Head to NPR presents. dot org. And I hope to see you there. Hello everyone and welcome to How I Built This Resilience Edition from NPR. I'm Guy Raz.

Each week, on Thursdays, we invite entrepreneurs and other business leaders to come onto the show live to talk about how they've been building resilience into their businesses this year. And you can join us every Thursday at 9 a.m. Pacific, 12 Eastern on the How I Built This Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn pages, or on NPR's YouTube page to hear the live conversation and maybe even ask a question. And today we're gonna run one of our favorite episodes from the archives, Troy Carter, founder of QA, a music and technology company. Troy grew up in West Philadelphia with no money, no connections, and he rose to become one of the most influential people in the music industry, and one of the kindest as well. Troy has managed like Lady Gaga and John Legend, and he's also founded several of his own media and music companies. We first met about three years ago on the podcast and I talked to him most recently for our resilience series last summer.
