Questions About Starting a Promotion and Management Company

This week Blasko and Mike take some questions about starting a promotion and management company from Tim, one of our loyal listeners that is also an aspiring manager. This is gonna be killer, so let’s get mental! I just wanted to start off by saying thank you guys for doing the podcast shows on management mental. I really do appreciate it a lot and listen to your shows more than I even listen to music. It is a really amazing show. I am planning doing a promotion and a management company.  I just wanted to pick both of your brains. If you both don't mind doing so. I understand if you both don't have time to do it, because I know you both are busy people. I would greatly appreciate it. 1.) What is the best ways to promote a shows to get the most people to show up? 2.) How do you get on the radio to help promote shows and how do you own a radio station to help promote local shows and the bands? I figured iHeartradio and sirius xm radio. Doing podcast shows could maybe help out I'm guessing so, but I'm talking about local radio stations. What is both of your thoughts on that? 3.) How do you find a good team to help the bands improve themselves? 4.) What are the best ways to manage bands and help them grow? 5.) Once you have your bands grown in to a decide size. How do you get them on bigger shows or tours? Thank you guys very much for listening to me. I am very grateful for all the help you both are doing with the podcasts. I hope to hear you more in the future. Keep it metal and thanks again.
