June 28, 2022

Steven Horwitz is the Founder and Managing Partner of Orchid Black, a management consulting company focusing on helping companies scale and grow. We discuss his passion for music and how it gets pulled into his business life. One of my favorite quotes from Steven, during this podcast is, "If you're going to be a good musician, you need to have big ears." In other words, you have to be a really great listener to be successful in both music and business too.
