Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Are you creating something or hoping to create something, but you're holding back because of fear of judgment?

Oh, this is the story of life, isn't it?

or say what I mean, or be myself.

But, what if somebody doesn't like it? What if lots of people don't like it?

What if lots of people don't like it?

Well, I was listening to my friend Robin Sharma recently,

and please check out his two interviews on the podcast if you haven't already.

He's so awesome.

I write Nickelback songs for

a nickel back fans.

Nickelback over the years

has received a lot of, I don't want to say hate, but a lot of jokes at their

expense, people saying that they're like this terrible band or this one hit wonder or whatever,

other music altogether.

This is something that I think we can all take a lesson from my friends. Okay?
