Tweetable Quotes"The industry is real tough and if you're ever exposed to that, I think you're going to have to realize that just being great at your instrument is great, but it's not enough. You need to do all the other stuff, which is like networking. Not being an idiot is quite an interesting part of it as well." "I thought there was too many podcasts at the start when I joined. I do believe everyone's got different voice. And what I mean by that is that's a bit of a cliche, but in a travel perspective, if you went to Thailand tomorrow and I went to Thailand tomorrow for the same amount of time, even in the same places, we're going to have different story because things happen to you that's different to me." "I think the real content there to really appeal is let's not give it away too much. Let's tell you what El Salvador is like and what I did and who I met and some sounds and some tips. But I want the imagination to not be completely gone. I want you to think, oh yeah, what else did he see? Like, should I go there?"Resources MentionedLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameshammondtravel/
