Episode 147: Future Tech: What a moon base would be like

In this episode of Future Tech, I discuss what having a moon base would be like. The reason I want to talk about it is because NASA is planning to launch the Artemis Mission to the Moon and establish a base over the next couple of years, including the first woman on the moon and the first person of color on the moon. These are two exciting things and a lot of people say to me like well, why a moon base? Aren’t we supposed to be going to Mars? Well, an analogy I can compare it to would be to say It’s the same thing as learning how to ride a bicycle and drive a car. The moon is learning how to ride a bicycle and then Mars is learning how to drive a car. One is less difficult than the other. Tune in to hear my thoughts on what the moon base will be like!This episode is sponsored by the world’s first productivity shot, Magic Mind.

Episode 144: How to market music in a digital world audio

In this episode, I'm going to discuss how to market music in a digital world. Music has been around for thousands of years, and has been a way to bring people together in a unique way. It's almost like another language. Music has changed over the centuries, with the types of instruments that were used, or the way that people presented the music. Whether in an orchestra, a rock band, or just a solo artist, it has changed dramatically. The evolution from phonograph to vinyl record, cassette tapes, CDs, and ending with MP3’s dominating the market with digital streaming was inevitable. Ever since the internet was invented and the technology behind music caught up, it has caused a paradigm shift in the way people consume music, listen to music, as well as produce and promote their music. This episode is timely considering many family and friends of mine are in the midst of promoting their music. So tune in to get some tips on how to make your music stand out from the rest.
