Description: In this clip from The Manager’s Playbook, Didier Morais, founder of Vital Versatility PR, breaks down the part of the music business that decides who lasts: mindset, leadership, and staying calm under pressure.We talk through the transition from journalism to music PR, what it feels like to rebuild from scratch, and why the best publicists, managers, and executives don’t obsess over outcomes, they obsess over process, preparation, and control of the controllables.This is a conversation about mental toughness, compartmentalization, and the reality of operating in high-stakes environments where plans change fast and people depend on you to stay steady. We also break down team building, transparent communication, and the skill that separates great operators from average ones: reading the room (psychology, tone, and body language).If you’re an aspiring publicist, artist manager, independent operator, or music entrepreneur, this clip is a reminder that strategy isn’t just marketing, it’s how you lead when pressure shows up.Simply put, a conversation like this doesn't come cheap.Listen to the full episode here -Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/episode/00plMHeDM5JcAJkZv9UpLo?si=LbtAneI0QxOfiADies0SEwWatch the Episodes On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@managersplaybook
