鈥淗ow to Grow Your Music Career by Treating it as a Startup Business鈥�

Speaker: Jared Judge | 鈥淗ow to Grow Your Music Career by Treating it as a Startup Business鈥�

Growing a music career is a challenging endeavor. The traditional advice is to practice and master your art. While this creates a solid foundation, many musicians end up having to support their music with a full-time job outside of music. What if we treated a music career like a startup business and learned to market and sell our musical services? In this talk, Jared Judge shares his experience with this journey and how it enabled him and thousands of musicians to make a living doing what they love. This even is the result of collaboration between the University Innovation Fellows, the Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization, and the LEC.

Jared Judge has had a diverse career in Music and Technology, as well as being a part of the Startup Challenge. Having earned two degrees in music, he served as an elementary and high school band director and ran a non-profit opera house. As a self-proclaimed “tech geek,” he has built many websites and apps. When he launched his wedding string quartet, Dream City Strings, it immediately became the top-gigging string quartet in Milwaukee. Shortly after, he launched BookLive as a tool to automate much of the administrative work and to help other musicians run profitable live music businesses. Jared now coaches hundreds of performing groups on making a living off of music.

Well Entrepreneur – Navigating Ambiguity: Mindfulness Tools & Practices for Entrepreneurs

Navigating ambiguity is an inevitable and essential part of entrepreneurship. We bring our ideas into the world without any guarantee of what may come —聽 taking risks, pivoting, letting go of failed ideas and beginning again — putting our entrepreneurial thinking and skills to the test in a way that is both exciting and unsettling.

 

As we live into the space of the unknown, how might we equip ourselves with the necessary skills to support our resilience and well-being when everything constantly changes?

 

In this short form workshop, we will explore:

 

  • How to cultivate inner awareness of the body and mind
  • Ways to apply mindfulness and compassion to entrepreneurial thinking聽
  • Guided, experiential practice
  • Possibilities for integrating concepts in daily living, personally and professionally

Well Entrepreneur – Campus Quiet: A Mass Meditation & Relaxation

Learning how to actively relax is a practice and a skill.聽

During this session, participants will explore guided, deep relaxation 鈥� a combination of progressive muscle relaxation through gentle movement coordinated with breath, and guided awareness and imagery. This practice is designed to support the body in releasing tension while suspending the mind of thought, judgement and worry, to bring the body and mind to a state of deep rest. Consciousness and awareness are still present, and at some point participants may experience the feeling of being between sleep and wakeful states.

Benefits may include: the ability to better self regulate stress, decrease in anxiety,听 improve sleep, and improve overall feelings of physical, mental and emotional well-being.聽

Actual guided relaxation practice will last about 20 minutes. No experience necessary. Please bring your own yoga mat.

Before our time together:

  • To experience the most benefit, please arrive early or on time.
  • Please minimize distractions like your cell phone or computer notifications.
  • Practices can be done sitting in a chair or lying down on the floor with a yoga mat. For extra support and comfort, having a blanket or pillow to place under the head or knees, or over the body will optimize this experience.

51猎奇 DVC Design Entrepreneurship Showcase

Members of the 51猎奇 Design & Visual Communication program, originating from the Peck School of the Arts, are presenting the 2021 Entrepreneurship Showcase. This year's theme is "Healthy Cities"; students will design projects based on their idea of what makes a city healthy.

About the showcase and the students’ :

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Design and Visual Communication seniors embarked on a semester long challenge to develop solutions that help foster healthier cities. The goal is to use design thinking to launch products, services and initiatives that can make our cities more equitable, inclusive, sustainable, ecological, and ultimately, whole. Until we can collectively鈥攅ach and every one of us鈥攑articipate in the promise of a thriving city, we can鈥檛 call it healthy.

Starting here and working within the frameworks of community catalyzing tools, improving environments, and living well, each student applied imagination and design thinking to develop a project that addressed an identified area of need. Their work is intended to bring forth solutions to some of the many ways in which our cities fail to achieve wholeness. At the showcase, you will experience how students explored ways to make cities healthier, more inclusive, equitable and vibrant.
