Summary

In this episode Rich talks to Larry Jackson, Global Creative Director of Apple Music. The self-described “conduit of culture” is one of the music industry’s most influential behind-the-scenes savants. Jackson helped launch Apple's game-changing entertainment service, Apple Music. Along his ground-breaking journey, he’s worked alongside music giants like Clive Davis, Jimmy Iovine and Doctor Dre; championed artist-hosted radio (including L’il Wayne’s Young Money Radio); and produced legendary artists like Whitney Houston and Jennifer Hudson. But perhaps the most unlikely early chapter of Jackson’s story involves him running one of the country’s top radio stations while still in high school. A good friend of Rich’s and a former boss of Gianni's, Jackson is a quintessential Out of Office guest—dropping inspiration, never-before-told music biz anecdotes, and sage business insights.

0:42.5	y'all wouldn't play me. We would not. To be honest, and we were conscious about this when we
0:49.8	started, we're not going to play anybody, but especially we're not going to play you.
0:54.3	No, I appreciate that.
0:55.1	You know, one of the kind of goals of this podcast, and for me and Gianni, is that the people
1:02.6	that inspired me growing up, and if I was a young 20-something right now in any form of the
1:09.3	entertainment business, someone like
1:11.4	you would be someone that I looked up to, is that in our world, you're not behind the scenes,
1:16.7	but to a mass audience, you know, you check the boxes behind the scenes. So for me, so many listeners
1:23.6	and so many people won't know who you are until they hear this podcast, but what they don't
1:29.5	know is that you have created and produced and impacted their lives in so many ways. Tell me
1:37.4	how you think you would best describe yourself to somebody that asked you, I guess the cliche
1:42.7	question, what do you do for a living? Yeah, it's a good
