The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast just hit its 300th episode!!

Before we start, I want to thank every guest who has appeared on the podcast and every PR and management team I have worked with who trusted my brand. I want to thank my friends and family who have supported my podcasting journey. Finally, I want to thank you – the listeners!  Thank you for listening or watching the podcast. I never thought that I would celebrate the podcast’s fifth anniversary season!  

For the 300th episode, I am very excited to welcome choreographer and creative director Richy Jackson as the guest for our milestone episode!  

Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Richy Jackson’s journey in the dance world began at a young age. He honed his skills and quickly became known for his unique style and innovative approach to choreography.   His breakthrough moment came when he joined forces with Lady Gaga. Richy played a pivotal role in shaping the elaborate, boundary-pushing visuals synonymous with the art. Their collaboration resulted in some of the “Born This Way” performer’s iconic pop culture moments, including the Super Bowl 51 Halftime Show, the 2019 A Star is Born film, and both the Monster Ball and Born This Way Ball tours.  

His choreography appeared in Lady Gaga’s “Stupid Love” and Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s “Rain on Me” music videos. Richy Jackson also reached new creative heights with an unprecedented collaboration with Epic Games’ popular video game Fortnite. Thanks to his partnership with Fortnite, Richy’s choreography has propelled him to global recognition under “emotes,” a symbol of artistic expression and cultural significance within the gaming community. The collaboration highlights Richy’s remarkable talent and underscores his enduring legacy as a visionary choreographer shaping the intersection of gaming and entertainment.  Richy also extended his creative genius to other major artists, including JoJo Siwa and Idina Menzel.  

For The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast’s milestone episode, Richy Jackson spoke about dropping college to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, appearing in Apple’s iconic iPod commercials, and working with JoJo Siwa on “Karma,” one of 2024’s most talked-about music videos.
