Yeah.
Rory has, you know, three full-ass jobs.
I got three full-ass jobs.
Well, who's going to run it?
Mm-hmm.
But there's also those horror stories then when you look at it and it's like, well, I managed such and such.
They got to X level line on Coachella and they fired me.
A couple of my close friends did this to their managers.
There's no equity in that.
So just trying to reimagine how are you building your business to get to a place where maybe in the beginning it makes sense to take that funding from a major and do a lopsided deal.
But when you get out of that shit, restructuring and making sure that everyone involved feels like... Don't just say partners because if you're paying them, if they're catching a wage on a 1st and a 15th, they're not a partner.
Mm-hmm.
So that's why I was like hella passionate leaving the major is because I understood I got the information that I needed and was able to apply it in real time.
Sorry for the rant.
No, that was dope.
I had to be really, really honest and check my ego at the door and be a little brutally self-aware.
Maybe the shit that we're making...
You know, at the time with the deal, I was 29.
Maybe I'm a little too old to pop off commercially and be able to look myself in the mirror and go, well, shit, I could still build an arena touring fan base.
And, you know, my favorite artists, when I busted down to like, you know, Janet, Gorillaz, and Sade, that's like my North Star shit.
