30min of ads, small talk, self-promotion, fb group reviewing, followed by 20 minutes of solid but not mind blowing advice :(

The CLIMB is much more than a podcast but rather a community of like minded and musically passion driven people. The content is spot on with real life applications presented in a conversational manner between two friends sitting at a table grabbing lunch. I always learn something and find...Read full review »

I listen to several songwriting podcasts. Many of them interview artists and songwriters and they are very valuable in that there is usually a nugget or value bomb coming...you just have to wait for it. With The C.L.I.M.B, class is ALWAYS in session from the word “Go”! There is no waiting and the...Read full review »

A podcast that offers up a boatload of information without wasting my time with lots of irrelevant conversation and insipid banter. Glad to have found it - I will be recommending to all my songwriter friends.

For me, every episode of The CLIMB podcast always delivers that “wow, I didn’t know that” moment. More often than not there are MORE than one of those single moments, and that’s why it’s become a part of my normal routine. Johnny and Brent actively engage questions/comments from their listeners...Read full review »

Well, I listen to several podcasts regularly and have listened to several more. The CLIMB has, hands down, the worst audio I’ve heard on a podcast. -both host’s voices sound like they’re in the bathroom (use some basic, inexpensive acoustic treatment, yo) -all the audio is hyper,...Read full review »

This business is a grind. Sometimes you get to float on cloud nine just to spend the next few weeks grinding through hell for the next great moment and to keep the dream alive. When I’m having a hard time (or on cloud nine) I listen to you guys and I always get a boost of what I need to keep...Read full review »

I am a failed musician (back from the 80s, yes I'm old...) and was curious how one makes it in the music business today.

J and B have completely shifted my worldview on the music industry and injected a new sense of hope and excitement about my career as a singer and songwriter. I value this podcast more than my MBA and undergrad in marketing.

In an often dysfunctional world of so-called songwriter “advice”, Johnny and Brent give tips and fun stories that helps me improve my craft. The only reason I’m not giving them 6 stars is because I haven’t gotten a foot rub yet.

I listen to the climb every week. You guys stretch me past my comfort zone. A few times I even got mad when it hit close to home and shut you off, but I always come back, because I know the truth when I hear it. Bad habits, self doubt, and amateur tactics die hard.
