Feeling conflicted regarding the role of money in your musical lifestyle? Is your music income not booming in tune with current music industry headlines?

In this episode—Part 1 of a three-part series on Money, Music & Meaning—we explore the relationship between music and money. We discover perspectives on how to approach your musical lifestyle and lay the foundations for clarifying your underlying music motivation and creating a “music career investment” portfolio.

I’m Dave Goodrich, a performing singer/songwriter/producer, and personal music coach. My life is an adventure in song and sound, and I am excited to share what I collect along the way. From the beginning, I’ve always had a deep love for music, and I‘ve spent my life creating and perfecting my lifestyle to surround it.

Join me as we discover new ways to live a richer, more satisfying lifestyle in music.

Together we can take your musical lifestyle to the next level!

Let’s go…where music is life!
