Notes From The Executive with Mina Amso The Producer of Oprah's Favourite Thing: 'WHAT I Learned Leaving School at 15'? | Murray Thom
How can you fail school and still go on to be one of the greatest music producers of all time in New Zealand?
Murray Thom’s story is a perfect example of this. His 10-CD collection made it onto The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2002, a moment that wasn’t the result of chasing the next big idea but rather recognising a quiet opportunity and turning it into something extraordinary.
We often get caught up in the race to find the next big thing, but Murray’s journey shows that it’s not always about chasing the loudest trends. Sometimes, the most rewarding opportunities are the ones that start as a small idea, nurtured with passion and persistence.
If you've ever thought “I need a pick me up episode to watch or why can't I land that big break”, this episode is for you.
In this conversation, Murray and Mina discuss topics such as saying yes when you don't know the full picture, how Murray's work ended up on Oprah, how he became a successful music producer and what it was like to meet Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel.
