In this episode, Eric talks with guitarist and entrepreneur Anthony Sloan: co-founder and CEO of the Sloan School of Music.
What started as a family idea grew into a two-location music school, retail operation, and community hub offering more than 30,000 lessons a year. Anthony shares the full story: building a business with friends, creating a welcoming “coffeehouse” atmosphere, attracting and retaining great teachers, and crafting meaningful performance opportunities for students.
They also discuss the importance of clarity in leadership, Anthony’s experience in the Goldman Sachs 10K Small Businesses program, and his new venture MelodyMap, designed to help families find trusted music teachers with ease.
A must-listen for music educators, studio owners, entrepreneurs, and anyone building community through creativity.
