My guest today is legendary attorney Michael Marino. But why, you may ask, have I interviewed a LAWYER for All Things Vocal? Well, if you’re a singer, speaker, musician, songwriter, or any creative wanting to do it for a living, there WILL be contracts and other agreements to negotiate, and there will be pain if we fail to get these legal obligations right. In this interview with me, Michael generously shared a masterclass of advice that would cost quite a bit if he charged his usual hourly fee!

Why Learning To Negotiate Is A Holy Art
… and yes, it is in my humble opinion. I am deeply indebted to Michael Marino for this interview. The world is too hot-blooded everywhere right now. We need to learn to listen, not just speak, and to value the soul across the table from us in our negotiations. I love Michael’s focus on making deals that are win-win, with respect and empathy for the ‘other side’. How much better would we all be if we could embrace this practice? As creatives, we can move people with our work. We can also move the needle with the way we interact and yes – negotiate – with people every day. I say let’s do it! What do you think?
