"You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don't Take" How Persistance Booked Reddstar on 3 BIG Music Festivals

Whether you are an artist, a business professional, a creative, anything, Wayne Gretzky said it best. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

From a musicians perspective, this means taking every shot you can to make your music known to the massive, and to have your band blow up and grow.

Our friend Daemien from Reddstar returns to the podcast after 2 years for a great episode diving into:

- How the band got booked to play Welcome to Rockville, Louder Than Life, & Aftershock festival in 2023.

- Why always pushing your music and not being deterred by rejection is the key to achieving huge opportunities for your band & art.

- The difficulty of succeeding in a creative space, and why it is massively different compared to difficult career paths like a doctor.

Another great band, great episode, with great friends. Subscribe as we bring more great bands and help you make more great friends on the Chord Progression Podcast today.
