So true. I've had to work on my parts of my personality to make myself more likable. Being self aware of how others perceive you is the first step. Not everyone has to work on this but, some people like me do.
You know I've always been a guy that was completely loved or hated but always made people feel some kind of way, rarely are people indifferent to me. Plenty of people do dislike me, generally it's the "preppy" types. Unfortunately the college kids, the people who are making clothing companies, getting their foot in the door at media companies, radio & event companies, they tend to be this type. I've gotten much more deliberate with how I treat people, I'm always trying to be of service, doing my best to be someone that you would rather know & have around & that has done wonders for me just in life. Driving a car with a nice logo has opened doors for me. I've met some quite successful people who took a liking to me I think because of my sincere or humble ambition, & I continue to get sharper & sharper in creating opportunities. It feels like the last challenge is to finally break down the barrier between myself & those "preppy" kids (really can't think of a better word cause it's not specifically an affluence thing, it's a personality they have) but idk, even if I dress well & pull up in my nice car & try to "act white", on top of all the stuff that normally gets me along with anyone else, it's like they can just smell it on me that I'm not like them. Eventually I hope to just have a manager or someone that can handle those interactions for me but i think I'll have to figure it out for myself first to get to that point. I'm sincere so it might not be anything wrong about me but it's my responsibility nonetheless. I don't know if this is similar to your experience but any insight you may have I would be glad to hear. thanks for your comment & if you read this far thankyou for reading lol.
I'm here... don't know how. But thanks. Really needed to hear those last words: "Learn how to be somebody that other people want to spent time with." Big Hug from México.
Thank you Jon. I needed to hear this. Sometimes, I feel like I'm not that good at building relationships with other musicians but then I get around people that are on the same wavelength and magic happens.
Excited to learn more! I am currently working to become a better musician and even have talked about starting a band with some other musicians, but I have been curious about what goes into it all.
Just make a pact with the devil in Clarksdale Mississippi where Highway 49 intersects with Highway 61 go there to become the ultimate blues musician like Robert Johnson
This is all really awesome. You’ll be part of my discussion with Coop one day when I talk about picking a career and how to make the most of what God has given him.
Yes, surround yourself with people that inspire you to be a better person. You are one of them. Thank you Jon. Police action in a retirement village? 😂 Must be a cat caught in a tree (I hope).
Is that the lift bridge in Canal Park in Duluth, MN? I recorded samples there that I used on my first album. It's a magical place, especially at sunrise! 😊🌅🎶
too much fun. GREAT to have you here in Minnesota!
Oh, sweet Gabe Scott!!! I can’t think about Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethlehem without thinking about him, too.

Welcome from Texas!

Love the sincerity Jon...Looking forward to see what comes out of Somerville Sounds!
Thank you Jon. I needed to hear this. Sometimes, I feel like I'm not that good at building relationships with other musicians but then I get around people that are on the same wavelength and magic happens.

Always inspired by your videos. Looking forward to hearing what you and the team are cooking up.
If only there were some new plugin to help with relational skills!
