The Rise: with Skrizz & Adam
The music industry and startup world can be an ugly place with the odds stacked against you. Daniel (Skrizzly Adams) as an artist and Adam as an entrepreneur have dropped their record label, they’ve fired their co-founders. They’ve had 150 million independent streams, they’ve had a company that was acquired. They’ll be talking music, entrepreneurship, and the no BS, unfiltered stories that come along with the day-to-day of trying to make it. Guests will include business leaders, athletes, musicians, actors, and the everyday people that are on the journey to building their future. Welcome to The Rise.
