Blender Entrepreneur Salon Series: Russ Titelman & Katie Agresta Discuss Their Secret To Success; Trust Yourself
Many people make it to the top, but how many stay there? Why is it so hard to sustain success? In this engaging Entrepreneur series presented by Do What You Love Media, we’ll meet with two top experts in music who have worked with the world’s most famous and longest lasting stars.
Katie Agresta has been the #1 Singing coach in New York City for over 30 years. A more fitting list might be who hasn’t been her student, than who has. By age 15, this talent had earned her notable distinction as a church soloist within the local community. Katie would later go on to college, studying music at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY, where she earned her BA Degree in Music. This is also where she first met her teacher of twenty years, Dr. Edward J. Dwyer of Teachers College at Columbia University.
Russ Titelman is a legendary music man. As a producer at Warner Brothers Records for 20 years, he produced the Grammy winning “Tears in Heaven” for Eric Clapton, “Higher Love” for Steven Winwood and countless other iconic songs.
As entrepreneurs, these two know the secret of staying power. We’ll discuss how to foster an idea and keep it growing past the white noise of culture to reach the top.
