Meet NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) CEO and President of the NAMM Foundation, John Mlynczak. In this conversation, we talk about what is NAMM and how important it is for us to know the work they are doing, especially as music educators. This episode was incredibly inspirational and exciting as NAMM is continuing the awesome work they’ve been doing while also starting some new huge things under Mlynczak’s leadership. The big question - who wants to go to the Trade Show with me? 2025? Let’s do a meet-up! I can’t wait!
