A podcast covering all things related to music production: from the first note to the last fan and everything in between.

Not your typical “how-to” podcast: For a new listeners, each episode is a live business meeting. We are figuring out how to build a music production company as we go and listeners can come along for the ride.

Every podcast is a business meeting, every business meeting is a podcast. This podcast is (always) candid.

In this episode we discuss:

Dan pops on with a $6-million-man sound. Inadvertently.

Dan has two new additions to his family: a dog and a bass guitar. Both brown.

We spend a lot of time discussing the nature of the Sunburst finish on his bass.

We want to feature Nikki Payne at https://www.thelifepa.co.uk/ for this podcast because she did a lot of great work for us to recently. And she offers the first session for free so get out there and hire Nikki.

Here’s a fairly in-depth comparison article which would be good to read before making a choice:

https://www.mamboserver.com/bluehost-vs-squarespace/

Nikki did a great job breaking down which one was better and even recommended to us that we go with Bluehost for our purposes and we went with her decision and, in the end, we did choose choose Bluehost.

We very briefly go over some of the details of why Bluehost is better for our purposes but will just reference that article and let you do your own research. And, we certainly are not going to just list all the pros and cons here in the show notes.

I make a confession that I was having a personal block with this decision in choosing a hosting service for our website. I think it’s probably very common that, when you’re building a business, certain decisions can seem hard even if they’re really not and I think that was the case here. Of course, some decisions are actually hard. Maybe this on was?!?! So, I was having a block. To get through the block we decided to just farm out the decision making process and spend a nominal amount of money to get through it (which probably would’ve been maybe $30 bucks or so for an hours worth of work if we hadn’t got it for free due to the promotion).

We pretty much had only two tasks to get through for this particular episode. The first task was to choose the hosting service which we did and it was Bluehost.

We also had a plan to discuss the vision statement and the mission statement for the company.

The vision statement is supposed to be a very broad and abstract sort of conceptual motivation for the podcast.

The mission statement is different. Mission statement is something that would be emblazoned in a big plaque or a big banner at the entrance of our office if we ever have one. Or, it would go on the wall in a big poster underneath our logo. It would be on the first page of our annual report for shareholders. Stuff like that.

Vision Statement: Tapping the unlimited creative potential of the human mind!

Mission Statement: To create constantly, to foster individuality, to entertain, to connect and inspire.

So that’s what we settled on. They have the data but perhaps lack the poetry.

Just a little reminder that this podcast is not about starting a podcast. It’s just that the purpose of the show is to show the process (from beginning to end with no filter) and since we decided to have our public facing business media be in Podcast form that the actual creation of the podcast would also be a significant topic of the podcast at least in the beginning.

Thanks, as always to Colin Gray of the The Podcast Host, for his instruction.
