⚔️ 🎸 How Being a DIY Concert Promoter Made Me an Entrepreneurial Thinker 💡🧰 When I was 17, I accidentally became a key contact for touring punk bands looking to play in the Boston area. ☠️🥁 How it started was, I booked a one-off, all-ages, show for my band and our friends and it was a huge success, filled way over capacity. I even added a legendary NY hardcore band as a headliner. Word spread that I knew how to draw a crowd 💃🕺 and my friend Al Quint had his heartbeat on the local music scene. 🎼🎸 So, Al submitted my name and phone number (which was my parent’s house!) in Maximum Rock and Roll, an infamous punk magazine. Within a few days, my parent’s phone started blowing up, which they didn’t love... So, in between classes, I had to use the lobby payphone at my high school to negotiate artist guarantees with agents and bands that were more experienced than I. By the time I completed my freshman year at BU, I had booked and negotiated over 150 events in my parents home, on payphones, and in my dorm room with legends such as Fugazi, The Bosstones, A Tribe Called Quest, and many more. I made 💩 for money but I learned some solid business and marketing lessons that I could have never learned in school such as, * Approach negotiations with a win-win perspective. * Fight up, not down. * If it seems like it’s too good to be true then chances are it’s gonna suck. * Harnessing momentum is a skill. Do you have some lessons in your early career that you still use? (I made this flyer ⬇️ in art class lol)

Off-key, out of tune, missed notes, timing off... and it is all OK! Attended my younger son's 1st Recital today. An opportunity for the music school's students to perform on a proper stage. They all took turns to perform the pieces to the appreciative audiences and proud parents. Without much care, the kids just gave it all in that few minutes. How many times as adults are we too addicted with Perfection? Do we overly punish ourselves and others for mistakes? How flexible are we with a plan, and the fixation doesn't allow for organic creativity. For contrast, my older son was at the NDP NE Show. Everything must be 100% Perfect. Nothing wrong with the quest for excellence and pride. But the amount of toil and sacrifice, is imho brutal. How many shows and rehearsals lead to 9th August? Somewhere between the two, is a magical zone. This can translate to both fun and performance. Engagement and creativity. Balance and longevity.
