🎙️ Episode Title: I Just Want to Be Unique… Like Everyone Else

Description:
There’s an ancient music industry haiku that perfectly sums up the madness of chasing trends:

“Who is this Bob Dylan?
Find me this Bob Dylan.
We’re looking for more of a Bob Dylan.
We’re looking for a younger Bob Dylan.
Who the hell is Bob Dylan?”

In this week’s Sold for a Song, Terry Sawchuk breaks down how the industry’s obsession with replication has crushed originality—and how true freedom as a creator begins when you stop competing and start remembering who you are.

Drawing inspiration from Dr. Bruce Lipton’s insights on subconscious programming and epigenetics, Terry explores how our environment and beliefs shape not just our creative habits but our entire DNA expression. What if the real act of rebellion for artists isn’t fighting the system, but deprogramming it from within?

Tune in to discover:
🎧 Why “market share” thinking kills creativity
🧠 How subconscious programming affects your artistry
🔥 The secret to building a sustainable career through authenticity
💡 Why your unique blueprint—not algorithms or trends—is your biggest leverage
