39:28Now PlayingOn this week's episode of The Limits, Jay speaks with his old friend, Scott “Scooter” Braun. Scooter is an entrepreneur, investor, and one of the most well-known talent managers in Hollywood today.
Scooter first got his start when he dropped out of college to pursue a professional career in marketing, after organizing a successful trail of parties for high-profile musicians. But today, he’s probably best known for recognizing talent; after first seeing a video of young Justin Bieber on YouTube, he “saw clearly that [Justin] could be one of the biggest artists in the world.” From there on, he continued to be a visionary – going on to manage stars like Ariana Grande, J Balvin, and Demi Lovato.
Jay spoke with the man behind the curtain about everything from his biggest challenges in work and life to his relationship with his kids, and his constant quest for self-improvement. Having already achieved major success, the one thing Scooter wants now is to be present.
