"An accomplished entrepreneur and digital marketer, Marcus Alvarado started his career as freelance marketer while attending UCCS from 2009-2014. Before graduating with his Bachelor's degree in Business, he co-founded the university's first-student ran marketing club: The UCCS American Marketing Association. Upon departure, Marcus had made a name for himself as an experienced marketer and had the opportunity to spearhead the marketing for Eco Cabins, one of the first builders in the tiny house movement. With them, he had the the opportunity to market the first tiny home model to be featured on the HBA Parade of Homes in the country - Winning the coveted 2014 Colorado Springs Parade of Homes'​ People's Choice Award.   In efforts to continue work with the Colorado Springs' HBA, EcoCabins decided to organize a complimentary event during the opening weekend of the 2015 & 2016 Parade of Homes. For both summers, Marcus market/organize the world's largest tiny house exhibit (50 tiny houses), The Tiny House Jamboree, which took place in Colorado Springs, CO. This event brought over 50,000 people from all 50 states and 14 countries, gaining international attention. With events being hosted on The United States Air Force Academy and The Western Museum of Mining and Industry, The Tiny House Jamboree had instilled also itself as one of the largest events in Colorado Springs history - The New Yorker (http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/little-houses-by-the-prairie).  In the Summer of 2018, Marcus coordinated his own tiny house event (out-of-pocket) called, The People's Tiny House Festival, which drew in over 20,000 attendees and brought in an estimated economic impact of $2.4 Million to the Colorado Springs' economy. Today Marcus focuses his efforts on making The People's Tiny House Festival (also referred to People's Fest) an event that accurately gives patrons a taste of southern Colorado culture while also exhibiting downsized living options for all stacks of consumers." - Marcus's LinkedIn bio  Link to subscribe here: https://bit.ly/2PQxukB

Being in a band is a lot like running any other business. There's the usual paperwork and licenses to deal with, but there's also the challenge of finding the right people to work with. And then there's the matter of money. Like any business, a successful band needs to find a way to generate income and keep costs down. Colorado is an excellent place to be a musician, thanks to the state's supportive arts community. However, it can also be a tough place to make a living as a musician. There are a lot of bands competing for attention, and venues are often reluctant to pay for live music. As a result, many bands rely on merchandise sales and private events to stay afloat. It's not an easy business, but it can be very rewarding. With hard work and a little luck, any band can find success in Colorado. 

Learn how Angela Layman started her band and is navigating the industry and growing her band in this episode of COS Business Podcast.
