Your mixing skills aren't the problem.

Your business system is.

You're talented. Clients love your work. But you're still stuck in the feast-or-famine cycle, undercharging, and watching less-skilled engineers out-earn you.

I've helped 147+ mix engineers build sustainable businesses. Not by teaching them to mix better, but by showing them the business system that actually works in our industry.

Recognize this cycle?

✓ You get busy, stop marketing, then panic when projects dry up

✓ You quote low because you're afraid they'll go elsewhere

✓ You take every project, even the ones that drain you

✓ You see engineers with half your talent charging twice your rate

✓ You know you need "systems" but have no idea where to start

Here's the truth

The music industry doesn't teach business. Your mentors showed you compression settings, not pricing strategies. You learned Pro Tools, not profit margins.

And that's exactly why talented engineers with 10+ years experience are still living gig to gig.

You can't mix your way to a better business.

Your mentors taught you compression ratios, not profit margins. They showed you Pro Tools, not P&L statements.

That gap is why talented engineers stay broke while mediocre ones thrive.

The $10k+ engineers aren't better mixers. They just learned what the industry doesn't teach: how real businesses work, translated for creative people.

Generic business advice dies in studio culture. Music industry "wisdom" keeps you broke.

You need both perspectives. Someone who's lived in both worlds – toured with bands AND ran corporate teams. Produced records AND designed business systems.

147+ engineers have used this hybrid approach to break through.

Not by becoming better mixers. By finally understanding the business mechanics no studio will teach you.

Jon Castelli, Mix Engineer

Michael helped me see my business completely differently. The line between personal and business growth began to blur as we aligned on values both should be built upon. He has a unique way of focusing conversations to tease out what makes you and your brand the most concise version of themselves.

Engineers Who Escaped the Struggle

  • "His ability to help structure your strategy, streamline your systems, and simplify all the boring sh*t that usually gets in the way of landing work, is next level."

    Mike Avenaim (Los Angeles)

  • "Michael helped me realize I don't need to chase every opportunity. I always had this scarcity fear that if I didn't say yes to everything, the phone would never ring again."

    Matt Keller (Arizona)

  • "Not only has my workflow improved, but I've also noticed a significant decrease in stress and overwhelm."

    Julia Borelli (Berlin)

Quick answers to common questions

  • You're right, it is. And that's exactly why it works. You know what else is a lot? Losing $3-5k every month from undercharging. One properly priced project pays for this entire program.

  • Doesn't matter. 80% of my clients work remotely. The system works anywhere you have internet and talent.

  • That's exactly why you need this. You don't have time because you don't have systems. Our clients save 15-20 hours per week within the first month. You can't afford NOT to have time for this.
