When it comes to creative work, we need to ship it as frequently as possible.
“Shipping” meaning that we’re publishing our work so it can be seen, heard, or experienced by our audience.

And the more you ship, the faster you can get through that 90%, and the sooner you can get to the big one.

For parents, students, and anyone else who believes that music can and should be a meaningful part of everyone's life.
