  • Introducing Musicians Can Thrive

    This is a podcast for anyone seeking to make money in the music industry. There once was a time where “opportunities” were hard to come by. There were gatekeepers controlling the flow of distribution, restricting people’s access to whatever part of the industry they chose. Now, there’s no lack of opportunities for you to share your art with people. The hard part now, is knowing how to start, where to move next, what’s a good call for you, or a choice that’s better suited for someone else. It’s easy to get stuck. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed. My goal with this podcast is to help you learn about any number of ways that you can make a career for yourself, in the world of music, however you want to do it. It is absolutely possible.
