In this clip from The Manager’s Playbook, Nima Nasseri and I break down a part of the music business most people ignore: mental discipline, visualization, and mindset.
This isn’t motivational talk. It’s operational thinking.
Nima explains why long-term success in the modern music industry starts internally before it ever shows up in numbers, streams, or opportunities. Whether you’re an independent artist, creator, manager, or music executive, your ability to visualize success, stay mentally aligned, and build disciplined routines directly impacts how far your career goes.
The conversation touches on how elite athletes use visualization, why mental health and gratitude are essential to creative longevity, and how building the right team culture creates momentum that talent alone can’t sustain. Nima also shares practical insight into daily routines, habit tracking, goal setting, and how small mental adjustments compound into real-world results.
If you’re trying to build a sustainable music career, scale your impact, and stay grounded while navigating today’s fast-moving digital industry, this clip reframes what “the work” actually looks like.
Simply put, a conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
