Episode notes

Cassie grew up in Florida, jumped around in England and is now based an hour outside Toronto. She's deeply invested in the roots she puts down into her community, both locally and online. Cassie: "I wish that somebody would have a more competitive edge on music options out there for online music"

Cassie McDaniel inspires us to get away from the ‘pick me’ mindset, and to pick ourselves. She challenges us to be willing to kill our darlings so that something better can emerge. She teaches us the importance of knowing our values, but also embracing the fact that they are going to change. She also encourages us to not just do what we’re good at, but do what we enjoy.
