In this honest and eye-opening episode, John and Trent pull back the curtain on one of the most challenging parts of working in the music industry—dealing with difficult artists and strained client relationships.

Whether you’re an engineer, producer, or artist, this episode is packed with practical wisdom on setting boundaries, managing revisions, guiding creative direction, protecting your time, and identifying when a collaboration simply isn’t the right fit. A must-listen for anyone building a sustainable career in music.
