What does it really take to front an all-female Guns N' Roses tribute band and take it around the world? Jenna Syde — stage-named in tribute to David Bowie, lead singer and self-managed boss of Paradise Kitty — gives us the real story.

In this episode, Jenna peels back the curtain on what most people never see: the accounting, the tour logistics, the HR challenges of managing a rotating cast of five personalities across international tours, and the real cost of being the boss. She also shares the emotional high of playing to 50,000 people at the Iowa State Fair with fireworks going off — and the crushing "tour blues" of coming home to do the dishes afterward.

From Barbie and the Rockers play sets to stages in India, Australia, and the Caribbean, Jenna's story is a masterclass in hustle, heart, and knowing your worth. She's also a caregiver, nanny, and hospice worker — because yes, she really does wear all the hats.

In this episode:

• How Paradise Kitty went from a fun side project to a global touring band
• The business skills every aspiring musician needs (and nobody talks about)
• What it's like to inspire women in India to take the stage
• The pants-splitting stage disaster that taught her to always pack a spare

If you’ve ever wondered whether being a musician is “just performing,” this episode will change your mind.

Because being a rock star is a business.
