January Recap: 40, No F’s, and Fenders


Read time: 2 min 1 sec

Whatup Reader!

And after 37 weeks, we have reached the end of January. 🫠

If you’re new here, I send these recap emails out on the last day of each month as a way to share the things that this awesome community has told me they’ve found helpful, and also to let you in on things that are coming your way in the next few months. I know you’re busy and I realize I put out a lot of content in a bunch of different places, so if you’re ever worried about missing anything, rest assured that the monthly recap will have all the important stuff in it.

Alright, let’s get into it!

From the ‘Gram:

I post what I want, and that’s all I have to say about that. Click any of the images below for the full experience.

From the Podcast:

New episodes of Maestro on the Mic dropping every Monday. Tune in wherever you listen to your pods. Tap the links below to listen to any of last month’s episodes or click the thumbnails to watch on YouTube and see just how animated I am when I speak ;-)

Thank you to everyone who has left a rating or review, and thank you in advance to anyone who was just guilted into leaving one ;-)

PS – How dope are these thumbnail images?! Shoutout to @docjoeo for crushing it!
PPS – After 6 ½ years I created and released a brand-new podcast intro! Would love for you to check it out. Don’t worry, Dr. JPop is still in it ;-)

From Other People’s Podcasts:

I had the honor of hopping on Lauren Davis’ podcast for some real talk about showing up in the online space and building a personal brand. Click here to give it a listen.

From Life:

After years of wanting one, I finally bought myself a Fender Telecaster. I’ve been playing it pretty much every day and am 100% living out my high school dreams. Green Day, Bush, Stone Temple Pilots…life is good.

Alrighty, that’s it for January. Bring on February!

Puhlease feel free to hit me back and let me know if you have any podcast episode requests, IG post ideas, or suggestions for new workshops/courses/services. I promise I read every single response.

Maestro out.


Do the thing.
