Every leader is operating from one of two orders.

There's no neutral ground in leadership—you're either building on human systems sustained by control, or you're building on Christ's order sustained by covenant, and the difference determines everything.

Once again, the big “musicbiz” giants are making many of us indie folk shift our priorities. If you listen to my music on Deezer or Spotify, I’m really grateful to you! If you share or add my tracks to playlists, I’m hugely thankful for that, too. And now for the rest of the story… ## What’s bad? In the middle of 2023, streaming service Deezer and publishing giant Universal Music signed a deal to shift royalty payments towards the big acts in Universal’s catalog and reduce new music discovery. Though they touted it as “artist-centric”, I have no doubt this is taking aim at independent musicians and labels. Their priorities are clear. Spotify already had an abysmal reputation regarding royalties. But they thought Deezer’s new approach was so cool that they jumped on board and will be follow suit in the coming year. Talk about priorities. Soon after Spotify made this announcement, two of the playlists I curated for independent artist tracks were flagged as fraudulent. So far as I know (even after re-reading the dense and long terms of service again), I did not violate any of their rules. Furthermore, I have never paid for promotion (which is too likely to be listening “robots”) by any third party. After they notified me about this flagging, dozens of other indie artists confirmed that their playlists were also taken down. So, I’m pretty sure I know why they are flagging these particular playlists. If I’m correct, it’s a dirty game they are playing. Changes in royalty payments by #streaming radios will have a huge impact on #indiemusic Click To Tweet ## Emphasize the good I like shifting priorities when it contributes to my own health and improves my relationships as a result. That’s why I’m in the process of culling many things at the moment. This ranges from commercial e-mail lists that no longer serve me to forms of music self-promotion that provide no return. As you can tell by what I’ve told you so far, I’ll be prioritizing the streaming services differently. Previously, one of those forms of self-promotion was playlist curation on Spotify. I was spending countless hours recruiting indies, listening to their tracks, and sharing playlists on this platform. I’ll leave those streaming services in my listings, but I will no longer promote them specifically. (And just like that: Look how much time I just saved for romping through the forest with RB!) Instead, I’ll be prioritizing the streaming platforms that seem to care about unsigned musicians like me. Because of my experiences so far, initially I’ll be focusing on Pandora, Apple Music, and YouTube. Each of these offers a decent toolkit for indie artists. Plus, I have always felt like their play-count and payouts are a tiny bit more honest. As time permits, I’m sure I’ll be writing about my experiences. After all, I may have to shift my priorities again. Thanks for following along. Focus on the good whether that’s in creating community or improving business relationships Click To Tweet ## Priorities As I noted earlier, I’m also downsizing other things including my in-box. During the most recent flurry of music gear sales, I noticed how few of them even caught my attention. I chatted with a number of other musicians who were similarly disinterested. So, I’ve been unchecking the “subscribe” button dozens of times recently. This is only _one_ other example of how I’m aligning my priorities with my life. I cannot stop composing, writing, and performing music. Hopefully, it’s obvious to you that I get too much internal return from it to stop. But I can easily prioritize what’s working for me. There’s no need for me to put effort towards things that have no return. I’d much rather play the piano in the dining room while my beloved spouse makes us a delicious dinner.

I finished #MakeTheShift on my way to Kroger today. So now I’m back to Goggins.

P. S
I’ve been really invested in her journal prompts at the end of each chapter.

Begin everyday with a heart full of gratitude. Think back to the events of the past and be thankful for all of them whether they were good or bad. Know that every single event in your journey is leading you to something greater.

Spring into Action in 2023; Be the Best You can Be(e) - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog (Beyond Pesticides, April 12, 2023) Spring represents a period of increased water, soil, and general ecosystem pollution, correlated with increased pesticide use and increased rainfall. Thus, April showers bring May flowers, and often pesticides. We offer this overview to share with friends, family, and your community in an effort to elevate the urgent need to eliminate pesticides and make the shift to organic land management. Pesticides are pervasive in the environment, affecting all ecosystems, including air, water, and soil. Like clean air and water, healthy soils are integral to ecosystem function, interacting between Earth’s four main spheres (i.e., hydrosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, and atmosphere) to support life. Pesticide use results in pervasive contamination of treated and nontarget sites. Even organic farmers and gardeners globally suffer from the widespread movement of pesticides through the air, water, and runoff from land. Attempts to protect property and ecosystems from pesticide use are a difficult, some say impossible, challenge. Efforts to prevent contamination become a large burden, with attempts to curtail pesticide drift with buffer zone areas and eliminate fertilizers or soil supplements with pesticide residues (e.g., manure and compost). Furthermore, the effects of climate change only exacerbate threats to ecosystem health, as studies show a […]

#DN: While #April #showers bring #May #flowers, they also bring #pesticides along for the ride!

#Spring into #Action to be the #best you can #bee! 🐝

Share with #friends, #family and your #community to stop pesticide use and #maketheshift to #organic!
