On this week's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jong Lee, the founding member of Peach Luffe, about how he leverages the power of social media to gain loyal followers and dedicated listeners by interacting with anyone who leaves a comment or sends him direct messages. Not only does Jong understand the importance social media plays in connecting with his fan base, but he also recognizes the times we're living in when it comes to attention spans...and if you need me to tell you...they're short. Very short. Jong is playing the Spotify game as well as an indie artist I know, constantly producing and releasing music to feed the algorithm.To give you an idea of how well his method has worked - following the surprise release of his song “Tangled” on March 4th, Peach Luffe has jumped from 30,000 to 50,000 monthly Spotify listeners, while tacking on an additional 3,000 followers on instagram in the same 3-week time period to take him to over 13,000 followers...If you have music you would like us to hear, or have a great release day rollout plan you want the world to know about, send an email with your EPK and release plan to: contactreleaseday@gmail.comThank you so much for listening, and Welcome to Release Day!Theme music composed by Evan Denley.Reference Links:Peach Luffe website - https://www.peachluffe.com/Ice Walk GoFundMe - https://gofund.me/778a34f4Lennox Island - https://experiencelennoxisland.com/Indepreneur - https://indepreneur.io/podcast/IndieWeek - https://www.indieweek.com/Release Day website - https://www.releasedayseries.comRelease Day Spotify playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0GbiC5YorhQObK1n3FndhJ?si=Ls1xga-HQ2W-GeaxIuejNA"Release Day," an ongoing series where we sit down with Canadian musicians of all genres to discuss their latest releases from singles to albums, and their strategy behind releasing it to the world.https://releasedayseries.com/https://twitter.com/ReleasedaySrshttps://www.instagram.com/releaseday_series/

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 251. This is my appearance on Creative Juice, by Indepreneur, Episode66: EP66: The Shocking Case For Abolishing Copyright Laws w/ Patent Attorney Stephan Kinsella, Sep 28, 2018, with host Kyle Lemaire. We talked about a variety of matters, from the nature of property rights, Rothbard's view that all human rights are property rights, Locke's labor theory of property and the Marxian labor theory of value, the history and general nature of IP rights and why IP rights are incompatible with other property rights. This was a very fast-talking, dense episode with a lot of lecturing and talking from my end, but I think we covered a lot of ground, from the foundations of law and property rights to IP law. Their shownotes: Since its beginning, the music industry has been under heavy government regulation: copyright laws control much of the economy of the music business. Today, there are many voices on the frontline arguing for the abolishment of all intellectual property, including copyright laws... Stephan Kinsella is a Patent Attorney and advocate for IP Abolishment. On this episode of Creative Juice, Circa sits down with Stephan to discuss the little-known argument against intellectual property and how it may actually be harming independent artists and creatives.
