In March of this year, I took part of the Grow team to Brooklyn New York to do some in person planning for the podcast.

I spent a considerable amount of time at Brooklyn Music Factory’s gorgeous studio space.

While there, I had a “stop and chat” with Peira (BMF’s co-owner).

In the course of that conversation, she made some interesting comments about her hiring strategy for Brooklyn Music Factory.

I asked her so many questions and spent a good 15 minutes just picking her brain about how they find great talent to staff their seasonal programs (as well as their year-round programs).

During the conversation, I said: “Man! I wish we had a camera crew here... this whole conversation should just be an episode of the podcast!”

We didn’t record that conversation, but we did the next best thing... We set up a time to talk about it again and elaborate even further on the topic.

A listener sent in a question and a REAL LIFE dilemma she faced.

She was presented an opportunity to take her studio out of her home... but it would require her taking a financial risk and investing in a commercial location.

This is a different kind of episode... instead of Nate and I giving theoretical advice about expansion, scale, investment, and investing in a location...
