On this episode via Facebook Live, I got to talk to a former client of mine and good friend, Rick Barker, who took it to heart when I introduced him to podcasting years ago and went on his way to successes in podcasting. He is the former manager of Taylor Swift and was the social media mentor for the American Idol contestants. He speaks at music conferences and is a great digital marketer. He is an expert in his field, so brace yourself with the immensely valuable advice through this episode. Enjoy!
