em2CONNECT is Emily Martin and Elizabeth McDonald. As ideators and performers, the two have sung and taught all over the world as solo opera singers and as members of the performing trio, Women on the Verge (WOV) — an international group of women dedicated to advocating for women- centered stories. em2CONNECT is also a small creative facilitation practice made up of the high- energy and ideas-driven duo raising collaboration to “the power of two”. em2CONNECT specializes in rebranding, repositioning, and promoting flexible thinking around artistic careers. Their work is centered on THE PROCESS - a collaborative support program where artists (re)define their artistic philosophy as a foundation for strategic career thinking.   I found Emily and Elizabeth's framework for helping artists to lead with their values so inspiring!  This is also something that has helped me - the more I get in touch with my vision for the oboe community, for the musical community, for my own life, the clearer the action steps seem to become.

Boundaries....popular as a topic to talk about, but how popular is it when we actively put those boundaries into place and start enforcing them? There's quite a bit of vulnerability here as well. You may remember when co-host Jen Kabbas did her solo podcast on reclaiming failure, well I had some things on my mind that just had to get out and I thought they would be valuable to share with you. They say that when you hit 40 years old you start to care less about what people think. That is somewhat true, but as any of us musicians who love being good students and people pleasers know, it's a hard thing sometimes to break out of the mindset and learning, not just learning to say NO, but learning when to say no. This episode brought to you by Music Strong's pilot program: Job Security for Musicians. We talk about this and other mindset shifts in first part of Music Strong's pilot program: Job Security for Musicians. If you're ready to live in abundance, prevent and overcome playing related injury in yourself and others and learn how to increase your strength and endurance, get the details here and join us! https://musicstrong.com/job-security-for-musicians/ Beta program is only going on for a few more weeks so get in before we go full price!

Like so many theatre musicians, Joe LaRocca's path to his first Equity national tour, the currently-traveling 50th anniversary tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, was far from linear.  At times, he had to change directions and even gamble on himself before he could even back it up by even owning the instrument he needed for the gig.  We talk about tour life for an active tour (a first for this podcast), and the steps he did to make sure he was prepared for such a high-level gig even with very little prior theatre experience! This episode is sponsored by The Ultimate Music Business Summit, an annual event going on its 2nd year on January 6-8.  This is a must-attend event for any professional musician wanting to improve their business skills!  Check out https://www.musicsummit.biz for more information.

The music industry is this huge, and very wide set of different vertical spaces. These consist of performers, composers, freelance musicians, music educators, and folks in production. But all of these various entities are all one thing, and that's all part of the music business. Even if you're an employee, you're still directly involved. The 2nd annual Ultimate Music Business Summit is an event that covers such things as your mindset, earning money, networking, and building opportunities. The speakers at this conference will also be covering such aspects as building a website, how to make YouTube work for you, audio production, studio building, along with how to get your creative project off the ground. The guests on the show, Heidi Kay Begay, Arthur Breur, and Garrett Hope provide us insight into what to expect at the upcoming Ultimate Music Business Summit conference. The event will take place over 3 days, starting January 6th 2022 and run through the 8th, with two sessions running at a time over a six to eight hour period, followed up with Q and A chat rooms.

“You know I'm a Seth Godin fan. When he talks about education he says one of the problems right now is we've been teachings students how to get the right answer. And that is the wrong way to do it. We want people who can ask the right questions. So what does that mean for music?”Dr. Garrett Hope's purpose is to use his God-given creativity and communication skills to entertain and enlighten, draw people together for a common cause, and to coach others to see new opportunities.

This day, October 12, 2021, marks the year anniversary of the podcast! It brings me such joy that this occasion can be celebrated with a guest who has had such an impact on me. Garrett Hope's work on his podcast, The Portfolio Composer Podcast, helped me realize I need to do more than create music in order to start earning a living as a composer. It is the reason why this podcast exists. I have devoured so many hours of episodes and continuously learn so much from him and the people he talks to, several of which I have had on here! As you can see, I'm completely honored to have this conversation with Garrett. We talk about many topics, including woodworking as a hobby through the quarantine, the upcoming online Garrett is starting called the Ultimate Music Business Summit (more info below), parenting and allowing children to have unsupervised free play, the value, and overall wider community reach of outsourcing, and so much more on episode 23 of the Making Noise Podcast.
