Two firsts this week on the podcast: first time we’ve had a two-guest interview and first time we’ve had guests who aren’t native to the tech industry.
Rishon Blumberg and Michael Solomon are pioneers in the talent management space having worked with A-list celebrities like Bruce Springsteen and John Mayer. A decade ago they set out to bring what they learned in entertainment to the tech talent economy.
They’ve since published the popular book Game Changer: How to be 10x in the Talent Economy and have been busy helping the tech community find gigs.
Listen and learn...
- What it takes to be 10x better at everything.
- The unique personal attributes that separate "10xers" from everyone else.
- What the guys learned managing Bruce Springsteen.
- How one 10xer changed the world...starting with energy bars.
- Why managing rock stars is a lot like managing tech talent.
- The guys advice for entrepreneurs: "...when hustling fails grit is what gets you back to hustling again."
