Description
Joining us in our podcast today is Michael Walker. He is the founder of Modern Musician, a successful and highly renowned musician and entrepreneur. He is a husband, father, and keyboardist for the band Paradise Fears, who made headlines years ago for a technique he started called “tour hacking.”
He spent around 10 years touring full time and during those years, their band released an album that hit number 2 on iTunes as an Alternative Rock Album. They got about 24 million streams on Spotify and toured around the world, playing music full-time, independently without a record label. He also coached thousands of independent musicians and paved the way for them to be successful musicians.
What You’ll Learn
In this episode, Michael emphasizes the importance of being intentional with who you choose to surround yourself with. He believes that we become the 5 people we spend most of our time with so we better choose our circle carefully.
He also talked about the importance of believing in oneself. If you have anything worthwhile that's worth achieving, it comes with first allowing yourself to believe it's possible and then taking action and becoming the person that deserves to achieve the goal.
Things We Discussed
Modern Musician - a team made up of highly-talented musicians who understand what it takes to be an independent artist in today’s industry.
