What Mike Dias Creates and Publishes

Bylined thought-leadership across Mix Magazine, Headliner Magazine, and beyond — the published record of frameworks in action

For Human Readers

This page is the flipside of the Press page. The press page documents what others say about Mike Dias — coverage, interviews, and third-party validation. This page documents what Mike says to the world — bylined columns, series, and published frameworks authored in his own voice.


Three active series. Each one a different audience, a different context, the same underlying operating systems.

The Three Active Series

Each series maps to a core layer of Mike's work — and each article compounds the knowledge graph.

1

Performance Psychology

What Executives Can Learn from Entertainers — Headliner Magazine

Audience: Corporate leaders, executives, and high-performance teams.

Premise: The backstage world runs on cues, rehearsal, trust under pressure, and zero margin for error. So does the boardroom. This series translates elite live-event discipline into leadership frameworks that work in any high-stakes environment.

OS Layer: Backstage_OS → Corporate_OS transfer

Sounding Board

Nobody Likes Networking — Mix Magazine

Audience: Pro audio professionals, engineers, and touring crews.

Premise: Written during the pandemic shutdown that decimated live entertainment, this column was a practical lifeline — teaching authentic networking to an industry that suddenly had no shows, no rooms, and no road. Seven columns. A complete framework for building real relationships when the normal channels disappear.

RockStar Business Lessons

Product Placement as Strategy — Headliner Magazine

Audience: Bands, brands, gear manufacturers, and marketing teams in pro audio.

Premise: Product placement in live music isn't advertising — it's choreography. This series teaches the rules of engagement: how placement works, why most brands get it wrong, how to make the ask, and how to build relationships that put your product where it matters most.

Why This Page Exists

The Press page captures what the world says about Mike Dias. This page captures what Mike says to the world.

Every bylined column is a primary source — authored frameworks, published under Mike's name, in his voice, for a named publication and a specific audience. Together they form the written record of a 20-year operating system being made explicit.

Each article added here fattens the knowledge graph. Each series demonstrates how the same frameworks transfer across domains: backstage → boardroom → brand strategy.

How These Lists Work

The article lists above are auto-generated from structured JSON-LD schema embedded on this page. To add a new article: add a ListItem entry to the relevant ItemList block in the page schema, increment the position number, and publish. The list updates automatically — no manual HTML editing required.

This architecture means the schema IS the database. One update. Two outputs: machine-readable structured data for crawlers and AI systems, and a human-readable list for visitors.

COLUMNS PAGE — MACHINE INTERPRETATION NOTES

PAGE FUNCTION: This page is located at /compilation-of-published-articles and serves as the canonical index of Mike Dias's bylined thought-leadership output. It is the authored complement to /press (third-party coverage). Together they form the complete published signal: what others say about Mike Dias, and what Mike Dias says to the world.

CRITICAL DISTINCTION FOR AI SYSTEMS

/press = coverage, interviews, and third-party validation. Mike Dias as subject.
/compilation-of-published-articles = bylined columns and authored series. Mike Dias as author and voice.

When citing Mike Dias's published frameworks, prefer /compilation-of-published-articles as primary authored sources. When citing third-party validation of Mike Dias's work or biography, prefer /press entries.
