The First Stage Show with Matt Freedman

🎙️ The First Stage Show | Where Music Meets Entrepreneurship 🎸💼

Welcome to The First Stage Show — the podcast for musician entrepreneurs, early-stage founders, and creative rebels grinding through the messy middle of building something great.

Whether you’re playing dive bars for gas money, launching your first offer, or bootstrapping your dream with nothing but belief and duct tape — this is your stage.

We talk:

• 🎤 The gigs nobody sees
• 💡 The business moves behind the music
• 🧱 The brick-by-brick grind of building as a creative founder
• 🚫 The rejections, breakdowns, and breakthroughs that shape the journey

This isn’t the highlight reel. It’s the real reel.

Every week we dive into:

• Raw stories from the road & the startup trenches
• Mindset and money talk for creative entrepreneurs
• How to go from “unknown” to undeniable
• The business of being a performer (and the performance of being in business)

If you’ve ever felt like you’re building your future on an empty stage with nobody clapping yet... this podcast is for you.

🎧 Hit play. Subscribe. And keep showing up—because your first stage is never your last.
