The Musician's Guide To Being Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise

“Your website is your business card to the world.”

We promise that whoever you are, wherever you are in your career, and whatever you do, you’re in the market for a website. Websites let us tell people who we are, what we do, and how to get in touch with us, and we have full control over how they see this content. This episode, we’re learning about website creation from a non-musician’s perspective to shed some insight into what to include in your website, how to cater your website to your audience, and the importance of having a multi-faceted platform for your brand.

Having your website be professional and sophisticated is important. You want people to hire you. One crucial thing to remember with any aspect of your brand, though, is that you’re not just a musician - you’re human, too! Include some candid photos, and some information about what else you do beyond the music industry at the end of your bio. We want to be able to see your personality shine through so we can get to know who you really are.

With that, your photography sets the tone for your website. Collaborate with a photographer you admire, tell them your vision, and work together to create it (that's what we did!). Then take your next step into creating a platform for your particular audience, and let your true self come through.

Episode 117: Relationship Reflections with Nick Laufer

“The more that we have gotten to know ourselves as individuals, and been more prepared and equipped and wise, I think that has made our partnership so much better.”

This week marks the 4 year anniversary of host Karen Cubides and podcast favorite Nick Laufer! In this episode, the life & business partners sit down to talk about lessons learned, from self discovery to finances to health:

Self discovery: “Know what you want as an individual before you tend to the needs of others.” Advocate for yourself first!
Finances: “Manage what you have instead of always wanting more or feeling like it isn’t enough.” Financial literacy and communication is a must; there needs to be mutual understanding and agreement.
Health: “I want to have the energy to support you in the ways you need to be supported.”

Developing vulnerability and exercising gratitude are key components to an authentic and supportive relationship. Learning and growing together is a beautiful thing, even when things become difficult.
“Because we do things big, we do things the hard way. We’ve done it the hardest way, and we still did it. If there’s anything to help motivate anybody out there, you can probably figure it out smarter and faster and better than we did.”
