@kaylinart everything I need to be hearing at this stage in my life. Luckily, I already lost my daily grind. But, serendipitously, I was already working toward being fully self-employed as a musician and talent manager (er, of sorts). It's rough going more than smooth at this stage, and I find myself often way out of my depth. But it's exhilarating, and I love what I do, what I promote, and the people that I work for and with. Sure, right now it's financially unstable and doesn't even earn enough to pay the bills, but that is something that, with some tenacity, can be overcome.
Again, thanks!
