In this episode, Johnny and I bust a myth: that a professional songwriter’s job is writing songs.  I hate to break it to you, but writing songs is NOT a pro songwriter’s job.

So, what IS a pro songwriter’s job?  We reveal that in this episode, along with the story of how I learned this the hard way- losing a publishing deal.

If you want the world to hear your music, you wanna hear this.  The link to listen is above and below.

In this episode, Johnny and I have a great conversation with Barbara Strauss.  With absolutely no history in the music business, by sheer guts and willpower, she went from a baby artist’s babysitter to the owner of a successful music festival.

How did she pull this off?  Well… she wasn’t too proud to start at the bottom.  And she sure didn’t stay there.  You don’t have to stay there, either.
