Tom Hooten is the Principal Trumpet in the Los Angeles Philharmonic.  From Daniel Morrison: “In my opinion, Tom is among the best, if not the best, orchestral trumpet players in the world. His sound is undeniable, he NEVER misses, and he commands the ensemble from the back of the orchestra. In talking to him, he has figured out how to take the immense pressure of these moments and turn them into fuel for greater performance. He thrives off the adrenaline and scale of the moment. I think there are so many implications of this mindset that span professions. It could help student musicians, it could help conductors, it could help leaders going into a high-stakes meeting, etc. I just think it is massive. Tom is incredible and this conversation is great.”
