        &lt;p&gt;Host &lt;strong&gt;Dylan Carroll &lt;/strong&gt;sits down with music industry executive &lt;strong&gt;Jeremy Marsh&lt;/strong&gt; for a captivating episode of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Outward Bound and Me&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Before launching a stellar 40-year career leading major record labels like RCA, Virgin, and Warner Music Group, where he produced superstars like Take That and Annie Lennox, guided stars like Madonna, Prince and REM, as well as giving a certain Simon Cowell his first break, Jeremy attended Outward Bound Aberdyfi as a 13 year old, in 1973. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jeremy’s connection to Outward Bound was founded through his father, Ted ‘Direct Action’ Marsh, a Royal Marine veteran who helped establish Outward Bound Malaysia in 1954, before joining OBT UK as a Board member who oversaw the organisation’s property expansion. Jeremy reflects on being sent to the Welsh coast, experiencing the solo expedition in woodland, and learning to navigate team dynamics as an only child. He explains how the resilience, self-awareness, and emotional toolkit gained during his days in Aberdyfi provided a lifelong anchor throughout a fast-paced and influential career in the music industry. From steering renown artist’s careers, to co-founding his latest venture ‘Breaking Wave Group’, Jeremy reflects on how early Outward Bound experiences built a foundation of adaptability, which formed a soundtrack for an incredible lifetime journey of music and creativity.&lt;/p&gt;<br />
