A couple of years back, I had the privilege of reimagining The National’s “Fake Empire”. Working alongside my co-producer, Jennifer Lanchart, and in partnership with the exceptionally gifted Cliff Lin, our goal was to infuse Molly Tuttle’s outstanding rendition with even more layers, richness, and complexity.

Thank you LeAnn Bennett, Molly and Compass Records for entrusting us with this cover.

Hello everyone!

Michael Elsner & I have been working hard to plan something truly extraordinary to end this year. We are going to do something that’s never been done before in the education space…. And you’ll see why this is an extremely rare opportunity:

On December 3rd, we’re going to take you through the entire Licensing Process, in REAL TIME, for a TV Show and a Film that I am currently working on.

We’ll be joined by Sync Agent, Dan Koplowitz from Friendly Fire Licensing and Crucial Music’s Paul Santos.

You’ll have a front row seat as a scene is viewed, a brief is created, catalogs are searched, playlists are created & pitched, a song is chosen, a quote request is submitted, the terms and fees are agreed upon, and the license is secured!

However, to create this opportunity for you to get this level of behind the scenes access, we had to get exclusive permission from two production companies to share this highly proprietary, private and valuable information with you.

Tickets for this workshop are $247, and will only be available to a limited number of attendees.

Also, as per our agreement with these production companies, all attendees will be required to sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement).

However, we will only move forward if there are 50 people who are interested in attending.

At this point we are looking to get a gauge on the interest for this level of information - it is definitely not for everyone, but this first hand experience is how so many musicians who’ve been killing it in the Sync space for years, including Michael & myself, learned. We had direct mentorship from other sync professionals, and now we have an opportunity to bring that same experience to you.

If you are interested in attending, please comment below so I can get a gauge on whether or not we should continue moving forward with this….

Wow! 6 uses of “Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming” in The Midnight Club on Netflix…it’s that creepy old timey song we keep hearing!

Shout out to Justine & Alexa for the ongoing support!

Great news, our Labor Sale is Happening Now and we have opened enrollment for several programs!

You can save 30% off several courses today.

If you’re serious about licensing, you should be constantly looking to level up your knowledge and skills which is why I created these programs. To help you level up your skills and help you become a force of nature in Sync.

Which areas would you like to level up on next?

Learn how you can build your global network of Sub-Publishers, and expand your knowledge of International Licensing with World Tour Vol. 1 where we talk with Germany, U.K. Romania, Vietnam, Italy, Turkey, Canada & Greece

Maybe you would like to learn How to Pitch like a Professional Music Publisher with "Pitch Like a Pro"?

This course is great if you already have a foundational understanding of Sync, but you're having trouble getting placements. It could just mean you're pitching the WRONG way.

In this course, you will learn:

What a Music Supervisor Does
Who Music Supervisors Serve
Challenges Music Supervisors Face...so that you can understand your clients and the people who create the products music supervisors work on!
You’ll also learn:

- How to Thoroughly Research Projects That Need Music

- How to Prepare for and Crush a Pitch Meeting

- Why Presentation Matters

- Why Sometimes it’s Better Not to Pitch At All

- What to Expect When Pitching Your Music

- What to Do If You Don’t Hear Back

I’ll even show you how to find your ideal customers!

It’s very important to identify your ideal customers who will keep coming back for your music.

- And you’ll join me as I show you the RIGHT ways to pitch and more important, the WRONG way to pitch when we go behind the scenes and closely examine pitches that resulted in placements and you’ll see exactly what I did to land those highly coveted spots!

Sale ends Monday, 9/5 at Midnight PST.

Make your success a priority.

- Jody
