I want to be honest with y’all. If you’re in GPCU but not really taking advantage of what’s here yet, you’re leaving growth, progress, and opportunity on the table. This space was built to help you move forward — not stay stuck. I’m here to help you get to the next level. That part hasn’t changed. For the people who are gaining insight, clarity, and direction from GPCU — please let me know in the comments. I want to hear from you. For the people who haven’t tapped in yet, make sure you’re checking the Classroom and engaging with what’s there. More courses and lessons are coming soon. 👉🏾 If you’re unsure where to start, comment “START” below and I’ll point you in the right direction. Also — if you see new faces joining GPCU, welcome them in the comments. This is our community, and culture matters here. Let’s move with purpose. — Dammo

Just dropped: my second full interview with CanvasRebel!* I opened up about what drives me as a musician, the risks I’ve taken, and the mindset behind building a life doing what I love. We dug into how I stay creative, stay hungry, and turn challenges into momentum. In the interview I share: • Why choosing the uncertain path of a full-time musician was the biggest risk worth taking. • How I stay inspired even when the grind gets real. • What creativity means to me beyond just performance. 🔗 Read the full interview: https://canvasrebel.com/meet-nathan-ricks-2/
