Lee Coats - owner of Springfield Music, Inc from 1986-2020. Growing to Transition.
This was recorded off the cuff using my cell phone, so please excuse the poor audio quality. But I think you'll hear the love, respect, and gratitude we have for one another in this episode. This is a bit of a trip down memory lane for Springfield Music, but for those interested in our history or growth, or those who are considering an ownership transition, it's totally worth a listen.

Customer Reviews
Pure gold
So far I’ve listed to Robert Christie, Lori Supinie, and Randy Shayler. The episode with Robert is pure gold to me and it’s the exact stuff I need to be improving with the schools. Randy is always epic, and then your additions to the conversation is equally as good as the guests. Keep up the good work.
Worth the Listen!
Donovan does an outstanding job interviewing our industry leaders and capturing the secrets of their success! Definitely worth the listen!
