Celebrating Every Win: Rule No. 26 EP 003

Rule No. 26 *Ideas are easy. Execution is where the real work begins.* Rule No. 26 is a living-room conversation between two longtime creative collaborators, John and Michael, who have spent more than 20 years making things happen across music, photography, videography, events, and business. We've produced shows together. Created albums together. Built projects together. Thrown events together. And, along the way, we've learned a lot about what it actually takes to turn an idea into something real. On Rule No. 26, we talk about the messy middle—the decisions, failures, breakthroughs, creative disagreements, business lessons, technical challenges, and unexpected moments that happen between *"We should do this"* and *"We actually did it."* This isn't a podcast about pretending we have everything figured out. It's two experienced creatives sitting on a couch and talking honestly about: • Building and executing creative ideas • Music, photography, video, and production • Creative entrepreneurship and making money from your craft • Collaboration, leadership, and creative disagreements • Why great ideas fail—and why some actually work • The business behind creative work • Technology, AI, and the changing creative landscape • Lessons we've learned the hard way over 20+ years • The stories behind the projects we've created together If you're a creative, entrepreneur, artist, filmmaker, photographer, musician, producer—or simply someone who has an idea you're trying to bring to life—**Rule No. 26 is for you.** Pull up a seat. Let's talk about what it really takes to make a play. *Subscribe and join the conversation.* #RuleNo26 #CreativeEntrepreneurship #Creatives #CreativeBusiness #MusicProduction #Videography #Photography #Entrepreneurship
