Female Entrepreneur Musician with Bree Noble

Time flies when you’re having fun and here at Women of Substance Radio & Podcast, it has been a fun-filled 10 years! With this milestone, I found it appropriate to share the marketing lessons I have learned over the years. A music podcast is about sharing things with other people and gaining traction. Not starting out as a music podcast, Women of Substance has successfully morphed into one over the last 10 years. Today, I announced that Women of Substance would no longer broadcast as a radio station. Continuing as a music podcast means that we will continue to grow and people can listen whenever or where ever they want on almost any platform. Radio stations are not as easily shareable and accessible. To learn more about the Women of Substance Community, check out our website or click the button below.

Today, I offer advice for musicians as I was interviewed by one of my team members. Self confidence issues are something that plague many of artists in the back of our minds and I go in depth about how I found ways to move past these crippling mental blocks. Beth Matthew started working on my team in February of this year doing a variety of things including research, Women of Substance review board and community manager of the Female Indie Musician Community. Like myself and many other artists, Beth came into her own as an artist later on in life while raising her family. This interview is full of great advice for musicians who are dealing with fear and self confidence issues or overcoming obstacles in their music journeys.
