Navigating the Live Music Landscape with Maiju Talvisto

What does it really take to lead with integrity in one of the most chaotic, high-energy industries in the world? In this episode of Pink Nest, Nika sits down with Maiju Talvisto, a live music executive with nearly two decades of experience working with top artists and shaping festival culture, for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about leadership, identity, and what it means to build something meaningful in the music industry. Maiju takes us back to the childhood experiences that quietly shaped her leadership style, and shares how she found herself ,almost by accident carving out a career at the heart of live music. From managing the creative chaos of high-pressure productions to navigating the deeply male-dominated landscape of the festival world, her story is one of resilience, clarity, and staying true to your values even when the industry pushes back. Together, Nika and Maiju dig into the real conversations the events world often avoids: the disproportionate emotional labor carried by women in event settings, the ethical responsibilities of leaders in fast-moving environments, and why smaller festivals are crying out for structural support. Maiju also shares insights from her book, a resource written to bridge the knowledge gap for the next generation of event professionals, and reflects on why understanding your own values isn't just a nice-to-have, it's the foundation of everything. Whether you're an event professional, a festival lover, a woman navigating a tough industry, or simply someone who believes leadership should be kinder and more conscious, this episode is for you. In this episode, we cover: How childhood shapes the leaders we become Finding your path in the live music industry (even when it's unexpected) What ethical, transparent leadership actually looks like on the ground The unique pressures and emotional labor women carry in event spaces Why cultural programming must evolve to reach younger audiences The funding crisis facing smaller festivals, and what needs to change Maiju's book and why she felt compelled to write it. 📌 Don’t forget to subscribe for more tools for beautifully different brains. 🌐*WEBSITE:* https://pinknestpodcast.com 📷*INSTAGRAM:* @pinknestpodcast ℹ️*DISCLAIMER:* This podcast is for informational purposes only.
