Ep. 74: How to Embrace Failure, Find Success and Take Risks with Troy Carter
Nov 11, 2015Tap to summarizeTroy Carter is a well-known manager of artists like John Legend and Meghan Trainor, as well as a new guest 'shark' on Marc Cuban's TV Show Shark Tank, and the founder and CEO Atom Factory investment and talent management company in Los Angeles. This is a new segment called The Prequel, where we get the pre-story where we talk to someone well-known about what life was like before they were successful. In this case Troy Carter talks Philly, technology, getting kicked-out of L.A., investing in startups like Uber and Lyft, managing John Legend, hearing a hit song in the studio, the soulful connection between entrepreneurs and musicians, and much much more. Quote from Troy: "In life in general, there are no guarantees. Failures are a part of life. As cliche as it may sound, the way I look at it as there are no rewards without taking risks. We take a risk every time we step out the door, every single day. Life is full of risks and failures, but at the same time life is full of triumphs and happiness."

Ep. 28 - Troy Carter: Finding a Passion You’d Be Willing to Die For (Atom Factory CEO)
Nov 27, 2014Tap to summarizeI was excited to have Troy Carter on the podcast. He is the founder of Atom Factory, and the conversation was inspiring to say the least. Troy and I talked about hip-hop, entrepreneurship, life, failure, success and finding passion around your work. Troy used to work with Bigee Smalls and Puff Daddy back in the day and we started talking about the paralelles of technology entrepreneurs and hip hop music artists. And the conversation turned into so much more afterwards. A great quote from Troy: "In life in general, there are no guarantees. Failures are a part of life. As cliche as it may sound, the way I look at it as there are no rewards without taking risks. We take a risk every time we step out the door, every single day. Life is full of risks and failures, but at the same time life is full of triumphs and hapiness."
