Booking agent Nick Storch joins us for a sharp and insightful conversation about building a career in the music industry and staying grounded while doing it. Nick shares his path from Lancaster, PA, to becoming one of the most trusted agents in heavy music, reflecting on the early influences and community that shaped him.
We dig into the realities of balancing family life with a demanding career, navigating personal and professional relationships, and defining what success actually looks like. Nick talks about the importance of kindness, vulnerability, and saying yes to opportunities — even when they feel uncertain.
We also get into the legacy of bands like Metallica, the unique moments that make this industry unforgettable, and the joy that keeps him inspired after years in the industry.
A thoughtful, honest, and encouraging look at the business behind the music.
