From Working Security To Managing Corporate Partnerships, A Lesson In Persistence On Your Career Journey

An interview with Bryan Schiller, Strategic Partnerships Manager at The Grammy Museum Foundation, on persistence and career growth from security work to corporate partnerships.

Bryan Schiller is a powerhouse of enthusiasm and energy, and it's no surprise that he is where he is in his career. Persistence is the best word to describe Bryan's career journey. Currently, he is the Strategic Partnerships Manager at the Grammy Museum, but the road to this position will shock and inspire you.

His career kicked off with an interest in law enforcement, which, due to a few less than ideal experiences in security, moved him away from that path until an opportunity presented itself. Bryan's persistence and enthusiasm for the work he does, and specifically the mission of the Grammy Museum, will inspire you.

One of the best parts of his story is how he owns every career situation, good and bad, that he's experienced. He knows where he messed up and has interwoven those experiences into his career story to make him a stronger employee and team member.

The power of LinkedIn shows up twice in this high-energy interview: first in how Bryan and Julia are connected and have been for many years through LinkedIn (she helped him start his LinkedIn page and prepare his first professional resume), and next in how Bryan got connected with AEG, which eventually led to his Grammy Museum position by connecting with a recruiter on LinkedIn after a networking event.
