For five years, he played in the NYC subways just to pay his bills.
Then he got the call, and within a year, he was headlining Red Rocks.
But his real transformation didn't start on stage. It began backstage, watching his 72-year-old musical hero admit he was still grinding just because he "needed the money."
In this episode, Lyle Divinsky unpacks the beautiful, brutal reality of life as a touring musician. He shares his journey from the subway platform to the stadium stage, and the moment he realized that passion alone doesn't guarantee security. This isn’t just a story about making it in music. It’s about rewriting a money story that was never about scarcity, but about absence—and finding a new way to blend service, passion, and prosperity.
We unpack:
From subway platforms to headlining Red Rocks: What it’s like to achieve your wildest dreams.
The backstage conversation with a musical legend that revealed the dark side of a life pursuing passion.
Why he quit a famous band at the height of its success to “go straight back to the bottom.”
When "money is other": Rewriting a lifelong money story that never had a villain.
From artist imposter syndrome to founder: How a musician learned to build a business.
His new mission: Unlocking the power of the human voice for wellness.
