104. Matt Rogers - Chief Operating Officer at UNIFIED

Author: Inspiring interviews with successful music industry experts September 22, 2017 Duration: 50:02

You know, one of the many things that I absolutely love about podcasting as a medium is it's ability, not only to network and connect with people on what is often a much deeper level, but also during that connection, the podcast format allows my guests to really dive deeper into their wealth of experiences, opinions, wisdom and knowledge. That's what this podcast is all about people! To enable in-depth practical learning, for both myself and for you, and to get educated about the music business from some of the smartest minds and heaviest hitters in the industry.

I think today's episode of Music Business Facts really highlights all of that with my interview with Matt Rogers- The Chief Operating Officer From The UNIFIED Music Group.

Now, if you've never heard of Matt, as I mentioned he's The COO of UNIFIED. I found Matt to be a really cool guy, a really smart guy, (he's also a music lawyer), humble and welcoming. In this conversation he digs deep into some really interesting and important topics, including the importance of protecting the value of copyright and getting legislators on side to protect the industry.

 


Rodney Holder sits down with a different guest each week for conversations that cut through the noise of the music industry. Music Business Facts-with Rodney Holder is built on the idea that real, sustainable careers are made from practical knowledge, not just talent. You’ll hear from established professionals-from managers and label founders to promoters and hit songwriters-who discuss the unglamorous but essential work behind the scenes. They share specific strategies for building a brand, navigating contracts, generating revenue, and creating lasting opportunities in a fast-changing field. This isn't about vague inspiration; it's a focused look at the operational truths of turning music into a business. Whether you're just starting out or looking to pivot your existing career, this podcast delivers candid advice and firsthand stories that you can apply directly to your own path. Tune in for a clear-eyed perspective on what it really takes to monetize your passion and build a professional life in music.
