Have you ever wondered how artists get paid for their work? When one song has multiple musicians, producers, etc, how are royalties paid?  

Jeff is joined by Molly Neuman to help us understand how music publishing can be done to benefit creators. Molly is the President of Songtrust, the world’s largest and most accessible global publishing administration service. Under Neuman’s leadership, Songtrust has grown to represent more than 3 million copyrights for more than 350,000 writers in 145 countries, as well as tens of thousands of business clients including record labels, distributors, and boutique publishers.
