What are the three core pillars of financial success?
Welcome to a special edition of the Money Mondays where we cover three core topics. How to make money, how to invest money, how to give it away to charity. It is very rare that I don't do this podcast inside of my RV motorhome. It's also very rare that I bring on a guest for a second time. This guest you're going to see on every single year because he's been the CEO of my company for five, six, seven, eight years now, ever since 2018, 19 range. So Without further ado, I'm going to have Mr. Joey Carson give you a quick two-minute bio so we can get straight to the money.
A two-minute bio?
Good luck.
Wow. Well, maybe I'll try to condense it to under two minutes. A 30-year career in television and film, mostly television. Going back to the late 80s, early 90s on the studio side. Then as an independent producer in the early to mid-teens, and I've had two tech companies, and I've punched in a few times as a turnaround CEO for a few companies, so just keeping it at the high level there.
So as you guys know, these episodes are between 32 and 36 minutes for your listening pleasure because we have a 93% listen-through rate compared to most podcasts that are just too long, too boring, and too much interpersonal talk. We are very straightforward here because I want you guys to be able to listen to this podcast and it's not just for you. You can share it with your friends, family, and followers, and also with people from your past, present, and future. So it's very important that as you're listening to this, you might think about things that are useful to someone else in your life. All right, Joey Carson. You were just kind of casually going through your 30 year career. Let's talk real.
Talk to us about Buna Murray, the real world road rules, simple life with Paris Hilton. These are major shows that I grew up on and so many hundreds of millions of other people grew up on. Talk to us about that time in your life when you were the CEO of Buna Murray Productions.
It was Probably the funnest time in my career. Second funnest time? Prior to that, I was the head of production and finance at 20th Television at Fox. And I left to go join Breonna Murray.
How did Joey Carson transition from TV mogul to CEO?
I had actually worked with them before. They had come to Fox, and we worked with them to do a pilot. And we got along very well, and they were just great. I had heard later that they were looking for somebody like me or somebody to take the company to the next level. And we had a mutual friend and their agent was this legendary Hollywood agent, was their agent. He was also friendly with me and actually one of my biggest mentors. And so we had a few meetings and they told me that they wanted to grow beyond where they were because at that time they had really just had real world and road rules. And so I left my big, cushy studio job to go over there. Which was really the, I always tell people I kind of did my entrepreneur career in reverse, because I worked in the corporate side for 10, 15 years.
So that was really the first foray into being an entrepreneur, so to speak. And the motivation was, at the time, I had a lot of responsibility at Fox, and I worked on a lot of great projects there. But I wasn't running the entire business, right? I wasn't in charge of sales or distribution or marketing or those sort of things, even though I was responsible for a lot. And I always had this thought in the back of my mind, I really would like to see if I can run an entire company. And so they trusted me and I went over there. And it was interesting at first because there were... At that time, there was kind of like just a couple of shows going on. There wasn't like this unified, there was in various degrees of the company.
So one of the goals I had was I wanted to turn it into a studio. And so I tried to, and I think successfully with the help of the people there, brought some kind of the best practices that we had on network broadcast television and films and things like that. And so we, worked together and created kind of like functional processes across the entire company.
