Show notes

Steve Everett has a contagious positive energy and a deep-rooted independent nature. I love how he starts this interview off with a story of personal triumph and perseverance, then goes on to extol the virtues of building a community of fans and focusing on them. Balancing business and personal endeavors can be a major challenge, but Steve does it with a natural ease.

Show notes

If you want to be inspired and challenged to be your best, surround yourself with people like Mike McKee. While many musicians might rest on their laurels once their music provides a living wage, Mike has decided to start at least two new businesses while also touring the country.

Mike is an especially good role model for musicians who love to play, but might not write music or sing. He’s a smart individual who is securing his future in the music industry through unorthodox and creative means.
