    Going Crazy with Hit Songwriter, Tim James

    Going Crazy with Hit Songwriter, Tim James

    CLIMBers, today's guest kicked things off in his songwriting career a little late in life... but he made up time quickly with a FIVE-WEEK #1! That was over twenty years ago, but he's not done yet. He is still getting cuts on the biggest names in the industry, and he has some wisdom to share with us today from his newly released autobiography. It's a lot of good stuff, so, stick around and listen up!

IMHO

The best podcast EVER!! Entertaining, full of information and sometimes I just listen to it to hear Johnny laugh! As a songwriter I try to learn from Brent as much as I can, his advice & tips & insight are solid gold. You guys rock!

Truly facinating and insightful view into the music industry

I was bought to this podcast because my daughter is an up and comming singer/songwriter. I love learning how songwriting works, and the ins and outs of social media and branding for artist in the music industry. I have a branding company here in Finland. It’s interesting to see the similarities and differences between branding in the corporate world and branding an artist.
