It’s refreshing to hear such an authentic (and playful) approach to discussing a setback! Very relatable (even as Greg says, for a music ‘listener’) and fun to hear two talented artists lay their stories bare and challenge each other to embrace a lesser known path forward, excited to see where this goes!!
Apple Podcasts5NimossmUnited Kingdoma year ago - Hooked on Dropped!
Greg Holden and Matt Belmont’s dulcet vocal tones and immense experience in the music industry blend tastefully with their dry wit, endearing friendship and blunt honesty. This is a great podcast for creatives at any point in their career but also applies to a broader audience by pulling back the proverbial curtain of an industry that is notoriously tough to navigate.
