Sometimes the bio of our guest does the best job of summarising why you should listen to the episode - and todays guest - Zack Gray - has a line that does just that - 'I help EDM producers become headliners'.

And not just that - Zack is a v talented musician / songwriter / DJ himself so has a lot of empathy for the struggles. But at the same time, shares all of what he's learnt, both from his own journey and the artists he's helped build up.

Also - even if you're not in electronic music - this episode is still full of actionable insights and gems to help ya move a few steps closer to the whole making a living thing.
