We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jared Daws a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Jared, so great to have you with us today. There are so many topics we want to ask you about, but perhaps the one we can start with is burnout. How have you overcome or avoided burnout?
I break down my workload into smaller parts. For some people, they see their workload as A to B. A being the start, and B being the end. My secret lies in breaking things down more like A to Z. While it does keep you constantly working, it kind of softens the burden of the overwhelming big picture. As long as you do a little every day, you’ll move forward.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
The world today is full of music. Thanks to the internet, there’s more music than there’s ever been. With that being the case, the lines of what defines a genre are getting blurred more and more. I grew up listening to country music as a kid and wish to preserve much of that sound in what my band & I do. There are thankfully several torch bearers for real country music, they just don’t get the mainstream media coverage like the artists that are considered country nowadays do. My goal is to be passed the torch and to one day pass it on.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Learn how to market yourself. Also learn who your team is. Your team should consist of people who speak highly on your behalf when you’re not around to represent yourself. Also, don’t put out any content that isn’t quality. The world is full of content, so put out your best work.
What would you advise – going all in on your strengths or investing on areas where you aren’t as strong to be more well-rounded?
I think it’s easier to do what you’re best at and to hire people who are better in other areas. You should educate yourself on those areas, but don’t waste too much time trying to be the best at everything.
