We discussed how to find work/life balance, how the pandemic challenged her and how she plans to expand her company. Was great to connect with her and learn her story. 

Oh boy, I was so excited to chat with the founder and CEO of Music Benefactors, Matt Lutz. Music Benefactors is “brand new company, taking a whole new approach to SEC registered crowdfunding with a sole focus on the music industry”—HOW COOL IS THAT!?

Kaleena Zanders is one of the fastest emerging stars in music—and you’ll learn why in this conversation.
