For Me, Success Means Music Being THE Job - Mental Health Check In
It's crazy to think we've been podcasting for two months already! That being said, we are finally getting around to our first mental health check in episode since that is another area we are wanting to cover on this podcast. After catching up on some current events like the CMT Music Awards and ACM Awards, we discuss where we're at and how we're feeling mentally with our own music careers. We hope fellow independent artists can find something that resonates with them and maybe validate their own feelings about their own careers a little bit.

We also take a slight detour into a guessing game related to songs in movies while talking about sync licensing, but if you can get through that, we hope you're able to learn something and maybe find new ways to earn revenue for yourself as an artist.
