Ep 17: LIFE-SUPPORT with Jaddan Comerford

A LOT TO SAY PODCAST

Jaddan Comerford joins A LOT TO SAY to talk about his life's journey in the music industry and the many experiences and perspectives he has gathered along the way- reflections on leadership, artistic pursuits and livelihoods, projects, investment opportunities and even working side-by-side with his wife Rachael!

We talk about the growth of UNIFIED involving the suite of services that they offer with a global focus, and how the tides have changed for the creative/ music industries in the past, now and into the near future.

A few points in the chit-chat:

2. UNIFIED’s suite of offerings
3. A noisy, busy life to manage
4. Working side-by-side with partners and an appreciation for life
5. Managing artists and the experiences gathered
6. The team immerse themselves in projects and opportunities
7. Gaining opportunities to sustain artists by creating new revenue streams
8. Being surrounded by a team of intrapreneurs
9. The ‘clarinet’
10. The investment journey in emerging startups and small businesses
11. The changing face of the music industry and the impact on the team in 2020
12. The information gathering process and personal development as a leader
13. The work Jaddan’s most proud of, most (not) proud of and someone to take notice of…
