I'm like, dude, you got to be kidding me, right?
And I left kind of unscathed, except I left with the fact going, what do I do now?
How do I find even though I was working?
So I decided to do something crazy.
And again, I'm not told this until recently, because 40 years later, nobody can arrest me.
But I got a piece of stationery.
I created an agency called Creative Management for Artists, CMA.
I hired a woman named Lindsay Maxwell.
And Lindsay was this British woman who was enamored with Forbes Riley and truly understood this one word, how to pitch her.
And so for three years, I was my own manager.
Because I was Lindsay Maxwell.
So you just made up your own management company and then put on a different voice and became your own agent.
And I got booked everywhere.
Did you take 10% of your own money?
