Every time he got stuck on a sound, he'd step outside and smoke about it. For over 25 years, that was the creative ritual — chain smoking on the curb, rocking back and forth, thinking about the song. He was terrified that quitting would break something. That the ritual was inseparable from the creativity. 88 days later — it hasn't. He works longer sessions. He solves problems instead of stepping away from them. The creative output hasn't dropped. If anything, it's sharper. This applies way beyond music.

Jeremy Dawson (Grammy-nominated producer, Shiny Toy Guns) joined me on Super Tight Sessions for one of the most honest conversations I've had on the show. Episode link : https://youtu.be/zYvS4WjA8AA
