Hey everyone, I’m Mateo! If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that my life pretty much revolves around music. I’d love to combine my love of music with a practical career, so I’m considering majoring in business and looking into industry gigs, behind the scenes kind of stuff. Maybe marketing? Production? Booking?

I’ll admit, I’m pretty independent, sometimes to a fault. I’m a hard worker, but I’ve definitely put my foot in my mouth a few times by speaking my mind without, you know, running it through the filter first. It’s something I’m working on.

I’m going to be your guide through a section focused on common mistakes and conflicts. We’ll talk about everything from dealing with family disagreements to handling those awkward moments when you say the wrong thing. More importantly, we’ll cover how to resolve these conflicts and move forward.
