Panos Panay is the Co-President of The Recording Academy. Prior to his current role he served as the Senior Vice President for Global Strategy & Innovation at Berklee College of Music. A serial entrepreneur, he is the founder of Sonicbids; the founder of Berklee's Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship; and co-founder of the Open Music Initiative. His first book “Two Beats Ahead: What Musical Minds Teach Us About Innovation” (co-authored with IDEO partner Michael Hendrix) was selected by The Financial Times as a business book of the month in April 2021 and featured in Harvard Business Review's IdeaCast. He is one of the great minds in the music industry. 

Panos Panay and Michael Hendrix are the authors of Two Beats Ahead: What Musical Minds Teach Us About Innovation. Through conversations with artists including Pharrell, Hank Shocklee, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, and more, they explore lessons in leadership and decision making that we can all use. They should know: Panos is SVP of strategy and innovation at Berklee College of Music and Michael is global design director at IDEO. He also teaches at Berklee and makes music in his spare time (imagine having spare time). They're also founders of the Open Music Initiative which is set to change the way creators are compensated by bringing concepts from open-source software to the problem. These guys are busy and have an eye toward how creativity and technology can make things better for us all. Some of the lessons are obvious but things we never stop learning: take inspiration from everywhere, never give up. But we also talk about how to keep up with the changes. Some things get easier while others get harder. Even writing the book together gave them the opportunity to practice some of the concepts.

Nigel Dewar-Gibb, specialist media lawyer at Lewis Silkin + Rahul Rumalla, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Paperchain We hear Nigel and Rahul discussing the so called ‘Black Box’ royalties that remain unclaimed by music artists, the need to audit performing rights organisations, such as PRS for Music, PPL and BMI, and the potential for Blockchain in the music industry. They also discuss the Radiohead/Lana Del Rey copyright bust up, when is the right time for a legal scrap, the joy of buying the Ramones in four different formats and living a more minimalist life by selling everything except a back pack and guitar.

My guest today is Benji Rogers, the Founder of Pledgemusic and Co-Founder of the Dot Blockchain Music Project. Digital music is a mutation. Like a virus, it adapts, looking for new ways to be consumed, defying efforts to be fixed in some predictable context. Zeros and ones phantasmagorically appear and recede across networks, bought, sold, streamed and shared. Artists have little control over where their creations travel, how they’re used, how they are mutated by others. Rights, ownership information, sales data and payment are managed by multiple entities in the music business who often have competing agendas. Releasing music into the digital world can be a bit like putting a message in a bottle and throwing it into a vast, wild sea. So how can this all be made more transparent? How can permanance and mutability co-exist? Enter the Blockchain. The .BC Music Project is the first attempt to use Blockchain technology to create a global, decentralized database of music rights wherein a song cannot be separated from its usage rights and still be played. There’s the transparency and permanence. If you haven’t heard of Blockchain, it is basically a distributed database that maintains a continuously growing list of ordered records called blocks. So you write a song, and create a block with data about the authors, who played on it, who the publisher and record company is. Once data is entered, it cannot be altered retroactively - BUT as rights or usage rules evolve over time, the information can appended, and there’s a record of who changed it, and a validation process to make sure the changes are true. So along with permanence and truth, you get mutability. There is huge enthusiasm around .BC Music, and the project recently announced partnerships with its first industry partners: Canadian Music Rights organization SOCAN, CD Baby, MediaNet, Songtrust, and FUGA. But Benji and his partners at the Dot BC Music project are not the first people to try to fix the morass of problems in digital music. There have been many other industry initiatives going back nearly 20 years that have tried and failed to solve these issues - so in our chat, I pressed Rogers to outline exactly why Blockchain technology and his initiative are different and why they might finally be the beginning of a very bright future indeed for the music business. Benji and I sat down at Ludlow House on the Lower East Side for this chat. So pull up a chair with us and listen!

Hi Podcast Listeners! In the first segment, Ryan and Dave discuss the recent petition from over 180 superstar musicians and top music companies to have Congress get rid of the safe harbors under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. It is a complicated area of law, but it is one about which indie artists MUST be informed. The safe harbor provisions, though certainly not perfect, attempt to strike a fair balance between the rights of copyright holders and the practical reality that platforms like YouTube cannot possibly police every single video that is uploaded to its site for copyright infringement. The safe harbors only make these platforms liable for infringement if they are notified by the copyright owner (it is a little more complicated than that, but that explanation will do for now). Without the safe harbors, platforms like YouTube would cease to exist. And that would spell doom for independent artists who depend on these platforms to distribute their content to the world. Download this episode and find out more about this issue and to learn what you can do to fight back against any harmful changes in the law. In the second segment, we continue our discussion from Episode 41 of the Open Music Initiative by interviewing George Howard (@gah650), a professor of music business at the Berklee College of Music. The OMI is an initiative that, among other things, intends to help develop a process where music owners can be more easily identified and compensated for their work. The OMI's work will have significant implications for indie artists and so Professor Howard's insight is quite valuable. Plus, aside from his work in the OMI, Professor Howard is super knowledgeable and experienced about the music industry generally, and he gives from great artist advice in the interview. Check it out, and find out more about joining the Open Music Initiative by visiting open-music.org. In the final segment, Ryan and Dave talk about Apple's recent patent for an invention that can prevent iPhones from recording footage at concerts and Ryan gets super paranoid about it. They also talk about a recent article that rated their hometown of Miami the worst city to live in America. Dave agrees. Ryan gets indignant. Fun times are had all around.

Hi Podcast Listeners! If you are in the South Florida area on July 7, Books & Books in Coral Gables is going to have an author event for Ryan's Break the Business book. It will be a great chance for you to meet Ryan and Dave and find out more about the book. We'd love to see you there! In the first segment, Ryan and Dave discuss the new Open Music Initiative being created by Berklee and MIT. It's goal: to create an IMDB-type database for every piece of music so that all content creators can be efficiently identified and fairly compensated for the royalties they deserve. If done correctly, the OMI could help level the playing field for indie artists and lead to significant shifts in the music industry. But there are problems with creating such a platform. First, it will be very hard to do. Many have tried and many have failed. Second, there is a danger of this platform falling into the wrong hands and becoming a tool to help music's one percent gain even more power. How do you help bring about the best possible outcome for this innovative technology? You get informed and you fight for your rights as an indie artist. Listening to Ryan and Dave's insight is a good start. In the second segment, indie artist and hypercreator JP Kallio stops by the show. JP is one of Ryan's favorite guests to have on the Podcast. He does a lot of things right in his music career and you will learn a lot from his insight. During the interview, JP talks a lot about his daily "vlog" and how other artists can use vlogging to build their own careers and foster strong fan engagement. Check out JP's awesome music by visiting www.jpkalliomusic.com. You'll be glad you did. The man is a true artist. In the "D Block" segment, Ryan and Dave talk about Dave's recent trip to Montreal and also have a great pop culture conversation about Hollywood's "sequel fatigue" and why many recent movie sequels have failed at the box office recently.

This week we welcome Panos A. Panay and R. Michael Hendrix, the authors of the book "Two Beats Ahead" who are both leading figures in the legendary Berklee College of music. Panos Panay is the Senior Vice President, Global Strategy & Innovation at Berklee College of Music. He is credited for spotting and capitalizing early on three emerging trends in the music business: the shift to online marketing; the emergence of an “artistic middle class”; and the shift to a consumer /brand-funded music business. He was awarded the Fast Company's "Fast 50" honor, Boston Business Journal's "40 under 40" and BosInno "50 on Fire" Award for excellence in education. In June 2016, Panay co-founded the non-profit Open Music Initiative in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab and individuals including inventor Dan Harple and IDEO partner Michael Hendrix. Michael Hendrix is a Partner and the Global Design Director of IDEO, based in the Cambridge, MA studio where he practices brand strategy, creative direction, and graphic design. He has been a recognised advocate and practitioner of design thinking since co-founding Tricycle Inc., a sustainable design firm in 2002 which was purchased by Shaw Industries in 2017. Hendrix also teaches entrepreneurship at the Berklee College of Music. The episode starts off by talking about the background of the guests. It is interesting that all the guests and Graham are in different time-zones which really proves how music can spread inspiration worldwide. They also talk about the non-profit Open Music Initiative which the guests co-found together. > The objective is to create a shared open way of identifying rights-owners across the digital supply chain of music without going into a heck of a lot of details. Then Graham confesses about his love to music. He is surprised by how many musicians in their book became entrepreneurs using their creativity in other businesses too. He questions if there is natural link between writing the hit songs and being a successful entrepreneur. > It's a mindset that's already there that needs to be developed. We believe that the mindset can be unlocked really at anybody. Musicians are just the ideal situation to accelerate the development of the skills Of course, they are a lot of inspirational stories from the book and the guests experience: > ….I had interviewed Pharrell Williams. He literally opened his speech by saying 'Music is a skeleton key that opens everything up'. I liked that! The way that a musician thinks often unlocks imaginations and creativity in the way it can be expressed not just in a musical performance or a song. Graham Allcott is the founder of the time-management training company . This episode was produced by Pavel Novikov and the podcast is hosted on Podiant.
