This week we welcome Suzanne Paulinski aka the Rock/Star Advocate to the show. Suzanne started out in the music industry as an intern for Atlantic Records and college rep for WEA. She managed the national street team & mid-west retail for Astralwerks (EMI) and co-founded Mad Dragon Records as she completed her music business degree. In addition to her music business experience, Suzanne is a former paralegal with a masters in psychology. Now, with The Rock/Star Advocate, she is living out her dream of helping musicians and their teams turn their passions into careers.

- As an artist, not getting the response you want to what you’re putting out there can take it’s toll
- Mindset will help you to redefine the hustle and get to a more focused and centered place
- There are so many distractions out there – you need to learn how to drown out the noise and focus on your goals
- “Don’t compare your behind the scenes to someone else’s highlight reel”
- We talk about how constant notifications can be so disruptive and cause unnecessary anxiety
