What do you enjoy most about being in the media industry with a focus on music?
I hate to say it, but it's a perk. We get a lot of opportunities for free passes to festivals, shows, and a lot of very cool events where tech and music intertwine.
It's also the opportunity to meet, speak with, and pick the brains of my favorite artists and entrepreneurs. It's a blessing when you have a good site that these people want to be featured on.
So yeah, it's great to be able to leverage it to speak with my heroes, basically.
