This is only the third review I’ve ever left online, but after listening to the episode about Google reviews, I think I should do it more:-) I’ve only recently begun listening to Daniel and Nate‘s podcast, but every episode I listen to is extremely helpful and motivating. These guys are pros. They dig deep into topics that are important to all of us as Studio owners. I always come away with practical advice and steps to follow. They are personable and very smart without making you feel stupid. I really appreciate that you guys do this podcast every week and thank you so much for all the motivation and practical advice.

This podcast has completely changed the trajectory of my piano school. I often listen to episodes multiple times because I know that each time I listen, I’ll glean new info I didn’t catch the first time. I appreciate all the time and effort that goes into making this podcast!

I have learned so much about so much since starting to listen to all the back episodes! Daniel and Nate have inspired my creativity of where I want to take my studio. Now I have a lot of the “how” as well!

I run a small one teacher studio, with aspirations of running a bigger one some day. I’ve recently been prioritizing growing my family, and not my studio so much, but there are takeaways from every episode, even just for myself! I love the content and it’s very helpful for my small studio too. Here’s to growing my studio in the future!

I started listening to this podcast a few months ago, and it’s completely changed the way I view my business. The advice Daniel and Nate provide is truly invaluable, and has directly led to measurable growth in our studio. I recommend this podcast to any studio owner, no matter how long you’ve been operating!

Loved listening to interview with Alyssa O’Toole in episode 25!!! She gave so much amazing advice and the music school she built is beyond impressive!! So many great take aways from this episode!!

I’ve listened to all the episodes to help me understand how to run a new music school! We all are so lucky they are working together! Congratulations on a great podcast!

Really loving the show guy.Lots of great knowledge you guys are putting out there – much appreciated. Keep up the great work.

Great podcast on a topic that often gets ignored. Nate and Daniel have a way of being incredibly business savvy while keeping it accessible and inspiring. Their hearts are in it, which is tough to fake.

Dan and Nate - thank you. I love your podcast. You’re funny, clear, easy to listen to and easy to follow. It’s clear you love music, teaching and business and it adds up to a real philosophy. Keep it up.

While there is a lot of info out there for solo music teachers, this podcast is the first I have found specifically geared towards owners of multi-teacher schools who want to scale. They address the exact pain points I have had. It has been so helpful and I look forward to each new episode. Thank you Nate and Daniel!

Both Nate and Daniel offer amazing, practical insights that can transform anyone in our industry that is willing to listen. As someone who built a successful private studio, I felt I reached the limits of what I was able to do as a solo teacher. To have this podcast as I begin entering the world of hiring is a fantastic gift!

I am loving this new podcast. Both Nate and Daniel bring so much experience from this industry and I’m very grateful for the loads of knowledge being shared for all the music educators and school owners out there to actually making it a sustainable and profitable business.

As a Music school owner that serves over 160 families in greater Boston, I am thrilled that Daniel and Nate have offered this amazing service to our community. Addition to the fact that Daniel Patterson offers his Grow Your Music Studio course,This podcast is essential for people like me who come up with day-to-day questions about the operations of business in general. It is nice to see how the bigwigs do it and Daniel and Nate are doing a fantastic job at fostering a sense of community. Keep up the good work, Daniel Broniatowski

Many thanks and appreciation to Nate, Daniel and 7-Figure Music School for this podcast! Very refreshing and eye-opening to hear such insights and testimonies from teaching artists who have their feet on the ground, and their sights on the possible!! Crafting pedagogy and “business” sense that focuses on people power is so needed today! I really appreciate the conversational approach that asks and reflects on everyday challenges when facing music in our students’ lives, and in the careers of our teachers! Keep on keeping on!

I own a training company focused on leadership development, and a friend recommended this podcast as a way to grow our school and advance our teachers. I love how the insights, learned wisdom, and advice directly apply to my business. Great podcast!

Where had this podcast been all my life? As the owner of a music studio since 2005, I have found pearls of wisdom in every episode of this smart, insightful, and inspiring podcast. What a gift!

Really great insight into not only building a music school but really about how to build a business. I love the focus on making your employees part of a community that focuses on serving the students as well as throwing as professionals. Great stuff!

Sounds like this guy has the right priorities and is genuine to the core. l’d bet all great music teachers or music studios would be able to relate and could also learn from this cat’s passion. Glad I stumbled on this podcast.

It was clear to me from the very first episode of 7FMS that Brooklyn Music Factory founder Nate Shaw is a true artist and seeker. His discussion of “finding your why” nudged me to probe a few layers beyond my initial “why” and examine what my most basic fundamental motivation is in my own professional endeavors. I realized that for me (as with Nate), it’s connection. There are all kinds of people who can teach us about how to achieve success, but I prefer to follow a path carved out by a likable, down-to -earth, authentic guy grounded in integrity and creativity and compassion - and that’s Nate. His co-just Daniel also adds a great deal to the show by asking insightful questions and encouraging Nate to clarify comments or get more specific about particularities. The path to success they lay out is one I’ll want to walk my entire life.

Full transparency Nate Shaw is my brother. He is my younger brother in fact. So you would think I would be the one imparting wisdom down the sibling ladder. But I am always struck but how much I have learned from him. Nate has inspired me with his passion for music, business, family and community. When we were kids I remember learning how to play a few chords on the piano first and feeling pretty cool as showed my younger brother how to play boogie woogie blues in C. Then Nate decided to learn piano, went to school for it, traveled the world, and became a world class jazz pianist leaving me in the dust. Years later he decided to do the same thing with his business when he launched the Brooklyn Music Factory and grew a thriving seven figure music school in New York inspiring musical families and thousands of students over more than a decade. Though we have different businesses (mine is a small home recording studio and niche podcast) I have learned a ton from Nate over the years about how to run a business, and grow as an individual. This podcast is the culmination of Nate’s many years of learning and experience delivered to you with heart felt warmth and the desire for you to succeed in your business and in life. Nate has helped a generation of musicians grow with a deep love for music, family, and living well. And now it’s your turn to be inspired, learn, and enjoy!! Cheers, Lij Shaw RecordingStudioRockstars.com

Nate and Daniel have given music studio owners a pure gift. The delivery is honest, engaging, and so helpful. Thanks guys!

I was so excited when I heard that Nate and DP, two incredible minds in the music school space, had teamed up on this project. Their combined knowledge is invaluable and here I am getting to listen to them for free!

For over a year, I’ve been searching for a podcast that covers topics surrounding how to be the CEO of a music school and thanks to Daniel and Nate, now it exists! They dive into high level business ideas and strategies and break them down into digestible action steps that you can take to work towards building a music school that impacts the lives of others. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and expertise!
