Stop the Gossip

Our industry has a nasty gossip problem, and I’d love to see us band together to change it.

I once heard Dave Ramsey define gossip as:

“Discussing something negative with anyone who can’t help solve the problem.”

So simple.

You can choose to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.

The next time you are tempted to complain or discuss something negative with a fellow artist (in person or online) ask yourself, “Can this person help solve the problem?” If the answer is yes, share your thoughts. If the answer is no, stop gossiping and keep your thoughts to yourself.

Let’s create an industry culture we are all proud to be a part of.
