Managemental Podcast With Blasko And Mike Mowery

In this week’s episode Blasko and Mike take on questions from listener and aspiring manager, Zach. His letter reads:   I understand there are "friend managers" that take on the title early in a band's career who are only in it to hopefully ride the coattails of their creative buddies' success...and not really deserving, nor qualified to take on the work and responsibility that comes with being a good artist manager as you've outlined in previous episodes.   I am referencing the up and coming artist manager who is in the trenches daily, fighting the good fight to break their client and handling all business aspects of their career as a champion of their music...The artist manager who is working to CREATE opportunities as well as manage them.   With that in mind, the band that I am working with has been approached multiple times in recent weeks by an independent manager as well as an established management company...both of which have bigger resources and better relationships that I could never compete with.
