Kassi Ashton is the kind of artist who lights Up Every Room Like It’s Soaked in Kerosene Before most people knew her name, Kassi was offered 11 record deals, proof of the undeniable talent and star power she’s always had. In this episode, she shares how the music industry has both broken her heart and blessed her with a beautiful life and career. We talk about her love of fashion and how every look is part of her storytelling. For Kassi, style is not separate from the music. It is an extension of who she is. She also opens up about meeting her husband, the one person who was able to break through her walls. Their love story feels like pure soulmate material, and in true Kassi fashion, she even made her own wedding dress. We dive into her powerful new song, Bitches, an empowering anthem inspired by the strong women who raised her and a reminder not to take any nonsense from anybody.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari sits down with Red Leather, the anonymous artist who turned viral TikTok videos into sold-out tours around the world. Known for his signature red hat, Red Leather first started his career by busking on Hollywood Boulevard before exploding online with viral covers and original songs like “The Only Time It Rains in Hollywood.” In this episode, Red Leather breaks down how he used social media to grow his audience from scratch, why he posted 5 videos a day for 100 straight days, how smashing guitars outside Capitol Records landed him a record deal (that he turned down), and why ticket sales matter more than streams or viral moments. He also opens up about sobriety, surviving addiction, touring independently, and eventually partnering with Empire after years of doing everything DIY.Follow Red Leather:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redleather/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@redleatherCheck out Ari's Take:https://aristake.com00:04:02 - Intro00:04:36 - The Origin of Red Leather00:06:39 - Sobriety, Addiction & Artistic Vulnerability00:10:11 - Posting 5 Videos a Day for 100 Days00:14:11 - The Viral TikTok That Changed Everything00:20:00 - Smashing Guitars Outside Capitol Records00:25:12 - Why He Turned Down Major Label Deals00:33:28 - Booking Tours Through Instagram DMs00:47:23 - Virality vs Real Fans & Ticket Sales01:01:58 - What “Making It” Means TodayEdited and mixed by Ruben ZarateMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's TakeOrder the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com Hosted on Acast.

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore chat about the huge contract for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the Mariners opening day on Thursday, NBA expansion news, Randy and Cal beef squashed, betting on women's college basketball and they hurl insults at one another as Jim sits in a Safeway parking lot in Sandy, Oregon. Bill Krueger, “Old School Baseball” is back again this year talking Mariners and Bill is very bullish on this years team and feels like they are primmed to represent the American League in the World Series. They cover Brendan Donovan's impact, full year of Josh Naylor, Cal's encore, Julio starting faster and what makes them so good heading into the year. “On This Day…” A great on the track and the court celebrate birthdays! Puck wraps up with, “Hey, what the Puck!?” Civility has been lost in society (1:00) Puck and Jim (34:08) Bill Krueger (1:08:18) “On this Day…” (1:13:33) “Hey, What the Puck!?”
A record morning in the NFL wide receiver market Jackson Smith Njigba just reset the board. Seattle handed the receiver a four-year, $168.6 million extension with more than $120 million guaranteed and an average of $42.15 million per year. That is the new top of the market. The Detroit Lions feel that ripple right away. Amon Ra Saint Brown signed a four-year deal worth about $120 million with $77 million guaranteed less than two years ago. That contract now sits ninth among receivers. Timing rules this league. The salary cap climbs. Revenues climb. Prices follow. The Detroit Lions Podcast drilled into what this means in Detroit. The front office has made a habit of striking pre-market extensions with core players. That approach has saved money as the market spikes. It does not hit every time. Injuries complicate situations for players like Decker and Kirby Joseph. Still, the strategy pays off more often than not. Jameson Williams looks friendlier on the books now than it did at signing. The receiver market ran under value for years. Calvin Johnson's mega deal once overshot by a wide margin and then held the crown for a long time. Today the market has finally caught up. Sign early or pay more later. That was the theme. If you wait, the next contract at the same position sets a taller bar. That is why the Lions should move quickly on Jahmyr Gibbs. Get him done before Robinson signs and nudges the number higher. The first player to ink usually lands for a touch less. The second player copies it and adds a small bump. Wait too long and you also invite drama. Questions about value. Questions about commitment. That is noise the Lions do not need. The broader NFL lesson is simple. The cap is not going down. Neither are elite position prices. Detroit has benefited by acting before the spike. Keep doing it with the right players, at the right time. The episode also mapped out safeties across every round of the upcoming NFL draft. Safety is on the radar for the Detroit Lions at multiple points. Not a lock in the first round, but firmly in play if the board cooperates. Caleb Downs is the dream scenario at 17. If he somehow reaches that slot, he is the best player available case. The expectation, though, is that he will be gone well before the Lions are on the clock. Another first-round safety option discussed earlier makes sense too. If it is not round one, Detroit can find value later. The class offers answers on day two and day three. The board will decide, but the need and the plan are clear. Why timing matters for Detroit's core. Safety talk at pick 17 and beyond https://youtu.be/aoa8PpetwKg #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #jacksonsmithandjigba #four-year #$168.6millionextension #morethan$120millionguaranteed #averageof$42.15millionperyear #topofthemarket #amonrasaintbrown #premarketextensions #kirbyjoseph #decker #jamesonwilliams Learn more about your ad choices.

A housewife, a shovel, and a chorus you can't stop chanting—meet the story engine behind Mary Kutter's breakout. We sit down with the Broken Bow recording artist to trace the wild path from a bootlegger's legacy in “Devil's Money” to the hard truth of “Lab Coat,” and the darkly funny new single “Bed of Roses.” What emerges is a masterclass in doing the work that most people only talk about: 5 a.m. runs, 452 writing sessions in a year, and an album‑a‑day habit that sharpened her ear for iconic intros and crowd‑binding post‑chorus chants.Mary opens up about the moment a simple church‑front video sent “Devil's Money” into millions of feeds, the flood of industry DMs that followed, and how trusted mentors helped her separate real partners from fast talkers. We dig into the writing room lightning that produced “Lab Coat” in 45 minutes, why fearless lyrics about the opioid crisis resonated nationwide, and how honest storytelling can outpace any ad spend. In the studio, Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy break down the production moves—live band, tone over volume, and the “30 percent less” vocal note—that let Mary's character lead the record instead of the track.Then comes “Bed of Roses,” a country thriller with a wink, built on drums, a chant hook, and verses that talk straight. Born from criticism and refined with intent, it's the kind of song that makes you lean in and then sing along. Along the way we tackle label politics, the art of staying unwatered, building a set that breathes live, and why authenticity still slices through the algorithmic fog. If you care about country music that takes risks and pays them off, this one's for you.Hit play, then tell us the line that stuck with you. If you enjoy these deep dives into songwriting, production, and the grind behind the hits, follow the show, share with a friend, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find us.Follow Mary: www.marykutter.com______________________________________________________________________________________________SPONSORS: The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!Redefining Coworking - Exceptional Office Space for Every BusinessBook a tour today at espaces.comFrom the Patriot Mobile studios:Don't get fooled by other cellular providers pretending to share your values or have the same coverage.

Jewel went from a busking teenager living in her car to selling 30 million records worldwide—then walked away at the peak of her fame. While the world saw success, she was navigating panic attacks, trauma, and agorophobia. She realized she had broken a promise to herself made years earlier: to become a "happy, whole human—not a human full of holes." In this conversation, Jewel reveals how she built a career on her own terms—even when those terms seemed irrational to the industry—and how she continues to redesign her life today with the same commitment to peace over profit. She shares spiritual lessons she learned while growing up in rural Alaska, why she believes we should look at anxiety like we do food poisoning, and the opportunity for "breaking down" she's looking forward to next. Today, through her Inspiring Children Foundation and the Not Alone Challenge, she's helping others do the same by providing mental health tools for people who don't have access to therapy, privilege, or a safety net. Entrepreneurs will recognize familiar terrain here: risk, self-doubt, scaling what works, walking away when it doesn't, and the personal evolution required to build anything that lasts. Key Takeaways & Topics Leaving an abusive home at 15 and choosing agency over circumstance Turning down a $1M record deal to prioritize long-term well-being Why fame triggered old wounds and how she restructured her career around values The concept of "emotional inheritance" and rewiring harmful programming Anxiety as an ally: using discomfort as a decision-making barometer Making happiness measurable and non-negotiable as a founder How to walk away or redesign when your dream stops working The Inspiring Children Foundation and Not Alone Challenge: democratizing mental-health tools Creative reinvention at 51: shifting into art and entrepreneurship again The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.
