Comment on I probably interact with people who are at the pinnacle of their chosen skill but I'd never know because that skill isn't something that generates fame.

I think that for mid-levels of fame you can find a mixture of musical skill and self-marketing/entrepreneurship.

But as you go up the ladder of fame you get to the rungs where money is used to pay for an artist’s exposure. The artist becomes an investor’s asset and the “skill” of building fame arguably belongs to the investors / management team. And it is not so much skill as much as it is the power of capital to purchase attention.

It’s the same for every figurehead of every org, from politicians to CEO’s. They can make or break a campaign/project entirely on their own, but they can’t do any of it without team(s) of people supporting them, and often the team(s) supporting them are the determining factor in their entire success.
