Purpose helps us stay consistent, connected, and on track | Todd McCarty

About this Episode: As we evolve, our values and goals change. Therefore, it's important to have a purpose to help us stay consistent, connected, and on track. Purpose is what guides us to make good decisions. When we make lots of good decisions, they add up and lead to impact. Thus, we provide value to ourselves, others, and the communities in which we're a part of. About the Guest: Raised in the suburbs of Washington DC on a steady diet of 80’s hardcore punk, Todd McCarty is a music industry vet currently living in Japan with his wife and daughter. He credits driving a cab with getting his music business career off the ground. In 1998 while listening to music between fares, he plotted his future one cab driver confessional at a time. He’s been a drummer, a tour manager, label executive, and a VP of Sales for major label Sony Music. While serving as GM and head of sales at Fearless Records for 13 years, he was awarded several platinum and gold sales awards. Todd released over 200 cover songs on the “Punk Goes” compilation which has been streamed over a billion times. Recently, he started Band Builder Academy - the premiere online academy for independent musicians - where he shares his artist development process and teaches musicians to build their band’s from opening act to headlining act. Todd is a lifelong music industry veteran and has been active since the age of 15 - first as a drummer, then as a tour manager, and then a label executive. His other interests include baseball, travel (visited all 50 states and over 20 countries), and studied in Russia and traveled across the country on the Trans Siberian Railroad.
