Becoming a professional musician

Great job Chris, purchased a new phone today and your 2021 podcast popped up and it was a joy to hear your voice because you speak the truth and you speak from your heart.

Very Informative Podcast

I’m not a musician but there’s so much more to learn about marketing, promotion, branding, and a whole lot other topics. And he gets some great guests (my favorite one was when he had his wife on it). Good stuff. Highly recommend it!
