David J. Moore co-founded 24/7 Media, took it public with $2.5M in revenue, watched it soar to a $1.8 billion valuation — and then rode it all the way down to nine cents a share and a "going concern" opinion before clawing it back and selling to WPP. In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, David sits down with host Joe Pardavila to unpack the eerie and not-so-eerie parallels between the dot-com bust and today's AI boom, why he believes AI could be more dangerous than a nuclear bomb, and what he'd do differently if he could relive the crash. He also opens up about compartmentalizing grief while running a company as his wife battled cancer, and the foundation and marathon tradition he keeps up in her memory.David's new book, The 24/7 CEO: The Battle for Survival That Helped Build Digital Advertising, tells the full inside story.What You'll LearnHow 24/7 Media grew from 40 employees to 1,200 people in 29 countries — then crashed to 200 employees and a $15M market capThe real mechanical difference between the dot-com bust and today's AI bubble (hint: it's about who can afford to fail)Why David believes unchecked AI could be more dangerous than nuclear weaponsThe one strategic decision he'd reverse if he could redo the crash yearsHow Wall Street's "growth over profit" mindset echoes the Netflix/streaming correction — and why AI may be nextWhich jobs he thinks are more AI-resistant, and where he pushes back on his own optimismHow he led all-hands meetings and kept morale up during two years of declineHow he compartmentalized his wife's cancer diagnosis while running a public company through crisisThe foundation and marathon tradition he's kept alive for 16 years in her honorChapters00:00 – Introduction: 24/7 Media and The 24/7 CEO01:00 – Setting the scene: 26 years since the dot-com boom01:18 – Founding 24/7 Media and the explosive early growth02:29 – IPO days, stock mania, and 1,200 employees across 29 countries03:38 – The crash: from $69/share to nine cents04:51 – Big difference from today: Big Tech can't go out of business06:48 – "AI is more dangerous than the nuclear bomb"08:47 – Looking back: what he'd change about the decline10:37 – Scaling back acquisitions vs. chasing market share11:03 – The Netflix correction and Wall Street's growth-to-profit pivot12:06 – What actually caused the dot-com bust (the IPO window closing)14:00 – Data centers, capital spending, and consumer backlash15:33 – Rich vs. poor: will the market reject AI overinvestment?16:00 – The horse-shoer analogy: progress always has winners and losers17:07 – Which jobs AI can't easily replace (plumbers, masseuses, doctors)18:38 – Pushback: what happens to white-collar, middle-class jobs?19:14 – The cyclical trap: cutting jobs while needing customers20:20 – Workforce "carnage," trade schools, and the road to 203021:03 – Leading through crisis: all-hands meetings and rallying speeches22:33 – Optimism as a choice (and a skill you can build)23:39 – Triathlons as therapy: running through business problems24:51 – His wife's cancer diagnosis while running the company26:20 – The WPP sale, Martin Sorrell's support, and stepping back as CEO28:33 – Returning as CEO after losing his wife29:04 – Starting the foundation in her memory30:06 – Running a marathon every year to fundraise32:21 – How to support the foundation33:18 – Closing and book plug
On Kill By Kill, we try our darnedest to cover films that our audience can find and view with their eyeballs. This week, however, is a major exception. For Horror-CoMAYdy, we scoured the internet (and Patrick's blu-ray collection) to find a movie that just does not work - and the world has conspired to keep hidden: 1982's NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CLASS REUNION!! A motion picture filled with funny people, a screenplay by a renowned comedy writer, and the results are devoid of almost all humor. And we're unpacking it all: from the scrubbed history of the film's conception and filming, to the way it tacks on horror elements with zero desire to make them impactful, and the Bernie Wrightson-illustrated prequel strip that's better than anything in the final product!! Along the way, we talk paper bag masks, required Blutos, TV-ready incest, “Jokes That Wouldn't Work Today” Bingo, attempted karate, Terror Train connections, and much, much more!! So join us at Lizzie Borden for a get-together to die for!! List to Pretty in Podcast's excellent National Lampoon's Class Reunion episode. Read the David J.

What is peak horror comedy? One could make the argument that this week's film ascended near the top and became the finest genre spoof of the new century. That's right, we're taking a trip to little ol' place where we can get together… and die for the amusement of the Elder Gods - 2012's THE CABIN IN THE WOODS!! Along the way, we dig into the haunted basement of the film's origins, unpack how the movie explains bad horror movie character archetypes, make out with a moose, and celebrate Johnny Friday or whatever his name was! All this, plus we revisit Count Orlon's time management issues, bloody blowholes, phantom virgins, off brand Cenobites, and the most complicated edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure ever attempted!! So come on in, put up your feet, breathe in the pheromones and intoxicants, and stay awhile - won't you? Listen to Pretty in Podcast's excellent National Lampoon's Class Reunion episode.

In 1993 Dolph Lundgren followed up his villainous role in Universal Soldier with this underrated chase thriller. In Army of One (also known as Joshua Tree) Lundgren plays Anthony Wellman Santee, an escaped convict who carves a warpath through the California desert as he attempts to clear his name and take vengeance on the crooked cops who set him up. Taking inspiration from the “California desert” pictures of the ‘60’s and ‘70’s, Army of One is packed with bloody shootouts, high speed car chases, and Lundgren as the ultimate badass. The directorial debut of legendary Hollywood stuntman Vic Armstrong, Army of One is fairly basic in terms of its story, yet that didn’t deter Armstrong or Lundgren from delivering a memorable shoot-em-up! Joining me to chat this violent VHS-gem of the ‘90’s is David J. Moore, author of the excellent reads The Good, The Tough, and The Deadly: Action Movies and Stars 1960’s – Present and World Gone Wild: A Survivor’s Guide to Post-Apocalyptic Movies. Which clichés of ‘90’s action movies does Army of One have fun with? How did Armstrong make the most of the film’s modest budget? How integral is the film’s setting, particularly Joshua Tree, to the film as a whole? How does the score help differentiate the film from all the other action flicks of the ’90’s? And was this film in fact the first American production to capitalize on the John Woo / Hong Kong style of filmmaking? Join David and I as we discuss Army of One, his action movie compendium book, and Dolph’s role in the realm of action heroes! Major thanks to David J. Moore for joining me. Please pick up his books on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or wherever books are sold! Feel free to rate and review the show on iTunes, Stitcher, or wherever else you subscribe!

First on today's episode, I start with a quick introduction in regards to the Patreon account I've begun, then we launch into a really informative discussion about the art of documentary filmmaking with KING COHEN director Steve Mitchell. (The same creative mind behind the script for CHOPPING MALL). And then, the legendary Larry Cohen was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to talk about his career, his approach towards filmmaking and writing, as well as an upcoming horror anthology project involving himself and JJ Abrams!
