TEM32: Sam Pilafian of Boston Brass on founding a world-renowned chamber group, what makes someone hirable and how luck seems to be self-generated
As one person who heard this episode with Sam Pilafian said to me "People just don't have careers like this any more. It doesn't even seem real all the things he's done." Anyone who has played with the Metropolitan Opera, Lionel Hampton and Pink Floyd has some lessons the rest of us can learn from. The entrepreneurial path of Sam Pilafian is incredible. Someone will write a book about this man someday.

This will fire you up!
