How do you push creative boundaries and embrace opportunities as they come? You solve problems and focus on the people around you. Today's guest on Getting Work To Work, Josh Simons, is no stranger to the creative business world. According to his bio, "he ran a record label, publishing function, film production company and was the lead singer of Australian indie rock band Buchanan." Now, Josh is the Chief Executive Officer of Vinyl Group, Australia's only ASX-listed music company, and founder of Vampr. In our conversation, Josh shares lessons he learned in his journey from recording studios to boardrooms. He talks about his curiosity with people and what motivates them, bands as a lens for looking at the business world, the objective nature of success, the creativity present in writing songs and leading people, why the asshole creative shouldn't be the model for success, and how to manage the emotions in your mind with sticky and transient solutions.
