[@them.6306]

Start editing you're videos in segments so I can go to particular topics in your conversation. Luv the info!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MollyTheRockz]

[@maronsmith]

I think it would be dope if y'all did a breakdown on how y'all would spend 2k - 3k etc if y'all were the artists

[@maronsmith]

maybe even 1500

[@FynePr1ntWilliamsMUS1C]

[@richvysion6130]

YES!! that one was different but very profound!

[@Airic]

this was a great convo...much needed for the culture to hear, and confirmed a bunch of thoughts I already been pondering on like the concept of every fan having their unique community with a lesser known artist... the superstar era is dead, local cliques lead by artists with vertical integration is the new wave 🔥🍻

[@prod.chillmil]

Take a shot every time you hear the word content

[@BrandmanNetwork]

🤣

[@caleb7775]

i tell artists to literally get off the internet all the time 🤷🏽‍♂️ great pod as always yall ‼️‼️

[@willclark1841]

It’s about being private but publicly marketed and let them only come by the content love this one great job LIKE ALWAYS

[@WashingtonAli1]

[@KrockTheIndigo]

220 million is realistic for a country artist. These companies are majorly VC firms and angel investors. They understand the profits are almost guarantied.

[@darkskinwhite]

if everyone likes their own artists that hardly anyone knows than thatll be the death of the "classic"

[@turnitintomore777]

What social media did JR mention thats new?

[@kabooyouhellarandom]

22:23 the word Jr is looking 4 is possibly "viable"

[@fredybony2336]

Hello guys, I was wondering if anyone watching this podcast lives in Europe…I think it would be amazing if independent entrepreneurs music artists could meet….I am in Czech Republic

[@darkskinwhite]

I think the word he was looking for was potent (22:30)

[@damijai7862]

I'm one of those 38 mill on spotify with less than 10 monthly listeners 😂😂

[@RahVice]

Bruh is this the sweater?

[@BrandmanNetwork]

Yes, yea it is

[@marcelmarshall4240]

The pay what you want has been done by many artists. These things are for people who do not make HITS. This is not sustainable. At all. It’s just short-term hustles that take immense effort..and the return..even if it is 150k…how long can that last? It won’t.

[@tariontalbott]

The diddler

[@kabooyouhellarandom]

This was one of da best interviews in my opinion pure 🪙 gold

[@rianwyld]

Is the course coming back? 🥲
