The Mike Herrera Podcast

In this episode:

  • Looking Back and Moving Forward: I kick off the episode by looking back at January and setting the tone for February. It's all about embracing change and not standing still.
  • The Power of Consistency: I share my philosophy on consistency and how it's key to achieving any goal, whether it's learning to play the drums or writing a great song.
  • Songwriting Insights: I dive deep into my songwriting process, from capturing ideas on my phone to organizing lyrics and putting together full songs. I emphasize the importance of writing a little bit every day.
  • And more
