Chicago-born manager and entrepreneur Jake Udell is a music industry juggernaut. Featured on Forbes’ 2016 “30 under 30” list, he started his first business at 13 and has gone on to become a rapper, manager for Krewella and other artists, founder of the TH3RD BRAIN talent management company, and Head of Activation for Community, a text-based conversation platform that allows celebrities and brands to communicate directly with their fans. On this episode of “Q&A with Che,” Jake talks to Che Pope about breaking records during the pandemic, transitioning from artist to manager, online marketing, learning at school vs. on the job, starting a business as a kid, realizing your value and adding value to anyone you meet, bridging the gap between celebrities and their audience, and more.
