- I think I'm done but I hope I inspired someone. Had to get that off my chest before the Summit. so...........
- You know how the game goes. It's chess, not checkers. I love matching wits. I'm a brains before brawn type of guy anyway. Cant retain w8 :-(
- I'm introverted on the low anyway. LOL
- It's not acting Hollywood to go where pays. It's survival.Mu'fuckas got rent & bills to pay.Parties and free promo shit doesnt help my bank.
- And if someone is smart, they aint doing shit for free after a certain point."If you're good at something, never do it for free".-The Joker.
- You shouldnt be mad at someone for moving on professionally.What a boss misses is their quality of work. 10 people in a room <>
- (If only I hit the weights consistently whenever I got mad at something work related. I go for long walks but w/e......)
- I love it. I just hate seeing it tampered and fucked with. but you learn how to constructively channel that passion.
- Its like a wife...you got her and she has you but you both gotta keep remembering your initial love for each other for the shit to work
- Never getting complacent and just keeping that spark alive.
- You will make mistakes and will DEFINITELY have more than one "relationship", but it's the preparations for the "the one" that matter.
- This game is like a relationship. You have to constantly grow and adapt with it. Be true to it and it'll be true to you.
- You have to be fluid like water to survive in this dynamic game. I love the unpredictability and "what's next" factor. I LOVE it.
- There's no room for blockheads. Your ability to absorb information quickly will determine your success/failure. My personality growth is wow
- We were babies (and relatively young, as we're a year and change old), but we knew what the deal was and are able to learn.
- The people I have met over the past year itself just inspire me. Too many to name. A few in particular come to mind. They showed us mad love
- It doesnt help to have a killer smile and the ability to listen in an industry where people love to talk about themselves.
- Young Black gifted and approachable. It's a new age. I wouldnt have it any other way.
- When you know the integrity of your own product wont be fucked with, it inspires you more. Not to mention the pride factor.
- From marketing to A&R to public speaking to networking back to my own creative control, it's been FUN. And I LOVE control. LOL pause
- A real student wont just ask what you know. He'll analyze how you operate and emulate that. I've learned a lot in a short time.
- Approachability is huge. A lot of the senior execs that i've polied with are EXTREMELY down to earth and willing to teach.It soothes ego tooYou know you're doing it when you hear of an event and you're mad you cant go because you've missed the chance to network.
- I could give a fuck about a party and drinking. The realest cats in there come late and leave early anyway. They usually have something else
- Messing up on the job, but being smart/humble enough to ask for help and able to take correction. Ego's aside
- Cap low, making humorous comments, networking and being conversational with everyone. Having great pearly whites isnt a bad look either.
- I like seeing myself in the next generation. The kid who's at the table asking questions when he doesnt understand (even if they are "dumb")
- It also helps that I'm straightforward and candid. In an industry built on image and bullshit, it's a good contrast. Real recognize real
- I cant even put a value on the connections that I've built and relationships that I have gotten through this here game. I love it.
- Competition breeds excellence. The most cunning breed of person will pimp the system. Capitalism is built on exchange. Nothing's free
- Some people are in this game as glorified groupies,others working towards a corner office.If you're gonna do what you do,be the best @ it.
- I dont like to deal with the pettiness of people only one step "higher" than I am when their superiors usually are more approachable.
- I dont like middlemen. I stayed in the cut for a few months, got the contacts I needed and bounced. While they partied, I analyzed.
