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."
