Bob Cowan tells his story since his younger years, into college, and after college. He discusses how he beat cancer (30 years cancer free this year!) and how it set him back when he first started his career. He took a step back, realized what had to be done, and tenaciously went for it. Bob lastly talks about his journey into Antarctica with Metallica to break a Guinness World Record.

Diane and I discuss the various marketing techniques she uses when promoting Hamilton or Dear Evan Hansen. She shares her favorite part of the brainstorming process and how her and her team took a “bare bones” pitch for Hamilton and turned it into something that translates and markets incredibly well.

Manuel Alegria is a colleague of mine and has a rough past. He talks about growing up in a tough space, being bullied, and not fitting in. He's now found his passion and wants everyone else to believe in themselves to follow their dreams, too.

Today is better than ever for artists and musicians alike to take advantage of the technology that they are presented with. Stem.is, for example, is a platform that eliminates the accounting aspect of an artist's career by splitting the royalties and payments. There are a broad range of other products, and Shanna Jade is at the forefront of it all.

Ethan Baer and I go into detail on the inner workings of a label deal, why a non-exclusive deal and assigning the copyright and publishing to a record label can be beneficial, and why the major labels (Warner Music Group, Sony Music, and Universal Music Group) still have so much power in today’s “independent” music industry.
