Catch my interview with legendary Canadian manager Jake Gold TODAY (Thursday) at the (virtual) Collision conference

Any normal year would see people gathering at various conferences around the planet. But in 2020? Nope. We’ve all had to adapt to a virtual world thanks to COVID-19. That includes this year’s Collision conference. More than 32,000 people from 140 countries have signed up for Collision at Home.

Some 600 speakers are taking part, including Justin Trudeau, Margaret Atwood, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyeus (Director-General of the World Health Organization), Shaquille O’Neil, LL Cool J, Arianna Huffington, and so many more.

My contribution will be to interview Canadian Idol judge and music manager Jake Gold about his 40 years in the business. (Hey, Jake is back working with the Tragically Hip after 17 years. Gee, I wonder if that will come up?)

Our session is Thursday at 1 pm ET. To RSVP, go here.
