Summary: A little over a year ago I attended a webinar that was hosted by Dave Kusek from the <a href="http://newartistmodel.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Artist Model</a>. In that webinar, Dave shared some of the most helpful information I have ever received. When pursuing music, one of the biggest challenges is finding out what to actually do. The options are limitless. That’s why I’m excited about today’s episode. Dave narrows down those infinite options to three, specific paths.<br> I can’t wait for you to hear the wisdom Dave brings with him in today’s podcast episode.<br> Let’s Rock!<br> In this episode, you’ll learn:<br> <br> * What the three paths in the music industry are<br> * How to decide which path is right for you<br> * Why chasing a label is useless…<br> * …Unless you have a strategy<br> * …Dave shares how to get that strategy (and how to decide if it’s right for you)<br> * How to answer big questions about your career – yourself<br> * What the “Sharing Economy” is and why it’s important<br> * How to narrow your focus when pursuing your path in music<br> <br> Useful links:<br> <br> * <a href="http://newartistmodel.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Artist Model</a> (Dave’s website)<br> * <a href="https://online.berklee.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Berklee Online</a> (Dave is the co-founder)<br> * <a href="http://amzn.to/2dJUFeW" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Future of Music</a> (Dave’s book)<br> <br> <a href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/musicianmonster/MMP024.mp3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Right-click HERE and “save-as” to download this episode to your desktop</a><br> Thanks for Listening!<br> Thanks so much for joining me again this week.
