Sarah McTaggart of Transviolet

Author: Dr. Bill Dorfman® April 17, 2024 Duration: 21:48
Meet Sarah McTaggart, a musician who began in church choirs before studying animation in college, shares her journey from open mic nights to leading Transviolet - a band that soared after Katy Perry tweeted about their song "Girls Your Age." Sarah met her husband Chris through music; they taught each other piano and guitar respectively. Their passion led to Transviolet's formation in 2015 when they had to rethink their original name due to legal reasons. Now independent artists running their own label since 2019, Transviolet plans a European tour while Sarah dreams of Grammys performances within five years. She advises aspiring musicians not to fear imperfection but embrace it as growth towards excellence despite industry competitiveness or self-doubt. As Dr. Bill closes out his enthusiastic recounting of Sarah’s story—with hopes for his daughter Ana opening on Transviolet’s upcoming tour—he reminds listeners that perseverance turns obstacles into stepping stones toward success.

Each week on the Dr. Bill Dorfman® Podcast presents Meet the Mentor® Series, you’ll find a conversation that feels more like a personal introduction than a formal interview. Hosted by Dr. Bill Dorfman himself-known widely as a celebrity dentist and New York Times best-selling author, but also as the founder of The LEAP Foundation-this podcast creates a space where accomplished mentors from diverse fields pull up a chair.

The discussions naturally delve into the lessons learned through failure, the pivotal moments of guidance they received, and the practical wisdom they now pass on. While the podcast sits within the Education, Family, and Kids categories, its appeal is broad, offering insights valuable to anyone curious about personal growth and leadership. Listeners will hear genuine, unrehearsed dialogue that highlights how mentorship can transform a career and a life, all through Dr. Dorfman’s engaging and curious perspective. It’s a consistent weekly resource for those looking to learn from the best, in a format that emphasizes connection over lecture.
