Making It with Chris G.

Chris G. has been in the Music Business since 2006 as a concert promoter, artist manager, and booking agent. “Making It” is not about being on top of the charts, winning mainstream awards, or having millions of social media followers. Though those things are nice, that’s a very small percentage of the industry. “Making It” is about having conversations with people that do what they love full time, instead of being stuck with a career they hate. Throughout his journey, Chris has met many inspiring individuals who have in his eyes “made it” and who have an abundant amount of stories and wisdom that should be shared with the world of aspiring creatives, musicians, actors, athletes, and entrepreneurs. The objective of this podcast is to educate and motivate individuals by sharing stories of people who are “making it” every day.

It's easy to create an NFT these days to sell your music, tickets to your shows, and pretty much any art or content you create. WAX is a platform with its own marketplace that makes it very easy for anybody to create and sell an NFT, and make a commission anytime that NFT is resold. In this episode, I share my thoughts on why I believe WAX Blockchain is the best platform for musicians.

How often have you gone out of your way to purchase a can of RC Cola? Not too often, eh? (unless you're one of those RC Cola fanboys)...

Now, if I were to say, "think of a brand of soda", Pepsi and Coca-Cola are likely the first to pop into your mind?

Why?

Enter the world of marketing. Yes, what you say matters. But if you're out of sight, you're out of mind. That's why today's guest has made bringing professional marketing to the liberty movement.

Chris Goyzueta (Making it with Chris G) joins the program and brings years of music industry experience to the greater liberty movement. Listen as Chris outlines why marketing matters and how libertarians can take some easy steps to be better at marketing right now.
