What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

I have a desire to sing and to use my like my strengths and the fear of failure comes in [music] very often like as things grow there's always more on the line and that things won't like succeed exactly or it won't the show won't sell out or the the the song won't do well [music] it won't stream well the music video won't be viewed and you're putting so much of yourself into it and you also take it as like a so it's like I'm so invested in my music I I think I'm so invested in my music I I think I'm good at this. I really think I'm good at this. Hashem [music] shows me signs that I'm good at this. And so I put myself forward and then it's like, will you like it? Will you listen to it? Will you enjoy it? Will it inspire you? This episode is different. I sit down with Braha Jaffy to discuss her singing career. Balancing that with being a mom and wife and also big misconceptions the fans and the world has about her. I was honestly surprised with some of the moments in this episode and how vulnerable and real Mr. Jaffa was. This episode is in loving memory of Shiman Yakma Sarbasak Mosha and Shandel. Thank
