Summary

This week’s conversation is with Peter Shapiro, a music industry legend and perhaps the most influential independent concert promoter of his generation.

Over his eclectic career, Peter has produced several acclaimed and groundbreaking projects, and was listed on Billboard’s Power 100 List for “Most Influential People in the Music Business”.

Peter is the owner of several legendary music venues around the country which have hosted some of the biggest names in modern music – The Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Leonard Cohen, Snoop Dogg, David Bowie, U2, The Roots, and so many more. In total, Peter has played a major role in putting on over 10,000 shows and concerts in his lifetime.

Over his eclectic career, Peter has also produced several acclaimed and groundbreaking projects, including two documentary films on The Grateful Dead, an IMAX behind-the-scenes concert film featuring artists like Santana, Dave Matthews, Sting, & Sheryl Crow, and the first ever live-action concert film released in digital 3D following performances from U2.

Most recently, Peter published his first book, The Music Never Stops, which chronicles insights, stories, and back-stage anecdotes from 50 of his most influential concerts.

But this conversation is not just about music – it’s about insights from a pioneer who paved the way in his industry through grit, resourcefulness, and utilizing the power of relationships. I can’t wait for you to learn from Peter and hear his incredible stories.

0:00.0	But I've done a lot of being there, you know, I'm chasing that feeling of live music for me.
0:07.0	It would never fade. And it powers me again to want more. And there's not, it's beyond money,
0:12.1	or even I'm getting a massage, you know, money in a nice car or a massage. I've done more
0:17.8	and been successful because I didn't make a lot of money.
0:30.5	Okay, welcome back. I love this podcast. I love that we're in it together.
0:36.0	And if you're new here, welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I am Michael Jervé, your host
0:41.9	by trade and training a sport and performance psychologist. And the whole idea here is to pull back
0:47.7	the curtain to understand how some of the most extraordinary thinkers and doers across the planet
0:53.6	are able to work from the inside out. How do they train their mind? What are the principles that
0:58.9	they use? What are their best practices? How do they understand at the same time that they're
1:04.2	building their craft to train their mind towards the ability to express their potential?

1:25.5	science and designed to help you sleep, perform, and recover better. My favorite product that they
1:30.5	have is their infrared sauna blanket. I've loved adding this to my routine. It's a great way to
1:36.1	reset and unwind. And at the same time, get my heart rate up. What I really enjoy about it is
1:42.0	that it heats the body directly rather than the air around you like a traditional sauna. That
1:48.1	means that you get the same benefits at a lower heat. And for me, the best part is how I feel
1:54.3	after. It will revitalized, relaxed, and I've even noticed an improvement in my sleep, which is a
1:59.7	game changer for me. So if you're looking for a nice way to add the benefits of high quality heat
