Ep. 30: Pitbull, Pop Saxophone, and Pushing Your Boundaries with Lucia Sarmiento

What do Pitbull, pop saxophone, and pushing your boundaries have to do with one another? After finishing her degree at McNally Smith, Lucia Sarmiento read Ari Herstand's book "How To Make It in the New Music Business" and decided to write down her goals and dreams for her music career. On that list, she included: Tour with a big pop star Grow her social media for opportunities and community Get better on the saxophoneWhether you attribute it to manifestation, luck, or hard work, talent, and courage - they all play a role.Sarmiento's story is compelling. She's a remarkably talented multi-instrumentalist and, as you'll discover in this episode, quite brave, too. I think her willingness to push her own boundaries and take BIG risks when the opportunity presents itself is pivotal to her impressive successes so far. In this episode, Sarmiento discusses her experiences performing on huge tours with Pitbull and Karol G and also shares her mindset and strategy around growing her social media to an impressive 100k followers across Instagram and YouTube. There are some real gems in this one. I gleaned a wealth of knowledge, and I trust you will, too.
