TEM70: It's all about your pitch (TEM Short)

This TEM Short is in response to my interview with Seth Hanes, author of "Break Into the Scene: A Musicians Guide to Making Connections, Creating Opportunities, and Launching a Career", in Episode 69.

I discuss how Seth gave the perfect pitch to an influencer in the music business which led to a job and helped to launch the most current phase of his career.
