    Make More Music, Money & Save Time With This Productivity Hack

    Make More Music, Money & Save Time With This Productivity Hack

    In a recent group call, Lia had some questions as to where she should focus some of her time and energy.


    As creatives, we constantly feel the need to learn something that we feel can benefit us but does it really? Is learning that one extra thing or new technique REALLY going to sky rocket your career? Maybe it will maybe it wont? It all comes down to WHAT you should be focusing on with your time and energy. as an artist.

    The Male Superhero Complex In Music w Alexandra

    The Male Superhero Complex In Music w Alexandra

    In this episode I sit down with Alexandra who unfortunately like most women in this Industry has had to "prove herself" time and time again just because of her gender.


    All this stemmed from one Facebook post and I thought this is an important topic that needs to be discussed and how the "male superhero complex" in this industry towards women is not only damaging but just outright stupid.

    Why Picking a “Niche” Is Stupid & Brilliant At The Same Time

    Why Picking a “Niche” Is Stupid & Brilliant At The Same Time

    It's going to take time before you find your "niche" in clients. The one thing that I always see a lot of freelancers do is immediately pick one area of their profession and ONLY focus on that.


    For example, someone who does Music Production but ONLY works with Trap artists. and won't work with anyone else. While yes, you found the group of people you want to work for but how many opportunities did you just miss out on by shutting everyone else out?


    I go over the "external specialist, internal generalist" approach to picking a niche.

Genuine Growth Documented!

John is easily one of the most inspiring individuals to break into the world of producing/mixing. This podcast is for anyone wanting to grow in the field of audio production yet wants to hear from someone who still very new to the industry to gauge where they are in their professional journey.

Practical, genuine, to the point :) 12345

My friend showed me this show and I instantly loved it in the first episode. I listen to podcasts that focus on self growth and learning and really anything that catches my interest, and this is right up there with those. Glad I caught this early on. Definitely check it out! Especially if you're a fan of Six Figure Home Studio!

Gabe Caraballo ,

Great insight!

I picked this show up and instantly felt drawn to it. The way he describes events and presents his idea is smooth and conversational. I never feel he’s reading off a script or performing massive editing jobs post recording. He gives an awesome amount of knowledge and really helps drive home the facts and truths that you’ve probably been avoiding/denying in your own career. I highly recommend this for anybody looking to get an honest perspective into a mans growing career and want advice on how to practically achieve his success in your own life!
