We’re back. Season two. Did you also think it might never happen? In this episode, we catch up after a much-needed break, talk about why YouTube banned our channel for using our own music, and unpack the burnout that came from trying to play the social media game.

We cover a lot; from Greg’s bold move to release his new album without streaming, to the fundamental importance of community around music and why we’re both done chasing algorithms. We also share the cover songs we made of each other’s music, which turned out to be both emotional and a little terrifying (Spoiler: Greg's took 2 hours, Matt's took 2 months).

This season, we’re doing things differently. Less clout-chasing, more connection. If you’re tired of the noise too, you’re in good company. - Matt & Greg

In this finale episode, we reflect on how far we’ve come, the key lessons we’re taking away, and the ways we’ve grown while making this podcast. We discuss how our conversations - with each other and our guests - have reshaped how we approach our careers and overcome challenges.

Even more significantly, we explore how the lessons we're learning from relaunching our music careers can apply to anyone navigating adversity.

Thank you for being part of the DROPPED journey! We have big ambitions for the podcast and can’t wait to share what we have in store for Season 2!

Much love, Greg & Matt
