Steve Albini's letter to Nirvana (No business lessons required)
The legendary producer who died this week wrote one of the best professional letters ever. You'll see why without me explaining it.
Nirvana’s final album In Utero was produced by Steve Albini, who passed away this week age 61. Here’s a letter Albini wrote to the band ahead of them hiring him.
I try to avoid just grabbing other people’s stuff to share here, but it’s a truly wonderful letter. Albini wasn't just an incredible musician and producer - he was also a tremendous writer.
P.S. I’ll spare you the “here’s what Nirvana can teach us about [B2B sales/getting a payrise/empowering your team]” cliches. I know you’re smart enough to notice some transferrable concepts…
