EP. 138: Olivia Rudensky (FANMADE) | Empowering Fans To Work In The Music Industry

Olivia Rudensky is the Co-Founder & CEO of FANMADE. She got a very early start into the music industry in a very cool way. She started by making a Miley Cirus fanpage, which ultimately led to her working directly with Miley. We talk about how being a genuine fan can make you the most qualified person to work in a role, and how we need to embrace that more in music! In addition to that, she shares a ton of actionable advice for anyone looking to get started in a career in music and the steps and lessons she personally learned.
