Steve Albini's letter to Nirvana (No business lessons required)
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…
