#24: Reclaiming Creators’ Worth

Big announcement: my first book is finished!!! In this episode I share why I wrote it, to expose how the music industry has historically overleveraged and undervalued creators, and to offer practical ways artists can reclaim their worth and attract abundance.

I also discuss the early book release, the official launch before SXSW 2026, upcoming projects like a docu‑series called The True Value of Music, workshops, and how I plan to help creators streamline their careers so they can focus on making art.

Join me as I break down the problem, the path to self‑worth, and actionable steps for creators to thrive in a changing industry.
