About this listen

What if the most powerful lessons about leadership, innovation, and resilience didn’t come from business school—but from music?

In 'What Music Teaches You About Everything', award-winning musician and keynote speaker Michael Kollwitz explores how a lifetime of creative work reveals universal principles for navigating challenge, change, and uncertainty.

Drawing on decades of performing, problem-solving, and building a career around the unconventional Chapman Stick®, Michael shows how the habits of successful artists mirror those of effective leaders and innovators. Through engaging stories and practical insights, he reveals why consistency matters more than intensity, how deep listening transforms communication, and why adaptability and improvisation are essential skills in a fast-changing world.

Blending storytelling, business wisdom, and humor, this audiobook offers a fresh perspective on creativity, resilience, and mindset. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, leader, creative professional, or lifelong learner, the lessons of music provide a powerful guide to thinking differently—and moving forward with confidence.
