For as long as I can remember I’ve been in the entertainment business. I started at the beginning of the Internet when I joined AOL in the early 1990s. I was a video editor and would post my videos on AOL, eventually becoming a host on their site. After working at AOL for several years, I transitioned into the live programming side of the business. I hosted events and then worked on the production side of the business. Eventually I became an executive in the live events division.
The first thing I do when I meet someone new is ask what they do. The next thing I do is ask what they do for a living. I always ask what their day job is. I also ask about their hobbies, where they live, what they enjoy, and what they’re good at. Then I ask what their family is like. Then I ask how they got into the entertainment business. Then I ask how they got to where they are now.
One of the most common questions asked in the live events division is “Why do I do what I do?”, and that’s been one of the most recurring questions I’ve ever wondered about.
Well I’ll tell you why. First off, we live in the future. The question I asked myself most was “Why do you do what you do?” and the answer to that question was simple. I love what I do, and I love the people I work with. I have been with archrok entertainment since 2001, and I have grown to love it. I am also a fan of the people I work with and love the people I work with.
As I mentioned before, this division is about bringing together a group of talented artists to create a unique, cutting-edge event every year. We have been able to do this because of the fact that we have a team of people who are truly passionate about what we do. We take the time, effort, and money to find and develop the most creative and talented artists to work in our events, and it has been one of the most rewarding years of my life.
It really is. It’s an event in which the artist creates a new genre that is completely original and fresh. The artists are given a budget and a certain amount of time to produce a project, and the artists are free to either write their own music or use the music from other artists in their own original style. If an artist really loves what they see, and feels that they could make a lot of money by doing it, they will definitely do it.
It’s a lot of work. It’s hard to stop reading, but your brain really does work. We did a little research to find out what people think. We were all like, “Why did all these people make so many people?” and we found out that the most popular people were in the top ten. We just didn’t know why or how many people were even doing it. I think that’s a good thing.
The most popular people were the ones who made the most money, and they did it by selling their artwork. Because if you make people happy, they’ll all go buy your art, and then they’ll all buy your book, and then they’ll all buy your album, and then they’ll all buy your DVD, and then they’ll all buy your whatever it is you’re making now.
The thing about selling art is that it is very difficult for artist to make a living selling their work. Artists are often not satisfied with a single sale, and if they have to split their income with multiple artists, it ends up being difficult for them to get by.
The fact that some of our thoughts and actions are on autopilot is a great sign that we’re going to be in a situation where we’re not even aware of our own mental state. We’ll just see all of the people who have been watching us on Twitter or Facebook, and we’ll probably see them all on our sites.
