“Don't be afraid. What's the worst that can happen?”

Marty O’Donnell the Ytram: Always Take the Risk. Never Stop Weaseling

Most know Marty for the creation of the music behind Halo, but there’s much more to his story that never gets told…

  1. His history being a jingle writer
  2. His entire recording studio burning down to the ground
  3. Weaseling his way into working on Riven for over 3 years

It’s all of his stories he shares that gives true meaning to advice like “Don’t be afraid” and “What’s the worst that could happen?”
