Building Better Work-Life Balance | 52 Cues Podcast #254
In Episode 254 of the 52 Cues Podcast, host Dave Kropf is joined by community mentor Greg Fellman for a thoughtful conversation about work–life balance in the world of production and library music. Drawing from Greg’s background in social work and his journey into a “third-act” composing career, the episode explores practical strategies for building routines, setting healthy boundaries, and protecting a sense of play while still meeting professional demands. Dave and Greg emphasize that sustainable success in sync music isn’t about constant hustle, but about honest self-assessment, clear communication with libraries, and staying connected to a supportive creative community. For composers feeling stretched thin or on the edge of burnout, this episode offers grounded, actionable guidance for creating a music career that supports both artistic growth and personal well-being.
