Ep 6 Warner Chappell Composer David Dykstra Talks Shop

David Dykstra is a vet in the music business. He shares about how he went from touring full time to creating a more sustainable life with sync, production, engineering and more. He knows so much about the music industry so I recommend you take out a pen and paper (assuming you're not driving or operating a jigsaw)

I used to envy people who were touring musicians, but what I didn’t know was not only is it very taxing on the body, but also not very sustainable from a business standpoint.

David talks about all of this and drops golden gems left and right for y’all to marvel on and hopefully use on your journey
