Listen/Download the Podcast conversation here: Shaine FreemanAs a musician, you've heard a whole lot of people talk about why you need to build your contact list, grow your connections with people in the music industry as well as your fan base, and why "who you know" is so important.Guess what? Who you know, though it's a big part of the growth process, is not nearly as essential as who knows you back. This art (and science) is one of the key things that created the connection between my friend Shaine Freeman and myself. His career in music, entertainment and professional sports is vast. So are his connections. But that's only a small part of what makes Shaine dynamic.This dude gets it. He gets relationships and how to build them over time. He gets marketing and growth for musicians and entrepreneurs. He gets the process of vetting the people you listen to for advice. He gets the power of reciprocity. AND he gets growth farming.This podcast episode is full of wisdom, advice, and great perspectives on what folks who do what he and I do (as podcast hosts and music industry professionals) as well as what goes through our minds when people ask certain questions. There are some things that you should be careful what you ask for with certain people. Gaining instant access to someone's contact list, particularly someone you just met, is a tale of caution.I highly recommend subscribing to Shaine's podcast The Miews. Each episode has great conversations and insights into how to build, grow, and be more successful with your music project. There are a few podcasts I'm a proponent for, and The Miews is one of them. It's connecting with podcast hosts that's one of the big secrets to getting the attention of music industry influencers. If you want insight into how to do that, contact me and we'll talk.Podcast Notes & Quotes:[Why we need to experience loss and failure]: “At the end of the day you wouldn’t be who you are if you didn’t have those (negative) experiences.”[Why growing connections and building relationships takes time & you can't shortcut it]: “This is an important step in your process to grow the relationship. You don’t get to pull the Game Genie out and advance to Level 30 in the relationship process when you’re barely on Level 1.”[Why you need to check out the people you want to connect with before you do it]: “If you don’t have the decency to go and at least see what someone’s done before you ask a question, you’re not going to get anywhere.”“How many musicians would give up their only guitar to someone they don’t know who said they needed a guitar? You probably wouldn’t. That’s how it is if you ask me ‘hey Mister, can you give me the contacts that you spent 9 or 10 years building, can I get that today, and I don’t really know you?”[On how much you need to know versus how much you actually know]: “When I was 18,19,20 years old I thought I knew everything. My father told me to get out now while I knew everything. There was a strong message behind what he was saying. You’ll go through some realizations that you don’t know everything.”There are SO many more great quotes in this podcast (essentially every time Shaine talks or answers a question) to list here.One key thing we talk about over and over again is the process of networking and building relationships with your fan base AND with music industry & media folks. We talked about some of the big things artists get wrong. If you want to change your game and get them right, pick up the manual for making that happen with the DIY Musician's Radio Handbook.
There's an ongoing term or phrase I've been using when artists talk about how they want to "know" certain people. It's one thing to know a music professional. It's another thing for them to "know you back."That phrase originally came from one of my first chats with Shaine Freeman. Shaine is a passionate and insightful music industry pro, with a lot of experience on all sides of the business. I brought him on the DIY Artist Route to talk all things relationship building, networking, reciprocity in our growth and what it means to really get our music in front of people who will help us grow it. Bring a pen and paper to this one. You'll want to implement his suggestions today to get massive transformation in your growth process.
