In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Cassie Shankman (aka DJ Cassandra), a dynamic Austin-based DJ, composer, producer, sound curator, educator, and all-around creative entrepreneur. Cassie is well-versed in the art of sound, as she is the founder of Sounds by Cassandra, an audio agency offering a diverse range of services, including DJ performances, sound curation, and original music composition. She is also the co-founder of Picardy, a web app designed to help users develop music theory skills. Cassie's passion for music has taken her to amazing places, and in this episode, she shares her journey, her entrepreneurial insights, and her advice for young creatives looking to tune into this industry. ! 💛🤘✨

We hope you enjoy!
