If you have been a listener to the Made It In Music Podcast for a while, maybe you've actually heard episode 1.


Our very first episode featured Seth Mosley, songwriter, producer, and owner of Full Circle Music. He started this podcast, and he hosts almost every episode.


To start our podcast off right, it made sense to have Seth share his vision for the company and talk about his experience in the music industry and why it lead him to create the Full Circle Music Academy.


At this point, that was several years ago! Episode 1 came out all the way back in late 2015, and so much has happened since then!


So, to start Season 3 off right, we thought it would be fun to revisit the very first episode, and give it a little bit of a "reboot."


One person who heard episode 1 was Logan Crockett, and having once started as just a fan of the podcast, he now leads the marketing team at Full Circle Music and is responsible for overseeing the podcast and the Full Circle Music Academy.


As Logan is now directly in charge of the podcast, it made sense to have him "re-interview" Seth for this special episode of the Made It In Music Podcast.


Now that the company has much more history under its belt, Seth shares in this episode about the process of building the Full Circle Music team.


While Seth is a songwriter and producer, and that is still where the majority of his hours fall, Seth also has a much larger group of employees that he is responsible for.


Because of this new responsibility, Seth has had to learn how to manage a company as a CEO, which he explains is a completely different skillset from writing songs or producing music. Even though the business is based on those activities, managing humans, projecting revenue, and setting the right company goals takes a completely different approach compared to making music.


Full Circle Music has had a lot of ups and downs along the way, and the company is continuing to grow and evolve.


One thing that Full Circle Music is known for is being a small, flexible, very modern music company. Full Circle has multiple arms, including Publishing, Production, Songwriting, and the Academy.


And each of these arms has multiple revenue streams.


Because Full Circle Music is small, it has the flexibility to make dramatic changes whenever necessary.
