Lina and JC reunite with old friends Ashley and Kelsey, the duo behind GRRRL Music (formerly hosts of Bops n Bangers), for a high-energy, behind-the-scenes conversation about what it really takes to build a music brand from scratch. They talk friendship, pandemic pivots, live streaming vs. podcasting, listening to 1,200 albums a year, and launching their own music distribution company. Along the way, they unpack burnout, boundaries, community, motherhood, and why passion and consistency still matter more than overnight “success.” If you’re a producer, indie artist, or creator trying to figure out your next move, this episode is a roadmap and a reality check.
