    For this week's episode I am joined by singer-songwriter and actress Ava Delaney! We discuss networking, Ava's upcoming album Everything, balancing multiple creative pursuits, and more. Ava and I also talk a little about her experience with sync placement. For those who don't know, sync has to do with getting your music licensed for placement in movies, tv shows, and ads. It is a great way for artists to earn money from their music.
