Today I have Ariel Hyatt on the show and we are covering everything from social media and crowd funding, to what it takes to rise above the noise in today's new music industry. I always enjoy speaking with Ariel as she is a wealth of knowledge and is always happy to share her insights!
I find it especially cool that Ariel is currently carrying out her own crowdfunding campaign and by doing so is practicing what she preaches! For more information visit the site: Rocket Hub
