There is no shortage of talent in the music industry. There is however a lack of "inspiration" and "information". So many talented artists dream of leaving a 9-5 job in hopes of pursuing their music dreams. These Beats Ain't Free is an intuitive guide that is focused on helping producers, engineers, artists, & dreamers from all walks of life develop the tools to make their "Passion" their "Paycheck". Billboard, Stellar, & Dove Award winning Music Producer J. Rhodes crafts a personable, witty, funny, entertaining, but even more so informative listen. It's such a conversational piece that you'll be finished before you know it and will have learned and laughed your entire way through it.

Here are some testimonials from industry professionals:

"That thing that you would do for free, is that thing that you should get paid for" says Rhodes. "It takes 10,000 hours to become a master of your craft. Your average working person can spend 100,000 hours in a job that they had no passion for. In 1/10 of the time, you can be well on your way to living your dream!
