School of Rock, the worldwide music phenomenon that specializes in teaching kids of all ages how to play like their favorite rock stars, has been on the up for over two decades now and shows no signs of stopping.
In this conversation with Rob Price, who has been president and CEO since 2017, we speak to him about the brand, what it offers its students, the success of its alumni, and why, for him, it's not just about the global growth of the business, but how it positively impacts the lives of the people involved.
From not being intimidated by your own leadership deficiencies to what musical escapism can provide in these trying times, this wide-ranging conversation with Rob covers everything from business to global growth, leadership to mentorship. And, of course, the beauty of rock music. Turn it up to 11!

When ActionCOACH began in 1993, Brad ‘The Turnaround Kid’ Sugars started the professional coaching business in his own bedroom – on account of not being able to afford much-needed office space. It turns out that this wasn’t quite the hurdle it might’ve seemed, because he soon went international (to New Zealand in 1994), and now manages a network of nearly 1,000 coaches in more than 80 countries.
As the founder and CEO of “the original business coaching company”, Brad provides essential insight into what it takes to grow and nurture such a world-spanning network of franchisees; lessons learned from a lifetime of growth and achievement. He breaks down the adaptations ActionCOACH incorporated when penetrating entirely new markets, and the perks that come with embracing diversity in your team.
