FMM152 – Christmas Mixes: Melodic Mix: Ian O’Shea

This week I’m bringing you something a little bit different… …and a lot special! To celebrate a wicked year inside the FMM community I thought it would be a great idea to showcase the talents and highlight the diversity and quality of what our members are producing. So I’m bringing you a very special series…

FMM151 – Best of Artists (A Look Back Over the Top Guest Moments)

Have you ever been in a position where the first time you heard something it wasn’t the right time? …but the second? That was the moment that flicked the switch. That was the moment that inspired you to be, do and have more in your life and with your music. That’s why reflection is important….

FMM150 – The Key Lessons I Learned From a Challenging Year

This year has been messy… …one of the most challenging years I’ve personally experienced in some time. And today I’m going to share with you those challenges – the highs and the lows – and how the journey unfolded up until now. Most of the world treats the end of the year as a time…

FMM149 – Boost Your Confidence and Enthusiasm by Measuring the Gap and Not the Gain

FMM145 – Opening the Creative Doors in Your Mind

Don’t be a ‘Yes, but…’ person! We all know people who rubbish ideas. Nobody wants to speak up and share ideas in their presence. And often nobody even wants to be around them. And yet unwittingly, we often find ourselves being THAT person… The person who picks holes in other people’s suggestions, cutting the creative…

FMM144 – The Incubation Period: Your Subconscious Weapon

So here’s the deal. We all hit creative problems. And we often try to solve those problems with the same level of thinking that created them. …forcing a solution the wrong way, digging in deeper, making the problem worse, and building frustration in the process. Maybe you start second-guessing perfectly good work, start to make…
