What does it take to build a legacy from behind the scenes? In this powerful episode of The Lucky Hustle, we sit down with Tracy Falchi, the powerhouse producer and driving force behind FineTune Studios—one of South Africa's premier audio production facilities.

From her roots as a keyboardist in a rock band to steering multi-million rand projects, Tracy pulls back the curtain on the grueling, often unseen world of production. Discover:

🎹 From Rockstar to Powerhouse: How her journey from the stage to the studio taught her the discipline and passion needed to thrive in advertising's most demanding role.
⚡ The Producer's Playbook: Her mantra for success—"Make the client's life easy"—and why being proactive, not reactive, is the ultimate key to client loyalty and business growth.
🤯 "Herding Kittens in a Rainstorm": A raw look at the intense pressure of production, managing creative personalities, and the leadership required to deliver world-class work under insane deadlines.
🤖 Embracing the AI Revolution: Why FineTune isn't scared of artificial intelligence but is instead investing in it to create new efficiencies and serve clients faster than ever before.
💔 The Price of Passion: The unbelievable story of taking client calls while in labor and why obsession—not just balance—is required to build something extraordinary.

This is a masterclass in resilience, client service, and the unsung hustle that makes the creative world turn. If you've ever wondered what it truly takes to lead from the back, this episode is for you.

Tune in to The Lucky Hustle every Friday for conversations with the leaders, innovators, and hustlers shaping South Africa.
