Episode Title: Entitlement vs Accountability
In this episode of $old 4 a $ong, Terry Sawchuk dismantles one of the most dangerous traps holding artists back — entitlement. With 30+ years in the trenches of the music industry, Terry shares raw stories of sacrifice, failure, and resilience — from cashing in his retirement savings to spending nearly $20K just to chase a dream in the U.S.
Drawing on Russell Brunson’s Hook–Story–Offer framework, Terry breaks down the truth most creators avoid: if your music isn’t connecting, often it’s accountability. He explains how to find the missing link between attention, emotional connection, and conversion, and why success always favors the artist willing to be brutally honest with themselves.
This episode is a wake-up call for every musician who’s ever said “I’m not lucky like you.” It’s not luck. It’s courage. Because, as Dan Sullivan says, confidence is the byproduct of courage.
🎧 Tune in to uncover:
The difference between confidence and entitlement
Why exposure means nothing without mastery
How to audit what you're putting out there
The mindset that separates lifers from complainers
