In this third and final installment of my interview with Chris Coletti, Chris shares his thoughts on entrepreneurship, particularly as it pertains to musicians. Drawing from his own experiences and insights, we discussthe balance between maintaining artistic passion and facing the realities of “real” musical jobs, such as playing in a full-time orchestra.

Key points include the constant need for innovation, the importance of self-improvement, balancing personal and professional life, and the challenges of continuous touring. Chris briefly mentions personal interactions with great brass masters such as Joe Alessi and Phil Smith, and personal practices such as meditation and learning new skills for growth and motivation.
