John Raso is the CEO of Audiam, the music publishing digital rights reproduction collection agency which was acquired by SESAC in 2021. Over his 30+ year career, he's held senior executive roles with Harry Fox Agency, Live Nation, Atlantic Records and Bearing Point. Trust me when I say he is one smart dude.

Lawrence Peryer is quite comfortable being the smartest person in any room he enters. His resume reads like no other- from senior roles with major labels and conglomerates such as Amazon, to helping launching successful start-ups, he is truly a "swiss army knife" of skills and experience. He is also one of the most entertaining and well-informed interviewers you will ever see.
