1/ AI won’t replace artists. It’ll replace their managers.
Here’s why I built comanager.com🧵

Musicians: take notes, @officialdoechii has been promoting her project “Alligator Bites Never Heal” for 16+ weeks and the rollout has been one of our favorites of the year 🐊✨
Here’s what she did ⬇️ #musicmarketing #doechii
Same same with artists, to an extent
I’m skeptical of founders who make excuses and constantly blame a lack of funding. The obsession with fundraising often overshadows the real work of building.
Build with what you have, learn skills that get you paid, invest in yourself, focus on what you can control. If you get good at this, eventually the investors will chase you.
- I started my first startup, Sneakerplay, with $500, all we had to pay for was hosting. One of my cofounders was a developer.
- I invested $10k to launch my first app, Pocket Zoo, funded mostly by my tax return, all while keeping a day job.
- When VCs turned me down for another app, I didn’t stop. I launched a Kickstarter, secured some government funding, and funded it directly through the community.
- And with Boom, I kept my day job, working part-time before fully committing.

We launched an important new feature within @venicemusic ecosystem today! It gets us closer to our mission / vision to enable independence & entrepreneurship for musicians. Co-Manager is a specialized GPT that is trained on an artist's personalized release data + our technical domain expertise + unique insights from our team & community.
In an ideal world, we'd meet with every artist on a daily basis. So we made the next best thing to having the Venice team on call.
✨ Introducing: Co-Manager ✨

Twitter (x) friends, please think of that independent musician friend of yours (hobbyist, professional or aspiring superstar + everything in between) & share with them. If you feel so inclined, bless us with a retweet, or an upvote and a comment @ProductHunt :) producthunt.com/posts/venice…
Professional partnerships that evolve into real friendships are special. Authentic versus transactional.
Loved joining this @FuckYouMoneynow episode with @Yoh31 & @WorldWideTy two months ago, & then celebrating Ty's 40th bday this past weekend in Vegas.

“When I look around I always learn something, and that is to be yourself always. Express yourself and have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. Start from the root of your being and ask, how can I be me?” — Bruce Lee

Three weeks ago on December 31st, a beautiful hike in Malibu turned into my final run of 2023. My friends' determination to cheer me on towards this "personal best" milestone that day was like jet fuel and I surpassed 400 miles for the year (the stretch goal past 365). Above is the video / audio proof which I'll be grateful for years to come. For @photomatt’s 40th birthday, as an OG blogger, he aptly requested blog posts as gifts. Thank you for running that hike with me (in Vans!) and for the encouragement to write again.
