About this episode
The episode features an original song reflecting on the frustrations and pressures that hold people back from achieving their goals.
This is a little song I wrote in Feburary 2026 for no particular reason. It's about feeling frustrated that you're not managing to do the things you want to do, and the internal and external pressures that might be holding you back. Here are the words: What's holding you back? Is it the things that you lack or the things that you wish you had? What's bothering you? Is it the things you can't do or the things that you wish you knew? What's making you pale? Is it the fear you'll fail as you sail to seas unknown? What's slowing you down and making you frown? Is it the fear you'll look like a clown? Do you worry they'll mock you or try to stop you or try to get in your way? You can prove them wrong if you stay strong and stay true to your heart and soul The chords are D G A, and you can hear me singing and playing the baritone and tenor ukuleles, and the swanee whistle on the recording.
