Apple Podcasts1ZenasdHopsonUnited States5 years ago - Informative and entertaining
Great show Ryan. Liked episode 186 there. Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great book and reading through it a second time now. I’m not a musician myself but have dabbled in some minor league management and business startup for a few musician friends in the past. Looking to get back into it and I find your podcast very informative and motivating. Keep it up.
