HOW TO: Find Your Center Between Competing Passions (w/ Alaman Diadhiou)

This week, Alaman Diadhiou joins the pod. The guys discuss with Alaman what it really takes to carve out your own lane in the industry—and why you shouldn’t listen to people telling you to stay in theirs. 

They dig into the mindset shifts that keep you moving forward: realizing what’s good for you (not just what others expect), learning to compete with yourself instead of everyone else, and switching out of the “I’m not doing enough” spiral. Plus: the subtle art of making something look effortless when you’ve actually given it everything you’ve got.

And of course, they cover the importance of wearing multiple hats—metaphorically, and sometimes literally, if you happen to be in the national tour of MJ the Musical. From high level collaboration at songwriting camps in LA to establishing himself in NYC as trusted generator of new theater, Alaman is an oustanding example of how to carry purpose and academic rigor in everything you do. Take a listen folks!
