Are you listening to the Crushing Classical podcast? Tracy Friedlander has been doing really great things ever since she started it – maybe less than a year ago? It’s become a conversation about the intersection of music and entrepreneurship, and about how you can make your career be what YOU want it to be. Which, as a concept, is right where I live. I’m delighted to see it come up in my feed every week – and THIS WEEK’S EPISODE FEATURES ME!
I did this interview back in the spring, right at the tail end of my busy season, and when the episode launched yesterday I was very nervous about listening to it. I mean, of course there’s the sound of my own voice, which always causes me to cringe, but even more to the point, I had no memory of what I talked about. Vaguely I remembered blabbering on about my reed business, and telling the embarrassing story of our first foray into real estate, and laughing a lot with Tracy, who is delightful and easy to talk to. But really, those last couple of months of the spring were a blur and I could have said anything.
But I steeled myself, and listened to the episode, and was pleasantly surprised at how well Tracy framed and steered the conversation to make it seem as though I was on point. It came out sounding pretty cohesive. It was fun, and funny. And maybe interesting.
I certainly recommend the podcast which you can find at iTunes or in your favorite podcast app, but if you want to start out by listening to ME, you can do that HERE.
