0:00Well, hello, boys and girls, ladies and germs.
0:02This is Tim Ferriss.
0:03Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show.
0:05My guest today is Guy O'Sirian.
0:07If you hear Berts in the background, that's because I was visiting him for the interview at his home in Los Angeles.
0:13He has been spotting talent before anyone else could see it for nearly four decades.
0:17He has different batteries.
0:18I've seen it, very different batteries.
0:20Under his leadership at Maverick Records, Maverick sold more than 100 million albums.
0:25Guy has managed some of the biggest names in music, including Madonna, I think that's 36 years in counting, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and U2, and was named Varieties Music Mogul of the Year in 2022.
0:35He's got lots of accolades like that.
0:37He 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.
0:46Guy was also an early investor in VitaCoco and co-founded A-Grade Investments and then Sound Ventures, now with nearly $2 billion under management.
0:55At A-Grade, his hits included Airbnb, Uber, and Spotify.
0:58Sound 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.
