Summary

How can you transform your passions into a business that lets you work from anywhere? How can you take a traditionally location-dependent business on the road? Adrian "Ady" Parzentny has been a traveling musician for 20+ years and a mixing engineer/music producer since 2017. He works with world-class artists through his mobile recording business, Hit The Road Music Studio. He has been living on the road for 13 years, spending time in Albania, Georgia, Turkey, Armenia, and Greece, among other countries. Adrian shares his journey and best lessons on how he combined his passion for music with his love for travel to create a business around his lifestyle. You'll hear about the positives and negatives of passion mashin' and how he balances traveling the world, supporting local artists with free records, and paid client projects to make his lifestyle sustainable. You'll gain insights into carving your own unique path and deviating from the norm, embracing limitations and finding creative solutions, leveraging your business to connect with local cultures, and valuing your worth as a creative. What passions do you want to build a business around? I'd love to hear about them, and I hope you'll share them by sending me an audio message.
