I think I have gone through most music business podcasts on this platform, MIB so far has the most direct advice with clear steps to achieve it. Spend some time and go through Rick’s teachings, and trust me you will see results.

I quit law school because of Rick Barker. That's a good thing. Because it was just another Plan B that was stealing time away from my ultimate goal: making it in the music biz. Before there was an MIB podcast, I was another struggling musician, a single mom in law school full-time and 7...Read full review »

I’ve been following Rick to get the latest information on how to market online. He seems tireless in his quest to help others. I have been slower to implement his good information but I still wouldn’t have learned all I have in over a year.

Love listening and learning from Rick. Love the podcasts and info you constantly provide on all platforms for indie artists like me. Especially love the goals for 2021 to CONNECT with everyone who supports us. Voice messaging through DMs! Yes. Thank you, Rick, and looking forward to 2021.
susanerwinprowse via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/21
There are a lot of ‘experts’ out there peddling their How-To advice, but few with the proven track record and enduring enthusiasm of Rick Barker. If you’re prepared to put action behind your music career dreams in the 21st Century, he is the man to listen to. Thanks, Rick!

I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can about business in the music industry as a business student and this podcast is it. It’s the meat and potatoes that you need to understand what is going on and how to have an artist be successful. Keep on recording Rick!

Thanks for all that you do Rick and the resources you provide. Since listening we’ve bought the indie bible and have increased our trajectory in a relatively short amount of time. Thanks again, now time to get back to work.

Extremely informative. I am planning on applying quite a few of the promotion techniques Rick describes to my own band’s business promotion.
BjornLaSanche via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/20
I listen to a few of these a day since to still catch up but every new technique yields noticeable results. Once I finish with all the podcasts and book, I’ll likely be buying into Rick’s programs. Thanks for the education, Rick!
