On this episode of The Cameo Show, Greg and I dive into an incredible story that started with an unexpected text message. Greg was offered the chance to compose a custom song for Monster Jam's latest monster truck debut! What followed was a whirlwind journey of excitement, pressure, and, ultimately, creative triumph.
As we recount the highs and lows, you’ll feel the rush of nerves and thrill as Greg, who’s used to making music for fun, faced the daunting challenge of creating for a massive audience. He opens up about battling between inspiration and self-doubt, and the countless times he started over, pushing for that perfect sound.
But here’s the twist—Greg didn’t end up scoring the Monster Jam debut. And yet, the story that unfolded along the way turned out even better than we could’ve imagined. It was about more than the song; it was about betting on himself, learning to embrace the process, and discovering unexpected rewards in the journey itself.
We also share some fun behind-the-scenes moments and heartfelt exchanges between us, highlighting how creativity and life both have a way of surprising you in the best ways. This episode is a reminder that sometimes, even when you don’t reach your end goal, the journey can give you something much richer.
Key Takeaways:
- Always Be Ready: Opportunities can pop up when you least expect them, so stay prepared.
- Be Tenacious: Greg faced setbacks but kept pushing forward until he found what worked.
- Bet on Yourself: Even when doubt creeps in, trust your ability to deliver.
- Have a Great Attitude: The outcome wasn’t what we envisioned, but with the right mindset, the journey itself became the real win.

Hope and Help After Hurricane Helene
In this episode of The Cameo Show, we focus on the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and the incredible resilience that emerges during tough times. Cameo shares the difficulty of moving forward while others are suffering and the human tendency to keep pushing ahead as a way to cope with the overwhelming nature of disaster. It’s easy to feel detached when it doesn’t affect us directly, but hard to ignore the suffering around us. It’s a powerful reminder that no matter how overwhelming disasters can be, every small act of kindness makes a difference. From volunteers clearing debris, to ditching the latte to contribute monetarily, to communities rebuilding together, the episode highlights the strength of people coming together. Even in the face of destruction, hope and solidarity help restore what’s been lost. Tune in to hear how you can contribute, because every bit counts.
