This episode features a dynamo in the music scene, Megan Jasper. Megan has a passion and professional ear for music, which comes in handy as the CEO of Sub Pop Records. 
 
What started as an internship at the record label, which is known for launching artists such as Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney and a great range of talented artists, flourished into an impressive career in the music industry. As CEO of this quintessential Seattle company, Megan injects her wit, grunge vocabulary, and unique leadership voice into this constantly changing industry.  
 
A self-proclaimed “misfit,” Megan’s music industry experience began at a young age as the co-host of a late-night grunge music radio show. In 1989, Megan landed an internship at Sub Pop Records, and was quickly hired as the label's receptionist. After a few years’ hiatus where she went on the road with the band Dinosaur Jr. and dove into other musical ventures, she returned to the label as Senior Project Manager before being elevated to EVP and now has nine years at the helm as CEO.   
Megan strives to create a culture of belonging, and shares how she is embracing the curveballs while continuing to hone her business acumen with the real-world and often wild experiences of the entertainment industry. Her leadership extends beyond the workplace as a board member and advisor for several creative organizations, including youth-led The Vera Project and the city task force that abolished Seattle’s Teen Dance Ordinance.     A Seattle Sports Commission Production with support from MetaMora Productions, Inc.
