1 小时 32 分钟Well, hello, boys and girls, ladies and germs.
This is Tim Ferriss.
Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show.
My guest today is Guy Osirian.
If you hear birds in the background, that's because I was visiting him for the interview at his home in Los Angeles.
He has been spotting talent before anyone else could see it for nearly four decades.
He has different batteries.
I've seen it, very different batteries.
Under his leadership at Maverick Records, Maverick sold more than 100 million albums.
Guy has managed some of the biggest names in music, including Madonna.
I think that's 36 years and counting, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and U2,
and was named Variety's Music Mogul of the Year in 2022. He's got lots of accolades like that.
He also executive produced Twilight, you may have heard of, which became
one of the most successful franchises in movie history, generating more than $3.5 billion.
Guy was also an early investor in Vitacoco and co-founded A-Grade Investments
and then Sound Ventures, now with nearly $2 billion under management.
At A-Grade, his hits included Airbnb, Uber, and Spotify.
Sound Ventures launched, even though it has more than $2 billion now,
with less than $100 million and has since had 86 exits and 26 IPOs.
He's got a lot of stories.
