Since I first met Sharon, she has been a source of inspiration to me, as she is to many others.

As a budding trainee lawyer, I relied heavily on our friendship and her professional guidance, and I’ll owe a debt of gratitude to Sharon forever.

Naturally, this episode is heavy on music, politics, the law, and the routes into the most coveted roles in our business: “music lawyer”.

Sharon has built a roster that reflects who she is, which is creative, clever, and unendingly inspiring.

This one is the last of season one, and I'm so glad we can end this chapter on a high.

Best,

This week’s guest is Simon Jones, the Senior Vice President of Live Music at AEG Presents, one of the world’s leading companies in live entertainment. Simon has spent almost 14 years at AEG building their international touring arm and promoting some incredible shows and tours.

In 2024, the Arthur Award-winning promoter and AEG will be at the heart of staging twenty-six dates with Ed Sheeran for his +–=÷x Tour, as well as fifty sold-out Taylor Swift shows, including eight nights at London’s Wembley Stadium in the UK.

This one was recorded at a time when there was a global ban on live music and nobody knew when it would be returning. Listening back, it's no surprise why the world’s most celebrated artists admire and respect him as much as they do.

In this episode, I have a chat with a brother who discourses on squishing people's heads over pocket money (and then it gets funny) and the nature of brotherhood.

Dot is eloquent and insightful. The topics we cover are broad, and it was such a pleasure to be given the chance to distill our many conversations into one recording.

Kind, gentle, and creative, this episode has left an inedible mark on me.
