Staying in Your Lane and Showing Up
Sitting in Jason Aldean’s bar in Vegas last night, waiting for the band to start.
I’ve been into US country music for years — ever since my sister Cara was in the Tamworth Starmaker finals back home. That was my first real exposure to the whole scene.
Two days ago I realised I’d never even heard of Jason Aldean. At first I thought, “How did I miss this guy?” Then it clicked — the US market is so big that even someone sitting at number eight in a niche‑within‑a‑niche can build a massive career just by showing up consistently and being true to themselves.
Celebrity Net Worth reckons he’s worth around $100 million.
All from staying in his lane and doing his thing.
There’s something in that whether its for recovery, business or just being the CEO of YoL (Your Own Life).
