Having Your Best Year Ever, Despite The Worldwide Pandemic | With Jake Rye

In our latest poll, more than 65% of recording studios have seen their incomes decline in 2020 due to the pandemic. 

Instead of diving into all the (obvious) reasons why studios are struggling, we thought it would be more beneficial to interview someone who’s having their best year ever.

What separates them from those who are struggling? How have they set themselves up for success in 2020 while other studios are struggling? 

Listen now to learn how Jake has built his business from the ground up to not only survive, but thrive in this post-pandemic world. 

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • How Jake Rye grew his business to exceed previous years during the COVID-19 pandemic
  • How Jake runs safe tracking sessions during the pandemic
  • Why relationships are so important to Jake’s success
  • How Jake shaped his business by intentionally focusing on his core values
  • Why people in northern areas have to plan for S.A.D.
  • How getting out of his audio cave led to better opportunities for Jake
  • Why producers should focus on people rather than music
  • The key to success in the music industry
