TVS 034 – Investing in Royalties from Music Artists (Royalty Exchange)

Really excited for this episode as we explore a completely new investment vehicle, investing in royalties from music artists! I bring on Jeff Schneider, the CFO from Royalty Exchange , to share his path to becoming a CFO and insights into how the investment structure at Royalty Exchange works. Some of the artists that have used Royalty Exchange as a platform have included the artist who created the theme song for Dora the Explorer, music for Dumb and Dumber, and a Barry White Song!
