Description

How do you go from growing up on a farm to singing with Sonny and Cher to becoming a mega-agent for some of the world’s largest country music acts? On today’s episode my guest, Rod Essig, is sharing his story of how he did just that by seeing opportunities… and going for them.

 

In today’s episode we’re exploring:

  • Rod’s experience being drafted into the military and how he got to sing with Sonny and Cher
  • How he signed and built relationships with artists such as Taylor Swift and Jim Croce
  • The way Rod determines who he works with
  • Where his positivity comes from, and the message from his dad that has stuck with him for years helping him stay upbeat
  • How live music is evolving in the time of COVID
  • And more!
