Episode 548 – Performance Coaching Is The Secret to Thriving as a Musician, Here’s Why | Nick Bottini

In this week’s episode, I sit down with the brilliant Nick Bottini, a multi-instrumentalist, consultant, and performance coach for musicians.

Nick is a well-studied musician who taught at various levels, eventually rising to the Head of Music London schools. 

He transitioned into performance coaching after discovering the steps that unlocked his own musicianship. Since then he’s helped everyone from students to top music professionals to sports figures and even entrepreneurs.

In this episode, Nick and I discussed when a musician needs a performance coach, why visualization doesn’t always work, how to get into a state of flow, the cultural shifts the music industry is seeing right now, and so much more.
