## Resource

What happens when a Beatle walks into the room? In this highlight from my full interview with Barry Greenfield—author of All You Need Is Courage —he shares a true story from 1968 that says everything about the presence of Ringo Starr. Barry was in the studio with Harry Nilsson when suddenly… everything changed. But that’s where reality meets imagination. Barry really did audition for Apple Records in 1968—and turned down the chance to be a performer because he wanted to be a songwriter. His book explores the ultimate “what if”: what would have happened if he said yes? This clip captures the moment that inspired it all—when the energy in the room shifted, and nothing else mattered.
