Mount Everest is Everything Wrong With Society

Mount Everest is Everything Wrong With Society

Taking care of your health just got easier – start here with my sponsor Zocdoc: https://Zocdoc.com/patrickcc #sponsored

Wealthy tourists are paying luxury expedition companies to carry them up the largest mountain in the world. Sherpas risk their lives setting routes, hauling unnecessary supplies, and cleaning up the growing piles of trash and dead bodies left behind. This is how Everest transformed from one of the most respected achievements in mountaineering into a dangerous business built around ego, tourism, and social media attention.

RAYE spent years writing hits for global stars… while being told to wait for her own moment.

When she finally took control back and released “Escapism.” independently, everything changed. 🖤

A reminder for every artist: stop waiting for validation, perfection, or permission.

Release the song. Post the snippet. Tell the story.

People connect to honesty more than polish. 🎙️✨

10 Reasons Why You Should Do Vinyl...

https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-8sqy8-1ac944d

In this episode, we explore 10 real reasons why indie artists and record labels should seriously consider pressing vinyl records — even in a world dominated by streaming.
Presented by HELLBENDER VINYL
www.hellbendervinyl.com
 
From stronger profit margins and long-tail inventory to legitimacy, fandom, and discovering new audiences, vinyl continues to prove itself as more than nostalgia.
Scott shares observations from record stores, indie labels, younger music fans, resale culture, and his own experiences releasing records independently.
Why are teenagers lining up at 4am for Record Store Day? Why are used records suddenly worth real money again? And why does vinyl feel more culturally important now than it did 10 years ago?
