Welcome to How Leaders Lead, where every week you get to listen in while I interview some of the very best leaders in the world.

I break down the key learning so that by the end of the episode, you'll have something simple that you can apply as you develop into a better leader.

That's what this podcast is all about.

Now, of course, every leader knows how important listening is, but how often do we break it down and try to understand what it actually

means to be a good listener? Today's guest can really help us answer that question. I'm talking

with Rob Light, managing partner

of Creative Artist Agency, the world's largest talent and sports agency. He's the head of their

music division, and he has represented some huge names like Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Prince,

Duolipa, and more. And he reminds us, we can accomplish so much

more as leaders when we learn to listen. For Rob, it helps him land new clients, strike great

deals, and spot breakthrough opportunities in the market. In this conversation, you'll see how he

does it. Plus, you'll hear some super fun stories along the way.

So here's my conversation with my good friend and soon to be yours, Rob Light.

Rob, thanks so much for being on the show.

Dave, I'm excited to be here, especially having listened to so many of your great podcasts.

I'm very honored to be a part of that group.

Great.

You're going to make it even better.

I can tell you that.

You know, Rob, I want to get into your leadership story and the way you lead.

But first, tell us a little about CAA,

your music division and the type of clients you have.
