[4][5] During their youth, the Lipman family encountered significant financial difficulties, which led them to rely on government assistance and food stamps.

After listening to a demo of the band's album, Tubthumper, the Lipman brothers immediately offered to sign them to a deal on their imprint, a co-venture with Universal Records.

[9][16] Early in his tenure, Lipman oversaw Universal Records' first Billboard 200 number one album with Nelly's Country Grammar.

[17] In his first six years there, Lipman oversaw acts like Jack Johnson,[18] Lil Wayne,[14] Hinder, and Damien Marley along with Republic holdovers, 3 Doors Down and Godsmack (among others).

[22] In that role, Lipman signed artists like Amy Winehouse, Colbie Caillat, India Arie, Mika, Enrique Iglesias, and Florence + the Machine by 2011.

[23][25] In 2011, Lipman came across videos of Ariana Grande singing cover songs on YouTube and was so impressed by her vocals that he went on to sign her to a recording contract.

[28][29][30] In 2014, releases from Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift along with a variety of soundtracks led Republic to become Nielsen's number 1 label in market share.

[45] Among other honors, Lipman also received the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation's "Spirit of Hope Award" in 2017[46] and was one of four honorees at the 2018 Angel Ball.
