Press Play: The Remix
Back in the 90’s and 2000’s when remixes were a big thing, I couldn't wait to hear the new features, verses, and remixed choruses of some of my favorite songs.
Only a few remixes were as good as the original but they were still worth listening to.
When I published my first book — PRESS PLAY — in April 2020, I went on a journey to publish one medium article per week to get snippets of the full message to my book to a new audience.
I found it interesting that by mixing and mashing up certain chapter and sub-chapters from the book I could develop a fresh outlook on the ideas in the book without it losing its core message.
The core message being that music can radically galvanize empowerment and collaboration at a global scale to disrupt some of the biggest challenges we face in our communities.
I thought I would compile that list of medium articles into what I’ll call the “PRESS PLAY REMIX”
It’s the book — remixed and seen from a different persepective and you can read it all here by clicking on the “chapters” below.
I hope you enjoy it.
