Episode 12 – Less Is More

What if the biggest legacies in life begin with the smallest seeds?

In this episode of Layer By Layer GO!, Don explores the power of restraint, persistence, and simplicity:

• Yellowstone – Taylor Sheridan’s one script that Hollywood rejected again and again, until persistence turned it into an empire.
• Beth Dutton & She – the Yellowstone character who inspired Don’s award-winning song, now streaming in The Vault.
• Tubthumping – one chorus shouted around the world, and how Don & The Tans made it their own in the 90s.
• Garlic Butter Shrimp with Sourdough – proof that five ingredients can taste like a feast (and why butter is the exception to “Less Is More”).
• Stacked Triumphs – Post-its, White-Out, Boston’s More Than a Feeling… stories of persistence layered into success.
• The Beatles – All You Need Is Love — five words broadcast to 400 million people.
• Bohemian Rhapsody – Freddie’s tiny “opera seed” that became Queen’s greatest masterpiece and shook the world at Live Aid.

Plus: Daily Flight Plans, Classic Clips, and how you can join Don behind the scenes in The Vault.
