<p>This is the FIRST co-hosted episode with my fellow podcaster, friend and business partner Olivia Mancuso.</p>
<p>Some of you might have seen but Olivia and I are hosting a 1 day conference and networking event later this year called "Chicago Music Nexus"</p>
<p>CMN was created to help fill a massive void in the US dance market where artists can learn, grow, and collaborate together in a space outside of the club or festival.</p>
<p>Our mission is to help artists, entrepreneurs and music business professionals elevate their brands by connecting with other like-minded individuals through engaging panels and conversations with leaders from various parts of the industry.</p>
<p>It's happening Saturday November 23rd at Loft Lucia and we couldn't be more excited to make it all happen.</p>
<p>This episode is dedicated to the background on why Olivia and I created CMN, the panels, the people, the experience and so much more.</p>
<p>If you're as serious as you say or think you are about building a career in the music industry, then we should see your bright smiling face in November.</p>
