    Episode 120 - Neil Wilson : The Creative Groove

    Would you have the courage to sell your house in order to fund a retro startup in the music industry? Neil Wilson is co-owner of Suitcase Records, a family-owned vinyl pressing business based in Brisbane, Australia. Neil shares his fascinating journey from the safe world of urban planning and architecture to co-founding one of only three vinyl record manufacturers in the country.  He provides a unique perspective on the challenges of making the commitment to the startup (“burn your bridges”)  and also the many rewards and frustrations of running a manufacturing business that operates in a creative field. (Did you know that there’s often more stress in getting the artists to agree on the cover design than the music itself?) Throughout the conversation, Neil highlights the deeper engagement that vinyl offers in today's digital age and emphasises the importance of fostering community and connection in both business and creativity.
