It was a busy week for the Speakerheart team. After writing code and marketing plans for the first couple days, Lee, Cedric, myself and the "consultants" decided to hit up the Music Society of Nashville show at Christopher Pizza.We're going to be sponsoring every Wednesday in September, so we thought we would do a test run..good music, just can't beat that.
Somehow the night was quickly extended instead of ended. Although the smart bets were on going to bed, some of us (me and Cedric) decided to check out a late night picking party on the porch of some of the Speakerheart early adopters, Tyler and Kyle, and Zach from Futureman's Black Mozart Orchestra. They were excited about the upcoming launch and showed us some footage of the "Orchestra" performing on PBS. Can't wait to get that loaded up on our site. We were late getting to work, but as the boss put it "Someone's got to do it".
Thursday...Sleep. 14 hours of it as a matter of fact.
Friday, had a day of Speakerheart planning of digital takeover....Friday night, back at it with a birthday party of an assistant from the William Morris Agency. The party was full of agents, assistants, interns and musicians. It went to wee hours of the morning with the group talking about the future of music, and how to band together to make everyone's job more worthwhile. This was of course, after the disco party...
The common denominator was that people do not want to settle for average or good, they want to be the best and will do whatever it takes. Even if that means staying after a party to get to know someone by helping pick up.
