His plan, as he put it, was to “get some real experience in the music industry, then come back to the US and get a job using country club contacts.” “And talking with some of them, I realized that I needed to make a drastic change.” So, George applied for a travel visa to western Australia. “I was at UCLA at the time, working at a country club, and I’d go over and meet a ton of interesting people,” he continues. But about a decade ago, he was just having these get-togethers at his house.” “Look, I know people have a lot of opinions about Tai,” says George. Tai Lopez is, according to the internet, an “internet personality investor entrepreneur,” which is a jargonized way of saying that a lot of people would really enjoy hitting him with a water balloon.īut, when George met Tai almost a decade ago, Tai wasn’t yet the cringey “I’m here in my garage with my Lamborghinis” guy – he was just an up-and-coming entrepreneur known for networking in the LA social scene. George responded by talking about Tai Lopez. I started off by asking George about his background. It turned out to be a really enjoyable conversation. So after a little back-and-forth, we set up a time to talk.


Tbh I thought his little profile photo was kinda weird, but I appreciated the email – and as I mentioned last week, I’m all about connecting with playlist pitching companies (really, with anyone in the music marketing space). Prior to last month, I’d known who he was because I’d read Ari Herstand’s review of the service (he mentions getting lunch with George) and because George is the face of Playlist Push’s YouTube channel.īut I hadn’t had any personal contact with George until he sent me this email: I thought that was pretty good, so I conditionally recommended the service. But the short version of it is that I ran a campaign for one of my brother’s tracks and got about 40,000 solid Spotify streams, plus continuing algorithmic growth. You can read my whole review if you want. Depending on who you ask, it’s either the most popular or second-most popular firm in the space. (If you haven’t heard of Playlist Push, it’s a music promotion platform focused on Spotify playlist pitching. About a month ago, I published what I thought was a pretty fair / detailed review of Playlist Push.
