  • MORE THAN A PODCAST!

    The CLIMB is much more than a podcast but rather a community of like minded and musically passion driven people.

    The content is spot on with real life applications presented in a conversational manner between two friends sitting at a table grabbing lunch.

    I always learn something and find myself laughing at some point which keeps me engaged.

    I’m proud to be a CLIMB’er 😎

  • Class is in Session

    I listen to several songwriting podcasts. Many of them interview artists and songwriters and they are very valuable in that there is usually a nugget or value bomb coming...you just have to wait for it.

    With The C.L.I.M.B, class is ALWAYS in session from the word “Go”!

    There is no waiting and the podcast seems to be designed that way. People pay money for the lessons and information that Brent and Johnny give away. Not only for songwriters but also artists looking to get their product out there ... more
