Guest experts included Rico Brooks, David W. Prasse, Tanner Hendon and Sean McPherson who are, respectively, a personal artist manager, music & entertainment attorney, producer / label owner, and producer / artist manager; and talent buyer / producer / personal artist manager.

When asked what books he would recommend on the topic, Rico Brooks held up NARIP’s fat handout, complete with producer deal template, list of most important deal points and negotiation positions, and replied, “Did you get a copy of this handout? This is all you need!”
