#86: Lessons From Ableton Loop

#86: Lessons From Ableton Loop

I went to Ableton Loop in Los Angeles and it was an incredibly valuable experience. There were excellent panels, discussions, meet ups, and performances. But aside from the scheduled events, some of the best moments were the moments between events. I had the chance to meet and talk to so many interesting people. I finally got to meet 3-D, real life versions of tons of people I've followed and interacted with through the computer screen. The spirit of the event was welcoming and inspiring.

Besides loads of inspiration, I took home some important lessons. In this episode, I share some of those with you. They are lessons from the panels and workshops, as well as wisdom I picked up during the many conversations I had with other attendees. I've already began to apply some of the concepts to my own work and life, and I hope they can help you too!
