Money coaching made for the realities of music life
Nearly 50% of music professionals report money-related anxiety.
In an industry responsible for such good times, our people deserve better.
Money coaching gives your crew skills to feel less stressed and more in control of their lives, so they can bring their best to every show.
Life’s Jam teaches money skills that keep music industry folks steady, even when music life is anything but.
Music industry money coaching is for:
-
Crews
Production and tour managers who want to support their crew’s financial well-being on and off the road.
-
Companies
From lighting and audio vendors to music royalties and publishing companies. This coaching helps your staff gain control of their money.
-
Creatives
Freelance engineers, event pros, and everyone in between. If you’re working gig to gig in the music industry and want more stability, Life’s Jam can help.
Tour-based money coaching
A 2-day financial coaching experience built around pre-tour rehearsals or travel days. Your band and crew get real-world money skills, in time to make the most of a consistent stretch of income.
Through group and private coaching sessions, crew members can discuss anything from debt and budgeting to taxes and savings. Less financial stress means a happier, more focused crew that’s excited to come back on the next tour.
Includes:
2 days of on-site coaching: a custom plan of individual sessions, group coaching, and mini workshops, plus full-day access to me for money questions.
Private 30-minute 1:1 sessions available on days 1 and 2 to work through any money-related issues.
Customized support and materials from tour-friendly tools for budgeting and saving to post-rehearsal follow ups that reinforce financial skills and wellness.
Optional add-on: Ongoing virtual support. Crew can access me throughout the tour for Zoom-based support.
"You brought so much hope, lift, and light to our tour. You were connecting with people and giving them power in their lives… I have such a deep sense of reverence for seeing the industry shift on such a fundamental level.”
- Evan, stage manager
