I came across this video yesterday and dropped everything to watch it. While I haven’t met Larry Jackson personally, I know people in his circle, and his name has been popping up frequently lately. This interview confirms the positive things I’ve heard about him – that he’s not only a brilliant music executive, but even more so, an inspiring entrepreneur.
As someone who admires entrepreneurs, especially Black male entrepreneurs, I particularly appreciate his insights. We all know the challenges we face when forging our own paths. The fact that he’s keenly aware of the limitations gatekeepers have imposed on us, in an industry where Black music has been a driving force since the beginning, immediately earned my respect. It would be incredibly selfish of me to hoard such pertinent, educational, and inspirational information from our readers. So here it is! I’d love to know your thoughts in the comments.
