In this episode of the Spread The Positive Podcast, Trent sits down with Max Foster, founder of Foster Entertainment, for a wild and inspiring conversation about music, entrepreneurship, and building unforgettable live experiences in Nashville.

Max shares how a childhood love for guitar turned into a career path rooted in music business, artist management, and live event production. From growing up in Austin and falling in love with rock music, to studying music business at Belmont and navigating the chaos of the live music world, Max explains how he found his lane by helping artists, venues, and event planners create better shows.

What you'll hear in this episode:

• Max's journey from young guitarist to music business professional
• Why he shifted from wanting to manage artists to building custom live music experiences
• How Foster Entertainment helps venues, private events, and artists with live show production
• The importance of live music opportunities for emerging artists
• Stories from the early days of throwing shows, building a roster, and learning through real-world event chaos
• Why the live music scene is still one of the most important parts of the industry

Max also shares hilarious and eye-opening stories from the trenches of event planning — from surprise crowds to missing production pieces to the unpredictable energy that comes with live entertainment. It's a great look at what it really takes to build a business in the music space and why flexibility, creativity, and calm under pressure matter so much.
