Songs

Everything starts with a song.

Your career cannot advance unless you have the songs. If you're a songwriter, you may write them for yourself as an artist or you may write them for other people to perform/record. If you're an artist who does not write you will have to go out and find them - Everything starts with a song.

Without the Songs, you can't have a tour or a photo shoot. You can't talk about producing or marketing or branding. You can't even truly begin to know yourself as an artist, or be able to communicate your unique viewpoint to your fans without songs.

Music is a tool for the heart. Your lyrics open the lines of communication between your heart and the hearts of your supporters.

This was Sheryl's breakthrough hit from her 1993 debut album Tuesday Night Music Club. The song won 1995 Grammy Record Of The Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Phil Pallen

I'm Phil Pallen, a brand and AI strategist who has spent 15 years helping small businesses figure out who they are, say it clearly, and show up consistently. About six years ago, I started creating content on the side as a way to teach strategy and tools to people who wanted to build their brands themselves. That side project now makes up 80% of what I do, and it has given me hands-on experience with hundreds of tools, partnerships with over 150 brands including Adobe, and a clear sense of what actually works for small businesses.

I have delivered keynote speeches on five continents, written AI for Small Business, and created Brandmasters, a private membership community for small business owners serious about their brand.

I am not just someone who talks about this stuff. I live it, test it, and teach it every day.
