Ever wondered what your favorite entrepreneur’s go-to pump up song is?
I have.
That’s why I ask every guest who comes on my show about it in my random round of questions at the end of each interview.
Asking them about their favorite pump-up song often catches them off guard, plus I get some great suggestions for my personal playlist.
But there’s a deeper reason why I ask the question.

Music Makes it Easier to Connect With People
But when you share the same taste in music as someone else, an instant connection is formed.
It’s one of the easiest networking “hacks” there is.
Sharing great taste in music creates familiarity, which you can build on, and eventually turn into a deeper connection and longer-lasting relationship.
And let’s not forget…
Listening to (Good) Music Can Help You Perform Better
According to Harvard, listening to music has benefits for our brains, mood, and movement.
It can either fire you up or help you relax.

Maybe you’ve got a big event or presentation coming up…
Or maybe you just want to crush your next workout.
Regardless of what your goals are, studies show that listening to pump-up songs can:
- Ease workouts
- Reduce fatigue
- And increase athletic performance
Now that we’ve covered why listening to pump-up songs is a good idea…
Let’s get down to it.
