My background:I became a professional musician at 18 years old and spend the next 6 years touring and making music for Tooth and Nail/EMI Records. 

It's free to listen to a podcast on youtube instead of music in the car.

I bumped into my deal partner by inviting him to a music festival I was going to attend.

I advise you to listen to that music before you do any deal...

@Santiago Araujo Hey Santi,What kind of music do you play?

In the Gulch and Music Row areas,  4.5% to 5.0% cap is the norm.  

I can only speak on mentoring from my perspective as a mentor in my first career field of music and education.Mentoring others is fun.

The market was overpriced during the tail end of that period (right before the bubble), musical chairs were played by buyers who didn't know any better, and many folks got left out when the music stopped.

When the inner workings of the economy change so rapidly, much like the game of musical chairs, there are many participants who are left without a chair when the music stops.In this new economy that we are in the midst of, which monster corporations will suffer their fate next?

I have had a wide ranging and varied musical career that has allowed me to travel extensively and to see and do a lot of very cool things.
