Every year thousands of talented people take the leap of faith into the music business. What makes some of them millionaires, while some go down in flames? Hit maker Joe Johnston shares his decades of experience on how to succeed and how to fail. It's part practical advice about the softer side, the psychology, and the emotional roller coaster of the business. The how-to of relating to peers, decision-makers, and newcomers.
