36. John Lee Dumas- "Rockstar" of the podcasting world!

Author: Inspiring interviews with successful music industry experts October 13, 2014 Duration: 28:29

My guest today is Mr. John Lee Dumas.

John is an American entrepreneur who produces a daily podcast- That’s right- 7 days a week 365 days per year!

His show is called Entrepreneur on Fire or EOFire and John interviews successful entrepreneurs from all walks of life! 

This interview really had me pumped because John is such a successful entrepreneur. He has an amazing work ethic, he produces awesome quality content, and he is continually and enthusiastically chasing his passions- all of the attributes anyone would require when trying to succeed in the brutally competitive world that is the music industry. 

John is also making a six figure income every month! So I strongly suggest you go and check out one of his shows at eofire.com-  they’re always interesting and informative and full of value. 

So this episode of Music Business Facts is definitely about the Business!

I thought it would be interesting to hear how such a successful business mind would approach a career in the music industry.

Hope you enjoy the interview as it’s jam packed full of what John would call “value bombs”!

Enjoy
