I am definitely realizing how green I am to this whole business. I am so grateful somebody is unlocking part of what is such a mystery and helping with some of the fear associated with the huge leap this is. Being 41, I know I’m late to the whole game and feel like I don’t have time for all of the mistakes. I know I will make some and learn from them, but not having to make ALL of them is awesome. Thank y’all for this. Amazing advice. I hope this podcast sticks around for a long time.

A must listen not only for Nashville songwriters, not only ALL songwriters, but for any creative that wants to find joy and thoughtfulness in their process, and to make sure they are making informed decisions about the business side of the art. I truly appreciate this.
