Monday, 20 July, 2026
After 327 days away, I'm back with a lot to share.In January 2025 I took a full-time road gig as TobyMac's playback engineer. In the same stretch I got rid of my office and the three people who helped me run this business, all left.Meanwhile, AI was changing how everyone learns, I was struggling with what being a creator on social media means, and re-focusing on my mission to make complex things simple.So I started building a vibe-coded app to keep my own band organized became Pliris: upload your stems, get back song sections, key and tempo, LTC, lyrics, chords, and a downloadable Ableton set. Overnight, it compressed five weeks of Playback Method curriculum into a single upload.Here's my path forward, and what I'm working towards till the end of the year.Chapters 00:00 Back after 327 days 02:21 How the TobyMac gig found me 04:09 "Prepare to be amazed" 07:27 What a road gig did to a solo business 11:15 The ChatGPT answer that was half wrong 13:46 The mission: making complex things simple 16:12 The Ableton app I never shipped 17:44 Vibe coding the Bands app 20:11 Becoming Pliris 23:07 The top secret master plan 26:08 Five weeks of curriculum in one upload 36:34 Why I went quiet: the influencer problem 42:44 1,000 members by the end of 2026 48:27 Sneak peek: the Files appListeners get a 14-day free trial of Pliris, which we don't offer anywhere else: https://fromstudiotostage.com/pliris/friendJoin as an annual All Access member and I'll personally help you migrate your entire catalog — first 50 only.Grab the free tracks template: fromstudiotostage.com/template Read the master plan: fromstudiotostage.com/blog/the-from-studio-to-stage-secret-master-plan More about Pliris: fromstudiotostage.com/pliris Docs: fromstudiotostage.com/docs The Bands app: bands.fromstudiotostage.comQuestions? support@fromstudiotostage.com or @fromstudiotostageig on Instagram.Next week: Nate Day and Mat Landry of Eights Creative. ★ Support this podcast ★
