Summary
Jason Flom (@itsjasonflom) is the founder and CEO of Lava Records responsible for launching acts such as Katy Perry, Kid Rock, and Lorde, a philanthropist who has supported and championed various political and social causes, the host of podcast Wrongful Conviction with Jason Flom, and the co-author of Lulu Is a Rhinoceros.
What We Discuss with Jason Flom:- Why Jason has always rooted for the underdog -- from bullied siblings to sports teams to endangered species to the wrongfully incarcerated -- and how he's passed this sensibility along to the next generation of Floms.

- The role relationships play at the top of the music game -- one of the most competitive industries on the planet.
- What we can learn from the wrongfully convicted, and why many of us are -- for the grace of good fortune -- just a hair away from a similar fate.
- Why Jason's bulldog is actually a rhinoceros and what he hopes this lesson will teach us about tolerance.
- And much more...

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with my producer Jason de |
| 0:04.3 | Philipo. Today's discussion is with my friend Jason Flom. He is a music industry executive |
| 0:11.1 | to say the least. He's the CEO of Lava Records, but he's been the chairman and CEO of Atlantic, |
| 0:16.4 | Virgin, Capital Music. He founded Lava Records himself. He's a philanthropist who supported |
| 0:21.4 | and championed a lot of causes and hosts the wrongful conviction podcast as well. And |
| 0:27.4 | today we're a little bit of a dive into both the music industry and into the prison system. |
| 0:34.4 | We're going to learn how one stays relevant in an industry, well, the music industry, |
| 0:38.0 | which is always asking, what have you done for me lately? We'll explore the role relationships |
| 0:42.1 | play at the top of the music game, one of the most competitive industries on the planet, |
| 0:47.4 | and we'll discover what we can learn from the wrongfully convicted and why many of us |

| 1:26.2 | outlet for me and it gives me a chance to talk about a lot of the things that we're going to talk |
| 1:29.5 | about today. So my Instagram is it's Jason Flom, ITS Jason Flom, but yeah, it's my book. I'm so excited, |
| 1:36.4 | Jordan, because my book is coming out on Father's Day. It's available for pre-order now on Amazon |
| 1:40.4 | and Barnes and Noble.com. And my book is called Lulu is a rhinoceros. Lulu is my bulldog, but Lulu is |
