As a Prince fan, you know I am super excited about this episode! Hear about the amazing music career journey of Dr. Susan Rogers, staff engineer who worked by Prince's side during the making of the iconic Purple Rain album and movie, Sign 'o the Times and other incredible recordings. During our chat we discuss grit, knowing what you want, 10,000 hours, the special skill of active listening, making the shift to academia and the study of psychoacoustics, and her expert work at Berklee College of Music as Director of Berklee Music Perception and Cognition Laboratory.
