In this energetic episode, Nomad takes listeners on a ride to a non-music event, demonstrating firsthand the power of his four essential rules for building meaningful relationships and standing out as a musician.
Key Takeaways:
Rule #1: Get Up, Dress Up, Show Up
Nomad emphasizes the importance of physically showing up to events, even when you’re not explicitly required to attend. Commitment and presence are key.
Rule #2: Choose Non-Music Related Events
Attending events outside of the music industry allows musicians to stand out and reduce competition, creating more networking opportunities.
Rule #3: The Icebreaker Technique
Use these six powerful words: “What's going on with you?” Then, focus on actively listening. People enjoy sharing their stories, and genuine listening builds strong connections.
Rule #4: The Three-Foot Rule
Always engage in conversation with anyone within three feet of you. Break down barriers and preconceived notions by initiating dialogue with everyone around you, regardless of their role or demeanor.
