A Look Back (a little more than) Halfway Through the Year




The ManageMental Podcast with Blasko and Mike Mowery show

Summary: If you pay attention to the podcast space, there are a lot of podcasts who use the 4th of July weekend to take a bit of a break from producing an episode that week to recap what has occurred during the first part of the year.  We didn’t do that!  We hard charged through the holiday and still found a way to bring you an episode.  But now, as we roll into the first week of August, we want to recap the episodes we’ve done thus far.   This will allow us to reflect on and appreciate all that we’ve covered, and also allow you listeners to reflect on some of the great conversations we’ve been able to have.  As busy guys in the business, we haven’t tried to put together any particular arc or path of what we cover - in fact, Blasko does his digging and brings a topic to the table that he thinks will make for interesting conversation.  What do you think?  Has this been interesting?  Is there anything you’re dying to hear us discuss?  Any topics?  Any articles that you’re finding on blogs?  Don’t hesitate to email us at askblasko@gmail.com   Episode 1 - "Welcome to 2017 - Music Business Predictions” Episode 2 - "How to Find a Skilled, Professional Music Manager to Guide Your Career” Episode 3 - "The 40 Best Metal Albums Of 2016” Episode 4 - "Band merch 101: What to make, how to make it, how to sell it” Episode 5 - "Understanding your band as a brand” Episode 6 - "Getting Signed To A Record Label” Episode 7 - "How To Get More People To Your Shows” Episode 8 - "15 Quick Tips for Music Business Success” Episode 9 - "Not Boring Legal Advice” Episode 10 - "When is it Time for a Publicist?” Episode 11 - "How To Get The Attention of a Record Label” Episode 12 - "Music Business Myth Busters” Episode 13 - "10 Steps to a Successful Crowd Funding Campaign” Episode 14 - "Would You Pay To Meet Us?” Episode 15 - "Why A Band Agreement Is Important” Episode 16 - "Break Down the Walls” Episode 17 - "Succeeding with Cover Songs” Episode 18 - "Blasko & Mike Answer Your Questions" Episode 19 - "The Big Question (Part 1)" Episode 20 - "The Big Question (Part 2)” Episode 21 - "How To Pick A Great Band Name” Episode 22 - "Band Managers 101" Episode 23 - "Instagram Basics” Episode 24 - "Record Deal Red Flags” Episode 25 - "Can I Afford To Be In A Band?” Episode 26 - "Defining and Achieving Success” Episode 27 - "5 Ways To Kill A Music Career" Episode 28 - "5 Ways To Keep A Music Career” Episode 29 - "How Do I Become A Manager?"
