We really touch on being honest and upfront when working together and how it can help both the band AND the label.

Also, I'm really loving The Punk Rock MBA and their podcast with Finn McKenty. Linked below is his podcast, his youtube channel, as well as Rock Feed's youtube page. Rock Feed is a rock music news youtube channel, you should definitely check them out.
