From string quartet to symphonies, software as a service to coaching performers on how to make a living doing what they love, today’s guest shares how he rose from relative obscurity in music school to the thriving business he has today.
Jared Judge has had a diverse career in Music and Technology. Having two degrees in music, he served as an elementary and high school band director and ran a non-profit opera house.
