Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jacob Smith. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Jacob, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s been one of the most interesting investments you’ve made – and did you win or lose? (Note, these responses are only intended as entertainment and shouldn’t be construed as investment advice)
The worst investment I believe I made earliest in my creative career, in terms of both time wasted and money spent, I say were the unprofessional relationships I created that did nothing to further my brand or hindered my networking abilities. A certain loneliness is required to succeed as a musician, I’ve learned to discard and minimize distractions and excessive baggage. Invest in your loneliness.
Jacob, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’ve been writing, recording, and distributing music for half a decade. Music class in elementary and church with my Grandmother on Sundays. singing, drums, and pianos kind of indirectly steered paved the way for me. I specialize mostly in social gatherings, concerts, and tours and more recently I’ve began offering writing and vocal coaching services. The main thing I want readers and potential affiliates to know about my brand is that its forever expanding.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
Be yourself, become a savant, and care very little about the opinions of those who’s interests don’t align with your goals. I established my social media presence by maintaining a “do me” posture.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is the sharing of my talent to the individual who may never have heard of me or ever been exposed to my niche and simply hearing that they enjoyed it or gained some form of enjoyment from it.
