Work your business (ep8)

In treating our music careers like actual businesses, I'm asking and exploring if we actually work our businesses like we'd work 'at' any other business. Are we putting the time in to see the results we say we want, beyond just creating the music and being in the studio..

Pay to Play (ep6)

You've got to pay to play, thinking songs just catch on organically and randomly go viral is dangerous, The likelihood is probably 0.000001% In this episode I explore the notion of paying to play, we have to get away from this notion of thinking just because we make a good song it'll catch on and people will embrace it.
