Today’s episode is a “round two” with Justin Locke. After playing double bass for many years with the Boston Pops, Justin is now a management coach, speaker, author, and playwright.

We talk about many concepts, including the Toyota Lean Manufacturing system and how it relates to the Simandl technique, crazy stories from the Boston Pops, arts education, lessons from the music world that can be applied to the corporate world, workflow and timing, the “Mozart in the Jungle” effect that Justin has experienced, and his latest book that explores the physics of emotional energy.

Check out the original interview from nearly a decade ago here.
