156 QuoteAs digital nomads and creative entrepreneurs, often the last thing we think about is our legal rights and the correct structure of our business. Especially in the ‘wild west’ of the online world where you can get set up with a landing page and PayPal button.

Luckily Jo-Ná’s here to help us all.

Her life in entertainment began 15 years ago as a background vocalist for independent artists and it took a fortuitous turn when she was not credited or compensated for any of her work.

As a result, she committed her life to educating and protecting artists through her work as a manager, event producer and now a lawyer and coach on business, branding and marketing for musicians and artists.

She is dedicated to issues regarding the rights of artists and content creators because she believes they are a population highly vulnerable to exploitation without proper knowledge.

Some of her clients have written best-selling books, created award-winning blogs, been nominated for Grammys, listed in the Billboard Top 100, Amazon and ITunes Top Album Charts and received local and International acclaim.

I’d listen carefully to what she has to share in this episode and take notes.
