108. Talent Stacking for Musicians

If there is anything you have heard us say too many times it's that diversification is key to creating a wealthy musician’s income. We go at that goal from a different angle today.  Instead of spreading out your talents, we stack ‘em up! This has been a very useful technique for me personally to increase my productivity and value in the music business and I think it can do the same for you!

“The idea of a talent stack is that you can combine ordinary skills until you have enough of the right kind to be extraordinary.” - Scott Adams

The Creative Music Guild is a Portland, Oregon all-volunteer, non-profit organization whose mission is to promote experimental, improvised music by presenting concerts, workshops and other events that bring together internationally recognized musicians with local performers, audiences and music students of all ages. For over twenty years, the CMG has been a leader in cultivating Portland’s experimental and improvised music. Learn more at creativemusicguild.org

Talent stacking is the concept of combining several average or above-average skills to create a unique and valuable skill set that sets you apart from others. The idea is that you don't need to be world-class in any single skill; instead, by being competent in multiple complementary skills, you can create a unique combination that makes you highly competitive and valuable in your field.

As always, Thanks for joining us and remember, there is already enough for everyone, you just need to know how to get it.  Until next time, on behalf of Dave Tamkin and myself, Chris Webb.
