In episode 2, we turn to the 1980s and the advent of digital audio to learn how the Mercury Living Presence catalogue was remastered for CD. Tom Fine explains how his mother, Wilma Cozart Fine, came to be working on the remastering project 25 years after retiring from the music industry, and mastering engineer Dennis Drake reveals how he and Wilma transferred Mercury’s vast collection of LPs to the digital domain.

We also examine the role that dCS played in the remastering process, and the pioneering technologies that allowed Wilma and Dennis to preserve the magic of the original LPs. Plus, Rob Cowan and Michael Gray reflect on the Mercury catalogue’s enduring influence and appeal.

She taught herself how to play guitar in a week so she could pursue her dream. Listen as singer/songwriter Cyndi Stark tells the story of how she left a career as a symphony orchestra tuba player to be her authentic self and spread a message of light, love and positivity. 

Do you have a message or a story to tell? Maybe you can relate to Cyndi, who, after years of pursuing what she describes as a restricting career in the orchestral music world, decided enough was enough. She felt like there had to be more - more connection and power. 

Now she can say, "When I’m connecting people, I’m at my best, and I can see them getting something powerful out of it."

No, we're not including Peter's home address in the show notes. Nice try listeners. :)

Yo-Yo Ma is not slang for something. He is a world class Cellist.

We talk a lot about flow on the podcast. We loved Peter's description: "Flow is breathless, meditative, effortless, everything is bathed in light and connects everyone in an experience of community that is wondrous." - Peter McCoppin

"When you're in your head, you're dead." - Tony Robbins

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act but a habit."

"When we're doing something well, we become invisible."

"Why are people afraid? Because they think they may not be good enough and maybe they won't be loved."

"Everything you need to know about leadership is already within you. You can't teach anyone anything they didn't already know for that would be as to give sight to blind eyes." - Plato

"The image is already in the stone, I just take away the excess." Michaelangelo

"Leadership is not position, it's behaviour."

"Our work is to discover our work." Anonymous

Our work is an agency not an entity.

Every successful person has endured obstacles and experienced failures along the way. Many credit those same obstacles/failures as CRUCIAL to their eventual success.

"Emotion is the most powerful anchor for memory."

Peter was mentored by the great Erich Leinsdorf.

We love these gems by Helen Keller.

"Life is either an amazing adventure or nothing at all."

"What could be worse than blindness? Sight without vision."

"The only things we get to keep are that which we've given away."

Here's the list of Peter's Phenomenal Coaching Questions:

1. When am I at my best?
2. What will I never do?
3. What one word best defines me?

Who am I? What do I want? Why do I want it?

"To be a leader; do what you love in the service of people who love what you do." Steven Farber

Before responding, STOP - Stop, Take a Breath, Observe, Proceed.

If you've never experienced Victoria's annual Symphony Splash, it needs to be your next thing! For the past 30 years, it's been delighting hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world. Peter made it happen!

Peter ends this remarkable episode by echoing the great Joseph Campbell's words of advice: Follow your Bliss.
