1. Can you tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path?
Hi. My name is Sophie Steele (or S-EM-C) and I am a songwriter, artist, music industry professional and media company owner. I originally got into the entertainment space as a rapper and after years of trial and error I learned about the backend business structure of releasing music. After spending around $20,000 on my own career, I was finally able to figure out what worked and what didn’t. Once I did, I started to take on clients so that I was able to apply my skills to benefit other creatives. Now my company helps indie artists and creatives of all kinds monetize, structure, and market their brands.
2. Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started this career?
3. Can you share a story about the funniest mistake you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that?
The funniest mistake I made when I was first starting was not knowing my numbers and working for literally $8 sometimes.
I learned you gotta know the score to win the game.
4. What are some of the most interesting or exciting projects you are working on now?
5. Who are some of the most interesting people you have interacted with? What was that like? Do you have any stories?
Everyone I meet is interesting in their own way and I try to draw inspiration from every interaction. The people who are around me on a daily basis and in my network building are so inspiring and I look forward to changing the world with them.6. Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?

8. Can you share with our readers any self care routines, practices or treatments that you do to help your body, mind or heart to thrive? Kindly share a story or an example for each.
Everyday I wake up and do affirmations, a gratitude journal, study, drink water and read. I think these four things build a great foundation for any type of career. Also, practice personal hygiene… if you can’t take care of yourself, what makes you think someone is going to hand you an opportunity?
9. What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why. Please share a story or example for each.
1. There is no limit to what a weak minded person will do when they are intimidated by your greatness.
