Feeling Behind in Your Music Career? Watch This.

May 26, 2026
Charlie Gilder is stepping into what he calls _“The Gilder Era”_—and if you’ve been stuck overthinking every move, this episode is your wake-up call. In this _ZHZ Podcast_ interview, we talk about the mindset shift that helps artists stop staring at the problem up close and finally _zoom out_. Because in _Independent Music_, it’s way too easy to feel behind, feel overwhelmed, and feel like the whole game is stacked against you. Charlie keeps it real: you can either complain about the current music landscape… or learn how to play it and move forward. If you’re building in the _Utah Scene_ (or anywhere, honestly), this conversation is packed with perspective, encouragement, and practical ways to keep chasing your dreams without burning yourself out. * _What we get into:_ * * The “Zoom Out” mindset (and why it changes everything)   * What “The Gilder Era” means and why people connect with it   * How to keep moving even when the work feels like a lot   * Encouragement for artists who feel stuck, tired, or behind   * Why “playing the game” doesn’t have to kill your creativity   * _Follow / Support Charlie Gilder:_ * Want to keep up with Charlie and what he’s building?
