The Punk Rock MBA

Finn Mckenty brings his perspective from the YouTube world into a long-form audio space with The Punk Rock MBA. This isn't about business school lectures; it's a series of deep, unguarded conversations with the people who shape the sound and culture of modern music. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in a green room, where Finn's guests-musicians, critics, and industry figures-discuss the realities of their careers, the creative process, and the often-unseen mechanics of the scene. You'll hear from a wide spectrum of voices, from critics like Anthony Fantano to bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Spiritbox, and Fear Factory, as well as influential figures such as Attila's Fronz and Beartooth's Caleb Shomo. The discussions go beyond typical promotional interviews, digging into the why and how behind the music. Listening to this podcast provides a unique education in the trenches of the industry, offering stories and insights you won't find anywhere else. It's for anyone curious about the people behind the albums and the tours, and what it truly takes to build a life in music.
