Jeremy Sirota on never being the smartest person in the room, the book he'd never talked about, and why AI can't help you if you've got nothing to say.FULL DESCRIPTION \"I've never been the smartest person in the room. So I've always had to pull at something else.\"Jeremy Sirota has a career that refuses to sit on a straight line. Tech lawyer at Morrison & Foerster. Record exec at Warner Music. Global licensing deals at Meta. CEO of Merlin, where he took annual revenue from $900M to $1.8B. Now Chief Commercial Officer at Suno, one of the most-watched generative AI music companies on the planet.But he didn't talk his way in — he worked his way in. The through-line was never the title. It was a way of operating: build the room where genius happens instead of trying to be the genius in it. It took his ten-year-old daughter cutting him off mid-lecture — \"Dad, no more TED Talks today\" — to make that click.In this conversation, Jeremy gets into the class that nearly ended his law career, the book he'd never talked about publicly until now, why he keeps a \"captain's log\" of half-formed ideas, the \"make this worse\" game he uses to break a room open, and the one thing AI can't do for you: have something to say.For founders, operators, and builders working the move from operator to authority to icon — this one's worth your time.—Guest: Jeremy Sirota, Chief Commercial Officer at Suno Host: Matt Stone","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/OiGNDWoL6ey5RaVnyCK3tOz2QkGk_QMUaVIV05K9nf4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83OGUz/NWJhMzc2NTJiMzU5/NGQxOWJkNTA3MWE4/NmQyNy5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
