In this episode, I speak with a brand new record label that have yet to release their first album, Wicked Opossum Records. This label decided to undertake the daunting task of putting together a Kinks compilation that features artists like Wheatus, The Operation MD, Riverboat Gamblers, and many more. And they seemed to have pulled it off!

Some of the takeaways from today's interview include the fact that no one’s going to give you permission, "rush into research" and how everything costs more and takes longer than you planned!

Let's talk about how to find an investor for your record label. And more importantly, why someone might want to invest in your label... 

This is actually a question that I’ve been asked a lot in our community. I understand that for a lot of you, this isn’t something that may interest you. Perhaps you like operating with your own resources, as an independent company. But for some of you, this is something that you’re interested in or at least want to know more about what it means to find an investor in your record label.

I actually really enjoyed putting together today’s episode – because even though looking for outside investors hasn’t ever been on my radar – I feel like I have a lot more clarity about this space – and I think you’re going to find this helpful, regardless of where you are on your label journey.
