J., a musician, once told me that “to play music and get paid for it is a privilege, not a right.” For the longest time, I held that idea close to my heart. 20 years later, I believe now is the time to consider a change.

To bring joy to others is service to others. To get paid to bring joy to others is a privilege, not a right.

The other night, I lived that creed through music. Today, I live that creed as a leader.

How do you live that creed?
