In today's digital age, streaming changes everything. The big question isn't "What next?" It's "How do we keep our skills sharp and stay successful for the long haul?"

In the premiere episode of Creative Evolution, host Josi J sits down with Full Sail Alumnus, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and music director Frank Sheadrick Jr.. Frank gets real about the harsh realities of the music business, sharing his method for turning career stress into creative stability.

Discover why raw talent might get you into the room, but it’s dropping your ego, staying prepared, and embracing "professional humility" that keeps you there. Plus, Frank steps into the "Hot Seat" for a rapid-fire round of music industry questions.

Key Takeaways from this Episode:

• The Danger of the Ego: Frank shares his early struggles with being a "know-it-all" and how a humbling experience taught him the importance of keeping it simple and "staying in the pocket".

• The "Rock Star Good" Challenge: Inspired by Dave Grohl’s book The Storyteller, Josi J challenges listeners to stop sitting on the sidelines, join the march, and pick one area of their life to become "Rock Star Good" at.
