S2E2: Andrew Belinsky // Belove Benefits

We ended up bumping into each other again as we were grabbing a table, and he simply asked, “Are you guys local?” Looking at each other, we realized, “Oh, we actually are now!” So we answered, “yes.” That led to questions like, “What do you do?,” etc, and since we are incapable typical small talk a lot came out in that conversation, and I’m so glad it did. Because now Andrew is quickly becoming a very cool friend here in a very cool town.</p><p>Belove Benefits is Andrew’s newest venture, trading the desktop grind of content creation (one I know all too well!) for the irreplaceable, human-to-human magic of in-person gathering spaces where music is a central feature. Andrew possesses a rare combination of abilities and attributes which allow him to lead a room through music in an interactive way that awakens Spirit in the hearts of the “Beloved” who gather together (Prince would be proud). The magnetic, energetic, positive, and compassionate presence he brings to a stage—and more importantly, to a room—position him uniquely to direct events like fundraisers and benefits where the power of music only quickens the effect.</p><p>If you’re a nonprofit or a business interested in using the tribal power (the good kind!) of collective music for your next benefit, with a pure hearted ring leader to raise the vibe and direct the flow of events like few people can, please reach out to Andrew Belinsky today!</p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
