Song Archetypes with Kurt Goebel 

Archetypes have traditionally been the realm of films and filmmakers. Undeniable characters such as Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, Frodo and Thelma and Louise.

In this conversation, we talk about archetypes and how they apply to songs and music supervision. Giving music supervisors, and artist producers clear tracks to run on. As well as helping them avoid the playing “the music brief game” that distracts so many artists.

Kurt Goebel is one of Nashville’s finest producers and songwriters. Enjoy this conversation.

Build Your Moat - Protect, Fortify and Expand your Career

How to Protect, Fortify and Expand your career by learning to spot your vulnerabilities, gaps and blindspots.

On this episode of Hacking Music's weekly live podcast, John and Dylan discuss "Building Your Moat" as a smart artist and entrepreneur. Developing protective barriers around your career as a musician will be essential to longevity.

In any war or competitive game, you have your “Defense” and you have your “Offense”. Your “Defense” protects where you are NOW and allows your “Offense” for TOMORROW. So you can go score some points, things like: new initiatives, new campaigns, new deal and new partnerships.

Let’s talk about how you can strengthen your Defensive position so you can be on Offense even better.

Hey everybody, welcome to a conversation I call Agile Artists. This is all about managing projects that matter. We are joined today by my guest, Tommy Norman. This is EP 5 in How To Build A Platform Under Your Music: The 10 Habits That Are More Powerful Than Talent.

To be clear, I’m not talking about "quick" tasks, the “one and done” type things. I’m talking about chunky ones. The three month... six-month projects that are SUPER important to growing your career.

This conversation is about those kind of projects. The ones that may scare you a little bit. The ones that involve a number of people, all focused on building and winning together.

Capeesh?

When we start out, many of us may not think of ourselves as a “project manager”, but at the end of the day, as your career grows and you begin to work on larger and more important projects, your role is actually, that of “overseer” and “manager” of that project. You are the “director”of the film if you will.

For new-ish artists, often times, the thing limiting your ability to grow is you not recognizing that you are responsible for managing your projects. An young “artist’ will want to “feel” their way though, and “improvise” a way, after all they are artists right? Well, NOT when managing big and chunky projects. Operating as an “Artist” only will seriously limit your growth when you managing projects with your “creative" muscle.

As your career grows so do your responsibilities. This is exactly why I wanted to talk with Tommy. He has managed thousands of projects over the last 15 years and his HINDSIGHT is actually our FORESIGHT.

Also, if this makes your tail wag. I want to give you something that will move you forward.
