When the 2020 Covid pandemic put a stop to the live music industry, Rachael Bronstein thought about the thousands who work behind the scenes to put on the amazing shows that she loved. Those concerts were her happy place, a place where she could check her worries at the door. She had become a devoted fan over the years, attending dozens of concerts and live festivals, developing relationships with many of the talented (and underserved) professionals who make road shows possible. She learned how challenging it can be for new and seasoned professionals to manage the logistics of touring life and one’s personal life. Rachael paired her love of music with her business expertise to create Life’s Jam, a resource of tools and solutions to make road life a little easier. Rachael Bronstein is an Accredited Financial Counselor and financial coach. She got her start at NBC in production finance and launched her company, Life’s Jam, last year in response to the hardship created for the music industry due to the halt in live events. Since so much of the music industry is made up of freelancers, Rachael wanted to make sure these professionals were set up correctly both personally & professionally. During the past year, Rachael has helped touring professionals get financially organized through her work with The Roadie Clinic and private coaching. She has hosted workshops for the Music Forward Foundation and Women in Music. In addition to her music financial coaching, she is also head coach for Jean Chatzky's FinanceFixx and InvestingFixx programs. Jean was on the Today Show for 25 years as the financial editor and has been a pioneer in the personal finance space. You can find out more about Life’s Jam at www.lifesjam.com.
