Absolutely Amazing Show!!!

This show has been an incredible resource and blessing to me and my career as a songwriter and vocalist. Every show touches on something different and I'm moved by the guests personal stores and testimonies of how they've gotten to where they are. Keep the shows coming guys, you're appreciated and necessary!

So much information all in one place!!

I can't believe how much USABLE information is available in one place! These podcasts really take the guessing out of an industry that seems so closed. Full Circle Academy has been so open-handed in sharing information to help others achieve their goals and find their way in the music business. I always feel inspired after listening to an episode and am grateful for the hard work that goes into it!! Thanks y'all!!
