@Culture_Crit I think a huge part is lack of skills. People today think “being creative” is the endgame. There is no discipline or honor to the crafts at play. Music, sculpture, painting, writing… everyone is an “idea” person with no ability to execute. (And most of the ideas also suck)

Where/Who do you want to be in the future?
If you aren’t happy with ______ in your life, what are you doing to change it?
In 1, 3, 5 years from now will you still be where/who you are now?

How are you changing the course?

Take control. Take action.

This is awful advice

[Robert Bortins @TheRobertBshow]

By the time your 40 you should:

Be in the top 1% of something.
Be married w/ children.
Hold a strong counter cultural opinion.
Have a plan for retirement.

If you're not there, make a plan to get there.

@RosserJobs I think you could even zero this in to cities.

[Josh Marunde @JoshMarunde]

@singlemalt_25 @RosserJobs Disagree… education, small business support, economic growth, and safety are NOT the same.

@NYHC_RAY @DocCoyle 👀👀👀

@VinceNeilstein @DocCoyle @Sevendust Can’t just “rip off” M. Rose tho. Those drum patterns are something else.

[Josh Marunde @JoshMarunde]

@Culture_Crit Great thread. Well done. I hope to change this progressive flattening of (all) art; being the change I want to see

@clintlowerynet My friend has always said “Nickelback looks like a bunch of roofers… if those dudes showed up at my house I’d be like, ladder is out back” 😂😂😂

[Josh Marunde @JoshMarunde]

Can anyone in the architecture industry advise me on which is more valuable…
obtaining a (second) bachelors degree (in architecture),
or
M. Arch with an existing bachelors in business?

Coincidentally, my “new” adventure is creative, but I’m also revisiting an old creative outlet with a fresh approach, attitude, and mindset.

[Josh Marunde @JoshMarunde]

2024 HABITS
- brush my teeth THREE times per day
- 1 night minimum date night/cultural enrichment with Jess
- start something “new” - learn and be a beginner.
- challenge myself in a new creative field or skill

Let me explain…

[Josh Marunde @JoshMarunde]

Always be learning, growing, and evolving. I am passionate about this for myself. This year I have some amazing things in the pipeline that are both exciting and scary for me. I’m ready!
Even if I fall flat on my face.

[Josh Marunde @JoshMarunde]

We love to cook at home and just listen to music while we do so, but there’s something about “getting out” that sparks something special. Walks in a city, theater, coffee in a cafe, or other. Just get out, no phones, and connect over deep conversation and experience

[Josh Marunde @JoshMarunde]

Brushing my teeth everyday is easy, but I’ve never been a consistent 3x a day guy. Changing that. Were going strong at more than two weeks in 😁

[Josh Marunde @JoshMarunde]

@AdrianConway_ J. Cole is next level.

Tons of respect for Kendrick too, but J. Cole is (I believe) one of the most underrated ARTISTS out there.

[Josh Marunde @JoshMarunde]

Is the difference between a job and a hobby the audience / consumer?

A hobby is for you. Purely made for your joy.

A job is for someone else.

This feels the most true in art/creative endeavors.

[Josh Marunde @JoshMarunde]

That younger person often times a listener will also have to experience it for themselves

[Josh Marunde @JoshMarunde]

The thing with advice is that nearly no one takes it. It’s not their fault they just don’t understand it. They can’t grasp it until they’ve been through it.

When you’re young someone older than you tells you something and it’s good, sound advice but, you don’t really get it…

[Josh Marunde @JoshMarunde]

Then you eventually live it and understand it. Then, at some point, you will give someone younger than you advice, and you will think you have articulated it and explain it in a way that will resonate differently, but it won’t.
