The Inimitable Hartley Peavey

I had a chance to speak with Hartley Peavey last week at length, and once again I have to say: If he wasn't so busy running Peavey Electronics, he could easily be a motivational speaker. There's an old saying I pay a lot of attention to: Always think twice about taking advice from someone less successful than yourself. By that definition, Hartley is someone you should listen to - he's a long-time, worldwide success whose products are used & endorsed by some of the most famous & talented musicians in the world - and funnier than hell, too.


There are always plenty of folks out there building their products, starting businesses from their garages, etc.. but what is it about some people that know how to get their brands to soar, while most others fall by the wayside? It's an interesting question, and I'm always curious to hear the perspective & philosophy of those rare people like Hartley.  Another interview soon with him soon (this time with cooking & food)?
