The Violinist Nobody Heard: The Importance of Positioning & Context

from The Estate Agent Consultancy Podcast · host The Estate Agent Consultancy

In January 2007, one of the greatest violinists alive stood in a Washington DC Metro station with a £3 million Stradivarius and played some of the finest music ever composed. Over forty-three minutes, more than a thousand people walked straight past him. Only seven stopped. He earned about twenty quid.
