What is the Scaling Artist-Led Ventures in the Modern course about?

You're building something real: growing monthly listeners, booking bigger shows, and cultivating a loyal audience. But the business side, revenue diversification, team alignment, brand licensing, touring efficiency, remains reactive and time-intensive. You're leading creatively, but the infrastructure isn’t catching up. That gap creates friction: missed monetization windows, inconsistent team communication, and creative energy spent on operational fires. You don’t want to 'sell.
