6:45 – our guests (you) expressed specific interests that they wanted something out of the podcast that Melissa wasn’t really interested in doing

Thank you for sharing your experience, Cory and Melissa – a great lesson of a graceful transition. Best wishes to you both as you grow and evolve.
Loved this you guys – I love how you modeled working together AND how to take new direction. I always learn so much from you: together and separately. I am looking forward to following both of you on your new adventures and growth!
Cory & Melissa,
I have to say that I’m sad to see Melissa go as she adds a nice feminine touch/perspective/sound to the podcast. I’m also sad to see the jingle and the tagline leave too…Living life on your own terms is just so much more inspiring than ‘selling art online’. Having said that, I’m really excited that Melissa is continuing to pursue her goals and art career and as always, I look forward to your podcast (soundcloud) each week! Hearing from artists, listening to their stories and picking up little tips and ideas is so encouraging. I was one of those that wanted you to ‘get to it’, dive in, etc. but please keep it human 🙂 Thank you for investing in better sound equipment – what a difference it makes! Thank you for all of your work and investment in us artists. I enjoy visiting each artist’s website, seeing their work, and expanding my perspective. I look forward to all that you create in 2015!
Thanks a lot Nelia. I appreciate the feedback. I’m looking to introduce new music with the new year, so stay tuned!
Cory, thanks so much for your amazing podcast! Very, very inspiring, with great guests! Keep up the amazing work!
