At the mightiest music conferences of them all SXSW and I saw Derek Sivers give his presentation – The Tao of Music Conferences – where he dished out some of his best advice on how to be effective at SXSW.
He did this wiki style and included wonderful short clips from industry leaders including Tim Ferriss, from The Four Hour Workweek @tferriss, voice teacher Wendy Parr @Wendyparr, and Greg Rollet from Gen Y Rockstars @g_rois. It was inspiring as only Derek can be. Part of his talk focused on the very basic principle of “Persistence is Polite!”
Hey Ariel – thanks for catching the panel and I'm glad someone caught the video I sent over. Sounded like a good time. Have a great week at SXSW and looking forward to connecting at an event like this soon.
I got word that Derek also made use of my little tidbit. Rather fun to get a few texts and tweets letting me know. Wish I could have been there. I'll have to get out to SXSW next year for sure.
