"Surround yourself with a team that you are the weakest link because you’re only going to be as strong as your weakest link, and if you are the weakest link, then odds are you will probably be a really good team if you’re a driven and hardworking person."
- Jenna Meyer, quoting her uncle, Matthew Pauls
Many of you are aware of the Common Ground Music Festival every summer here in Lansing. Well, the family-owned company that makes Common Ground happen is the Meridian Entertainment Group. Today, I got to interview Jenna Meyer from MEG, who has grown up in her family’s business, which was founded by her father, Kevin Meyer.
We touch on a lot great things in this interview, from how MEG manages all of the moving parts that go into putting on the multiple festivals in their name around the country and Canada, to workout routines, why failure is a good thing, and the importance of surrounding yourself with a team of people who are smarter than you. Needless to say, a lot of great little life gems to take away from this interview, and it was an absolute pleasure to chat with Jenna.
But enough of my summarizing. Without further adieu, enter the world of Jenna Meyer.
