Bailey shares his journey into the Christian music industry, how following God's voice shaped his career, and why character will always outlast talent. Together they unpack the realities of artist management, touring, record deals, business strategy, and the importance of serving others with integrity.
Whether you're an artist, creative, entrepreneur, or simply seeking to honor God in your work, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom and biblical encouragement.
In this episode you'll learn:
• Why character is more valuable than talent
