The real deal

There’s a lot of nonsense out there, lots of ‘tips and tricks,’ lots of people just trying to sell you something that doesn’t help you. Suz is the exact opposite of that. I’m an independent musician and label owner and I was looking for ways to increase my productivity, set goals and ultimately make a living from music. I came across her podcast and found her to be honest, vulnerable and truly interested in helping artists. I’ve since taken the plunge and started paying her for consulting sessions. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. I know I have a much better grasp on the amount of time available to me, what I can achieve in that time and my overall goals.

Suz is the rockstar

Suz is vulnerable and empowering and that’s what we need in music. Sometimes we all need to take a step back and think about ourselves not just our music.

Love this!

I recently found this podcast and absolutely love it. I’ve been working in the music industry for about 20 years, and the last few years really getting to focus on my indie artist career. This podcast has great information to help with mindset and the “emotional/mental” side of what it takes to be an entrepreneur. It’s really helped me with some perspective and simple real-world advice I can implement to increase my productivity. It also reminds me that I’m not alone in these struggles.
