The news media is quick to show us the bright lights, paparazzi and massive fan following that many recording artists & some entrepreneurs enjoy. The messaging is…if you have the dream, fame will quickly follow and along with it, the benefits of notoriety, influence and financial stability. However, there is more to the story if you are positioning yourself to become an entrepreneur or go into the music industry. On today’s show all the way from Ireland we have International recording artist Maread Healy joining us to offer her perspectives on the music business and how to navigate a path to success.
