Rick Beato learned that the hard way.

Rick is a musician, educator, and YouTube personality with more than 3 million subscribers. The videos on his “Everything Music” channel regularly receive over a million views with more than 50 million total viewing hours to date.

He is also a great storyteller with a wealth of personal experience. So when he shares a true story of career suicide early in his won music career, it’s worth paying attention.
