I'm excited! Dan Truman, award-winning pianist, composer and member of Diamond Rio, will be speaking at the BYU Management Society (BYUMS) luncheon here in Las Vegas tomorrow.
Dan's an incredibly talented performer as is his wife, Wendy. His visit is personally meaningful to me because of his wife's influence on me when I was a young teenager and they were a young couple at BYU. Unknown to her, Wendy inspired me with a comment she made to a small group of teenagers she was teaching in a "Singing Entertainer" workshop at BYU in 1981. While suggesting a minor change to the lyrics of a popular song we were to record, she made a passing comment about how we each choose what we promote in life. For some reason, it hit my 14-year old mind like a lightning bolt and has stuck with me all these years. She'll never know how she influenced me for good.
Anyway, Dan is flying out from Nashville to speak to our group about the unique opportunities and challenges of a professional career in the music industry. I've been extremely involved in establishing a local chapter of the Management Society and am excited to hear his message as it relates to BYUMS' international theme of "Growing Moral & Ethical Leadership" in the world.
