This is Episode 19 of the Dr. Finance Live Podcast hosted by Dr. Anthony M. Criniti IV (aka “Dr. Finance®”). Dr. Criniti interviewed Christine Kane, professional singer and songwriter turned successful entrepreneur, and the author of The Soul-Sourced® Entrepreneur book.

Before Christine Kane founded what became a multi-million dollar coaching company, she spent fifteen years in the music industry, producing seven CD's and a DVD on her own label, while touring the globe over 200 days a year. She shared the stage with luminaries like John Mayer, The Beach Boys, Los Lobos, Nanci Griffith, and Shawn Colvin.

Her success as a singer-songwriter had fans asking how she did it while staying true to her art and her soul. Those backstage questions turned into weekend retreats. Those retreats turned into coaching requests - and set her on a new path.

In 2010, Kane opened Uplevel You, a company that serves the ever-growing class of sensitive, idea-driven, aggression-averse entrepreneurs (a class she counts herself a member of). Her work has attracted more than 85,000 loyal email subscribers and has coached thousands of clients into the six and seven figures in their businesses, while remaining true to their message and their souls. She is the author of The Soul-Sourced® Entrepreneur.

Today, Christine leads a small yet mighty team at Uplevel World Headquarters in Asheville, North Carolina.
