"It's not about you all the time; it's about reading an audience." Your art isn't just something you do for fun; it's your legacy. The things we create are the things we give back to society. If we're musicians, our music has the power to inspire others. If we're entertainers, our work has the power to uplift, unite, and energize an audience. If the thing we create is community, we have the power to bring people together in new and exciting ways for important causes.In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Michael Clay, founder of Michael Clay Productions and co-founder of the Texas Music Project, to talk about the primary paradigm shift required to truly change an artist's life. They also talk about how to book gigs as a musician, what goes into a major event production, and how one's career in the music industry can change over time. Michael shares the importance of looking for needs in the industry--and explains why "playing live" is really about serving the venue, client, and audience. He also discusses his #MusicHeals project and the amazing work he's done with the Texas Music Project.

"We always want to leave people feeling hopeful."How do you stay passionate and persistent in the face of hardship? How do you keep from feeling discouraged when the universe seems to be throwing obstacle after obstacle in your path? How do you hold onto positivity when negativity seems to be everywhere?Australian natives Sheppard might have the answer.Amy, Emma, and George Sheppard were thrust into the limelight with the massive success of their single, "Geronimo," and their album, Bombs Away.  From a multiplatinum certification to a slew of awards, they were riding a tidal wave of success...and then the world shut down. In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Sheppard to talk about the personal and professional challenges that the pandemic brought to the band, and how a vital perspective shift--and a relocation to Nashville, TN--ultimately gave the siblings the light they needed to create their beautiful new album, Zora. Designed with their own persistence in mind, Zora is a collection of pop songs that speak to the resilience of the human spirit--even when adversity seemed relentless. They talk about how their spouses have encouraged their musical journey, how Nashville's music scene has welcomed them, and how excited they are to finally go back on tour, bringing the new music of which they're so proud to legions of fans.They also share more about the collaborative process that brought these new songs to light and give Journey of an Artist a special look at two tracks off the new album.

We are bringing back Rus Garofalo of Brass Taxes (where I personally do my taxes). He was a hit last year, and he's back with even more tips to help us all make this terrifying time just a little bit less scary. When it comes to taxes for creative professionals, there are so many nuisances that others don't have to deal with because it is such a volatile industry. We go into what the difficulties that come from the tax system not being designed for those in the gig economy, and answer commonly asked tax-related questions such as quarterly taxes, business write-offs, and when it's beneficial to establish an LLC or S Corp. We also talk about how we each need to find what works for us when it comes to our money, and that includes making informed decisions. So if you're stressed right now, sit back, listen in, and get your notebook ready to approach taxes from a place of empowerment. (PSST: Be sure to listen to the end for a special OBA discount!!)
