Mike Epstein always had his eye on a career in the big apple - he began working at Cinematic Music Group in 2014 and quickly garnered acclaim for his work on Cinematic artist Flipp Dinero’s hit single “Leave Me Alone”, which gained viral fame and would go on to earn quadruple platinum RIAA certification, and more importantly, change Dinero’s life forever.
Mike’s role would earn him a reputation for performing at a high level and doing it with respect, care, and values. With ethics at the forefront of his values, he remains with GoodTalk (formerly Cinematic Music Group) today, where he leads digital marketing and efforts to develop new relationships for promoting the roster of artists. He’s presented as a speaker in multiple cities across the country and continues to remain at the forefront of music and technology.
During his decade plus working with GoodTalk, Mike has helped spearhead digital campaigns for That Mexican OT’s breakthrough single “Johnny Dang” and album “Lonestar Luchador”, Flipp Dinero’s hit song “Leave Me Alone”, T-Pain’s “1UP” album alongside his Masked Singer victory, multiple RIAA certified singles, & more.

The Managers Playbook is one of my favorite new podcasts in the entire entertainment business. Founded and hosted by Mauricio Ruiz (who used to manage Jesse Reyez), the show is an inside look at the inner workings of the business from the perspective of managers, executives, and artists.
It discusses topics very few podcasts talk about - one of my things about it is walking away with different perspectives of how to look at or do things.
