131—Big Grit: Nate Shaw
from Conquer the Chaos
Nate Shaw, who is the CEO of Brooklyn Music Factory, joins Small Biz Buzz in our Big Grit docuseries to talk about his company's vision to create a community online that provides the same kind of opportunities and deep connections as teaching music in person. "The whole world can be a community," said Nate. "At Brooklyn Music Factory, one of our real opportunities in 2021 is figuring out how to grow a meaningful, communal connection online that matches the version we have in person." Nate expressed how pivoting your business during the pandemic is about perspective, reorganizing your team and finding a mindset that can work. He understood his business can be of a benefit, even in the most dire times. "The fact that we were hiring online teachers from any English-speaking country was amazing. What quality of talent that you could recruit," said Nate. "Our vision in 2021 is twofold. To expand that online community, and build on it and scale it, to expand our teacher network, just start supporting other studios and teachers that need curriculum that works online and in-person. And then actually to shrink our local community slightly." Click play for more.
