Install day for an LED light wall at Mills James! Pretty cool to be apart of this set and see this thing in action. I forgot to snap a photo with it turned on and showing a picture. Whoops!

Got to witness the setup for Dave Matthews Band at Nationwide Arena Thursday night. Was awesome to see such a large scale performance setting and all the work and people involved.

We then worked Friday night from 10pm-8am to change it back to hockey for tonights game. And then another over nighter to cover the ice and set back up for another concert, MercyMe, on Sunday.

Why I think motivation is crap!

I'm listening to another podcast from Scott's Bass Lessons that is reaffirming my mindset around motivation. Yes, it's a podcast about bass guitar but this can be applied anywhere in your life. (Impact Theory is another great podcast that talks about this, episode #184)

Where does motivation come from? What causes it? Why do we not feel motivated at times?

We continually beat ourselves up when we aren’t practicing or working on something. We feel UNMOTIVATED. Is it motivation that drives us to do something? No, it’s deeper than that. It’s a goal that we have in mind, a gig that we have to get ready for, it’s something that DRIVES us. Drive is what keeps us going. I have been putting more focus on what drives me and what I want to accomplish.

Creating this page is a primary driving force that gets me to practice every day. I want to put out quality content in the form of videos and recordings to be able to market myself when meeting new people in the industry. I want to be able to connect with people. Sitting in my room practicing scales for no reason wasn’t working for me. I needed a bigger purpose. With the recent move to Columbus, I am focusing on networking and meeting new people. If anyone is going to hire me, I have to have my chops together and quality content to view.

If you have had experiences or thoughts on the matter, let me know in the comments

Today I interviewed with Nationwide Arena to be on their change-over crew part-time for the Columbus Blue Jackets! They will be extending an offer letter! Woop woop! I will be helping get the stadium ready for different events and working some of the events. Very excited to get experience in a large event setting!

Listening to this podcast today by ScottsBassLessons.com . The second half has been great tearing down the stigma of practicing numerous hours per day, always having quality practice time, and constantly making vast amounts of progress. In response to Scott Devine, Ian Allison quoted, "Time spent with the instrument, is quality time." Meaning it is okay to fiddle around and have FUN instead of constantly grinding out scales and exercises!

I plan to keep this in mind this week to change my thinking around practice and progress made. After all, it's a marathon, not a sprint!
