In this week’s episode of the 52 Cues Podcast, Dave revisits an idea he first shared back in 2021: the artisan mindset. With technology—and especially AI—reshaping creative industries, Dave asks if artisan thinking still holds up. Spoiler: it does, but it’s evolving. The “new artisan” doesn’t just focus on sustainable output; they craft music with authenticity, curiosity, and human imperfection—qualities no machine can replicate. Listeners are encouraged to find their superpower, specialize, and raise the bar on quality. The takeaway? It’s never been easier to make high-quality music, but it’s also never been more important to make it human.
