I'm Adam Manis. And I'm Peter Martin. And you're listening to the You'll Hear podcast. Daily Music Advice, coming at you. Coming at you today, sponsored by Open Studio. We are live on YouTube right now answering your questions. If you're listening to this in the podcast, please join us over at the Open Studio YouTube channel every Monday at 4 p.m. Eastern. We answer your questions. And today we're trying something new. We're trying a lot of new. If you can imagine what just happened, you missed it. We don't know which screen's going where. Yeah, we did a bunch of new stuff. What? What's going on? I'm sorry, I cut you off there. You were saying some important administrative information. No, you know, we thought we would start this recording with a little, with some segments, some ketchup segments, right?

So we'll start with some check-ins, a couple of check-ins, and then we'll move on to a Q&A. How does that sound? That's right. And if this proves as popular as we think it's going to. Oh, it's going to be popular. And, you know, you can always let us know by smashing that like button. Literally dozens of people. Now, if you don't, this is the way this works.

If you like these segments, if you like the show in general, if you like Adam, if you like me, if you like anything, if you like these beautiful blue lights, you're going to smash the like button, which is the thumbs up. If you don't like it, you're going to do nothing, okay? We're not actually smashing the, because the down button means like that has repercussions on us, right?

Yeah, give us some likes.

We've only got a few right now.

Just hit that like button.

And that way everybody can hear it and see it. And you'll, wait, you'll like it. Wait. You'll like it. Let's get to the check-in. I like this idea, man. So we're just going to start with a practice check-in.

Is that right?

Yes, we're going to do a practice check-in.

I thought this would be a good chance for us to be like,

Because this is a weekly kind of situation here. going to start with a practice check-in. Is that right? Yes, we're going to do a practice check-in. I thought this would be a good chance for us to be like, how was you practice during

the last week? Because this is a weekly kind of situation here. And we were talking about how we were kind of accountability partners, and we had the check-in for a while, which proved successful with what did you say no to until the whole world said no to everything. And then we had to say no to everything.

So that we didn't need anymore.

But we've both been doing some

some interesting practice

and talking about it.

So I thought it would be good

kind of a kind of accountability and maybe illuminate the folks and eventually they can even be checking in with us. Right on, right on. So man, since last week, so I bought that book that you recommended to me called Peak Performance and about halfway through. And it's great. Actually, we talked about

a little bit today on the daily guide of practice session earlier. But I've been really into the

stress and rest thing. Like I've been really tweaking how stressed am I making myself during my practice

sessions, really trying to get into that sweet spot. There was a great analogy in the book of you want to,
