Some of the most impactful people in music don’t fit into just one box — they’re polymaths. With deep skills across multiple areas, polymaths bring fresh perspectives, connect ideas others might miss, and spark innovation at every turn. Join industry powerhouses John McHugh — A&R and Music Marketing record and film label veteran, feature/documentary filmmaker, Guild of Music Supervisors co-founder, & Chair of Music Business Studies at Loyola University — and Ted Cohen, whose career spans artist development, music video production, and media technology. They’ll share how embracing a polymath mindset has shaped their work and why building broad skill sets can open doors, fuel creativity, and keep you ahead in today’s ever-changing music industry.
