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.

#162: Musicians Have the Blueprint to End Poverty 0
Jan 11, 2022

Musicians have the blueprint to end poverty. This episode is inspired from a talk I did for my final lecture I did for an Entertainment Finance course. It was part of a four week financial freedom series where students learned about the different economic schools, income producing assets, how to analyze stocks, Web 3.0, and finished with the musicians business blueprint. I believe the model that musicians, and really most of the music industry operate in, is a map on how we can build up the middle class, income class, and work towards ending poverty in America. This talk focuses on happiness, ownership, and education. I hope you enjoy!
