§ 06 — Origin Story
About the guy
Jared Gutstadt grew up on Weird Al and the Beatles with a dash of 2 Live Crew and pawn-shop guitars. He founded Jingle Punks in a Lower East Side apartment, flipped the music licensing industry on its head, sold it, then immediately set out to transform the world of AI and podcasts in one fell swoop.
Now he runs a portfolio of companies including a podcast tech, labels, and a full-service media company — Jingle Jared has evolved from a scrappy entrepreneur to a one-man media circus.
