How did you originally get into the entertainment industry?

That’s a very interesting question, because I would love to say that it was a grand master plan, that I spent time strategically plotting its course, but the reality is it happened over the years, through a variety of circumstances that allowed my preparation to meet awesome opportunities-and the rest has been history as they say. For example, Snoop Dogg and I owned a company together in the automotive sector, which evolved into a record label that I ran with one of his artists from the Dogg Pound, Mac Lucci. Then last year, while launching my new artist at the Billboard Music Awards, I was recruited by a highly successful Movie Production Studio and Media Firm as their new Executive Producer in Hollywood. So interesting and awesome situations like that, which you can’t really plan for if you tried to do it intentionally.

What do you accredit your success to, in spite of spanning across multiple business sectors?

I don’t view companies based upon the product or service they offer, I focus on the consumers. A company could be selling anything from toothpicks to tampons, but my constant obsession and focus are keenly on consumer behavior, which consistently operates in predictable patterns of repetition, making the products and industry irrelevant in my ability to connect with the consumer emotion and intellect.

What are some of your greatest challenges, and what is your greatest attribute when it comes to your work ethic?

Since I have 5 wonderful children, my biggest challenge has always been finding the proper work-life balance. Without question, my single greatest attribute has been my incredibly high-level of expectations for myself and those around me. Secondarily, I can say it’s been the sense-of-urgency I was born with because if I expect more than you do and I act quicker than you do, I’m going to win and you’re going to lose!
