This episode starts with a listener confession from a friend of the podcast, GST. From there, I give a budget update. Specifically, I address the idea of selling stuff just so I can buy more stuff, and working to break that cycle. From there, I discuss a bit of a branding crisis I'm currently having regarding all the different monikers I have for all my creative endeavors. Finally, I wrap by addressing a TikTok video made to poke fun at jazz gatekeepers.New '90s style jazzy hip hop beat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMiOXBu77SYListener confession form: https://dgmono.com/confessionEmail: [email protected]

I have a conversation with Bruce, who was known to many on Instagram as @wabisabiheadphones before shutting the project down recently. Bruce and I discuss mutual Cali friends, his upbringing in South Africa, meeting his wife in the UK and moving to California shortly after, befriending a hoarder who left his entire collection of 50,000 records to Bruce, PTSD, SSRIs, and the ways in which "story culture" can lead us to believe our lives will be a lot more exciting than they end up being, amongst other things.Listener confession form: https://dgmono.com/confessionEmail: [email protected]

The usual budget update, an update on my creative endeavors, then a little monologue on my thoughts about fame, celebritydom, and wealth; and coming to the more recent realization about how much my thoughts about them have affected my well-being and my life in general.
