Katie Kailus, the Editor of Music Inc. Magazine, has built a career crafting the destination for music products industry news and sourcing stories of creativity within it. Natalie, Steph, and Katie met up for their first ever IN PERSON recording in Long Beach, where Katie shares her journey through publishing, editing, and PR, before landing back at the helm of Music Inc., as well as her perspective on publishing’s ever-growing digital presence and where the future of the medium lies. She also shares a play-by-play of how the well-oiled machine of UpBeat Daily lands under your hotel room door every morning at the NAMM Show.

For Jenna Day, Co-Owner of Day Violins in Virginia, her mission in life is to pay it forward, whether that’s through her store or her day to day advocacy for music education, and even to her passion in social work and hospice care. Join Jenna and Natalie as they discuss how leaning into the vulnerable and uncomfortable makes us stronger in tough times and how she sees the music industry as the tapestry we are all creating.
