Hello, welcome back to thrive x strive musician podcast. It has been a long time since our last episode, I would love to talk about what actually happened but in a different episode. But first let's enjoy the conversation and some juicy topics around musician entrepreneurship. It is very exciting that today we brought two guests on the show and we are going to talk about the upcoming ultimate musician Business Summit. It is going to take place from January 5 to seventh 2023 They will have over 30 presenters giving their presentation help musicians to build their network and music strategies identify their limiting beliefs holding them back from achieving their potentials.

And so this guy had this epiphany. He's like, Oh, maybe I shouldn't be doing this. I should focus my energies here. And he's at the beginning of building this business. It's a lot of work.
