Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning-in today for a new episode of Entrepreneur Mindset-Reset, THE podcast where entrepreneurs just like you and me share how they master their mindset to overcome obstacles to their success.

In today’s episode, I am thrilled to be speaking with the passionate and very-dedicated-to-music, David Joseph of School of Rock Chapel Hill.

David took a leap of faith back in 2017, and left his corporate gig to start a music school! David is the owner and General Manger of School of Rock in Chapel Hill, NC, which is a franchise of the School of Rock, inspiration for the movie with the same name.

David reminds us that our life skills are transferrable, so we should always aim to find something that we love and take it out into the world. This shows up so much in David’s dedication to the success not only of his School of Rock location, but also in how he supports the success of students and staff. School of Rock provides music education, and so much more for all aspiring musicians, from tiny tots to retirees. In addition to music education, the opportunities for press coverage, live gigs and live-streamed gigs, builds impressive resumes for young musicians, many of whom go on after high school to study music and become professional musicians.

David’s success tips are all great, but the one that really struck me was this: Proceed as if success is inevitable. Let me repeat that: Proceed as if success is inevitable. I would add: when you believe it, you’ll see it, so proceed as if success is inevitable.

So, grab a beverage or a snack and settle-in to listen to David and his amazing journey.

David’s Bio:

Born in Philadelphia, and raised in its suburbs, David Joseph is a graduate of Drexel University (with both a BS in Business Administration / Marketing, and a Masters of Business Administration). David’s professional career includes finance, operations, and control roles in several national retailers (Hecht's, Zany Brainy, Saks 5th Avenue), as well as consulting, strategic planning, corporate development, M&A, and competitive and market intelligence in the software industry (SAP, SAS). And then there is music…

David is passionate about live music, and rock and roll in particular. It’s been that way forever. His favorite teenage memories involve playing the drums with his bandmates. Opening the School of Rock Chapel Hill in 2017 has been more than a business opportunity for David. It's been a musical mission to give back to the community he has come to call home.
