TEM212: The challenge of standing out online and the importance of community building: A conversation with Lance LaDuke
Lance LaDuke, my partner at Pedal Note Media, joined me as a guest speaker for one of the music business classes I teach at Shenandoah Conservatory.
On Today's Episode of The Entrepreneurial Musician:
How the world and music business might be different on the other side of this pandemic Now that Acapella App-style videos are ubiquitous, how do you stand out with recording yourself? The old performance models will come back in some form but in the meantime new models are slowly emerging While there's no rubric for you to be remarkable online it's important to remember that there's no rubric for anyone - no one knows what to do right now which is an opportunity for everyone People like us do things like this The value of building a community How to build a community while we are all apart Phish growing a community through their Dinner and a Movie events on Tuesdays during this pandemic The two things you need to get traction in the world today: excellence and authenticity Why anyone can offer a peak behind the creative curtain and monetize it if it's done right Links:

The dangers of comparison Why creativity right now is like a baton being passed around the industry Fair exchange for your art in these times Our culture belief system defines our worth through our productivity and we don't have that right now so how do we define our self-worth Why this is the most extraordinary time for our artform What role do the arts play in a pandemic and how do we get back to the reasons why we became artists in the first place The potential dangers of signaling that during times of crisis that the arts are free A process Dana takes clients through to help them figure out their worth as artists How we can help others through these extraordinary times and what the first question should be before we try Why now is definitely not the time to be sending "cold call" emails that aren't offering any value to the recipient Why now is a vital time to be building meaningful and lasting relations with customers in order to earn the right to serve them into the future Gary Vaynerchuk's 51/49 Rule The power of your brand How Dana's book was born out of a dare from Noa Kageyama Links:
