"The difference between personal brand and reputation is that your personal brand is what you tell others. Reputation is what others say about you after you've left the room."

Why Personal Branding Is the Smartest Investment You Can Make

“I don’t want our marketing to depend on me and my personal brand.”

I used to say the same thing.

And if I’m honest, I was afraid. Afraid of looking like I was making it “about me,” afraid of being misunderstood, of overstepping, of the perception that I was putting myself ahead of the work. I wanted the music to speak for itself. The studio to be the draw. The results to be enough.

So I hid. I let the logos, the gear, the big tracking rooms do the talking. I stayed in the background because it felt safer there. And for a while, I believed that was the right approach.

But then I looked around.

I’d run multiple studios, from small private rooms to large commercial facilities. The ones that stayed busy, the ones that thrived, were never the ones with the most gear or the flashiest control rooms. They were the ones where the engineers and producers built real trust, real relationships, and a real reputation.

🎶 From Music Production to Web Development: A New Journey Begins 🎶

It’s been a little quiet here lately, but for the past few months, I’ve been diving deep into web development and just wrapped up a coding bootcamp! 🎓

Interestingly, I’ve found that many of the skills I’ve honed in music production—like creativity, project management, and problem-solving—carry over beautifully into coding. One key area where both worlds overlap is staying organized.

As a new bootcamp grad, I’ve been focused on building a portfolio that I can really be proud of. Along the way, I’ve made mistakes, learned from them, and gained some solid insights. Every new project brings the challenge of keeping things neat, accessible, and ready to shine when it’s time to share.

I recently wrote an article about the strategies I found helpful for organizing web projects, hoping it might help others on a similar path.

As web developers, we love building projects, experimenting with frameworks, and diving into new ideas. But over time, the sheer volume of these projects can become overwhelming. If you’ve ever…

New upgrade for The Flem House: this slide-out keyboard tray was easy to build, and the hardware and materials were not expensive. I love not having to turn my whole body 90° to use the keys now.
