Musician and artist Jaclyn Dima talks about growing up in a musical family, finding her way through open mics and teaching, and returning to music with her latest single “I Won’t Dance For You.” We also get into genre hopping, perfectionism, and why she refuses to pick just one lane.
Key Takeaways:
You never really stop being a student, especially if you’re building a creative life.
Sometimes the path that works is the one you accidentally fall into, then choose to keep following.
Not every artist needs to pick one genre lane, especially when the audience connects with the person behind the work.
Details matter but at some point you have to stop tweaking and release the thing.

Don’t Take Shortcuts With Your Reputation (Dallas Jackson from TipSee Music)
Episode 267
Thursday, May 14, 2026 • Duration 39:43
Dallas Jackson, Founder of TipSee Music and The Hondo Rodeo Fest, shares how he went from finance to building music tech and event startups.

Key Takeaways
Big ideas become manageable when you break them into steps and stay willing to pivot.
Solving a real friction point matters more than building something flashy.
Getting creators to adopt a new tool often starts with trust, demos, and proof of concept.
AI can help startups stay lean, but the goal should be efficiency, not replacing people.
Reputation and integrity matter, especially in creative industries where relationships drive everything.
