In this episode, Jared reflects on the quote “Wealth Denotes Speed” and how it radically shifted his approach to building a thriving music career. He shares the exact progression of how he raised his solo act rates—from $495 to $1,500+—and what that meant in terms of income, lifestyle, and gig volume. You’ll learn why your prices should start as “WAGs” (wild-ass guesses), how to tell when it’s time to raise your rates, and why understanding basic math could be the difference between gigging burnout and a six-figure music career. If you’ve ever wondered how to work less and earn more from your music, this is the blueprint.
