In this episode we speak to Antony Bruno. Antony is the director of communications for Royalty Exchange, an online marketplace for buying and selling music royalties. Investing in music royalties used to be something that only a small number of elite labels could take part in. That is no longer the case. Thanks to new marketplaces like royalty exchange, you can now buy the royalties from artists like Drake in just a few clicks. Buyers can brag about how they own a cool asset while making serious returns on their investments. For the artists, marketplaces offer a new way to raise funds for future projects. In this discussion, we sit down with Antony to understand how their marketplace works and how it could disrupt the once closed world of music investment.

UK PRIME MINISTER CONFIRMS INTENTION TO ENABLE FULL-CAPACITY EVENTS FROM JULY 19 Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed that full-capacity events will be able to take place in England beginning July 19. On that day, a 150th anniversary concert at London's Royal Albert Hall will be one of the first full-house events. The prime minister stated that a final decision will be taken on July 12, and that limitations will be lifted one week later, as scheduled. He stated that the action follows data indicating the considerably lower Covid-19 mortality rates as a result of vaccine roll-out, with the UK having the highest per - capita immunization rate in Europe. We'll talk more about this in the Music News Power Hour live on Clubhouse and on MusicIndustryCity.com at 12 p.m. Eastern. New California Budget Includes $150M for Independent Music Venues Under the new budget provisions, around 660 venues and promoters may be eligible for financial relief. California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the state's 2021-2022 budget, which includes $150 million for independent venues and promoters, into law on June 28. Venues must have a defined performance space, mixing equipment, a PA system, and a lighting rig to be eligible. A venue must have at least two people who work as sound engineers, bookers, promoters, stage managers, ticket office managers, and/or security staff. And in music tech news… Riot Games Launches Royalty-Free Album For Streamers Riot Games, creators of League of Legends, published an album filled with lo-fi sounds on Friday, allowing gamers to stream their games while listening to music that does not infringe on copyright regulations. Sessions:Vi is a collection of 37 ambient songs created in collaboration with artists such as Chromonicci and Junior State. It is available on major streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. The album's release is in reaction to growing dissatisfaction among gamers who wish to broadcast their gameplay but can be kicked off platforms like Twitch for copyright infringement if the games contain copyrighted material. That concludes today's update. For article links, see the show notes, or go to MusicIndustryCity.com and listen to the Music News Power Hour live in Clubhouse or on the website at 12 p.m. Eastern.

For the full audio interview, transcript, show notes and more visit: https://altassetallocation.com/ Have you ever thought about investing in Music Royalties? In this interview Antony Bruno of Royalty Exchange, we discuss just that. Royalty Exchange is an online auction platform for royalty rights (primarily related to music). Specifics vary, but you're investing in future income streams derived from royalty payments. With returns around 12%, like many other Alts, this could truly be another great uncorrelated investment - people don't stop listening to music when stocks go down. Royalty Exchange is open to non-accredited investors, but you're looking at larger minimum investments (5 or 6 figures). Enjoy this conversation talking about royalties in general, royalties as investments, and finally about Royalty Exchange in general and the value they're creating. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/investinalts/support
As Matt closes the door on his CEO days with Royalty Exchange and moves into a Chairman position, he speaks with Antony about when is it the right time to step aside and let someone else take the controls. https://smith.substack.com/
How do ideas that were once unthinkable become accepted policy? In this conversation with Royalty Exchange cofounder Gary Young, we discuss the Overton window — the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time — and what it means for entrepreneurs. The concept, named after Joseph P. Overton, frames the range of policies that a politician can recommend without appearing too extreme in order to gain (or keep) public office, given the climate of public opinion at that time. The concept offers a helpful way for entrepreneurs to think about their own individual biases and the ideas that shape their daily reality. Many of these can be self-limiting, so it’s helpful to examine them. I outline four ways Overton windows change over history: 1) Crisis mover (9/11, Covid-19). 2) Gradual persuasion (same-sex marriage, decriminalizing drugs). 3) Charismatic salesman (MLK with civil rights, Ronald Reagan with taxes). 4) Provocateur (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Tucker Max, Malcolm X). Gary adds a fifth way: 5) A shift in media technology that allows people to observe variances in different people’s Overton windows (talk radio, social media). Our advice: Know what boundaries you’re operating within. Test where they are and see if they’re useful. Don’t be an agent of the Overton window, by shaming and guilting people for their thoughts and actions. Independent thinking will help get you out of an Overton window. Be an anti-agent: Speak the truth (see “The Turkey Problem” episode) and plant seeds in people’s heads. Resources “What You Can’t Say,” by Paul Graham “The Turkey Problem” (previous SmithSense episode)
Every entrepreneur needs to develop skills managing teams. Your management style will evolve over time, and you’ll find some styles work better than others depending on the environment (the nature of the industry, the makeup of the team, your own level of experience as a manager, etc.). There are two basic approaches: managing by design and managing by intervention. Managing by intervention Managing by intervention is common, especially among larger companies. This style relies on highly structured environments. It’s all about systems and structured feedback. An example is situational leadership, which we discussed in our “Wartime CEO” episode. It’s a framework to analyze an employee’s development and apply the right leadership style. I’ve also used Goals Setting & Review, a series of highly structured one-on-one meetings for goal setting. Especially for companies with inexperienced employees, these systems can accelerate the education curve and minimize failure. The downside to these systems is twofold: First, these systems are hard to implement. They require time and attention to implement, which gets exhausting over time. Second, they limit your team over time. If you take a systematic approach to hiring and managing, eventually you’ll end up with a homogenized team that’s neither resilient nor very dynamic. Managing by design On the other hand, managing by design allows your team to explore — and capitalize on — the unimagined. This style relies on people and environment, rather than systems and structured feedback. When you manage by design, you allow failure to happen in order to learn and improve. The manager’s job is to create an environment where employees might succeed, and allow things to evolve organically. This approach requires you to focus on: hiring the right people, creating the right environment, and giving the right feedback. Why managing by design Managing by design is a better fit for Royalty Exchange because we’re constantly innovating and exploring new ideas. We’re not a widget factory that runs well with a rigid structure. We’re a group of individuals who are constantly learning and adjusting. This approach requires strong, independent thinkers with innate curiosity who are willing to disagree. Great ideas come out of the creative friction that comes from employees with strong points of view disagreeing. If you thoughtfully construct an environment where failure is embraced, the results of your team can surprise you. Things happen that you couldn’t imagine before. This process also leads to a more resilient company. Giving feedback In either approach you pick, giving valuable feedback is critical to success. With management by intervention, you follow a structured process for providing constant feedback. With management by design, that process is just as important — though it looks different. With the intervention approach, feedback tends to be artificial. It’s often driven by a key performance indicator (KPI) the company decided on, which may be leading them down the wrong path. With the design approach, you provide feedback differently, looking instead for friction among your team. Evolving your style Even if you start with a structured process, that may loosen over time as you and your team gain experience. There’s a natural transition from a very tight to much looser style. At first you give employees explicit instructions of what needs to happen. Then, over time, it evolves to delegation and you become less involved in the day-to-day. You give employees more of a free rein with some structured feedback along the way. Resources: Radical Candor by Kim Scott.
My views on PR have changed as I’ve learned to use it strategically for my business. Antony Bruno, our director of communications at Royalty Exchange and my co-host on this podcast, taught me a lot about how to do it well. I first invested in PR with the goal of filling our talent pipeline. I wanted people in Colorado, where we’re based, to know what a great place Royalty Exchange is to work. Over time, as we got more and more impactful coverage—in places like CNBC, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times—I got a more complete picture of the power of PR when it’s done well. PR can be a good strategy to drive new customers to your platform, product, or service. Positive news coverage can grow your pool of candidates for recruiting and boost your team’s morale. PR also has more leverage than other activities like advertising because of the compounding effect: Press begets more press. Take a long view PR can pay huge dividends for your company—but it takes time. This is one area of your business where you have to take a long view. You’re not going to hire a PR firm and all of a sudden get rushed onto the set of CNBC. People often label a company an “overnight success,” even though the founder’s been working hard at it for years. It’s like that with PR: You need a focused effort over time to build up the credibility that allows you to get breakthrough stories. If you have a finance company, your first media coverage probably isn’t going to be in the Financial Times. It’s going to be in a trade publication or blog that covers your industry. Those smaller PR wins are important because they signal to bigger outlets that you’re credible. Know what you want to say—then listen First, you need to know what you want to say. Then, you need to listen for opportunities to tell your story. Distill your messages into three to five key messages that you want to communicate. In any opportunity that you have, you’ll look to deliver at least one of those. Then, listen to the outside world and try to connect things you’re hearing to those messages. It’s important for founders to understand they’re not talking in a vacuum. The more your story connects with the things people already are talking about, the more effective your PR will be. Many companies are understandably focused on what they’re doing in their day-to-day. You need someone who’s listening to the outside world and can figure out where your story fits in. You want to know things like where your customers “live” online and what they read. Read the publications your customers read to get a sense of what’s happening in the zeitgeist (and what your competitors are saying). For example, I’m considering investing in a business that delivers meat to homes here in Colorado. One of the strengths of the business is that it uses a very simple supply chain because the meat is grown locally. That’s a strong story for the moment because news organizations are devoting a lot of coverage to the food supply chain. Solve a reporter’s problem You have to earn the right to be covered in the press, which means solving a problem for a reporter. The reporter’s problem is that they need a story that’s useful and interesting to their readers. Know what beat a reporter covers and what type of stories interest them. You’re in a much stronger position if you can articulate why you think your story would be of interest to a reporter’s readers, based on your knowledge of their past work. That’s a better approach than blindly sending things out and hoping someone takes interest. Chum the waters. Send updates on what you’re doing on a regular basis. A reporter may take the information you give them and find a reason to include it in a story months later, maybe when they’ve picked up on a broader trend that your story falls into. Small hits can lead to homeruns Coverage in smaller, more niche outlets can be valuable on its own. At Royalty Exchange we have a catalog up for auction for a popular metal band Slipknot. Mainstream media outlets aren’t interested in this, but niche music sites that Slipknot fans follow have picked it up. We got quite a bit of coverage out of it that led to a spike in new users.. Also, articles in niche publications also get picked up by larger publications, so a PR hit can turn into a homerun. Are PR firms worth it? Like anything else, before you hire a PR firm you want to define your goals. Make it very simple: “I want to accomplish A, B, and C.” When you interview PR firms, share those goals and have them recommend a tactical plan to achieve them. A lot of PR firms tout the relationships they have with reporters. The important thing is that the firm knows which outlets cover your space and has the channels to reach them. For smaller tech firms, a large all-service firm may not be the right fit. Consider finding a boutique firm that specializes in your industry vertical. An idea of Antony’s that I like: If you have a relationship with a reporter who covers your industry, ask them for a recommendation based on their interactions with different firms. When you hire a firm, your success will depend a lot on the direction you provide to them and how well you manage the firm. Provide an overarching strategy—and then hold them accountable.

In this episode of the Music & Money Investors Group Podcast, Jeff Schneider President of Royalty Exchange talks about a unique alternate asset class: the purchase of song royalties. In this episode you’ll gain a high level understanding of what it means to invest in royalty streams, what exactly to look for when you are purchasing royalties and why an artist would sell their royalties. Jeff also talks through the way cash flows in the music industry and explains how savvy investors can take advantage of serious tax advantages by investing in royalty streams. This episode is for anyone looking to invest in alternative asset classes, not just for musicians or people who understand the music industry. Listen close as Jeff has a ton of information and wisdom to share from purchasing royalty streams to purchasing businesses! Quotable moments from this episode: “There are two different copyrights associated to every song… (it’s) important (as an) investor to understand the difference between the two. If you buy the composition copyright it doesn’t matter who sings that song; you’ll be able to earn money on it. If you buy the “master” version of the copyright then you’re only going to get that one version.” “I’m a cash flow guy… I want cash in my pocket not just assets that claim to be appreciating in value. Royalties give you that, you get paid on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. It’s 100% cash, you have direct right to it, nobody else has claim to whether you get it or not.” Resources mentioned in this episode: https://www.royaltyexchange.com We want to hear from you!

What a piece of the Merrie Melodies? How about Bette Midler? Etta James? Santana? Well, they have all been for sale. One of the goals of this podcast has been to figure out all the ways music can generate money. We know about album sales, we've talked endlessly about streaming rights, we've discussed those "big fat juicy contracts" (that don't exist anymore). But what about music futures? Ever wanted to be modern versions of Randolph and Mortimer Duke? (Go ahead look it up, I'll wait). What if you could buy the rights to a piece of music that already exists, and is already generating an income? Well, Royalty Exchange, a company based out of Denver, Colorado allows you to do just that. But buying a song is different than buying Frozen Concentrate Orange Juice futures. Music brings along its own set of regulations and mechanisms for reporting and tracking sales and distribution. The ASCAP's and BMI's of the world see to it that music is monitored and reported with the idea of eventually paying the owner any particular piece of music. So in the case of a song, past performance may be a predictor of future earnings (with, of course, all the usual caveats). It's a conversation that fascinated me from the beginning.

This week while Blasko is out, Mike is joined by Nick "Biggie" Grimaldi of Good Fight Management. Check out Biggie's roster here. Follow Biggie on Twitter/Instagram: @biggiexxx. Mike and Biggie discuss the Hypebot article "How Much Does It Cost To Tour In 2018?" by Royalty Exchange. ---- Touring is where the money is at in today's music business. But it's also where most of the expenses lie as well. Creating a realistic tour budget can help your time on the road be successful, but it's far from a guarantee that you'll end up turning a profit. The band Pomplamoose famously lost almost $12,000 on the month-long tour they wrote about in 2014. From transportation, to gear, to routing, to accommodations, to paying third parties… having a good idea how much touring costs is essential for musicians who hope to make their time out on the road worth their while. Don't let your tour turn into a money pit. Smart budgeting, and planning expenses ahead of time, can make the difference between a meaningful payday or a career-ending debacle. ---- Support The Kyle Pavone Foundation at KylePavoneFoundation.org.

One of the major themes on the podcast a few years back was the investification of various asset classes. We've seen LendingClub open up personal lending at scale to investors. Companies like Angel List and OurCrowd helped popularize investing in early stage companies by removing much of the friction in the process. Crowdfunding has made investing easier and we've seen foreign exchange, business lending, income sharing agreements, domain names all find their way to platforms. Music, too. Today's guest is PJ Miklus, the VP of investor relations at Royalty Exchange, a platform to buy and sell music rights. The massive wave of streaming services has breathed new life into the music industry and Royalty Exchange is working hard to enable investors — both accredited individuals and increasingly, professional investors — own a piece of some of music's most iconic works. More than just an ego asset, music rights provide a real return. Before we jump into the interview — If you get value out of this podcast, we'd appreciate a review wherever you get your podcasts. We do this for you, our listeners, and reviews are the fuel that make this podcast go. They really help others to discover it. Here's my interview with PJ.
“We are an online platform that connects creators with investors as a way of helping them raise money...” In episode 67, John chats with Antony Bruno from Royalty Exchange. If there are two main areas that can be difficult for songwriters to navigate and understand, it’s royalties and finances. How do you make money as a songwriter? How do you keep everything organized so that you’re actually getting paid for the songs you write? Antony has a long history in the music business and gives some insight into what Royalty Exchange does to help songwriters, and what you can do to insure you get paid for the songs you create during your career. “If the stock market crashes, the revenue created by royalties is not affected by that” Here’s a brief overview from their website: Artists turn to Royalty Exchange to raise money and take control of their financial future. We connect them with private investors through the world’s first online marketplace for buying and selling royalties. Creators love us because we give them a powerful new way to fund their career. Investors love us because we help them generate income that's hard to beat. And our commitment to transparency and honesty ensures value for all.” “You can make more money in different ways with song royalties now than you could in the past” If you’d like to learn more and potentially work with Royalty Exchange, visit their website for more information - www.royaltyexchange.com “As a creator, you need to allow yourself the ability to say NO. Having your finances in order allows you to say NO to things” Also be sure to check out John’s article below about his experience with Royalty Exchange in the early days of NCS. “There’s a misconception that a lot of the motivation to leverage or sell royalties is out of some kind of desperation” Some topics we talk about in this episode: Introduction // Antony Bruno of Royalty Exchange - 0:33 Antony Bruno’s background in the Music Industry - 3:15 What is Royalty Exchange? - 10:28 John’s Experience with Royalty Exchange - 12:15 The Role of Investors in Royalty Exchange - 15:10 Royalty Exchange’s Position in the Music Business - 23:02 Common Misconceptions around Leveraging or Selling Royalties - 27:06 Financial Freedom and Creativity - 30:35 What You Need to Work With Royalty Exchange - 35:15 Breaking Down the Process - 39:12 Wrap Up - 43:15 Read more about John’s experience with Royalty Exchange in this detailed article that he wrote for them titled, “Lessons From A Songwriter: Emotional Attachment vs. Financial Opportunity” How to get involved Join the Successful Christian Songwriters Group on Facebook and continue the discussion! https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuccessfulChristianSongwriters/ Check out all of the resources for you to become the songwriter you were meant to be at www.nashvillechristiansongwriters.com If you liked this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a quick review on iTunes.

Recently Matt launched a sister company Royalty Flow–created to purchase larger royalty streams and get more investors involved. What is the process of Royalty Flow? Investors can buy shares through a platform called Folio, those shares are then transferred to a major exchange like Nasdaq. Royalty Flow was created after being approached to buy Eminem’s royalties. Royalty Flow provides a way for a pool of investors to purchase. What are motivations for investors to buy royalties? Investors view this as a hedging strategy because it is uncorrelated to their other portfolios. In contrast, what are some motivations for selling off royalties? There are hundreds of thousands of investors that contribute to artists getting their music out there – music producers, song writers, etc., not just performers. Those contributors have royalties. Artists and their contributors see the advantages to diversification and investors see a sense of security in having a steady flow of income outside of their Wall Street portfolios.

Gary Young sees innovation as creating value for others, and does so with creating an auction system for intellectual property that creatives want to monetize.

INVESTMENT EDITION: Jeff Schneider, co-founder of http://RoyaltyExchange.com joins the show to answer Brad's curious questions about investing in artistic and music royalties as a non-correlated asset class to a risky stock market. Did you know that you could buy the rights to popular songs and earn royalty rights just like the artists do? I heard of this but didn't know enough about it and had more questions than answers. So I did what I do... I invited one of the leaders of the Royalty Exchange to explain how the music industry works on both sides and how smart investors can potentially capitalize on this. Very interesting episode!
Whenever an artist, like a musician, creates a work, they create a valuable asset with an income stream called a royalty. Royalties can be bought and sold, and are a unique investment.

And today's guest is Jeffrey Schneider, president of Royalty Exchange. Investors have discovered what great assets royalty producing intellectual property like music can be. And they come to Royalty Exchange to buy those assets. Listen to the full episode on Capitalism.com for details on how investors purchase royalties from artists and the benefits of these investments, as well as the different types of assets available.
