What People Say
“I was booking my own shows, writing my own songs, scheduling my own sessions, running my own campaigns, and designing my own content. I thought that was just being independent but eventually the music began to suffer. Ben helped me figure out what I actually needed to do myself vs what I could hand off. Now I spend a lot more time writing instead of posting.”
— Josh, Artist / Songwriter
“I started this company because I loved music, but somewhere along the way, that enthusiasm was lost, and despite our success, I wasn’t sure I could continue with it. Ben was a great resource in helping me rediscover the initial joy and wonder I had when I first started while also helping me accept that it’s okay if my relationship to work changes over time, too.”
— Morgan, CEO
