I grew up in a low income farming family. Nothing was handed to me, and honestly, I wouldn't change that.
I spent half my life as a musician. Playing gigs, living it. I owned my own recording studio, ran band rehearsal rooms, and built a promotions agency booking bands and managing artists. Music taught me more about business than any classroom ever did: how to hustle, how to handle rejection, how to back yourself when nobody else will.
After music I worked blue collar on the tools. I paid for my own education and built every business I own from scratch, with my own money. Along the way I've lost millions of dollars and made more mistakes than most. I've been down and out, not knowing how I was going to pay the rent or feed my kids.
What changed my life was education, and strangers who invested in me and believed in me when they had no reason to. That's why I do this. It's about contribution and balance. Take one, give one back.
Business Beatz is me sitting down with people who've had real success and breaking it down into lessons anyone can use in their real life. No bullshit, just the facts.
