Alan Wick’s story begins with rebellion: a kid who hated school, fell in love with drumming, and genuinely believed his band was headed for stardom. When the record deal never came, he spotted a different opportunity: supplying sound equipment to other musicians. A move that quietly set the course for the rest of his career.
What followed was a remarkable arc. Alan became a live sound-engineer for The Jam, then founded Turbosound, the audio company that went on to serve acts from Pink Floyd to Ella Fitzgerald and even win a Queen’s Award for Export. Later, after selling (and eventually buying back) the business, he shifted into a new chapter: helping founders build companies with purpose, creativity, and heart.
Today, Alan works as a coach and advisor to entrepreneurs, driven not by scale for its own sake but by the belief that business can be a vehicle for meaning. A perspective shaped by decades in music, technology, and a life-altering health scare that reshaped what success really means to him.
