What happens AFTER you "make it" as a full-time music producer? In this deeply personal episode, host Daniel Grimmett brings together two revealing perspectives: a producer who recently went full-time and IllFactor, a GRAMMY-winning producer with 23 years experience.

Together, they explore the rarely discussed aftermath of achieving your production goals and the surprising identity crisis that follows.

Beyond just identifying these challenges, they share practical insights on how to navigate these emotional hurdles while rekindling your original love for music. This conversation pulls back the curtain on a topic most industry professionals won't admit to struggling with.
