This is the FIRST co-hosted episode with my fellow podcaster, friend and business partner Olivia Mancuso.

Some of you might have seen but Olivia and I are hosting a 1 day conference and networking event later this year called "Chicago Music Nexus"

CMN was created to help fill a massive void in the US dance market where artists can learn, grow, and collaborate together in a space outside of the club or festival.

Our mission is to help artists, entrepreneurs and music business professionals elevate their brands by connecting with other like-minded individuals through engaging panels and conversations with leaders from various parts of the industry.

It's happening Saturday November 23rd at Loft Lucia and we couldn't be more excited to make it all happen.

This episode is dedicated to the background on why Olivia and I created CMN, the panels, the people, the experience and so much more.

If you're as serious as you say or think you are about building a career in the music industry, then we should see your bright smiling face in November.
