    Jacques, you have no idea how encouraging these tips are to me. I have zero desire to imitage trends for the algorithm, but I care deeply about the work I make. Then, "winning relationships between friends". Yeah. That hits hard. Actually that’s how I’ve tried to go about it and it’s not even that hard. You meet people, and the ones you get along with the best and share creative visions, you keep working with. And it’s actually enjoyable.
    Finally, I wholeheartedly agree with the values you talk about. As a Christian, I deeply believe in these values anyway, but it’s so encouraging to hear that living by them actually pays off.
    P.S.: I think your music selection was absolutely amazing. Good ad for musicbed, even before the ad read. ;)

    No. 5 hit me right in the gut. I used to work a lot with a friend whom I swore I’d never work with again. But to be honest, the projects we did all turned out awesome. I remember the last big project was kind of a pain because he and I built up some tension, and we almost had an argument in front of the whole crew. Now I realize that was because we were pretty angry with each other since we hadn’t been spending enough time together and hadn’t taken care of our friendship.
    We met last week, and he was super grateful to see me. Honestly, we had great times when we saw each other almost every day. We never argued, and the projects (although small and not very important, and never released) went smoothly. We just had a great time. You encouraged me to take more steps toward him and to repair the bridge I was trying to burn. Thanks! :)
