In this monologue, Courtney McKenna reflects on how the modern music industry has transformed, noting that while it is now easier for artists to gain visibility, independent musicians must assume many roles beyond just creating music. She emphasizes her business-oriented approach—shaped by her upbringing—and credits her grandfather, a car‑industry entrepreneur who prioritized community building, as a key influence on how she views and navigates her career.

You know, one of my, um, my greatest influences and inspirations growing up was my grandpa, and he was an entrepreneur in the car industry, but he was very focused on building community. And, um, so I try to always see things through that lens.
