Hanging Out With Chops
Episode 19 - The Silence After the Applause
After winning one of the biggest awards in music, I expected to feel complete. Instead, I found myself in a strange, quiet kind of depression — the kind that sneaks in after you’ve achieved everything you thought would make you happy.
In this episode, I open up about what happens when the applause fades and the success doesn’t fill the emptiness you thought it would. It’s a conversation about identity, purpose, and learning that this job — this art — is a reflection of what we do, not who we are.
If you’ve ever hit a goal and still felt lost afterward, this one’s for you.
