TEM100: A thought about each interview from the first 100 episodes of The Entrepreneurial Musician

TEM made it to 100 episodes with thousands of downloads in 77 countries and all 50 states!

The iTunes store is littered with podcasts that stop well short of 100 episodes and are never heard from again. The only reason I made it this far is the support of so many of you listeners. Please keep the emails, tweets, Instagram comments, Patreon money and everything else coming. I love hearing from you all. Cheers!
