Eric Church on Vision and Confidence: Keys to Success in Music and Beyond
When Eric Church was on the “How Leaders Lead with David Novak” podcast back in 2024 he talked about his journey through music and business. The country star opened up about his music and his ownership stake in the Charlotte Hornets.
Two key things stood out from Church’s conversation – his unwavering belief in himself and his ability to set clear goals. These qualities, he said, were essential when making deals in both the music industry and pro sports.
Church explained why planning is important in creative work. He emphasized that artists need to lock down their vision before seeking support from others. Church says, “And for me, that has been clear throughout my entire career. If you don’t have the vision, you can’t expect anybody else to have it for you.”
Switching from music talk, Church got into the basics of running any business successfully. His discussion showed how hits and business success often follow the same rules.
What Church shared rings true for people in many industries. His insights are valuable for both upcoming artists and new entrepreneurs.
This is Church’s first public discussion since investing in the Hornets. His experience in both music and sports business gives weight to his advice about succeeding in different fields.
The star’s advice fits well with current trends. Industry experts note that more performers now combine artistic work with smart business decisions.
