The realm of entrepreneurial empowerment was illuminated in this coaching session as Donnie Wiggins, esteemed business coach and accomplished entrepreneur, collaborated with two exceptional clients: Joya Owens, trailblazer of the Friendship Society, and Asia Carpenter, the creative genius steering Divine Dance Studio.
Joya Owens - The Friendship Society
Joya shared that she started the Friendship Society in 2018 initially as a publishing company, but in 2021 she transitioned it into a music business coaching and consulting practice. Her goal is to help music artists understand the importance of publishing, intellectual property ownership, and proper file formatting to ensure they get paid for their work.
Joya explained that many independent artists struggle to get paid for their music because they don't understand the technical aspects of publishing and file management. She aims to educate artists on these critical business elements so they can maximize their earnings from their creative work.
Donnie provided valuable feedback to Joya, suggesting she update her social media bio to better reflect her focus on "Artist Business Development" rather than using the term "coach." She also encouraged her to be more strategic with her social media content, ensuring it aligns with her core mission of supporting music artists.

Asia shared that she has been running Divine Dance Studio for 10 years, doing what she loves every day. Donnie praised her for the longevity of her business and expressed interest in learning more about her journey.
