Their conversation expands into the future of classical music, including audience development, music education, innovative concert formats, streaming royalties, and the growing influence of AI. They explore why artistic excellence and genuine human connection still matter more than chasing trends.

  HOW TO MAKE 1 MILLION AS A MUSICIAN WITH PAUL THE TROMBONIST

  Aug 6, 202645 min

  Paul the Trombonist shares how he broke out of the traditional freelance model and built a thriving online education business for musicians. Starting with YouTube trombone tutorials and a free album giveaway, he unintentionally built an email list that became the foundation of his business. When he later emailed that audience about a trombone method book, he earned several thousand dollars and realized the true power of direct audience connection. From there, he expanded into workshops, courses, webinars, and premium group programs for committed adult music students. Paul explains that he made his first million not through fame or a huge following, but by mastering conversations, offers, and paid advertising—converting roughly 1% of his leads into customers. He stresses that success comes from listening carefully to the market, refining offers based on feedback, and staying consistent through setbacks. His message is encouraging: musicians do not have to stay trapped in burnout and scarcity, but can build profitable businesses while continuing to make music. ✨ Connect with Paul Nowell: Instagram - @paulthetrombonist Website - paulthetrombonist.com ✨ Explore The Fearless Mastermind: Website – thefearlessartistmastermind.com Instagram – @thefearlessartistmastermind Intro, Outro music by Michelle Lynne Episode produced by phMediaStudio, LLC

  Episode #100

  Keep it 100 on the land, the sea, the sky

  Jul 30, 202636 min

  In the 100th episode of The Fearless Artist podcast, Michelle reflects on the growth of the show and the lessons she has learned. The podcast was created to offer an honest look at freelance classical music careers, challenge perfectionism and comparison, and provide musicians with advice. Michelle discovered that guests are often willing to share their knowledge and that her solo episodes, despite causing her the most anxiety, frequently connect most with listeners. Hosting has helped her become a better listener and ask deeper questions. She credits the podcast’s consistency to teamwork, accountability, simple guest outreach, and a willingness to produce a minimum viable version instead of waiting for perfection. Her first episode lasted only nine minutes, and she avoided checking statistics for six months to protect the project from self-criticism. Guests taught her valuable lessons about emotional marketing, strategic career planning, negotiation, audience data, and making concertgoers feel welcome. Michelle also learned to schedule interviews around her energy levels and stop overthinking solo recordings. Her central advice is to begin with the smallest practical step, track what works, accept early awkwardness, seek support, and make gradual improvements. Consistent action, rather than perfection, allows creative projects and careers to grow. -- The Fearless Mastermind Website - https://www.thefearlessartistmastermind.com/ The Fearless Mastermind Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefearlessartistmastermind/ -- Intro/Outro Music by Michelle Lynne ️ Produced by phMediaStudio, LLC
