Vibe Over Ego -What Jazz Legends Taught Me In The Recording Studio

Vibe Over Ego -What Jazz Legends Taught Me In The Recording Studio

In this episode, Jody Bagno-Dill takes you inside an unforgettable experience: sitting in on a jazz recording session led by the legendary Jamie Davis and filled with additional Grammy-winning artists. As the musicians created magic in the studio, leadership gold was on full display, and the lessons are surprisingly transferable to the workplace.

From clarity to competency to chemistry, you'll hear how these world-class artists came together to create vibe...and how you can do the same with your team.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why clarity is the bedrock of performance (and what happens without it)
  • How mastery in your craft opens the door for improvisation
  • The silent power of emotional maturity in high-performing teams
  • The unspoken leadership superpower: appreciation
  • What cookies have to do with team creativity (yes, seriously)

Key Quote:

“People don’t show up for perfect notes—they show up for how the music makes them feel. It’s the same with your employees and customers.”
