EP77 | Brian Hood

Producer/educator/entrepreneur Brian Hood gets real about marketing yourself as a producer and how to properly network.

You will gain an inside perspective on building a profitable studio and managing overhead expenses. In order to do both of those, you must always be learning and expanding your sphere of influence. Well honed people skills and an insatiable quest for knowledge are arguably just as important as your technical audio skills.
