Podcast appearances and mentions of Warner Music Group

In this week's episode of The Second Act Executive, host Tawnie Wolf explores leadership, investing, wellness, and personal growth in an increasingly digital world.The conversation begins with a recap of last week's discussion on artificial intelligence, online safety, digital responsibility, and why critical thinking has become one of the most important skills for future generations. Tawnie also examines the rise of celebrity founded brands and how personal branding, social media, and entrepreneurship are reshaping modern business.In this week's Capital and Clarity Market Brief, listeners receive an executive overview of NVIDIA, Palantir Technologies, Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT), and Warner Music Group, along with insights into the difference between trading, investing, and ownership.The episode also explores elder care advocacy, healthy aging, confidence after fifty, dating and relationships in the second half of life, and why many people discover greater fulfillment by focusing less on online validation and more on building meaningful lives offline.Drawing from her personal journey, Tawnie shares how The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle helped her reconnect with mindfulness, presence, wellness, and self-awareness, leading to a deeper appreciation for life, purpose, and authentic confidence.This episode is a reminder that success is not only about what we build, but also about our ability to be present enough to enjoy it.“The ones who know that it is your second act that matters most.” Hosted by Tawnie Wolf#TheSecondActExecutive #Leadership #Investing #ArtificialIntelligence #HealthyAging #Mindfulness #ThePowerOfNow #Wellness #SecondAct #WolfVibrations #CapitalAndClarity #Purpose #Presence #Prosperity #RealConfidence

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this 'hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 15 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. Lizbeth Alvarez, Corporate Communications Manager at Warner Music Group, starts us off today when she sits down to speak with Madeline White. Lizbeth traces her career path from broadcast journalism student to PR professional, crediting a pivotal narrative writing class with sparking her love of storytelling and brand communication, and reflecting on the mentors who shaped her along the way. Lizbeth opens up about the fast-paced, ever-changing environment of working in entertainment and one of her proudest professional moments: helping emerging country music songwriters gain the recognition they deserve. Looking ahead, she predicts that nostalgia, authenticity, and technology will drive the next wave of audience engagement, and she closes with advice for aspiring PR professionals that says it all: market yourself the same way you have practiced marketing others. Mia Reyes helps to conclude our episode via her conversation with Sophie Roth. Sophie, who is an Assistant to the Chairman and CEO at a major global sports, music, and entertainment marketing and talent agency shares the projects that have excited her most. She and Mia discuss the skills that define success in the role, and Sophie also speaks directly to students who feel lost in their post-grad search, reminding them that everyone's timeline looks different and that her own path involved a healthy dose of luck.

Making a Scene Presents - The Suno-Warner Deal: When Big Music Stops Fighting AI and Starts Designing It Something important just happened in the music business, and indie artists need to pay attention. Warner Music Group and Suno announced a partnership built around licensed AI music. Under the deal, the companies will work on next-generation licensed models, Warner artists can opt in to AI experiences using their names, images, likenesses, voices, and compositions, and Suno will make major product changes in 2026, including phasing out its current models, requiring paid accounts for downloads, limiting downloads on paid tiers, and keeping unlimited downloads inside Suno Studio. As part of the same broader agreement, Suno also acquired Songkick from Warner. That sounds like a product story. It sounds like a legal story. It sounds like one more AI headline in a year full of AI headlines. But for independent artists, it is really a power story. The Suno-Warner deal is one of the clearest signs yet that major music companies are moving from trying to fight generative AI from the outside to trying to shape it from the inside. Warner itself said the partnership is meant to forge a “blueprint for a next-generation licensed AI music platform.” Reuters also reported that Warner settled its infringement case with Suno so the company could move toward licensed models. http://www.makingascene.org

Grammy-winning vocal group Roomful of Teeth and singer-songwriter/composer Gabriel Kahane will release the new concept album ‘Elevator Songs' tomorrow via Octoverse Media and Warner Music Group's Arts Music. We are joined by Gabriel Kahane and artistic director of Roomful of Teeth, Cameron Beauchamp.

Podcast ONE: 27 de marzo de 2026 Disney pierde $1B tras cierre de Sora. Suno 5.5 genera canciones con tu voz. @vincent_quezada y @zoomdigitaltv en #one_digital #onedigital #PodcastONE ¡Escúchalo! Escucha aquí el Podcast ONE: 27 de marzo de 2026 Facebook Live One Digital: Último viernes de marzo 2026 — IA cancelada, Suno 5.5, gadgets Dreamy y nostalgia Marvel Resumen: En este episodio del viernes 27 de marzo de 2026 — último viernes del tercer mes del año —, Vincent Quezada y Pablo Berruecos analizan desde São Paulo y Ciudad de México el cierre de Sora y el fin del acuerdo Disney–OpenAI, el lanzamiento de Suno 5.5 con personalización vocal por IA (usado en vivo para estrenar la nueva música de One Digital), la antología Marvel Maximum Collection, el debut de Kena: Bridge of Spirits en Nintendo Switch 2, el evento Dreame en México con aspiradoras robóticas, purificadores y cerraduras inteligentes, la plataforma satelital de imágenes de ESRI para gobierno y empresas, Revisión de SONOS Play, Nothing Headphone (a) y Phone 4 (a) Pro, Guía Michelín en Jalisco, Perú Service Summit, Kai Terasu en Polanco y la decisión judicial en Los Ángeles que obliga a redes sociales a pagar por adicción en menores. Sora muere: Disney pierde su apuesta de mil millones con OpenAI El 24 de marzo de 2026, Disney confirmó el fin de su acuerdo con OpenAI luego de que la empresa decidiera cerrar Sora, su plataforma de generación de videos mediante inteligencia artificial. El convenio, anunciado en diciembre de 2025, prometía revolucionar la creación de contenido permitiendo que usuarios generaran videos cortos con personajes de Disney, Marvel, Pixar y Star Wars. La inversión total comprometida era de 1,000 millones de dólares para integrar más de 200 personajes en contenido generado por usuarios. El cierre se debió a una combinación de factores: calidad inconsistente, problemas de originalidad, cuestionamientos éticos y —según Vincent— los costos operativos insostenibles de mantener la plataforma. Error visual recurrente: Los videos generados presentaban incoherencias que dañaban la reputación de las marcas involucradas. Riesgo legal: Garantizar que el contenido no recreara material existente sin autorización era técnicamente insoluble en esa etapa. La decisión real: OpenAI redirigió su inversión hacia proyectos más rentables — Sora no era sostenible en su forma actual. ¿Qué sigue para Disney? Las alternativas evaluadas incluyen Runway ML, Stability AI, desarrollo interno (al estilo de cómo Netflix creó su sistema de recomendaciones) o alianzas con Meta y Google. “Tener inteligencia inicial no significa que haya recursos para poderlo tener. Si no hay dinero, no hay desarrollos” — Vincent Quezada Suno 5.5: tu voz, tu estilo, tus canciones generadas por IA Vincent Quezada dedicó una extensa guía al lanzamiento de Suno versión 5.5 (26 de marzo de 2026), la actualización más significativa de la plataforma de generación musical con IA. El cambio filosófico es claro: las versiones anteriores mejoraban la calidad del audio generado; esta versión apunta a que ese audio se parezca cada vez más a quien lo crea. One Digital estrenó su nueva música de apertura del programa usando precisamente esta herramienta. Las tres nuevas funciones clave de Suno 5.5 Voices: La función más solicitada por la comunidad. Captura tu propia voz mediante grabación en vivo o carga de audio y la usa para generar canciones. Incluye verificación cruzando voz cantada con frase hablada aleatoria. Voces privadas — solo el creador puede usarlas. Disponible en planes Pro y Premier. Custom Models: Entrena una versión personalizada de Suno 5.5 con música de tu propio catálogo. Hasta 3 modelos por suscriptor Pro/Premier. El modelo aprende tu estilo y genera composiciones coherentes con él. MyTaste: Personalización progresiva. Con el uso, Suno aprende los géneros y estados de ánimo a los que vuelves y los incorpora como contexto. Disponible en todos los planes, incluido el gratuito. Planes y precios de Suno Gratuito: 50 créditos diarios, acceso a MyTaste, sin derechos comerciales, restricciones de exportación. Pro ($10–$96 USD/año): ~500 canciones al mes, derechos comerciales, Voices, hasta 5 Custom Models, acceso completo a Suno Studio. Premier (~$30 USD/mes): ~2,000 canciones al mes, costo por canción de ~$0.04 USD. Orientado a producción en volumen continuo. Guía de instrucciones que realmente funcionan en Suno 5.5 Vincent compartió la metodología desarrollada por One Digital tras cientos de pruebas con el plan gratuito: Estructura básica del prompt: Género y estilo (ancla del sonido) → Tiempo en BPM (número exacto, no descripción) → Instrumentación con exclusiones (“sin percusión”, “sin autotono”) → Dirección vocal (género, tono, estilo o Voices activo) → Estado de ánimo → Calidad de producción (“mezcla limpia”, “sin distorsión”). Etiquetas de estructura: Usar [Intro], [Verse], [Chorus], [Bridge], [Outro] directamente en el campo de letra. En Suno 5.5 el modelo las procesa como señales de control reales, no como sugerencias. Generar múltiples versiones: Los usuarios avanzados generan entre 5 y 10 versiones antes de elegir la definitiva — cambios pequeños en el prompt producen variaciones importantes. Custom Model progresivo: Sube pistas en lotes pequeños con coherencia de estilo; los resultados mejoran a medida que el modelo acumula referencias de tu catálogo. La guía completa — incluyendo cómo cambió el comportamiento del modelo de la v3.5 a la v5.5 — está publicada en la página de One Digital. El contexto financiero de Suno también es relevante: en noviembre de 2025 cerró una ronda Serie C de 250 millones de dólares, alcanzando una valoración de 2,450 millones de dólares, y anunció una asociación con Warner Music Group para desarrollar la próxima generación de modelos musicales en colaboración con artistas. Marvel Maximum Collection: 13 juegos clásicos en una antología definitiva Vincent Quezada presentó esta antología desarrollada por Dimitri Hull Games que reúne 13 versiones de 6 títulos icónicos de arcade para NES, Super NES, Mega Drive y consolas portátiles. Lanzada el 27 de marzo de 2026 para PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X y Nintendo Switch. Títulos incluidos: X-Men: The Arcade Game (hasta 6 jugadores con rollback netcode), Captain America and the Avengers, Maximum Carnage, Separation Anxiety, Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin y Silver Surfer. Funciones modernas: Rebobinado, estados de guardado, menú de trucos con vidas infinitas, filtros CRT con líneas de exploración, reproductor de música integrado con toda la banda sonora chiptune y biblioteca de portadas, manuales y anuncios originales en alta resolución. Idiomas: Español, francés, italiano, alemán, japonés y portugués de Brasil. Edición física: Disponible con portada foil, stickers y booklets exclusivos a través de Limited Run Games. “No lo veo como museo, sino como preservación histórica. Cuando uno conserva ese tipo de elementos, permite que los usuarios vean cómo era la época” — Vincent Quezada Kena: Bridge of Spirits llega a Nintendo Switch 2 con calidad de película Vincent Quezada presentó la llegada de Kena: Bridge of Spirits (Ember Labs) a Nintendo Switch 2, disponible desde el 26 de marzo de 2026 con un descuento especial de lanzamiento del 20%. Esta versión es la edición definitiva que incluye todo el contenido post-lanzamiento, incluida la actualización de aniversario. Galardonado como Mejor Juego Independiente y Mejor Debut en The Game Awards 2021, el título aprovecha las capacidades gráficas de Switch 2 — equivalentes a PlayStation 4 — para ofrecer lo que Vincent describe como “prácticamente una película interactiva”. Narrativa: Kena, joven guía espiritual, restaura el equilibrio en una aldea corrompida, con mitología de inspiración balinesa revelada gradualmente. Jugabilidad: Combina acción en tercera persona, plataformas y resolución de retos ambientales. Múltiples niveles de dificultad. Exclusivo Switch 2: Pruebas de Guía Espiritual (desafíos con recompensas únicas), modo Nueva Partida+ con enemigos rediseñados, Charmstone que otorga ventajas/desventajas personalizables. También disponible en: PC (Epic, Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox One y Series X. Dreame presenta en México: aspiradoras robóticas con IA, purificadores y cerraduras inteligentes Pablo Berruecos asistió al evento de presentación oficial de Dreame en México, la marca china que cubre desde aspiradoras robóticas hasta cerraduras inteligentes y electrodomésticos de hogar conectado. Pablo la conoció primero en el CES de Las Vegas, donde el stand gigantesco abarcaba desde artículos de peinado hasta cafeteras, videocámaras de vigilancia y aspiradoras que suben escaleras. Aspiradora X60 Max Ultra Complete: $49,999 MXN. Aspira y trapea. Limpia sus propias felpas con agua a +100°C al regresar a la base. Contenedor de polvo para hasta 100 días. Detecta y esquiva objetos pequeños (piezas de Lego, calcetines) gracias a IA. Purificador de aire FP10: $17,000 MXN. Diseñado también para capturar pelo y caspa de mascotas. Cerradura Safio Log Turbo Light: $7,300 MXN. Compatible con Apple HomeKey y múltiples funciones de acceso. NovoCare InCam: $1,300 MXN. Cámara de videovigilancia compacta con forma de huevo para interiores. Expansión: Dreamy opera en más de 100 países y está entrando al sector automotriz y de telefonía en México. “Empiezas a ver la cantidad de productos y un stand gigantesco. Una compañía que empieza a abarcar absolutamente todo” — Pablo Berruecos ESRI: imágenes satelitales diarias de cualquier punto del mundo Pablo Berruecos presentó ESRI con ArcGIS, su plataforma de inteligencia geoespacial que permite analizar datos basados en ubicación para mejorar la toma de decisiones., capaz de capturar imágenes de prácticamente cualquier punto del planeta una vez al día. El servicio está orientado principalmente a gobiernos, agencias de seguridad, empresas agrícolas y firmas de análisis geoespacial. El modelo de negocio es B2B: la empresa contratante recibe los mapas y con ellos realiza su propio análisis, sin que ESRI acceda ni intervenga en el uso posterior de los datos. Pablo planteó las implicaciones para la geopolítica regional: la capacidad de detectar movimientos inusuales en zonas remotas —aplicable a localización de laboratorios o rutas de tráfico— abre un terreno de colaboración delicada entre gobiernos con tensiones de soberanía, como el caso México–EE.UU. También platico de varios temas de la semana como la develación de la sede para la Guía Michelin en Jalisco, una breve reseña de SONOS Play y de los Audífonos Headphone (a) con la próxima reseña en combo con el Phone 4 (a) Pro de Nothing, Redes sociales en juicio: Los Ángeles las declara adictivas por diseño Vincent Quezada destacó el fallo judicial en Los Ángeles que reconoció que las redes sociales son adictivas por diseño y obliga a las plataformas involucradas a pagar multas y compensaciones. El caso sienta un precedente importante en la regulación de plataformas digitales, estableciendo que los mecanismos de engagement —notificaciones, scroll infinito, sistemas de likes— no son accidentales sino deliberadamente diseñados para maximizar el tiempo en pantalla, especialmente en menores de edad. Conclusión: semana de cancelaciones, renovaciones y IA que se vuelve personal El episodio del 27 de marzo de 2026 cierra el mes con una narrativa clara: la IA que prometía demasiado (Sora, el metaverso) cede paso a la IA que entrega resultados concretos (Suno 5.5, aspiradoras con visión por computadora, imágenes satelitales en tiempo real). La próxima semana arranca abril, con la Copa del Mundo ya en marcha y nuevos lanzamientos en puerta. Escucha el episodio completo y únete con #PodcastONE y #onedigital.

ChatGPT is facing scrutiny ("under the gun") following recent developments, though the episode notes indicate a general lack of excitement over Thanksgiving updates like Kling 01 and Runway gen 4.5.The future of coding is seen as mostly AI-driven, with a mention of Mark Zuckerberg's prediction that all coding will be done by AI within 18 months.Major business developments include a partnership between Suno and Warner Music Group, and the expected roll-out of ads in ChatGPT responses by OpenAI.The financial relationship between OpenAI and Nvidia remains undefined, with the Nvidia CFO noting no definitive agreement, supporting the podcast's long-held view that many agreements are non-concrete and OpenAI's profits may be lower than perceived.A strong debate exists regarding the monetization and competition in the AI space, with arguments suggesting that Google's strategy with Gemini (potentially running ad-free and leveraging its search monetization) could force competitors to operate at a loss until they bleed out, giving Google a nearly unfair market advantage.@maxescu@slow_developer@Ross__Hendricks@signulll

For the 40th anniversary of The Jesus and Mary Chain's landmark debut album, Psychocandy, we take a detailed look at how it was made. Growing up in East Kilbride, Scotland, brothers William and Jim Reid had their lives changed by punk and both made plans to start their own bands. When they had trouble finding like-minded musicians in their town, they realized they could pool their resources and start a band together. After their father was made redundant from his job at a factory, he gave them a gift of 300 pounds, which they used to buy a Portastudio 4-track machine. Recording the songs they were writing allowed them to find the sound of the band that they were looking for. By 1984, they had recruited Douglas Hart on bass and Murray Dalglish on drums and were sending around a demo tape to try and get gigs. Their tape was passed on to Bobby Gillespie, who loved it and connected them with Alan McGee of Creation Records. After seeing them live, McGee signed them to a deal and they released their first single, “Upside Down,” in 1984. The single, along with their notorious live performances, generated a lot of interest and they ended up signing a deal with a subsidiary of Warner Music Group, called Blanco y Negro. At this point, Bobby Gillespie replaced Murray Dalglish on drums and they released their follow-up single, “Never Understand,” in early 1985. Their full-length debut album, Psychocandy, was eventually released in late 1985.  In this episode, Jim Reid describes the impetus for starting a band with his brother William and how they would spend hours talking about music and envisioning the type of band that could start a cultural revolution. He describes how they were of a shared mind in those early days and how they would each write songs and flipped a coin to ultimately decide that Jim would become the lead singer. William Reid talks about his punk-inspired approach to guitar and how a chance purchase of a used Shin-ei fuzz pedal from a neighbor kid gave him the sound he was looking for. By blending feedback and noise with 60s-inspired pop, the Reid brothers found their unique sound and went to great lengths to protect it from being watered down by the record company. From being emboldened to experiment by engineer John Loder, to the chaos of their early live gigs, to the standup drumming style of Bobby Gillespie, to swapping shifts in the studio with Ministry, to creating an album where every song could be a single, to punk music as the missing ingredient in their lives, to their shared confidence in making a record that would stand the test of time, we'll hear the stories of how the album came together.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with JulieAnn Bornales, Creative Operations & Marketing Consultant, and Podcast Producer. She highlights the lessons learned from career setbacks, finding your voice in challenging environments, and the importance of asking for what you're worth.   In today's episode, we discuss: Don't overlook the power of self-belief when facing challenges or workplace uncertainty. Trusting in your ability to solve problems encourages you to keep going through setbacks, helping you recover faster and reach your goals. Know your worth and stand firm in negotiating it, even if it feels uncomfortable initially. Advocating for yourself early in your career can lead to better pay and opportunities later, so get used to asking for more, even if you're eager just to get your foot in the door. Be bold and reach out to people or platforms outside your comfort zone. Sometimes the simplest act of curiosity, like sending an email or asking a question, can lead to big opportunities, so never underestimate the power of taking that next small step. Explore passions and hobbies outside your job to boost creativity and emotional resilience. Participating in activities you enjoy, like baking or theater, can decrease stress and help you bring fresh energy and new ideas back to your main pursuits.   RESOURCES: Master's Thesis  Imagery implications of MTV : teen pop, adolescent girls, and sex role behaviors: https://scholarworks.sjsu.edu/etd_theses/3364/   Guest Bio A native of Northern California, JulieAnn received a double undergraduate degree in Sociology - Organizational Studies and Communications from the University of California at Davis and earned her Master's Degree in Mass Communications, writing her thesis on MTV, music videos, and gender identity at San Jose State University.  A music industry veteran of over 15 years, she spent the majority of her career at Warner Music Group, contributing across sales, marketing, digital strategy, and creative development—driving cross-functional initiatives that supported both artist growth and brand innovation.  She was a key contributor to the launch of Warner Music Group's first FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television) channels, helping to program the company's expansion into this rapidly growing digital media space.  She also played a central role in unifying podcasting initiatives across international markets and served as producer of the award-winning, Chartable-ranked series Totally 80's: The Podcast.  A proud alumnus of the Atlantic Theater Acting School in New York City, JulieAnn has also appeared in Off-Broadway productions, web-series and short films.

Akash Nigam is the Founder and CEO of Genies, Inc., an avatar-technology company building personalized 3D avatars and digital identities for consumers, creators, and brands. Under his leadership, Genies has established partnerships with celebrities and major brands, including Unity, Warner Music Group, Justin Bieber, Cardi B., and Shawn Mendes. Akash is also the Founder of Humans, an AI-native venture studio.  In this episode… As online interactions evolve, brands must build connections with their customers. Traditional tools like email campaigns or social media posts fall short in creating meaningful relationships. How can companies create a more personal, two-way experience that feels less like marketing and more like a genuine conversation? According to interactive digital experience designer Akash Nigam, AI avatars can become the next user interface of the internet. Brands can create emotionally intelligent AI companions that gather user insights and build authentic relationships through natural conversations, games, and shared experiences. By leveraging AI to capture personality traits for personalized experiences and designing guardrails that prevent emotional dependency on chatbots, companies can turn followers into engaged users. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris speaks with Akash Nigam, Founder and CEO of Genies, Inc., about how AI avatars are reshaping brand relationships. Akash explains why avatars will replace mobile apps as the primary interface, how Unity's integration with Genies brings these companions into games, and the ethical concerns of emotional dependence on AI.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming field service operations across skilled trades, and HVAC is no exception. AI in HVAC is reshaping how technicians access information, troubleshoot systems, and stay productive on the job. As the industry faces an ongoing labor shortage and rising equipment complexity, the need for smarter tools is urgent, especially as HVAC employment is projected to grow 9% through 2033, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Many experienced technicians are nearing retirement, leaving fewer experts to mentor the next generation and increasing the demand for AI-driven training support. How can AI reduce friction for techs in the field, deliver real-time support, and preserve decades of tribal knowledge before it disappears?In this episode of Straight Outta Crumpton, host Greg Crumpton welcomes Jerry Zhang, Co-founder of Keycard, to explore how AI in HVAC can streamline information access and help HVAC teams get smarter, faster, and more connected.In this conversation, Greg and Jerry discuss:How AI can turn product manuals into real-time, voice-activated troubleshooting guides.Why high-stakes technical work demands AI that cites exact sources—no hallucinations allowed.How data from past service tickets can drive future training, routing, and performance insights.Jerry Zhang is Co-founder of Keycard, an AI platform that transforms equipment documentation into searchable, technician-ready resources. Before launching Keycard, Jerry co-founded an AI company that predicted breakout music artists, which was later acquired by Warner Music Group. He served as SVP of A&R Platforms there before entering the HVAC space. He holds a degree in engineering and brings over a decade of AI innovation experience across industries.

Simplifying.In this episode of The Profitable Cleaner, we sit down with Daniel Nice - a developer, entrepreneur, and leader who has spent his career turning complex ideas into simple, actionable systems. From shipping apps at Warner Music Group to guiding startups through acquisition, Daniel has seen what separates businesses that scale from those that stall.Now, he brings those lessons to cleaning & facility leaders — showing how authenticity, resilience, and the right systems can drive sustainable growth.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ Why authentic leadership attracts the right people (and filters out the wrong fit)✅ How to focus on activity over outcome to win more consistently✅ Why belief + hunger separate winning teams from average ones✅ The role of creativity in systems (even if you're not a “creative”)✅ Why resilience comes from trying a lot of things — not waiting for the perfect playbook✅ The truth about college vs. trades and preparing the next generation of talent✅ How to stay grounded in faith, family, and purpose while scaling a businessWhy it matters (for cleaning CEOs & operators)Scaling isn't about doing more — it's about doing the right things, simply and consistently. This episode will challenge how you think about leadership, hiring, and growth — and give you tools to run a cleaning company that thrives for years to come.

Cassie Petrey is the woman behind some of the most iconic artists' social media marketing including Backstreet Boys, Camila Cabello and Britney Spears. She is the co-founder of Crowd Surf, a leading marketing and music management firm. She's a fan girl whose admiration for the Backstreet Boys led her at age 12 to create a newsletter that reached fans worldwide — then years later she helped seal the band's decades-long superstardom by re-introducing them to next-generation fans. Cassie is a social media and artist management Hollywood powerhouse. She and her co-founder of Crowd Surf, Jade Driver, have been named to power lists in Variety, Billboard, and Forbes' annual “30 Under 30” feature. In 2022, the company launched its non-profit Career Development Program — a first-of-its-kind, no-cost educational series for people aspiring to work in the music business. “I worked fulltime the whole time I was at Middle Tennessee State University studying Music Business. I had been fortunate enough to get a job as a college rep at Warner Music Group my freshman year. I was doing that when, a couple months into college, I discovered a website called MySpace. I went to my boss and said, ‘Hey, why don't big bands use MySpace? You only see small, local and college bands using it. I think major label artists should use it, too.' And she said, ‘I don't really know what that means, but pick an artist. I'll connect you with their manager, and we'll figure out how you can manage their MySpace page.' “I was scared to ask her if I could do that or not, but I'm really glad I did because if I didn't, I wouldn't have been one of the first to market in this lane that has become so huge. I thought social media was going to be big, but I didn't think it was going to get to where it is now! “Looking back on it, it didn't seem such a big deal to me at the time, but a record label vice president, letting an 18-year-old come in and do all this work for their clients on MySpace and more? That's taking a certain level of risk, and I appreciate her taking that risk on me.”      

Episode 80: Mike Caren. If you're in the music industry, you hear the name Mike Caren all the time. He's one of the most powerful people in music, with a career that's led to billions of streams, multiple GRAMMY wins, and chart-topping, career-defining hits as both an A&R and executive. He's signed and/or helped break artists like Bruno Mars, Charlie Puth, Ed Sheeran, Kehlani, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Wiz Khalifa, Flo Rida, T.I., Trey Songz, Ava Max, Kevin Gates, and Don Toliver. He started his career at Atlantic Records at just 18 years old, eventually becoming President of Worldwide A&R at Warner Music Group. Today, he is the founder and CEO of APG, which includes Artist Partner Group (label) and Artist Publishing Group (publishing), one of the most successful independent music companies in the world. This is Mike Caren's first-ever long-form, on-camera interview. Mike usually keeps a low profile, so I was honored he agreed to do this. We dive into his full trajectory, how he got where he is today, lessons learned, and his advice for artists, songwriters, and A&Rs trying to build meaningful careers in today's music landscape. We also talk artist development, the balance of creativity and business, AI and more. There's so much to take away from this one. Hope you enjoy my conversation with the great Mike Caren! ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

This episode of Litigation Nation covers several notable legal news stories, including a copyright infringement lawsuit against the cookie company Crumble, upcoming US Supreme Court hearings on the ability of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions, a recent case involving lawyers misusing AI to generate legal citations, and a humorous anecdote about a law firm using a large cartoon dragon watermark in their court filings.Copyright Infringement in Social Media Marketing: Companies are increasingly using popular music in social media content for marketing, raising complex copyright issues, especially regarding the distinction between personal and commercial use licenses on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.Scope of Lower Court Injunctions: The US Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on the controversial issue of whether lower courts can issue nationwide injunctions against federal policies or if their relief must be limited to the specific parties before the court. This issue has become politicized and is particularly relevant in the context of immigration policy.Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence in Legal Practice: The misuse of generative AI by lawyers to draft legal documents, specifically the hallucination of fake case citations, continues to be a problem leading to sanctions and highlighting the critical need for lawyers to verify AI-generated content.Adherence to Court Rules and Professionalism: Judge Rejects Lawsuit With Dragon Logo, Calling It ‘Juvenile and Impertinent'The legal landscape continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements, political dynamics, and novel applications of existing laws. The cases discussed in this episode highlight critical issues facing the legal profession and the judiciary, from navigating the complexities of intellectual property in the digital age to grappling with the appropriate scope of judicial power and the ethical integration of AI into legal practice. The upcoming Supreme Court arguments on nationwide injunctions, in particular, represent a potentially significant development with broad implications for federal policy implementation and the balance of power between the branches of government. The episode serves as a reminder for legal professionals and the public alike to be aware of these evolving legal challenges and the importance of upholding established legal principles and ethical standards.
