Nicholas Veinoglou - How A Musician Uses His Intuition To Connect, Share, and Be Guided To The Next Step | Ep.17 The Journey of Pursuit - Stories and Strategies to Empower Creative Entrepreneurs

Hi Amigos!
Today’s guest is a very close friend of mine, Nicholas Veinoglou. We met in an Escape room in LA. Yep, you read that right. We met through a mutual friend and were thrown into an escape room together and had to figure out how to get out without even knowing each other’s names. True story. He is someone that I truly care about and admire for not only his hard work, dedication, and love for music, but for the way he cares about those around him and for always making his friends laugh.
Born in Great Barrington, MA, Nick began his hopelessly romantic exploration of the guitar at age 10. Highly influenced from Blues, Classical and Jazz. He graduated Magna Cum Laude in May 2015 from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor's Degree in Jazz Guitar Performance and a minor in Harmony. Currently, Nicholas is working as a musical director, songwriter, educator, producer, and guitarist in Los Angeles. He tours both nationally and internationally working with artists such as Bazzi, Jordan Fisher, Dove Cameron, Cimo Frankel, and many more.
We talk about all kinds of things in today’s episode: = what’s it like to tour with big names like Jordan Fisher and Bazzi? What does he think about going to music school? What were his biggest takeaway from Berklee College of Music? How’s life in LA as a guitarist/musician? We also talk about growth and the opportunity to support and learn with your community instead of compare and disconnect from your peers. Amongst many other things, my personal favorite was hearing him talk about following his intuition and letting it guide him towards the next step.
