Welcome back. We're running our summer podcast series called Studio Snapshots. Rather than the in-depth process-oriented interviews you're used to hearing, these rapid-fire interviews give us a glimpse into a guest's studio at a moment in time. They're part reflection, part anticipation of the future, and fully a celebration of where these teachers are today.  Today, I'm talking to Sarah Boyd.    A full transcript and resources from this episode can be found at MusicStudioStartup.com/snapshot050   MSS Entrepreneurs Hub + Mastermind MSS Studio Launch Grant Competition Music Studio Business Building 101 Business Finance for Music Teachers  

A missed co-host, a surprise stand-in, and two brothers who make skateboarding and music feel like the same sport. We sit down with Quinn (15) and Holden (11) of Johnston Brothers Music to talk about growing up around the Fernandina Beach scene, learning at Poe Pinson Skate Park, and why that first spark matters more than having the “right” gear. If you care about skate culture, youth recreation, or how kids actually get good at something, this conversation goes straight to the point: repetition, community, and the courage to look awkward while you improve. From there we dig into music: early lessons, picking up guitar and bass, getting inspired by what you can't do yet, and how theory starts to click when you stop treating it like homework. They explain writer's block in the most skater way possible, take a break and go skate, and they share how open mics at Disco Witch turned into real bookings around Jacksonville and Neptune Beach. Along the way we talk jam band energy, covers vs originals, building a catalog, and meeting their drummer through the skate park. We also get honest about the stuff that affects real life goals: homeschooling flexibility, crowded parks, Florida heat, and injuries that can change how you approach a session when you have gigs on the calendar. And yes, we vent about skate park funding getting shaky while pickleball seems to win every budget meeting. If you enjoy stories about young musicians, skateboarding progression, and building a creative life in North Florida, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review. What's the bigger teacher for you, the board or the instrument?

Hartman, Colorado, reached a point where it could no longer function as a town. Its water system was unsafe, every member of the town board had resigned, and no one remained with the authority to hold an election or sign the agreements needed to fix the water. Norm Van Eeden Petersman is joined by Joshua Hopkins, mayor of Chugwater, Wyoming, and Strong Towns executive director John Reuter to look past the political infighting and ask what happened before the final collapse. The question facing places like Hartman and Chugwater is increasingly basic: How much town can a very small community actually afford to maintain?

#1006 Can you scale a business without losing yourself in the process? In part 2 of this two-part episode, Luka Petrovic returns to dig into the systems and mindset behind growing Sydney Music Lessons beyond himself. Luka gets candid about where he thinks AI can (and can't) help — like sourcing partnership leads, but never replacing human-led recruiting or relationship-building — and lays out his framework for separating "business maintenance" tasks from true growth tasks so owners can focus on the work only they can do. He also opens up about the software stack running his marketplace, why quality always wins over speed, and the importance of protecting your health and personal life so your business doesn't collapse alongside you. Luka closes with his best advice for aspiring entrepreneurs: list out everything you're good at, because your next business idea is probably already on that list! What we discuss with Luka: + AI's limits in relationship-based business + Business maintenance vs. business growth tasks + Recruiting and vetting quality teachers + Software stack: WordPress, Xero, Ahrefs, Google Ads + Scaling without losing personal quality control + Quality over speed when growing + Protecting health and work-life balance + Diagnosing and fixing business problems + Turning personal skills into a business idea Thank you, Luka!

#1005 What if you could grow a business without ever spending a cent on ads? In this episode, we sit down with Luka Petrovic, founder of Sydney Music Lessons, who did exactly that — turning a fully-booked one-person tutoring business into a thriving two-sided marketplace connecting music students and teachers across Sydney, entirely through organic growth. Luka shares how he identified the pain points parents and students were facing, why he chose not to migrate his own students into the new business, and the "people-first" philosophy that's guided every decision since. We also dig into his approach to recruiting quality teachers, balancing growth with cash flow, and the SEO strategies (on-page, off-page, technical, and local) that built his organic traffic from scratch! What we discuss with Luka: + Turning a solo tutoring business into a marketplace + Why he didn't migrate old students to new teachers + Recruiting teachers before chasing students + The "people-first" business philosophy + Matching students and teachers by personality + How teacher pay and freedom are structured + Growing traffic with zero paid ads + The four pillars of SEO + Common SEO mistakes local businesses make Thank you, Luka!

Send us Fan MailThese married NC music teachers are making it happen! Mid 30's and maxing out Roth IRAs, two future NC pensions in their early 50's, social security in the future...they will have a combined income of 130kish in their 60's. They take advantage of their time off in the summer by running a fireworks rent for 2 weeks each summer. They hustle extremely hard for the two weeks leading up to the 4th and make TWO MONTHS worth of teacher income in those two weeks. They are Dave Ramsey inspired, but have had to work through different financial backgrounds to come together and "make it happen" on their NC teacher salaries. Be a guest on the show:https://www.financiallyindependentteachers.com/contact-8Check out our website:https://www.financiallyindependentteachers.com/Sign up for FIT coaching:https://www.financiallyindependentteachers.com/services-4

At some point in your music goals, you may want a private teacher. With so many teachers to choose from, how do you find the RIGHT one for you and your needs? In this video, I offer the idea of a menu that you can customize for yourself and use in the interview process of choosing the right teacher. Hopefully I make it clear that I myself am not the right teacher for everyone, but I am for some. Book a free trial lesson with me online for piano, music composition, or music theory.

Roadcase was back in Nashville where I interviewed @laidbackcountrypicker just before their show at The Basement last week, and I'm super excited to share this interview with you!! Dave Prince and his wife Teresa (aka Honey, in hair curlers, moo-moo and sunglasses) are the self-described Hillbilly Power Duo that make up the remarkable story behind Laid Back Country Picker. Skilled lifelong musicians, both Dave and Honey are retired school teachers from Eastern Kentucky who have successfully forged a path in the music business after 25 years as educators. Their vibe is unmistakable, and forms the enduring charm beneath the surface of these serious country rockers. Dave (with Honey, who is his curiously silent partner) talked to me about his background as he shared with me the stories that reflect a lifetime of performance both in the classroom and, most recently, on stage -- and shares with me the story of one special student of his, Tyler Childers, with whom Dave shares a special bond. This is a truly heartwarming story of reaching extraordinary success -- no matter at what point in life it may arrive.=======================================Chapters:00:00 - Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg05:41 — Opening and setup05:58 — Intro to Dave Prince and Honey06:30 — Growing up in Eastern Kentucky09:08 — Family poverty, bootlegging, and survival11:48 — Childhood freedom, family, and country life13:22 — First in the family to graduate high school and go to college15:17 — Music dreams, cover bands, and paying the bills16:35 — Moving toward original music and Luna and the Mountain Jets18:21 — Teaching career and Teacher of the Year18:50 — The teacher who changed everything20:41 — Going back to school and starting teaching22:15 — Meeting Tyler Childers in class23:18 — Playing together and Tyler covering Luna songs24:20 — Early gigs together and the Rhyming25:52 — Red Rocks and the live recording26:25 — The Laid Back Country Picker shirt and character27:33 — Luck, preparation, and opportunity29:46 — Playing a stadium show with Tyler29:46 — Recording in Nashville and Tyler's role30:14 — Pandemic changes the band setup30:59 — Honey's stage outfit and the band identity32:35 — Retirement and more time for music41:19 — What's next for Laid Back Country Picker42:30 — Midwest dates with Driving and Crying44:48 — How Australia happened by chance46:04 — Australian crowds and musical influence48:01 — “McGoffin County Cadillac” and the song that launched things49:16 — “They Only Come Around” and Eastern Kentucky history50:11 — Using LBJ archival footage in the video51:00 — Closing thoughts and Episode Wrap-up with Host Josh Rosenberg=======================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

Well, hello again! It has been a minute since we released a new episode here on the podcast. This spring, we wrapped up our second tax season with Charles Harris, and Music Studio Startup exhibited for the first time ever at the MTNA conference in Chicago. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth. It is always so fun to connect with listeners in person. And now we're back, just in time to start talking about one of my favorite things we do: the Studio Launch Grant Competition. If you're new around here, the Studio Launch Grant is designed to help new and new-ish independent music teachers launch their studios with more support, more clarity, and a little more breathing room. As in past years, this year's winner will receive a prize package of business tools, coaching, professional support, and $1,000 in seed money to help them get their studio off to a strong start. This is our fourth year hosting the competition, and applications for the 2026 Studio Launch Grant are open now. If you are a new or new-ish independent teacher, or if you know someone who is, go to musicstudiostartup.com/grant to apply or share it with a teacher who should. Applications are due June 15. Today, we're going to revisit the story of one of our past grant competition winners, Anna Showalter.   A full transcript and resources from this episode can be found at www.musicstudiostartup.com/episode180   MSS Studio Launch Grant Competition MSS Entrepreneurs Hub + Mastermind Music Studio Business Building 101 Business Finance for Music Teachers  

Alan and Steve talk with educator and mind‑shifting coach Mitch Weisburgh about how music teachers can help students—and themselves—move from limbic “survival mode” into resourceful, resilient, and collaborative mindsets. They explore how to respond when students say “I can't do this,” how to use music itself as a powerful self‑regulation tool, and how small shifts in language, silence, and curiosity can transform behavior and engagement in the music room. Mitch also shares practical strategies for navigating conflict with colleagues and administrators, advocating for music programs, and catching our own brains when they're “lying” to us.

Send us Fan MailKevin is a former Long Island music teacher AND a very high level musician himself. Having understood the classroom, the students, and the demands of teaching, he ultimately made the decision to leave the classroom and start his own business doing speaking engagements to students across the country. At one point, he went to pick up a $20 pizza, but knew he only had $17 to his name. Credit cards were maxed out, nothing in checking or savings. All of these experiences led him to where he is today as a successful speaker and businessman. Kevin talks about how to get out of debt and some interesting things to consider with the advent of AI and how it can help teachers in a variety of areas.
