To navigate the music business is to navigate people and relationships.
FLOW is a new way to do just that— built around protecting your energy instead of burning out.
THE PROBLEM
Not only is it difficult to build new relationships in music, it’s also challenging to make sense of the ones you already have. You are always told this is an industry that is all about WHO you know. And that’s true to a degree, but it’s more about HOW you know people and controlling how your energy flows through them.
WHAT FLOW IS
FLOW treats your career like an energy system you can manage. It’s a framework that helps you see your relationships, both new and old, clearly. And when you are clear, you can move fast.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Protect your creative energy at the source
Turn inspiration into action without waiting for permission
Read the five currents running through your relationships
Decide what to do about each one — flow, rewire, or cut
Keep your circuit healthy for the long game
