It’s important for me to surround myself with great people. Talented, inspired, positive human beings. I can play “so-so” music with amazing friends, but I cannot play awesome music with miserable people… at least not on a long-term basis.

In regards to networking, there’s nothing better than seeing people, and being seen by people. This means that you should get out of the practice room, and watch other musicians do their thing. And, play with other musicians as much as possible. This is truly the best, most honest form of networking.

The love you take, should be equal to the love you make.
