In this week’s episode of the 52 Cues Podcast, Dave Kropf reminds us that the biggest transformations in our production music careers aren’t born from huge wins—they’re quietly built through small, daily choices. From simply opening your DAW even when you’re not feeling inspired, to practicing intentional listening, carving out moments of silence, staying curious when things get tough, and fiercely protecting your creative time, Dave breaks down five (plus a bonus!) mindset shifts that shape your path over the long haul. He also highlights the importance of choosing community over isolation, reminding us that real growth happens when we show up for ourselves and each other. Plus, Dave offers an insightful cue review of "Think Harder," a soft tension track submitted by a 52 Cues member. It’s an episode full of encouragement, practical wisdom, and a nudge to keep moving forward—one small step at a time.
