The Best Advice You Were Ever Given

The Conductor's Podcast

Hi there! Welcome to the very first episode of the Conductor’s Podcast Wisdom series, a new series full of shared life experiences and, of course, wisdom!

In each of the monthly episodes of the Conductor’s Podcast Wisdom series, I am going to pose a question to 10 musicians, conductors, or business gurus. So including myself, you will hear all the goodies from a wide array of people, thus called the wisdom series. Now, without further ado, let’s get started.

The very first question I am asking my people, is “what’s the best advice you were ever given?”

For me, it was “don’t take it personal.”

My guests today are:

• Lily Ling (Music Director, Hamilton - episode 21)
• Jennifer Kane (Founder, NOVA Women's Choral Project - episode 16)
• Ashley Killam and Carrie Blosser (Co-Founder, Diversify the Stand)
• Tiffany Chang (opera and orchestra conductor, episode 4)
• Kira Omelchenko (Conductor, Wilfrid Laurier University Symphony Orchestra, episode 22)
• B.E. Boykin (Composer and Conductor, episode 25)
• Margaret Flood (Founder, Frost Young Women Conductor Symposium
• Noreen Green (Conductor, Los Angeles Jewish Symphony, episode 27), and
• my dear friend Michelle Rofrano (Founder, Protrestra, episode 3)
