Episode notes

Bruce Springsteen's manager, John Landau, offered Jimmy some advice. This key advice helped Jimmy begin honing his instincts to break down barriers. He had been stuck behind the barrier of his own ego and it kept him from seeing the big picture. With the barriers down, Jimmy could challenge them to break out of their own creative silos.
