As word spread about the mysterious ghost, paranormal investigators flocked to the home, aiming to unravel the truth behind Wright's existence. They conducted numerous investigations, employing advanced equipment and psychic mediums to capture evidence and communicate with the ethereal entity. Over time, a historical narrative surrounding Wright began to emerge. Photographs of Wright and eyewitness accounts became the subject of intense debate within the paranormal community. Skeptics questioned the authenticity of the images, while believers were convinced of the spirit's presence. Despite ongoing investigations and research, the true identity and motives of Wright the Ghost remain elusive to this day.

Tim Biskup is a Southern California artist whose practice is focused mainly on abstract and figurative painting, but also extends into sculpture, printmaking and music. He went to art school before entering the animation and illustration industries, where he honed his technical skills. In 1999 he gathered a community of artists and began hosting live art auctions at bars around Los Angeles. He quickly found an audience for his personal work and began a career showing his art in gallery settings. His complex color and design theories pushed forward a decidedly populist aesthetic which has continued to develop and morph over the years. From early 2017 until early 2020 he hosted open studio events at a small gallery space called Face Guts in Glassell Park, CA. In October of 2019 Tim's retrospective monagraph/autobiography Tree of Life was published by Chronicle Chroma.

Welcome to The Come Up, a podcast that interviews entrepreneurs and leaders. Dan Levitt:I chose the safer Disney route. Again, I needed to pay the bills. But I made a promise to myself. Every day, I saw someone else doing what I wanted to do. They were the AbsolutePunks of the world. Or there were other people who turned the music blog into an A&R career, or leveraged it in other ways.I'm good at seeing gaps in the marketplace and where could you go in it. I made a promise. The next time I see it, I'm fucking going for it. Chris Erwin:This week's episode features Dan Levitt, the founder and CEO of Long Haul Management. Dan grew up in Boston with an early love for music and yet-to-be-discovered bands. So, after wrapping a few acts in high school and interning at Philly radio stations during college, he kicked off his career by moving to LA with absolutely no job prospects.But after a few A&R gigs at Columbia Records and Disney, Dan was early to see how digital and YouTube were going to transform the music industry. So, he left traditional media and kicked off his digital career, joining one of the early YouTube multichannel networks, company called Big Frame.We actually worked together there. And in less than nine months, I actually had to lay him off. Dan struck out on his own, positioned himself as the YouTube guy for the music industry and started his own talent shop, Long Haul Management.Some highlights of our chat include how Dan paid rent while making only $6,000 a year when he first moved to LA ... You'll crack up at some of his many side hustles ... when he beat me in an office rap battle, executive producing one of YouTube's premium original series, and what it's like to represent some of the biggest sports and gamer personalities on the internet. All right, let's get to it. Dan, thanks for being and the podcast. Dan Levitt:Thanks for having me. Chris Erwin:Awesome. I believe that you're a fellow East Coaster like myself. So tell me, where did you grow up? Dan Levitt:Sure, I'm from a nice suburb of Boston, Newton, Massachusetts. Literally voted safest city in America back when I was younger. So, nice Jewish suburb of Boston. Chris Erwin:Got it. It's funny. I went to underground at Tufts in Medford/Somerville. I think, while I was there, it was rated one of the most dangerous mafia-driven neighborhoods in the Northeast, or all of the US. So, quite the opposite of you. What was your household like? What were your family and parents doing? Dan Levitt:So, one, my parents are both from South Africa. They moved to the US in, I think, '77. My dad went to school for engineering, and then got a job in Boston, and then eventually started his own software business that really had a bunch of ups and downs. Mostly ups, and then fortunately sold to IBM right before the big bubble burst there. So, the timing was fortunate. Dan Levitt:And then my mom was artist. So, had all kinds of different things she would do in the art space, be it theater, be it actual prints and displays and stuff. Chris Erwin:Okay, very cool. It's funny. I've known you for about a decade and I had no idea your parents were from South Africa. Look, you're an entrepreneur. You've built out an incredible talent management firm. We're going to get to that in a bit. But you have entrepreneurial roots in your family. Dan Levitt:It's interesting now. I remember my dad would come back ... I think maybe at the height, he had 50, 60 people. Maybe more. I remember growing up, he'd come back from work and we'd be watching a Celtics game. It was the most exciting game ever, especially, they were really good back then. Dan Levitt:And he would fall asleep, and I'd be like, "How in the world can you possibly fall asleep during this game?" And now, I'm like, "Yep, I get it." Yeah, I could totally get how you could be so wiped out the day that, no matter what is on TV, you're just out. Dan Levitt:I mean, what was really interesting is, my parents went through a kind of messy divorce. We don't need to get into that but that's a whole fun story. But what's interesting is, when they separated, he stayed with a friend for a bit. And he went from sleeping in the basement of a friend's house to selling his business to IBM in a year. Dan Levitt:There were a lot of times that people told him, because the business had some challenges over the years, there were a lot of people that told him that he should declare bankruptcy with the business. But he stayed with it. And eventually, it worked out for him. I'm sure, hopefully, some of the resiliency I have, learned from him. Chris Erwin:Wow. Awesome. I have to ask. Being from Boston, a lot of media professionals from Boston have a pretty strong Boston identity. I think of Dave Portnoy in Barstool Sports, and Bill Simmons from The Ringer. Do you think of yourself like that, or your total West Coast transplant now? Dan Levitt:It's not just specific to Boston, but especially in the Northeast, there's a certain intensity and, I think, an edge that you can have, where in Boston, in traffic, if someone cuts you off, you scream at each other. And that's just acceptable and that's how you vent, right? Dan Levitt:In LA, it's much different than that. I'm in LA now. On the West Coast, people are more scared of confrontation. If you scream at someone, that's a really big deal. I think there's just a certain firm mentality that you have where it's pretty hard to bother me or get under my skin. Dan Levitt:I have thick skin. I do think part of that is just growing up in a culture where people are so up front with that. I also think, to a certain extent, growing up in cold climate where the weather is pretty brutal, and you just have to plow through it, does give some sort of mental toughness. Chris Erwin:I think that's totally right. I think there's this saying. I hope I'm not butchering it. But it's, "In New York, when people are saying, 'Fuck you,' they're saying, 'Good morning.' In the West Coast, when they say, 'Good morning,' they're saying, 'Fuck you.'" Dan Levitt:Yeah. I mean, but it's more so ... I remember in one of my first PA jobs in LA, I had a disagreement with another PA about the way things should be done. And then later on, I was brought into the office by my supervisor and they're like, "Dan, you were screaming at them. Why?" Dan Levitt:And I was like, "I wasn't screaming at them. I was telling them something they didn't want to hear in a certain tone. If I was screaming at them, they would know. Everybody would know." So, that was really the first ... I just moved to LA and I was like, "Shit, I got to really be cognizant of how I talk to people out here. They're going to think I'm a fucking lunatic," which, to a certain extent, is true. But maybe I need to slow play that a bit. Keep my response- Chris Erwin:It's part of your je ne sais quoi, as they say. Nothing- Dan Levitt:Yeah. I mean, you know me really well. But for people who just meet me, I can be a lot. Chris Erwin:Yeah, so let's actually talk about how you got to where you are today. I think, trying to get a sense of, was there a glimpse in your early days of you entering entertainment, becoming a talent manager? I think about things that you had mentioned that you were looking at unsigned bands in high school in the '90s. Tell me about that. Dan Levitt:My skillset is, I'm really good at seeing patterns and seeing where things are going, right? Before they get there. So, I think that's what I'm best at, be it entertainment or trends. I've done okay in the stock market, investing and stuff. So, specific to your question, yeah. Dan Levitt:My first real strong passion was music. I heard Green Day and it changed my life. And I was like, "This is it." And then I definitely have the personality type where if I'm into something, I'm all the way fucking in. So, if I like Green Day, okay, I need ever record they've ever had. Dan Levitt:So, I started, the mid '90s or so, music was starting to shift to digital, right? So, you used to discover bands on the radio, and then around that time, there started to be primitive websites. Around when Napster first came out, there started to be people who would put MP3s online, right? Dan Levitt:So, now here are these blogs that are hosting MP3s. So, they would be posting bands that would be signed to record labels. And I would like these bands. I'd find then, I'd like them, and then they'd get big a year later. It was like, "Oh, I'm pretty good at knowing which bands are going to be big later." Dan Levitt:And then, one site in particular started focusing on unsigned bands, and I said, "Oh, these unsigned bands are pretty good. I think they're going to make it." And then they would get signed and they would make it. So, I saw, "Hey, I'm pretty good at ... " Dan Levitt:And I started learning more about the industry. And at that point, originally, my job was to, "Hey, I wanted to work as a music direct on the radio helping find the songs." And then I realized, "Hey, actually the best way I can help musicians is to work at a record label." So then, it was my dream to be an A&R guy to sign a band and help them break. Chris Erwin:And any genre focus? What types of music were you listening to? Was it Green Day punk? Stuff like that? Dan Levitt:More like the new metal, like the Korn. I know you're obviously a huge Limp Bizkit fan. That kind of stuff. Chris Erwin:Three Dollar Bill, Y'all Dan Levitt:Sure, exactly, right? Around that time was the Linkin Parks of the world and that kind of stuff. That was really the scene that I was into. I still had an appreciation for more pop music and stuff like that. But really, the rock, I would say, is the genre that I was into and certainly having a great moment then. Dan Levitt:Yeah, so then there were a few sites. And I remember trying to email people, and bands, and managers, and see what I could do. But I was just a kid in high school. Again, this is, I'm downloading songs over a dial-up modem. Chris Erwin:DSL. Dan Levitt:Yeah, exactly. This was not how easy it was today. That was the dream. But I didn't know anyone at entertainment. There was no path to it. I was like, "Could I start my own record label and fund it?" But that seemed so far from being feasible. Chris Erwin:Yeah, were you reaching out to any of these bands direct, or was it, you're just thinking about what you want to do after college? Dan Levitt:Yeah, I had a buddy from summer camp who was, at the same time ... This is the late '90s. He started interning at record labels in New York and started getting a bit of traction. So, we were talking about, "Hey, maybe we should start our own label." And there were one or two bands that we approached. They didn't really respond. It didn't go anywhere. Chris Erwin:Oh, I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall to hear the pitch of you pitching a band in high school to sign with you. Dan Levitt:I forget what the value proposition was, but that band didn't really go anywhere. They probably should've given us a shot. Chris Erwin:You're doing this in high school, and then you end up going to Temple University in Philly. Does the dream start to take form there? What happens? Dan Levitt:No. I wanted to be a bit more conservative. And I was like, "Hey, I know I want to get into entertainment. I know I want to be on the business side. What's interesting to me is the intersection of art and commerce. But these jobs are going to be really hard to get. So, as a background, why don't I get a business degree, just to give me some kind of stability and baseline of knowledge?" Dan Levitt:So, I went to school at Temple. There's all kinds of story. My dorm room burnt down freshman year. Just the craziest shit happened. Chris Erwin:Wait, did you cause that or was it somebody else? Dan Levitt:No, no. Well, it's a point of contention. My roommate was lighting candles for some reason at 10:00 in the morning. But the fire marshal said it was electrical outlet. It's a whole thing. But anyways, went to Temple. Actually, before I left, I interned at a radio station in Boston. Then I interned at radio stations in Philly because that was really the only ... Dan Levitt:There weren't record labels in Boston, at least that I was aware of, in Philly. So, I just interned at radio in hope that I could make my way up there. But then I saw, man, the radio jobs ... I mean, and this was back then. I could only imagine now. Radio's not glamorous at all. It's really bare bones. The budgets are next to nothing. No one leaves these jobs. The jobs didn't pay great. Dan Levitt:So, I realized, "Hey, I thought I wanted to do radio, but this is not for me." And then that was more like, "Okay, I want to work for a record label." That was the dream. Be an A&R guy. Chris Erwin:In graduating Temple, which I think is around 2004, do you go immediately ... Do you have a job lined up? Like you're going to a record label. You're pumped going to the big city? Dan Levitt:I don't know why. I wasn't really actively hustling for a gig. I guess I assumed, "Oh, the college sets up some interviews and stuff." Nothing. So, a couple of my buddies went there. Temple has a really good film program, so most of my friends actually weren't on the business program. They were more on the film side. Dan Levitt:So, a couple of my buddies were moving out to LA to get started in their careers. So, I knew the music industry at that time was really New York or LA. And the last winter in Boston, the high was like eight degrees. I'm not one to complain about the cold, but I was too fucking cold. Dan Levitt:So, I was like, "Do I move to New York with no gig where it's crazy expensive and the weather's brutal, or maybe I should I try LA and see what it's like over there." So, I moved here without any job, and hoping that I'd figure it out. Chris Erwin:So, you're showing up without a lot of savings. No clear job prospects. Moving with a couple friends but don't really know anyone on the West Coast. So, there's a timeline here where it's like, "Hey, I got to figure something out probably in the next couple months," right? Dan Levitt:Totally. Maybe a couple grand. Thankfully, at least rent back then was a lot less than it is now. I think me and my buddies got a house in Glendale ... well, maybe Eagle Rock area or Glassell Park for maybe $1,000 between us three. It was pretty inexpensive. I had some cost but I had a little bit of room to work with there. Chris Erwin:Yeah, so you show up with maybe a couple suitcases. You're in LA. What's your mentality? Are you pumped? Are you excited? Are you also scared? And then what do you start doing to sow your roots? Dan Levitt:Really, it was just like, "Okay, I have a business degree. Surely, I can get an entry-level job somewhere doing marketing." And just nothing. Barely interviews. Fucking nothing. So, I was just like, "All right, let me just ... " Couple of my buddies started PAing, so I did some PA gigs. Dan Levitt:But even in those gigs, you really have to hustle. You have to networks. And the gig ends and then you've got to get another job. And then that one ends. You got to get another job. I didn't really want to jump from job to job. There's late-night shoots. It would mess up my sleep schedule. Dan Levitt:I was a much different person. I was a lot lazier. I didn't think things would come to me. I just thought it would be easier. Chris Erwin:It's funny to hear you say that, because who you are now, who I have seen you evolve from since the Big Frame days in 2013, right? When you left. You are such a go-getter. Eye on the ball. Laser focus. Massive hustler. So, I guess this was an important experience for you to train that muscle and change your mentality. Dan Levitt:For some background, I am not a type ... Now, I'm probably type A, but I promise you, I was not type A. For context, I don't know what my GPA was in high school. Maybe a 2.3. It was not good at all. At all. I was a bad student. For context, in second grade, I already wasn't doing homework just I couldn't be bothered to do it. I could do it. Dan Levitt:I could pass everything and do it well. For some reason, it wasn't interesting to me. Probably wasn't until after I left Big Frame when I really had to figure stuff out for my own. But I had to really flip that switch and become that person. There's some people who just born type A. That's been a constant evolution for me. Chris Erwin:But your first job, you do get an A&R job at Columbia Records, which is part of Sony Music, I think in March 2005. How did that come to be and what was that experience like? Dan Levitt:Oh, this is a great story about how this ends. The buddy I mentioned earlier who was interning at record labels, he was able to move up. I think he was actually probably the youngest A&R guy in Sony history, at least at the time. He helped get John Legend signed and Coheed and Cambria. So, after John- Chris Erwin:Favorite band, Coheed and Cambria. Jersey band in the metalcore punk-ish type scene. Love them. Dan Levitt:Yeah, I think that was one of the first things he got signed. And then after he helped get John Legend signed, who they had passed on maybe five or six times, then they started, "Oh, maybe we should listen to him." He got promoted. At the time, the music industry was really going through an interesting transition. This is 2005. Dan Levitt:So, this is after the height of the boy band and rock. CD sales are declining now, relative to all-time highs. What was happening was, you were seeing a lot of executive turnover. So, a lot of execs who got these amazing lucrative deals in the good old days were getting or not renewed. So, there was a lot of turnover. Dan Levitt:So, what happened was, at that time, most of the A&R people for Columbia Records were in New York. But they needed someone lower level in LA to go see shows for them, especially at that point, the live shows. Especially in rock and other genres is a big part of a band's success. Dan Levitt:They didn't really have anyone lower and my buddy knew that I was still hustling. I'm working retail at that point. I'm working at The Vitamin Shoppe just to pay the bills, right? Because I didn't want the hustle of the random PA gigs. Keep in mind, I'm still applying for marketing jobs at a Nestle's and other more consumer products. Dan Levitt:I'm applying at entertainment too, but everyone is entry ... And this is even worse now. An entry-level job, they want you to have experience. I didn't have any work experience. I had a couple internships. So, I'm just working retail. My buddy is basically able to get me a job working for Columbia Records, but part-time, right? Dan Levitt:So, I'm basically working at The Vitamin Shoppe during the day, and then at night, going out and doing A&R for Columbia Records, albeit, in a part-time capacity. And I'm just fucking praying that no one I know from the music world comes into the store. Dan Levitt:So, it's really a one foot in, one foot out. And I'm basically just trying to do what I can to find the next great act for them to sign. So, that I can get recognized, and that I can do this full-time, and quit the soul-sucking day job. Chris Erwin:How much were you making as an A&R exec at this point? Dan Levitt:I might have been making maybe $125 a week. I think it was definitely between six and seven grand a year. So, not by any means enough to pay the bills, but not terrible, especially back then as a side. Keep in mind, if you look at it from an hourly perspective, I'm not really doing much. Maybe I go to one or two shows a night. Dan Levitt:By the way, I'm on the guest list for shows. I can walk into The Viper Room and the people there know me. I can just go in. So, I'm seeing amazing shows. I'm meeting people in the industry. I'm meeting managers. Meanwhile, anyone I meet, I'm trying to see if I can work with them. Dan Levitt:I'm applying for job after job. Entry-level manager assistant, $24,000. I'm applying. At that point, I have Columbia Records on my resume, and still barely getting bites. Even then, for whatever reason, I wasn't getting the gigs. It was a really, really tough time. Dan Levitt:It's worth noting, this was before the tech started. This was before SoundCloud. This is before some of the first music startups. So, there really wasn't much opportunity to get a gig somewhere. I interviewed at some of the music marketing companies like Streetwise. Dan Levitt:And this is building street teams and digital street teams. I wanted to do all that shit. I had some experience and still couldn't get in. Columbia Records. So one, it's kind of laughable now, but I discovered Arctic Monkeys extremely early. They only had three songs online. No one had heard of them in the US. No sales. Nothing. Dan Levitt:So, I have a bunch of buddies that I would send songs to. This is when The Strokes are first hitting, right? I find them on one of the music blogs that I like. These songs are ... I'm into them but I don't love it. I send it to a bunch of buddies and universally, everyone of them were like, "This is the best thing you've ever sent." Dan Levitt:And I was like, "Really? Wow." So then, I pitched them to Columbia Records and they're, "Oh, this is cool. It's this cool indie rock thing. But it's three guys in the UK. There's no sales. There's no history. It'd be really hard for us to fly them back and forth. But thanks for bringing it up." Dan Levitt:I didn't really know that I had to keep following up. "Hey, there's starting to be some noise." I didn't know. No one taught me how to do A&R or how to pitch, had to follow up. Again, it's not like I'm going into an office. I'm just remote because I still had the day gig. Dan Levitt:So, anyways, eventually there were Arctic Monkeys and Lily Allen, a few things that I pitched that ended up hitting eventually. And then it got to the point where Sony Music was having a weekend where they were bringing in ever Sony Music employee to New York to do this whole song and dance about their roster. Dan Levitt:So, I basically request vacation time from my dad gig to go to New York. Again, Columbia Records is paying me $125 a week, but they're flying me to New York and put me up in a fancy hotel. Chris Erwin:It's like half your salary. Dan Levitt:Oh, no, by far, they spent way more on this. I mean, anyways, it was a weekend in Greenwich, Connecticut with the A&R team. So, I get called into the head A&R's office on the Friday. He's like, "Hey, Dan, I have some great news for you. Thanks for everything you've done. We're going to make you full-time. We're just waiting to hear from accounting on how much that's going to be. We'll get back to you." Dan Levitt:And I'm like, "This is what I've been fucking working my whole life for." And then right afterwards, we get on the bus to go to Greenwich, Connecticut. And Columbia had just brought on Steve Lillywhite, the producer who produced all the big U2 records, Dave Matthews. Albums I fucking grew up on. I'm shooting the shit with him now. Dan Levitt:We go to the head of the label's house, and there's all these Korn, and Rage Against the Machine, and all these albums that were so meaningful to me. All the plaques. It was a weekend where I felt like I was one of them now. My whole life, I've been trying to get in, and now I'm finally in. Still today one of the best weekends of my life. Dan Levitt:And then I fly back and it's Monday. And I'm back in the day job. And I'm just waiting for the phone call. I'm just waiting for the phone call about how much more money it's going to be. I'm so fucking ready. I get the call. "Hey, Dan, we have some bad news. We're not going to have room for you anymore. Sorry, but thanks for everything you've done." Chris Erwin:Wow. Just fast like that? Almost no emotion? Just, boom. Dan Levitt:No, no, to his credit, he was really apologetic. But I was fucking shellshocked because the call I got where I thought, "Okay, this is the phone call. I'm about to quit. I'm about to quit day job," was just the carpet ripped out from under me. Dan Levitt:I had the day job but at least I was grinding at night, hoping to get somewhere. Now, that was taken from me. And now I'm like, "Fuck, I'm about to be 25 with a business degree, working retail. This is not how I thought shit was going to go." Dan Levitt:So, it ends up being revealed later on, it wasn't clear at that time, but basically, Columbia Records was bringing on Rick Rubin and he wanted his own people. But it was just a gut shot at the time. Chris Erwin:So, Dan, you get into a few side hustle. And I think one of them culminates in you doing chat room marketing for cream cheese. But tell us a couple highlights here because I think some of these side hustles, like swap meets, is still involved in your life today. Dan Levitt:It's always fun for me, trying to figure out new ways to make money. It's a lot easier now with the internet and stuff. It wasn't back then. I was a big focus group slut. I would do anything. Promote anything. So, I would get really good at filling out focus group surveys. Dan Levitt:I knew how they wanted you to answer, and so I would do ... For example, I've been paid to eat tofu. I've been paid to eat gum. I've been paid to eat McDonald's breakfast sandwiches. I got paid to play a Xbox Kinect before it came out. I've been paid to look at marketing materials. Dan Levitt:I've been paid to play with phones, and gadgets, and look at Cirque du Soleil. All kinds of stuff. Especially in LA, I'm sure this is the case in maybe a lot of big cities, but there's a lot of companies that do focus groups both in person. And I was just a maniac. Dan Levitt:There were a few Twitter accounts that popped up from those. It's like, "Hey, if you're this and you're this, fill it out." So, I would just ... whatever I could to try to get in. Chris Erwin:And this was paying the bills for you, so this was important. Dan Levitt:I think one year, I made maybe eight grand doing it. My first couple years in LA, I might have made only $20, $30 grand, so it was pretty significant. There was a store in LA that, on Sundays, would sell clothes, some vintage, some new, for a dollar. Dan Levitt:I would go and I'd buy most of the men's stuff. I'd list it on eBay. Basically, anything I sold it for was profit. I ended up getting fired from The Vitamin Shoppe. That's not really an interesting story. There was a company doing ... This would be summer 2008. They were doing experimental digital marketing. Dan Levitt:So, they were basically going into chat rooms essentially spamming message points. But then also, you had to have one-on-one conversations with people where you'd have to work in talking points, which was really fucking hard. Especially, how do you work cream cheese into a conversation organically? But I got fucking really good at it. Dan Levitt:So, within two days, I got so good at it that, by the end of the first week, I was promoted to the night shift manager. So, you would drop the campaign talking points into the chat. But really, it was all about these one-on-one conversations because basically, this agency would take those conversations, chop them up, make them clean, and then share it with the brand, and, "Hey, look, we're doing this subtle marketing for you." Chris Erwin:What was one of the lines that was something that you custom crafted that you were known for? Dan Levitt:This is really interesting psychology. What everyone else would do was, they would try to hit up a million people to try to find one, and try to work it in. They would brute force it. I took the opposite approach. I was like, "I'm going to ask other people online about themselves, and then just as conversations go, they'll flip it. And they'll ask me about myself." Dan Levitt:And then I'm like, "Oh, yeah." Put one of the common ... "Oh, what do you do for work?" I'm not going to say the brand's name but it's a city where I went to school. But it's like, "Hey," we couldn't say, "I work at." We had to say, "I work with X cream cheese company." "Oh, really? I love cream cheese. Cool." Dan Levitt:And then it's like, "Oh, what do you use it on?" "Oh, I can use it for cheesecakes or stuff like that." Or there's another site that's harder to use but you could actually see people's images. Think Myspace era. It wasn't Myspace but similar. Dan Levitt:So, I would identify people that I thought, based on physical attributes, might be interested in cream cheese. And I'd just message them and chat with them. But man, that was one of the funnest jobs I ever had, more so because, as a guy, it's not so bad. You're mostly talking to girls. As a girl on the internet trying to talk to guys about cream cheese, the kind of shit that they would hear was just- Chris Erwin:Probably a dark rabbit that we will not go down. So, Dan, then you head to A&R at Disney around September 2008. How did that come to be? Dan Levitt:My roommate used to do HR for Disney, right? So, keep in mind, at that point actually, I'd left the cream cheese job. And I'm working in a movie theater. I'm making $8.50 an hour. I got my side hustles. So, I see a job posting for A&R coordinator. Dan Levitt:I ping my roommate and I'm like, "Hey, do you know the recruiter for this gig?" And he did. It was someone he used to work closely with. So, I was able to customize my resume and it went directly to the recruiter from a friendly ... I remember the weekend I saw the job, I was in Chicago for a wedding. Dan Levitt:And I remember holding back my friend for an hour, so I could tweak it before we went and got pizza. I applied on a Friday. And then I got back and basically, I think that day, the recruiter called. I had a phone interview. And basically, the next Friday, I had a gig. Chris Erwin:Wow. That moved very fast in contrast to your other stuff. Dan Levitt:Unheard of for Disney. And the salary was in the mid-40s. Again, I had a Columbia Records gig, but it paid next to nothing. And now, I have an A&R job at Disney with a real fucking salary and amazing benefits, and it happened so quick. And I had been out here for five years grinding. Just grinding. Chris Erwin:Did you feel you had made it at that point, like, "I've made it. I'm here"? Dan Levitt:It wasn't that I made it. It was that I made it out of retail because to this day, I ... There's absolutely nothing wrong with working retail, I did it forever, but I don't want to do it again. I don't want to interact with the public. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe how fast it happened. And just like that, my whole world changed. Dan Levitt:I was so appreciative and so thankful to have a gig that provided some stability that was in a industry that I wanted. You meet someone, you tell them you work for Disney, it changes the perception of you, right? And certainly for me, who'd been trying to get a real industry gig, it was fun to ... I knew that I had the chops, and it was finally someone recognizing it. Chris Erwin:Hey, listeners, this is Chris Erwin, your host of The Come Up. I have a quick ask for you. If you dig what we're putting down, if you like the show, if you like our guests, it would really mean a lot if you could give us a rating wherever you listen to our show. It helps other people discover our work and it also really supports what we do here. All right, that's it, everybody. Let's get back to the interview. Chris Erwin:After this, you end up going to, call it, the YouTube revolution of Big Frame. So, I'm just curious, while you're at Disney, was there anything about emerging media, digitally native artists that you were focused on during those four years? Trying to sense a through line here. Dan Levitt:After I left the Columbia Records gig or got let go, I saw these people who had these music blogs that were starting to go with their own reputations as tastemakers. So, I thought, "Oh, maybe I should do that for myself. Maybe instead of working for a record label and being a tastemaker, maybe I should do that on my own, with my blog or something." Dan Levitt:But I didn't really have the technical prowess to do the blog stuff. It seems like, "Oh, it should've been easy." Blogs and stuff were not easy back then. So actually, I started doing online video. I bought an HD camera. This must've been very early YouTube days. Dan Levitt:But I actually, with a buddy, recorded some HD music industry podcasts where we talked about music industry news and stuff. But I think I would post it on YouTube, but sadly and stupidly, because YouTube didn't monetize then, I put it on Revver where they did monetize. R-E-V-V-E-R was sort of a YouTube competitor at the time that did monetize. Dan Levitt:And I was like, "Oh, I want to make money doing this," so even though there's more audience on YouTube, I put it there. And nothing happened that I didn't ... It was hard relying on my buddy, who was great to schedule this. I didn't stick with it. So, I didn't stick with it. But I was doing it semi-consistently. Dan Levitt:But then when I got the Disney job, I asked if I could continue doing it, and they were like, "No, you're doing A&R for us. You obviously can't be talking about acts that aren't signed to Disney." So, I put that on the side and then I saw the early podcast boom. Dan Levitt:Again, I'm listening to Bill Simmons. I'm listening to Carolla. Saw the podcast thing happening. So, while I'm at Disney, especially I'm a couple year in, it was a decent job but my department is pretty strict. I wasn't given the freedom that you would think an A&R guy would have. It was a lot more administrative. Dan Levitt:It was a glorified assistant, right? It wasn't an A&R role. They truly did not care about my opinion for acts in my estimation, especially the label side. I worked for the publishing side. I tried to get in with the label guys and it didn't really work. Dan Levitt:A couple years in, I'm starting to think, "Okay, I got to get out of here." This was great, but I'm like, "I'm going to be a 30-year-old A&R guy who's never got anything signed. And if lose this gig ... " And again, this is the industry especially 2008, 2009, 2010, sales are going way down. Dan Levitt:This is when streaming is just starting. So, I'm trying to meet whoever I can, right? So actually, this is when SoundCloud first starts. I was up for a gig there. I had some friends record some messages recommending me. I had a great relationship of amazing songwriters and artists that I was an advocate for, that hadn't really made it or were just starting to. Dan Levitt:I tried to get at SongKit and all these things that were starting. I actually tried to get a job at Spotify. I'm actually one of the first 500 people in the US to have a Spotify account. I had an account for two years before it launched. Chris Erwin:I think what I'm hearing is that you've also applied to every single music company, I think, in the world by this point. Dan Levitt:Yeah, but especially the good ones, right? I loved what SoundCloud was doing. Really at the time, they were so innovative. And they were solving their big problem, which was hosting audio. The role that I wanted was helping artists get on the platform and figure stuff out. Dan Levitt:So, around that time, again, I always believed in YouTube. I was doing it for myself. And then obviously Justin Bieber broke. And I'm looking on YouTube and I'm seeing these kids who are doing mid-tempo acoustic ballads, because that's all they can do, because that's what you do when you start. Dan Levitt:But they were doing covers and building an audience. And I was like, "The originals aren't that good. And I know all these amazing songwriters and producers that right now getting cuts in a major label system, because it's a fixed game, because the heads of the A&R start separate publishing divisions. And those people get the singles." Dan Levitt:So, I was like, "What if I actually brought some artist development into this YouTuber space where these people have done the hardest part. They've built an audience," right? There was one day on Twitter, the YouTube Creators account on Twitter posted that they were having an event at ... This is before the YouTube Space ... at YouTube's offices where they were talking about what makes a video successful on YouTube. I said, "That'll probably be good for me to know." Dan Levitt:I went and Sarah from Big Frame, who we both know well, was on the panel. She was talking about how she started a business and she was managing YouTubers. I was surprised that this was a thing, that there was enough of a business for there to be managers. Dan Levitt:Not only that, really smart ... Sarah is really impressive. I was like, "Wow, this is wild. I had no idea this kind of scene was happening." And then someone else actually asked about music. "What should the labels do?" And she was like, "Oh, the labels have no idea what they're doing at all." Dan Levitt:And then I went up to Sarah afterwards. I was, "Oh, I work for Disney Music." She's like, "Oh, I'm so sorry." I was like, "Oh, no, you have no idea how right you are." Actually, for an anecdote about how truly out of touch, in my experience, they were ... Dan Levitt:So again, through my relationships, I was one of the first 500 in the US to have Spotify. The Spotify had their agreement. They had a few test accounts for people in the industry to get to try it. I had one. I went to the head ... maybe the number two at Disney Music. Dan Levitt:And I was like, "Hey, I got this cool thing, Spotify. Have you seen it? Have you tried it? Do you want an account?" He was like, "Oh yeah, I'm not worried about that. I don't need one." It was so clear to me this was the future and they couldn't be bothered. Dan Levitt:Even, again, I'm still kind of green, right? But I saw that, hey, by the way, when they did the Spotify deal, Universal was distributing Disney, right? Universal got equity. Warner got Equity. Sony got equity. Disney didn't get equity but Universal leveraged the market share for distributing Disney for equity in Spotify. And I asked them, "Why did you do that?" I'm a fucking coordinator and you don't have- Chris Erwin:You're seeing where the industry is headed. And the vision at the top of Disney, or particularly for the Disney Music division, they just don't get it. So, you're like, "They're not going to get it." At your level, you're not going to be able to influence them. Chris Erwin:So, you're saying, again, "I got to make a move. I got to get out of here. The future is changing and I want to be a part of it." Dan Levitt:I think the big thing was, I saw what happened in podcasts. I didn't have to but I chose the safer Disney route, right? Because I needed a gig. I needed to pay the bills. But I made a promise to myself. Every day, I saw someone else doing what I wanted to do. They were the AbsolutePunks of the world, or there were other people who turned the music blog into an A&R career, or leveraged it in other ways with all these podcasts blowing up. ** Dan Levitt:And I promised myself, I was like, "I'm good at seeing gaps in the marketplace and where could you go in it. I made a promise. The next time I see it, I'm fucking going for it." Chris Erwin:I love that. Dan Levitt:That's why, when I met Sarah and I saw ... I was like, "This YouTube thing is fucking next. No one in the music industry realizes it. Let me get in. At worst ... " After that conversation with Sarah ... The follow-up week, we had lunch somewhere. Dan Levitt:And after that conversation, I was like, "Sarah, hire me." She was like, "I can't now but we're doing raise soon. Let's stay in touch." Then afterwards, I was like, "This is fucking it. I fucking know it. I need to get in here no matter what." So, I started being very aggressive. Chris Erwin:This is probably, thinking in a Big Frame timeline, the company was founded in, I think, the second half of 2011. And they officially raised funding from the Google Original Channels program and a seed round, I think, in early 2012. And you come in the second half of 2012. But yeah, Sarah's talking about they had to get funding lined up. I jointed Big Frame, I think, in July of 2012. Dan Levitt:But at this point, after I had lunch with Sarah, I'm like, "Okay, this is it. I need to get into this space," right? So, at the time, there were three companies, right? There was Maker, there was Big Frame, and Full Swing. Those were the three big ones, right? Dan Levitt:When I stepped back, I looked. At the time, Maker was far bigger and the hot company at that point, right? The one that had the most buzz. The one that had the most resources and stuff. So, I decide that I want to ... Sarah's great but let me see if I could get a job at Maker. Dan Levitt:I have a meeting with whoever's running their music dept. And this guy, he was cool. He was okay but did not have the level of sophistication or music knowledge that I had, right? And I think, especially, it's worth considering, at this point, the space is so new, there's no one with Sony and Disney A&R. The level of traditional level of music in the space at all. But I decide I'm going to go for it. Dan Levitt:I meet with him. It's a decent interview. And then I decide I really want to go out of my way to show them that I want this, right? So, at the time, Maker had 100 employees. So, the next day, I send over 100 Krispy Kreme doughnuts to the Maker office with a note, "Let's make sweet music together." Chris Erwin:How did that touch work out for you? Dan Levitt:I got a second interview. Literally, people in Maker are Tweeting about it, right? And I thought, "Look, at worst, it'll be memorable and maybe they'll think about me in the future. And at best, if I get the gig, everyone's going to like me from day one, because I'm the doughnut guy." Dan Levitt:Again, I'm real fucking desperate to get out of Disney at this point. I see the writing on the way, especially, one thing to mention is that at this time, we're talking 2012, the publishing division had merged with the record labels. And essentially, the head of one of the record labels was now the new music group boss. Dan Levitt:I was at Sony after the Sony BMG merger and I saw people getting picked off one by one. And I saw the same thing happening at publishing. I said, "This was a merger, the record side won, and the publishing people are going to go one by one." As soon as I saw the first domino fall, I was fucking on it. So, I definitely feel like there's an ax going over my head slowly descending. Chris Erwin:Yeah, so the timeline is compressing. You got to make moves. Okay, so after Disney, do you then apply to Big Frame? What happens next? Dan Levitt:Yeah, eventually, I end up ... I apply to Big Frame. I meet you. Chris Erwin:You said that you sent a video as part of your application, right? Dan Levitt:Right. Right. There was a job. I think, after Google acquired Next New NOW, they had a strategist role that I applied for that I didn't get. But I knew that, if you looked at my resume, you would see traditional media. I really wanted them to understand that I got digital culture. Dan Levitt:So, I made a video in addition to my resume, a fun video that played on the memes or the trends on YouTube at the time. The video was like, "Hey, I'm a big fan of YouTube. It's not just people doing the cinnamon challenge," and then it cut to me doing that, "or getting hurt," Then to me getting hit by 20 dodge balls from different angles. Chris Erwin:I actually think I vaguely start to remember this now. Dan Levitt:Yeah. Chris Erwin:Oh my God. Dan Levitt:I just knew that, especially having applied for so many gigs at traditional companies and not getting my resume seen, I wanted to make sure that in the future when I applied for a job, I was being extra. I was really going out of my way to show that I was serious about it. And also, especially with digital, that I got it the culture. That I got the space. Dan Levitt:That I'm not some stuffy guy. I really wanted to show that I was a believer in the space and to differentiate myself. Sarah actually told me after I was hired that the video did ease some of her concerns that it was going to be a more stealthy music guy, because especially at that time, the music industry and the MCNs, it was really contentious, right? Dan Levitt:It was Sony and some of the publishers having seen Myspace grow, and build, and get a huge valuation. It was very much a new emerging trend the music industry sees as a threat. And that dates back to sheet music but that's a separate tangent. Chris Erwin:Well, and to be clear, at least from my vantage point, I don't think there was any worry that you were going to be a traditional stuffy music guy, because I remember, I think, this is me and Jason Ziemianski were working on building out the different content verticals for Big Frame. Dan Levitt:Which was so smart to do. Chris Erwin:Yeah, so smart. So, we had Wonderly. We had Forefront. We also had a music vertical. We had an LGBTQ vertical and maybe one or two more. So yeah, we're thinking about music. I remember I'm in the back room. This is when we were on the Sunset Boulevard office, the old National Lampoon building. Chris Erwin:I mean, you come in for an interview and there was a window between the back room and the front. Jason pointing at you and he's like, "That's who you're going to interview. That's Dan." I remember looking at you and I had never seen anyone that looked like you. You were in a shiny silver suit. So, one thing that I thought- Dan Levitt:Yeah, the shiny suits. The famous shiny suit. Chris Erwin:Yeah. One, I thought it was weird because I was like, "Okay, this is digital video. People were a bit more casual. Jeans and T-shirts. He's in a suit. That's kind of weird. But then second, it wasn't just a normal suit. It was just something I'd never seen before." Chris Erwin:And I was like, "All right, this guy's a character." And from where I came from, I was just like ... I'm from traditional East Coast finance. So, I was started to discount you in my head, but also realizing I'm biased. I'm like, "Maybe this is the people that we want. I've never encountered someone like this but maybe this is the thinking and the pedigree that we want." Chris Erwin:So, then I remember sitting with you on the couches in the front. And you're mile-a-minute telling me your story and I'm drinking from a fire hose. I remember peppering you with questions. I don't even know what they were. But fast forward, we end up liking you and we hire you. Chris Erwin:All right, we hire you at Big Frame and this is in October 2012. What do you remember from those early days? What are you working on? Dan Levitt:I just remember being so excited, man. Sarah and you guys believing in me especially. Again, I'm pretty good at knowing where things were going. And just you guys just, "Hey, great. Music is the big thing on YouTube. Dan, figure it out. Figure out the opportunity." Dan Levitt:The belief in me was so amazing. Also, I'm coming from working at four years at Disney where, at least with my direct supervisors, I didn't feel like I was being treated as an adult. Everything was micromanaged. I was essentially chained to my desk. Dan Levitt:And moving into a role where it just felt like anything was possible. I remember getting there and there was really next to no musicians signed at all, right? I think you guys hadn't signed them because you didn't know what to do with them. There were a handful. Dan Levitt:And then I was like, "Hey, I have this idea for a music show." I knew that I would need to get a good song out of each of the talent that we'd had. So, I was like, "Hey, I know all these amazing songwriters and producers who know YouTube is next or I'm telling them. They're excited that I'm making this leap." Dan Levitt:And they're like, "Hey, YouTube's a thing. What should we do?" So, I just remember Sarah and I and you talking about this show idea. And then a week later, we had money from YouTube to do it. So, it was the biggest mind fuck because my entire career, I heard, "No." Literally, my 20s was hearing the word no. Dan Levitt:And literally, I can honestly say in the first month at Big Frame, I did more than in my 10 years at traditional. It was that quick. And I've really only heard, for the most part, heard, "Yes," ever since. But you can do so much more in the space. There aren't the same gatekeepers at Disney. If you try something new and it doesn't work, you lose your job. Chris Erwin:This flip a switch where you're like, "Okay, within the first month at Big Frame, I'm hearing, 'Yes,' and money is behind it"? So, do you start thinking, "Oh, if I'm a go-getter, there's a lot more I can do here"? Dan Levitt:I don't know that it was even that cognizant. It was more that I didn't really know which direction to go in. So, I was like, "Okay, there's a lack of artist development." One, that show ended up taking a lot more time. Chris Erwin:And you did that with Dave Days, right? Dan Levitt:Yeah. Chris Erwin:Called, the Writing Room. Dan Levitt:It's still up on YouTube, I think. It was great and we were all really happy with the songs and the shows, and got into artist development. And then while I was there, I realized, "Hey, before I go out and start signing people, I need to understand how YouTube works, especially in music where SEO is so important," because at the time, it was very much cover songs. Dan Levitt:And some of the biggest creators on the platform were doing cover songs, right? So, I needed to know how SEO worked. There was someone who was working at YouTube who reverse engineered the algorithm, and had done all this A/B testing to figure out how to grow channels. Dan Levitt:It was on the audience-development side, and that was MatPat. He had his channel, which maybe, I think, was a couple hundred thousand subscribers. But I didn't care. No one really cared much or paid much mind about his own channel. Dan Levitt:But he and I very quickly hit it off, because at that time, a lot of the managers, more so than other MCNs ... And the reason why I went with Big Frame, because I did get offers from all three, was, you guys wanted to be more high touch with a smaller roster, right? Dan Levitt:So, at that time, you guys actually were having some of the top talent on the platform sit down with MatPat, or just Mat at that time, who would basically tell them, "Hey, here's what you should be doing," and they wouldn't listen to him. But he was doing those one by one. Chris Erwin:And just to be clear, Matthew Patrick, who's now a huge YouTuber that Dan manages, he was an employee at Big Frame early days. Dan Levitt:He was a co-worker. Now he has maybe just under or close to 30 million across 4 channels, and is just one of the top channels on the platform, especially who's been able to do it for a decade. And has, probably, one of the most challenging formats where every video takes at least 100 or 200 hours in terms of scripting and post. Dan Levitt:It shouldn't work, but through pure determination and really thoughtful approach, it has worked. Anyways, he's working there. And quickly, we hit it off because, instead of just dropping the talent and him saying the same things over to talent that don't listen, I was like, "Hey, tell me. Do a knowledge transfer to me. I want to know this stuff, so that I can tell all my clients and be respectful of his time, and also learn. Dan Levitt:"I'm curious for myself. I want to know, how does SEO work and what are things I can do to grow my clients, so that we're providing value. And then once I know that, cool, let me go out and let me try sign some of the best and brightest." Dan Levitt:I thought that it would take me a while before I permeated, at least the music scene, on YouTube. By two or three months, based off of the work I was doing with one or two artists, I guess I should've went, "They all know each other. They would all collab. They all talk to each other." Dan Levitt:So, in a very short amount of time, I created a great name for myself as someone who's ... especially at that time, with the exception of Big Frame, it was scale, scale, scale. Just sign channels, get them into CMS, Comscore, Comscore. That was not Big Frame's approach. Dan Levitt:So, Big Frame really had a great reputation and I wanted to help further perpetuate that. So, not only was I helping people grow their channels, but I was setting them up with songwriters and producers, helping them figure out the different revenue streams. Dan Levitt:One of the challenges at that time was, the contracts that we had were more, at that time, standard MCN deals that only participated in ad revenue. And for most creators, that's fine, right? Because the ancillary revenues, the merch touring, and brand deals, and stuff were't there, or they were just starting. Dan Levitt:On the music side, especially then when it was confrontational with the publishers, the ad revenue is shared. So, the CPMs and the ad revenue was a lot lower take-home for the artist, and in turn, Big Frame. However, they were making significantly more and a lot more on downloads and streaming. Dan Levitt:So, I noticed, "Hey, I'm giving you advice and I'm helping you grow your channel. But we're only participating in, essentially, the least profitable revenue stream." So, I recognized, "Hey, at least in music, if we're going to be ... " And probably more broadly because we saw at time peak, and some other platforms come up that weren't YouTube. Dan Levitt:Some of the talent was trying to do stuff on their own and sort of getting exploited. And I realized, and I went to Sarah and you and said, "Hey, we might want to think about having our contracts be more robust and 360 if we're going to have this more boutique roster." Chris Erwin:Oh, I remember those conversations where we had, I think, a very short, minimal contract. Only participated in AdSense off of YouTube. Then a lot of push from the team saying, "Hey, we're doing all this work. We're impacting the 360 business of this talent. One, the company needs to get paid for it." Chris Erwin:And also, because you guys were thinking about, as talent managers, "How do you participate? What's your incentive?" Look, contracts is a whole separate thing, because I remember then the contract became like 12 pages. And then people were saying, "This is crazy. You got to make it simpler. No one's going to sign." But that's another tangent. Chris Erwin:Anyway, okay, you identify this. We start to rejigger the business. And yeah, you start building out our music vertical. Dan Levitt:It was going really well. I mean, we were getting the best talent. We just weren't monetizing the way that we wanted yet. And I was waiting on these management contracts to come in, so that we could get that ... Again, that process took longer. We were basically building ... Dan Levitt:We would've had all the best ones, right? Some of them had deals that they signed before that were, "Hey, as soon as this term ends, I'm going to join." Chris Erwin:So, I think this speaks to some mutual challenges, right? And frustration where we're trying to sort out the contracts. We're trying to sort out the business model. We're realizing at Big Frame, the music vertical is not directly making a lot of money relative to the cost that we're putting into it. Chris Erwin:Also, this is a point where I think there is some headwinds facing the MCN industry. We were having some challenges raising the needed capital and floating working capital. So, we had to make some changes. There was a discussion around, "Okay, probably going to have to shut down the music vertical, and we're going to have to let Dan go." Chris Erwin:This is something you and I talk about for the past 10 years. I remember being in the room when that conversation happens, because it was between me, and you, and Jason, I believe. Dan Levitt:I was really the first person let go. It was a growth stage. And then I was probably the first casualty, right? And to your credit, I was not surprised, because maybe a month or so before, you were like, "Hey, Dan, have you actually looked at some of the numbers in terms of what we're paying you and what you're bringing in?" Dan Levitt:Again, that seems blatantly obvious that I should've been but I wasn't. I came from a role that was very administrative and I kept doing what I knew. It wasn't clear to me that, "Oh, I'm actually responsible for ... I should be ... for my own P&L within this larger entity." Chris Erwin:In reflecting on that moment, and I don't actually think I've ever shared this before, but I think there's some realizations where, one, I think I was learning a lot about the digital entertainment industry, right? I had a very traditional background MBA. And there was a lot that I ... Chris Erwin:I knew about business and I knew that revenue had to be more than cost to get the profit. But I think I didn't understand the nuances of how this industry worked, of how you recruit talent, how you invest in a team, and figuring out the right business model. And I think listening to our talent managers, like yourself, could've been something I did with more focus and intent. Chris Erwin:But I think it was a mutual value exchange. We're all learning and I think this helped set up a lot of talent managers for success of thinking about running a sustainable business. Thinking about top line versus bottom line. And I know that there was some conversations where, yeah, I was giving clinics to you and some of the other members of the team like, "Let's sketch out some numbers and see what works here. Chris Erwin:"And it's not working. How do we get there?" And I feel that you've taken that to your new business, which has obviously been paid off in spades for you. Dan Levitt:I think me and the other talent managers there, we kind of went in wide-eyed where we knew the opportunity, and we knew where we saw things were going. But I don't think any of us had run this kind of a business like that or thought through that kind of stuff. Dan Levitt:It's just like you're trying to build the plane while you fly it. The other thing is, you obviously know this and you hear some of the stories from me and other, it's really hard dealing with talent. It's really hard dealing with talent. Especially then, one thing that I don't hear discussed as much, and I think for someone like me, who worked with traditional talent for a while, the digital talent's different, right? Dan Levitt:So, for me, working in music as an A&R guy, if I meet an artist or a musician, at least back then, they've heard, "No," a million times, right? And they understand the value of a team. On the YouTuber side, especially back then, especially early on, but it's still the same now, especially with the new breed of creators who are really fucking savvy, a lot of them don't understand the value of a team. Dan Levitt:They've hit a time when everyone's catering to them, especially the OG YouTubers who got in when you could just have deceptive thumbnails and stuff. They were not as receptive to advice that, potentially, they should've been. So, in addition to figure out how to make a business model of this thing as it's emerging, and especially, music is a lot harder in brand deals than beauty and other verticals, it was challenging. Dan Levitt:And it's compounded by, the job in working with talent is essentially to keep the unaccountable accountable. Chris Erwin:Look, I feel for you guys because I think you're working really hard dating over the past decade to figure out the business models that work for this new talent. And I think that's still happening together. And different from traditional managers, this feeling of you're always on. Chris Erwin:So, the internet doesn't shut off. It's 24/7. And you could be dealing with a brand deal that goes awry on a different timezone. And you're getting up at 4:00 AM. Or there's a YouTube channel take down that's impacting a brand deal, or a video that's meaningful to talent. And that happens at midnight, you got to be on it with a plan, a solution, and a call into the platform. That's unique. Chris Erwin:And look, that's a separate podcast to talk about all those stories. I think the collective Big Frame managers will write a book. But I will the challenge that you guys face in managing digital talent. For me, having run the talent organization and overseeing the talent managers, that's also hard because at the top, we tried to bear the burden of that stress, and give you guys the tools, and empower you. Chris Erwin:You guys demanded a lot because your talent demanded a lot. And it was admittedly hard. But I think it was a beautiful journey to go through together and we learned a lot. Dan Levitt:Yeah, I can't believe it was only eight months. I was only there eight months, which is surprising. But man, in that eight months, the professional development that I had was so far beyond. I remember saying to Steve Raymond, who was the CEO of Big Frame at the time, I remember telling him, "I'll never work for a big company again if I can avoid it." Dan Levitt:I like the startup culture. I like the fact that we're making it up, and we get to try new things, and make mistakes and do stuff. So far, I haven't had to. Chris Erwin:Before we go on and we talk about your transition to Long Haul, I think we'd be remiss if we just didn't tell one story about the upstairs rap battle. This still gets me to this day because you ended up as the winner. It pains me to this day. So, tell the listeners a quick context for our rap battle. Dan Levitt:Yeah, I don't know the origin of it. I think there might have been two. I don't know. I don't remember how it started but I think we were just ... We throw friendly jabs back and forth. And somehow, it cultivated in, "Hey, we're going to do a rap battle." Dan Levitt:I remember spending half the day writing out my stuff. I just remember the whole team was there and they were filming it. We got to find a video of it somewhere. But yeah, there was a rap battle and I was victorious. I know I went at you for ... Dan Levitt:I remember one line. You had a Ford that was giving you a bunch of challenges because all you could afford is a piece-of-shit Ford. That line really, while not being the most creative, really hit with the audience. Chris Erwin:Yeah. I think, in rap battles, you just get a sense, because like you said, everyone was watching. They were filming. Crowd's reacting. And if you track the energy, you just know who's winning. And I remember at the end with that line, the crowd just was like ... Chris Erwin:It just felt like, "All right, Dan has one this." I think we were kind of even throughout throwing these different jabs. I remember working on my script for a couple weeks. I was frustrated because I was like, "That line is ... That's not a special one. He just said Ford and afford in the same sentence." But it didn't matter. It was over. So, look, massive credit for you. Dan Levitt:You're going against a music industry professional. There were no ghostwriters but it's to be expected. So, if Chaz or anybody else wants to come for the throne, they know where I'm at. Chris Erwin:So, Dan, okay, after this let-go moment, what are you thinking about? What's next for you? Dan Levitt:When I took the gig, I knew it was going to be a roller coaster. I knew it was riskier, right? But again, I felt, "At worse, if it doesn't work out, at least I will presumably have positioned myself in the music industry as the YouTube guy. And because I know YouTube is going to be a big thing, I should be okay. I'll figure something out." Dan Levitt:And that's exactly what happened where, as soon as I let go, I hit up all my people. In that eight months, people did start to notice. Some people. I was very fortunate that, within the first month, I got two gigs doing consulting for two different startups that wanted to work with digital creators, particularly musicians, that actually paid more for a lot less work. So, I sailed up for the first time. Dan Levitt:Now, it's like, "Okay. Now, I'm actually making more money than I was at Big Frame and I have way more free time. So, what could I be doing?" And then around that time is when MatPat crossed a million subscribers. We hadn't talked in a while but there was that mutual respect, right? He's noticed that I was doing more for talent and being thoughtful. Chris

Since 1992, two homeowners in California have been communicating with an entity through Polaroids. Join us, as we dive into the story of John Huckert and John Matkowsky. We'll discuss how the communication with the spirit started, how it evolved over time and even though being thoroughly investigated how it has never been unequivocally debunked.   

Matt Macfarland shared so many amazing books and artists! We teach for the same organization, P.S. Arts, and had met a few times at PD, but it was nice to hear more about his background and his work. I love how he weaves stories together combining truth and fiction. His “teaching chronicles” are hilariously accurate to the life of an art teacher. I especially liked hearing how Matt uses books in his teaching to help discuss weighty topics. He talked about the power of stories to change minds and to empower those who tell them. Matt is a contemporary artist, cartoonist, and teacher whose ongoing graphic narrative Dark Pants follows a mysterious pair of pants through Los Angeles as they impact the lives of whomever wears them. MacFarland has also compiled his 15+ years of teaching experience into a self-published comic, The Teaching Chronicles Volume 1 and 2. His book series, My Troubles with Crumb (parts 1 and 2), documents his conflicted feelings toward his one-time artistic hero, underground cartoonist R. Crumb. Matt's current project, 4 Seasons of Gary, collects several four-panel comic strips about his father into a makeshift memoir that documents their loving but sometimes complicated relationship. His work has been written up in The Los Angeles Times, Comics Bulletin, Comics Grinder, Artillery, and X-tra Online. His artwork has been featured at such venues as 356 Mission Road, the Vincent Price Museum, Armory Center for the Arts, and Torrance Museum of Art, and his comics have been published in a variety of Comic anthologies, including Sliced Quarterly and Milk & Honey Comics. He received his MFA from Otis College of Art and Design in 2003 and currently serves as co-director of Elephant, an artist-run space in Glassell Park.

The Today Well Lived Podcast is a health and lifestyle show where friends come together to hold each other accountable in the pursuit of living each day to the best of their ability. Because being severely overweight can be an enormous problem preventing us from being the best versions of ourselves the host of the Today Well Lived Podcast are on a journey to lose the weight.This is a not safe for work podcast (NSFW) –––––––––––––Episode 050 Fuck You Diabetes–––––––––––––Drew fesses up to being a closeted diabetic and explains that he is doing Keto in order to limit sugar so as to gain control of his blood sugar numbers. So far the numbers are trending in the right direction. Pablo can’t get enough of Little Star Pizza in San Francisco, CA–––––––––––––Show Notes–––––––––––––Pablo comes into the show scared about weighing in on the scale because even though he has been having a great time with his daughter, he has been lagging somewhat in several aspects because he is staying very busy with activities including some vacations. Drew comes into the show very tired and dehydrated because he was determined to show a weightloss number on the scale for once. So he comes in very hangry but also in a good mood because he had gone to a Los Angeles Dodgers Baseball game where he actually had two beers. Drew brings in follow-up information about Monk Fruit sweetener. Monk Fruit originate from China, and has become popular enough to be included in Starbucks Double shots and in Chobani yogurts. The plant naturally has fructose and glucose but during the processing it drops the majority of fructose and glucose to get to the Mongrosides which is main substance that provides the sweetness. Some benefits of the Monk Fruits: zero Calories, antioxidant properties, anti inflammatory properties, and doesn’t cause any insulin response. Could artificial sweeteners cause bladder cancer? Drew decides to drink two beers at the ball game because after all the name of the Podcast is “Today Well Lived” and what does it mean to live well? Should he avoid the beer in order to be perfect on his diet? Given that he hasn’t had any weight loss in weeks than probably yes? But then again how often do you get a chance to go to a baseball game in the middle of the day on work day? At least for drew not often. So he chose to have just two beers. Drew bring is information about the relationship between how the body processes alcohol and how it affects weight loss. In summary, when the body receives alcohol, it will consume the alcohol first and then switch back to Ketosis when its done. However the carbohydrates in whatever the beverage could knock you out of ketosis. Therefore its best to choose drink with low sugar / carbohydrates to avoid weight gain. Pablo discusses his beer consumption initially says he drank 13 beers for the week. The boys agree to test Drews beer tolerance when he loses 70lbs. Drew’s family likes going to Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas for Beer Wenches and Jager Girls spanking.Drew’s birthday passed by and is well on his way to be forty years old but he still looking pretty good. Luis use to get mad when he would get carded and Drew didn’t even though Drew is several years older Drew averages 1am bed time. Diabetes is a monster that gains fuel from consuming sugar.–––––––––––––Music–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Track: Doing Nothing — sakura Hz [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/o5ivAJQ_iHQFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/Doing-nothing–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Key Words–––––––––––Intermittent fasting, Keto, Paleo, Juicing, Fitness 19, 24 Hour Fitness, gym, swimming, jump rope, heavy, fat, fat shame, Boston, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Postmates Salad, beer, podcasts, podcasting, Joe Rogan, The Church of What's Happening now, Bigger Pockets, apple cider vinegar weight loss, atkins diet, belly fat, best way to lose weight, detox diet, diabetic, diet, diet pills, diet plans, fat burner, hcg diet, healthy eating, how to lose weight fast, lose weight. lose weight fast, losing weight, low carb diet, meal plan, no carb diet, vegan diet, weight gain, weight loss diet, weight loss pills, weight loss tips, low carb high fat, LCHF, Carnivore, Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, Juice with Joe, Juicing, Hulk Smoothie, Green Smoothie,24 hour fitness, aerobic, athletic club, bodybuilding, crunch fitness, diet, exercise, fitness, fitness first, fitness world, fitnessstudio, gym, health, health tips, how to lose weight, la fitness, lifetime fitness, lose weight, mens health, nutrition, personal trainer, pilates, planet fitness, weight loss, workout, Zumba, Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Glassell Park, Echo Park, South Pasadena, Hollywood, North East Los Angeles, Food Truck, Tacos, Burritos Quesadilla, Churos, Colorado Donuts, California Donuts, The Donut Man, La Verne, Glendora, San Dimas, Claremont, Rancho Cucamonga, Alta Loma, Fontana, Ontario, Montclair, Pomona, Chino, Chino Hills, Eastvale, Riverside, Corona, Laker Elsinore, Corona, Redlands, San Bernardino, Mira Loma, Norco, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, Stanton, Disney Land, Long Beach, Carson, San Pedro, Torrance, La Habra, Brea, Fullerton, Improv, Comedy, Get inspired, commiserate, Fat, Cuddly, and Fuzzy, Keto Coach, ketocoach, Metformin See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Please listen subscribe review and most importantly share. Drew hates August, it's the worst month because it always seems like the hottest month. Also, August has the worst name of all the months and it's a reminder that summer is almost over. When Drew was kid he hated the month because it reminded him that school was nearing and soon would be in a hot classroom. This month the August rain ruins a good car wash for both Drew and Pablo. The weather is changing, the season are somewhat delayed to the point that the 4th of July felt like spring. Drew thinks it is poetic justice that those areas of the country are getting worst weather. Drew brings in a sample of the viral sensation known as the Miracle Berry which is technically called the Ledidi Berry and challenges Pablo to eat lemons without any added sugar. Pablo tries and think he is eating lemonade! The great thing about the effect of the berries is that you can have a sweet treats without causing any insulin responses while injecting minimal calories.

bunch of friends now used to be just two guys now now that that you guys were my friends before but now you have to be my friend yeah right %HESITATION but %HESITATION but about two guys who are really just in the hunt trying to make better versions of ourselves so that we can enjoy this life right life is fleeting and you have to enjoy every day of it and so we've put together this program this show this podcast because number one we want to be accountable to each other but the number two we wanted we we know that everything is easier when when you have help right absolutely that's one thing the struggle in silence but it's when you have help when you're surrounded with people %HESITATION that are trying to do to get to the same place it's easier to get there and especially because weight loss and this is primarily our goal is to lose weight %HESITATION over the next year or so or for a lifetime yeah %HESITATION but when you're losing weight it's it's easy to get off track it's easy to be like wow man I I didn't I don't feel good today and %HESITATION you know maybe I don't know right I do that today yeah and so it's not about being perfect it's about being as good as you can for as long as you can and you know going back to the theme of today will live %HESITATION what are you working for right what what why are we having the struggle to eat really clean is it just to be clean is it just is it is it or is it because Hey I want to be able every once in awhile to have a beer with my buddies how are you Donna or go to a wedding and not have to worry about what they're serving right is an asking like Hey is there %HESITATION any starts in that %HESITATION for her I don't I don't really worry about yeah well you know what I was gonna say person in a waiting room just

have like control and is a thing of people like I'm getting through a link at one time where they threaten the likes at the party then okay and my poor cousins you know they're like what the hell's going on they they have no control over this it's family do this everybody at the table who is doing this activity more than a for their own drinks it's not that's not what it's about since beating it's been in the place with yeah so anyways %HESITATION so let's introduce ourselves %HESITATION let's go Sir going over that trick I learned that trick from my dad if you're going to be sending the dozens integration in general you had it always under the table you know what when he was younger used to drink a lot he doesn't that much anymore FAQ doesn't at all anymore %HESITATION but yeah the trick was taught to me by my father nice I took my two liter sodas out make some already might specially square with the killer and bring along with it and say this is a special special soda the special drink specials the %HESITATION so %HESITATION my name is drew Garcia and for my two friends here they laughed because they know me is on the S. main real name is on this made my legal name but

my dad came to work typical story into work one year and what an account going back on the right yeah I thought that don't exist everybody's everybody's on some of the house on so many of the staff back in the in the Vatican in year out of your parents that the civic center yeah they were supposed to be here for a year but dad was a butcher right so in Mexico they were being you the whole cal pretty much in the hole yeah you would have to chop it up here they bring it up it up they bring it already chopped up on the side yeah he just was much is easy zero inches %HESITATION he was making he started making good money so why leave when you got a good thing yeah funny my dad came here is a truck driver at the time working in the US and he got injured and in order to be able to get a medical attention he had a live here because he was leaving in the medical %HESITATION so we just can supposedly a months maybe a year later so we're supposed to be here just not if you get surgery and then we're going to be bounced back and you're still here and I'm now I have kids and they're here yeah I got a little into they have %HESITATION my parents %HESITATION our near for damn near fifty years here hello one of the other life do at that point most of yeah well if you're more than that they live in me because I'm I'm sure I'm not sure there %HESITATION memories you know that when we were young and you know this funny what they look like to go back to make on this yeah the most of their lives you guys are grew up here in it yeah I mean my brother my brother my older brother was like five when he got here and %HESITATION and then there were three more of us so total of six and %HESITATION you know what you're referring to pretty proud that they they they they got to live their American dream right they came here with nothing right just like here it over Norian they came with nothing to lose %HESITATION was you had to get into debt just to get here my dad got deported three times and %HESITATION he can come back in the last one he didn't want to come back but my mom was like like you got your to figure it out but I'm not leaving right so you better figure out how to get back right and so %HESITATION but anyways %HESITATION now we're Americanized than we do much and when we do we give our country that the mental it's a our goals Rios sung as excessive to the to the Max code yellow here at the we have that mentality of working hard playing hard you need a hard I mean we we bust our asses and when it's time to enjoy we really enjoyed our our time and our money well you know what's interesting about the group that we're that that we have here right you two guys plus Wes is you know we've all worked together and we've all worked like outside and and different projects and different companies in I'm like if I had a job like if I was to sell some sort of business and I had to hire some people and I can hire you guys I wouldn't even think twice about it because I know I will discuss %HESITATION angle if something was wrong those guys are gonna figure it out right yeah I would have to worry like like if I was a high you're an event and I say all right here all the things that you know how it is when with the van planning yeah things go wrong and sometimes people don't don't know how to like they freak out they freak out Friday night I don't think it comes with experience you notice we had situations where we're going we have no idea what it what we're doing and we just kind of like %HESITATION the owner which is John does it you know I just jump in order to see I hope this works the you know and and sometimes you know it works well do you live %HESITATION shoot you know then you get confidence in your real life all right the next you know that if it didn't work you're like fuck cuddly fix this stuff yeah yeah and I got two problems but I had a great attitude is and I got a couple friends and and you know as well that when they're like should I do this should I go into that and I'm like look I'm not worry about you not being able to do the job because I know you can figure it out yeah you know would work starting with that kind of personal yeah and and that's what I'm trying to get at it it's not so much %HESITATION like that that what I'm gonna get is not is that it's uncommon it's uncommon because I've I've worked with enough people were like oh now something went wrong they're in trouble yeah they're not gonna be able to figure it out right so they think there's like a common %HESITATION them a thread amongst all of us that you know it's like it's not just about working hard because I've seen you know I've seen twenty people that they work hard but they just did not get they don't think through things right yeah true some that's why I think that we all get along so well and this is going to be a project because we'll just you know find a way to do great work I agree and the fact that Wes is in here also I mean it's I think it's going to be for our audience I think that's how it may be you know sometimes maybe was will be missing maybe I'll be missing receipt though it just depends the R. weeks or roots are daily life today were recording on a Tuesday yeah I'm really glad that we got to get even though it's very late so so the audience doesn't know because we haven't told him but we met at eight o'clock it's nine thirty right now falling out and and I need to go home even though so in terms %HESITATION even though we got even though I was tired you know before this thank I feel good now good I guess the the changing like I feel like this is an energy kind of %HESITATION you said you said it before I think you said it I know I thought it this is a little bit like therapy right like there's another route there's like a stress release in doing this process so anyways %HESITATION so let's talk about this week when you said you had some ideas yes our good days are a is a man you're both a composite okay sorry about that guys %HESITATION Suria %HESITATION we're talking about %HESITATION Wes being fat yes yes now we all these factors affect so I think he's out trying to get a federal tonight that's why you %HESITATION trying to get a position to win I think it's trying to break into the well the whole situation %HESITATION you know series about not eating you know what he's nothing close to yeah I think that's what we think is out there having a real favorite yeah we had plans in touch is going to look into it but yeah this situation so we might you know want one of us might be missing one of these days and just as always yeah our daily life may get in the way you mean maybe two of us will get together you know maybe one day it'll be just draw dies so %HESITATION by the way the show continues it we're gonna try to stick to once a week even if it is a Monday but if it is Tuesday and %HESITATION that way you don't bring bring it and keep continue to show of the Kansas and we can't use you guys like it I told drew in the west before you guys had a good thing going last year in this funny I didn't listen to it last year you told me about it last year but one by a I started listen to and to it this year and I've been just listen so I started work because I have my own %HESITATION tires arms and and so I have a dumb got music all day and instead of the music I start having to show up and that's how we start intention and listen to it over and over again in a in a meeting listening to the show's repeatedly doesn't yeah what it was entertaining so that's why I like is it on the teaser I'm happy to be here this is I'm actually I was fans of you guys before before I was even here my my personal experience was %HESITATION I was I was trucking at the moment but I would listen to the podcast and %HESITATION the worst thing is for me is that I wanted to give an opinion or be part of it and I couldn't you know I just had to listen to you guys and I'm like Bob and I will just be there so you can make a joke of this of making a comment about and %HESITATION I know I got again it is because I feel comfortable with Andres would last now we obviously you to hear the %HESITATION at the we really close as our friends and what a friend like brothers yeah you know %HESITATION in the sense of you know we trust each other I guess a lot in in our personal lives and our surroundings %HESITATION so it was for me which is kinda like man I wish I could be there and the when you it sounded for right yeah so you want to be the yeah yeah I'd like to have some beers and in a what what don't know yeah yeah it's like you know but but that's why but as much as that you know I I felt that we have so much stuff in common you know yeah they sometimes we don't talk about you know when we're going through as in like I'm losing weight in the business card and I'm you know what asked is on my doll this weekend and I just I don't care you know or sometimes I'm like doing really well and I I just wanted to check share that with somebody and I don't have it I don't have that person you know and then just wear whatever it's there yeah and at the open up this space in order for us to speak and share with each other and you know sometimes you know give you eight that them up you know and say you did a good job or when you gonna let loose track and be like Hey you know get back on track you know like a what is it what are you said we're kind of all of your of your stuff so we went we went to back in line yeah so it's interesting right because if you look at any like %HESITATION self help program or like even like the Alcoholics Anonymous stuff like that where the E. X. support groups one of the very first steps at all and it's just a meeting you the meeting you have a problem right if you can out loud say Hey I have a problem with my weight I have a problem maybe eat eating too much %HESITATION maybe I have a problem with sugar yep but you know there's all these objections is fitted actions and yet that are out there you may not know you may not and maybe you know but you're in denial about it right and so just being able to open up about it like today it's funny because when we were sitting at %HESITATION we're in a we're in a conference room today and we're walking I've known and the the daughter of the the gentleman that they own this place having to be here and with his %HESITATION with her %HESITATION husband and we say what are you recording as a social equipment on the go or doing a podcast and and nervous I really do what I don't know I was like never served in what we're doing yeah what year is it kind of was she pretty though you got my so but you should get nervous is something that people what does want to see the one way I mean I guess one night when I used to somebody coming Hey what what what is it about you know yeah it was I think that's that's wanting to be like okay we've we've admitted were fat in front of each other yeah but now there's like this third party that this police this is a quality just call may get symbol in weight loss but because I mean look at this it's a you're talking about its weight loss you're talking about something that relates to yeah a lot of a lot of people whether they admit it or not what is it that first or second the season in the US I mean you know whether they admit it or not yeah they they they can relate to it yeah it is not only fat people there's people that are not over weight but they feel like they want to lose some weight and the cat they don't they are they're not able to so the this the fact that I'm intermittent fasting was doing the carnivore you're doing the keto you're doing the choosing yeah those are four options that they can probably pick they can pick from and damn it may work for them just as of may work for us it could work for them too and they're not overweight well I got I put as example my girlfriend she what she's not overweight but lately she's lost a few pounds and she saw me lose the weight and she started because you got into it %HESITATION she looks even all of them for it I would I never saw it I never thought she was over it at all so there's people in she deals with that she loses she gained a pound she loses a pounds you gain a pound it's the same journey that you would %HESITATION are having maybe it's five pounds in ten pounds yeah but it's a pound for her is just as difficult as to ten twenty pounds for us yeah you know him so it's the same it's the same situation for us as for any a lot of people can relate to it yeah and so one of the things I want to bring up a really just touch on is what kind of a commitment we are going to have not not to the show so much but just like I feel like when I was thinking about was just listening to you guys talk about how you guys look forward to it and even though you're listening to it later in New yeah we have somewhere in the in the neighborhood between fifty to two hundred listens depending on the episode last year looking at the numbers last week and I wonder if you know I know some of those people that were listening were were were %HESITATION %HESITATION people that I knew but they could not be people I know and I wonder if there's people out there that we're just like depending on not depending on the show but looking forward to the show and then when we in west kind of trailed off to I feel like we we let them down I think this is right you let me down sorry I was listening to that and so I cry with a box of donuts I'm sure we use it all those guns either of them you know I just eight one well I could because really the whole white one box thanks again there was only one box and got three of almost and gather that was what eight SO you do not yeah so I think what what I'm trying to say is that I really want to make sure whether it's with their it's all four of us or it's two of us or just even one of us that we have some consistency and really some commitment to deliver the content right because %HESITATION salute even if it's even if it's us like coming in and being like you know what we had it we took an al this week all of us yeah right yeah it'll happen %HESITATION we did terribly but we're here talking and we almost have to pretend like there's if there's a fifth person in the chair that we're we we have to support that makes sense yeah %HESITATION does the listener listener %HESITATION so anyways %HESITATION let me let me touch a little bit on this week we were supposed to win no we didn't really and what we are I needed when I went in myself okay but I I wish we can do it all here so we can keep track because every skills different everything on my team to pound into but at least we we get one scale which is going to be like %HESITATION industry scale number one is that in those rules those well we have one here in the office %HESITATION the one for the truck drivers now it has to be I'm serious at regular skilled close up to like probably three hundred pounds no no no four hundred they're all right yeah so yeah so you have room to grow taking at you can test the limits on it I want to see because over four hundred announced worldwide in the breaks the funny thing is they're made of glass I want to make it a error the one of my house it's me that this could be a and he goes above three hundred okay so above three hundred the way that I that I got this %HESITATION this week it was three east I was set at I thought it was two sixty three seventy okay %HESITATION seriously I'm really like I was three seventy three years ago okay and that's when I tested using it because I got diagnosed with diabetes okay right and but I was like and it really helped shaped like a really bad like really bad hell shape I had problems with asthma then %HESITATION obviously the overweight and the deputies %HESITATION they want to give me medicine and all the stuff that comes with it I mean you know like an order also I don't know I refuse everything I walk out of the office %HESITATION and I started to them is it enhanced to cry about it no I went home and nice them like it was kind of like a click on my on my brain said that that you know I'm done how much is this and I did I did I did for %HESITATION you flip the switch on yeah it was it but it was but are you able to back off yeah but it was weird because it was just something that nobody can get me out of it I was so stubborn about it like nothing is gonna stop me it doesn't matter who comes you got scared into it pretty much I got a scare into the my health and yes sometimes that's what it takes in this time back then which is I have only my daughter and I'm like no I'm not going to do this I want to be able to play with her and run into these things you know I did it and two months I drop like a bottle of like two months and a half seventy pounds which is a lot in a maintain and maintain myself well like I came pro like I can probably end up with the three hundred pounds and I probably picked up after going back to eating everything in and not just %HESITATION the the choosing %HESITATION pride like twenty pounds SO three twenty I meant to myself I that like for almost a year which I was very happy and then I become a trucker and do that with the way that like you know three twenty three twenty five three thirty five you know it I start jumping numbers and I'm like shit I need to go to Walmart and buy juices and things you know like I'm not gonna you know make any but I was doing all over the %HESITATION all over the road on the on the US so my choices of food was very limited everything was called junior I swear there's the there's nothing but colleges and using some weights can help the bull shit nothing tastes everything to the sent the letters the tomatoes and cucumbers pickles they all taste the same the bread tasted slowly all come to a plastic bag I don't know do but it's his right I got so tired of it since I stopped I stopped doing %HESITATION long haul for it's going to be two years and I haven't stepped my foot in a kart Yunior or the subway I gained the weight music I don't do anything with it without collision with the subway you know but the first two years like I like I really I really got a head on on the food and it's just there was no other options because I all but you can take a salary what is just you don't understand salads out in like but even by Sullivan call yourself the same way about his C. C. S. it is as a brick in out on the dressing I personally don't like dressing you gonna be like yeah right you know that resting is and %HESITATION I don't like rattling Dennis that if I do it's like all of oil would %HESITATION vinaigrette you know it or lemon juice lemon by itself would be a little salt pepper and that's why I throw myself out but I just it was just crazy how the food was just feeling like my I was to getting waiting and waiting and I got a point when I'm like fuck this you know I fail I feel big time I did this big effort for two months and you know I just I just I just lost it in a can I hit me to certain point on on my personal level like you know like broke me a little bit as in like shit you can keep it up you could keep you did you did all this you were folk is you were going for a you were getting at and they you just what happened you know and right now it that's what I'm I'm having a hard time right now is just really does is switch the switch from like focus in and wanted to do I think that's what this part because we'll do that switch for you I think because you're gonna come in here we're gonna talk shit to you because you have it yeah sort of make you and that's the idea that's all therapy like two was saying it was that's what this podcast can be comes in for our listeners that's gonna same idea whether you're not there listening to it I think part of it too is it's very hard to maintain that the Spartan style diet like running running that light on union couldn't weren't know what what I say smart and I mean like yeah maybe maybe that's what you meant %HESITATION like you're gonna be perfect can you do this thing that's really hard to do but the second you you let it go then it's like I go the other way still swing the other way I I know this because I've done it like I've been we all have I've done some crazy like like feats to get to get like a down you know ten pounds right like I think early on in the episode and the episodes I was down eight pounds yeah the first week yeah yeah yeah I mean I was not allowed to give one week it looks like twelve pounds yeah yeah something stupid like that right %HESITATION in the car got me right back here with the fat asses are you know are you back to the way you said you were when I and ordered back them exactly where I started okay yeah so you raise all of last year people I'm just gonna start over I'm gonna delete those episodes and like this isn't over yet the only thing the only thing I I notice on myself as I'm back to two seventy but I'm not as sick that's the only thing I I notice this this time from the first time that I was there so maybe that's why you're not scared yet that's why you have a flip the switch yeah that's probably %HESITATION I mean I don't know if that's what it is like I don't I don't have any like I'm on my last night you know I don't have I'm still not taking any medicine for diabetes %HESITATION I mean I do get check every year to the doctor like it's mandatory for me and I bouncing Eichel can hi imminent and drop in or whatever but yeah but it's just it's just out of control you know this this month what I do really good in this month's where I'm like completely out of control and I mean I'm I'm sure our daily life comes to play as well you know there's a little so it took choices already like it starts from the very beginning right like I know that when I if I wake up and I make the first a bad choice the first meal down like I forget the stays over mmhm but if I make a good choice then I have you know for that first you know breakfast or whatever you feel good know what I what I'm just trying to say I do feel better about myself because I made a choice in it it does that really make me feel better but then if I'm not really paying you know like being mindful of what I'm doing then there's a fifty fifty chance that the next meal will be a good choice or a bad choice but if I make that for but what I'm trying to say is if I make that that very first decision in the morning to make a bad choice then it's about almost a hundred percent guarantee that I will make a bad choice for the next room that makes sense just like that first meal they say it's the first the first meal of the day is the most important right I think we should do is get up into your bed I should be here first thing to do you know what I mean I bet every day but I don't do it right away I do it after I get a better what that's what that does not see it so so speaking of which I case how does the bed come here have you ever thought of not because I heard somebody whose is like the first thing you need to do in order to feel kind of like sorry %HESITATION that positive energy like all I'm doing things right the first thing you do this to you but like I did it because I don't like I reach the goal right away I think I don't book I don't do the you don't do your butt the you don't do so to make when you do it does it make you feel better now what is what does it mean that he might work for him you know I wake up and I do my bit for the most part I do my bit yeah my wife deals in the every single day but I have a bunch of little yeah if you don't have the only really awesome if she does a better what I don't do that badly get up before her that way we're gonna just recording and when we go back to sleep when my brother and I were thinking having like an hours yeah and he has a rebate of up this week can you read that the idea that when you're going to bed your your %HESITATION negotiating with the person that with the person that's waking up in the morning like like that this happens to me even if I'm tired rated tonight I bet you I get that then I'm gonna set my alarm for four in the morning for yes for informers on it I I it's just one of the things that I I what I've been trying to do for you here this week for some it like five times in the past you get the point is not working it is I think the person I am in the morning is like %HESITATION no that's a terrible way do we think in the yeah it's like you're negotiating like insulate the negotiation is like %HESITATION how bout four AM and then my you know for him drew is like %HESITATION now and then and now that I can't I can't you at six AM morning ruins the negotiations a lot I put my number six thirty and then another one at six fifty and then another one at seven ten and I don't get up to seven thirty he's a small right now my life is I don't have a I wake up you know twice a night because I have a one one half their injured one is a pain that I mentor and and I can I can I completely straight out but I have a one one and a half and attitudes diapers so I have to wake up at least twice a night change a diaper and go back to sleep but then usually throughout the day no don this is what you're actually I read your ad hoc actually to Cassie you caught the call me somebody call me one of you guys call you called and I I was completely up you know yeah yeah I call you know the you're always yeah I work a great guy what is I'm not used to people take naps because I've never taken it up and if I take a nap during the day I wake up in the bitch as mood I'm pissed the %HESITATION is that that doesn't make me feel that's weird I love naps the high heat of I guess take them now you know I'm working full time the only yeah the only thing is if I take a nap I can I can go to sleep early I studied it in its own right okay pushes my clock the person not me a little in this several hours fresh okay so %HESITATION so listen I think to to the listening audience we middle we made a commitment to that I think we couldn't really keep this week but %HESITATION for for a couple of different circumstances one is that we recorded the %HESITATION but %HESITATION I say which we try again next week %HESITATION wait what could we keep we said we're gonna wear away but in problem in a way that we don't have with your so yeah %HESITATION this move again or something and then have you guys chose and what you can and what plan you're gonna give up I know well I'm I'm injured you to go back to the Jews Jews okay and and a good thing what I liked about it is that we're gonna be able to show it on the on the Instagram that's what a lot of people just like the thing when when I say Jews it's a liquid and it's not so at

were sit at a table were all discussing because my cousin is also I never thought about the bug is my cousin was also is also doing I forgot we met the cheese use I think it's got to cut also but we were discussing it in I I started doing the math of what I used to eat right before the fasting when I was maybe at three twenty six sure I was I was pretty concerned about six thousand calories a day holy crap about six thousand gallons a minute that's about and I do the math that's about what it is yeah do the math some do it at least and he's a thousand five hundred per meal yeah and I do like for meals is %HESITATION do math love your today I started well I did my choose you know how many calories in the juice what is was it a very smart this is like probably not not not even a hundred thousand hello which is something is %HESITATION so you drink the juice in ten minutes you're hungry again so they would not honor it actually because my that's my appetite but what what what I was going to say it is I did that and then a the %HESITATION another kind of like a one of those origin %HESITATION drinks that are I can remember that is I've been a %HESITATION %HESITATION so nasty I like them a lot of people just hate them the vinegar the cabin anger out assigning %HESITATION double check drinks so have you heard of them I've heard of them never tasted it okay so early you your problem like it I like them the anyways so I did data dilute Jews %HESITATION and then this afternoon you know my wife make lunch which is very like chicken brass and bury lean and you know some rights for the kids a survey number I'm not gonna get the rice meat chicken and can a plane it and she's like you know what she's pregnant she's almost all at the end of the rope right now you have a bigger believed her you have a bigger but I think we're like about this my my voice lately because because because of the big big no no no that is a must in every room of my in the end he let you know that I just when he knows the joke about %HESITATION I don't know what he can to give because the billing they've been there what is wrong and but anyway so she's like you know what I cook and everything but I don't I don't feel like you need this food is a can you go to foster freezing give me like a burger with fries and I'm like shit and we're going one there and I went to get %HESITATION the you brought one back in of course I mean you had with in a way it was just like %HESITATION you know because I'm like I know I'm in it Louise if I'm going to my buying her something I'm by myself something sherry subjects of the system is not because and I already dinner and I'm like right when you heard the news waiting for her ordered I'd like to it on the spot you don't have it under this is like a teacher's aide up like I know but I just want to tackle stand alone can stop myself and only that I've been working for myself and I speak of listening to a common thing there's no depth control yeah it's got a very it's like but also if you live like within like a a football fields distance of a foster's freeze it has a light you're gonna eat some Fosse's trees because I used to live in front of one in front of Berkeley when I walked in front of it I used to live in when when I lived in Berkeley an apartment it was literally across the street well that's exactly you see nowhere and the smell of them like I could see the the smoke coming towards us and I'm like we are it doesn't matter how does that our dogs yeah and the corn dogs anyway looks you live we all live in the pretty densely populated area yeah there is this going to be for the quarter mile not even have about a quarter mile kind of ten and rest and you've got restaurants all the time please bottom up one five star restaurant that was it yeah right yeah we have like it that's like less than five minutes where I parked here walking distance is a toggle truck out there and then cross the street does not listed as an owner so don't tell me you know this because there's there's axis there's always acts yeah it's %HESITATION it's difficult to control symptoms of ma'am not something that I that I I was the other day that's my sister she's %HESITATION she's like all faded into like sports in the heat well another stinks and she sent me a %HESITATION due to %HESITATION link in the talks about how we know for certain people like certain drugs are addictive and how food is addicted to yes Sir certain people as well it's kind of the same thing like sugar stylings of silver and in nineteen listening to it in and I'm like you know is it because a lot of people just like fine sometimes a trauma into their food my goal I've I I live through this and I feed refugee into the food and I just you know because this happened in my life and she explained to you when that happens and when it's an addiction and I'm just listening to her all of the points and I'm like yep I'm addicted dammit I'm addicted to food I'm addicted to food and it's just not alert was also sugar did I eat anything the I. wheat bread need vegetables is this for my problem I think this is just more value I'll eat much of out of anything if it's healthy food I still had to control myself because even if it's even if his the Jews or what I can you know Pat of you know a stew of babies no it's just more about controlling the amount I I take it into a disease using could help you control it yeah yep this is this is this is just a certain amount of you know the liquid or when I'm gonna do a soup a certain amount of vegetables that I need to do or if I may do a salad this in a modest salad that I meant to do and that's how many at all and that's it what we get good well I was gonna say %HESITATION part of it is Tuesday if you're eating stuff like like sugar there's jurisdictions a real thing because not only are things that are sugary bad for you but your body starts just to say %HESITATION %HESITATION I like I the the the very things you're eating make you want to eat more of it yeah well yeah say %HESITATION as that's where the the fun is that they see Kenny one chips mmhm it's because there's literally stuff in it that makes you want to eat more of it right some anyhow that's one thing I think we got a task each of the with any if he's doing the choosing please the news got a he's got educate us and the audience on using on on before doing ki K. kilo then you got to educate us and because there's a lot of stuff I don't know about you lots of I don't know about you see yeah I've never tried any of you so yeah you know I'm I've been learning a lot about in the mean testing because I've been doing it so I can I can talk to you know I can never know because I'm an asset is within our fasting have you feel did you you said like about two months right yeah have the fear how do you feel your stomach shrinking yet your intake even if you want more like you in techselect dammit I'm already full blade tech is different and I've I've done the research on this and in fact hi on one of my you to allow you to channel one of the episodes is about this your stomach doesn't actually shrink so your stomach physically does not shrink it's an organ so what happens is just the communication between your brain in your stomach resets when you first it resets so then you're not able to intake is much your you communicate to your stomach communicates easier with the rain and says April stop eating because when I got in my personal experience when I finished using the first time what it does to month and a half I Sears they can eat only two tackles and that's what that's that's your site my my stomach feel like bad it reset and then just exactly what the hell I was the I lost a lot of fat on the belly but you know I was shocked when I try to go back in to the stack of sand and be like you know let's let's see how much I can hit I had two tackles and I was satisfied I was just like not hungry yeah that's the thing use you look at what you eat because that's what you used to eat right so your order for you order six whatever you eat because as we usually yeah thank you you too and then you're satisfied and then you look at the other four or five or six whatever the left or the playing and I don't want to wait I gotta eat those yeah I used to eat those I cannot but near stuffing faced with food that you don't need you don't even know what you just you're used to eating so again to %HESITATION area so %HESITATION before we wrap this up above the least talk during the week and you mentioned you had some ideas that you want to share yes a few segments and stuff like that but %HESITATION I'm gonna bring something for you guys next week so %HESITATION we'll talk about it next week that we we can expand little by little okay %HESITATION there's a few things that I wanted a just adding to the reservation or when you know how far we along right now we're at forty or fifty minutes fifty rooms yeah yeah it'll will look good I want it I want to share look tired around this or this idea where we're at when we weigh in right away and next week then we'll have the next week will be are like how we do right yeah yeah and whoever this is the least amount away by percentage maybe is the flag of the week and we get the call they ordered you know what I have never seen yeah in my family when I left the seventy pounds my brother Tommy it's like a little so he would have to look for the for the better but I don't know but you

Who will win in the battle of pooping on ghosts VS sharting to death? Listen and find out!

Holly McKee-Clark explains the mystery behind the Ghost Writer of Glassell Park. There is a house in Glassell Park California that has been haunted by a ghost since the early 90s. Strange occurrences had been happening without any explanation, that is until the residents picked up a polaroid camera and began snapping pictures. When the pictures developed, strange writing could be found in the photos. No one knows how the photos have been able to develop with the writing in them and how they manage to answer the photographers' questions in real time.

Dennis visits the Glassell Park neighborhood of Los Angeles to talk with writer-director Stewart Wade about his new film Say Yes, about a very unconventional love triangle. He talks about where he got the idea of the script, finding the right actors to bring it to life, shooting much of it in his own home, making a lead character an atheist, finding a cute waterfall in L.A. and getting the film on Amazon. He also shares stories from his years in the trenches of gay-indie filmmaking and shares observations about how actors are less uptight than they used to when it comes to playing gay, the challenges of finding distribution, crowding funding shenanigans, and how the gay indie world intersects with Hollywood...or not. He also talks about his ongoing web-series on YouTube called Coffeehouse Chronicles and his own passion for coffee. Other topics include: the Barbra Streisand movie he's seen more than any other movie, seeing the Exorcist at 10 and freaking the f out and that time a troop of cub scouts unwittingly wandered into the gay kissing scene.  https://www.facebook.com/sayyesthemovie/

Gentrification isn’t just about who’s moving into the neighborhood. It’s about juice bars, yoga studios, fancy pizza and of course coffee shops. What’s it like to open a business that neighbors will clearly recognize as a symbol of change? Entrepreneurs Lisa Jurado and Rex Roberts just opened a coffee spot in Glassell Park, a neighborhood in Northeast Los Angeles, and they know when some people see their shop they’ll mutter about gentrification. But Jurado and Roberts worry more about the possibility of a Starbucks taking their business than neighborhood backlash. In Echo Park, Israel Palacios had to move his pizza restaurant after his rent got too high. His family had run the restaurant for more than 20 years. He reopened his business at a cheaper site across the street, only to see a high-end, more expensive pizza place open in his old location. What really gets him angry? The new owner kept Palacios’ old sign. “I like the signs,” says Zach Pollack, the chef at the new restaurant. They’re “kind of like a symbol of the neighborhood.”

My guest today is Mr. Adam Levy. Finesse, feel, restraint and taste. That's what I think of when I hear Adam play. Perhaps best known for being a member of Norah Jones band in the late 90's/early 2000's, Adam has also done other high profile gigs, among them playing with Tracy Chapman (remember “Gimme one reason to leave here?”- then you've heard Adam cause that's him playing the guitar solo on that tune), he's also worked with Dan Hicks, Amos Lee and others.  But it's his own solo material that is the most inspiring to me. Not content with putting all his eggs into the often tempting and lucrative sideman basket, Adam has consistently put out many of his own solo records over the years. Starting with Buttermilk Channel  (what a great title) he kept on going- including "Get Your Glow On", "Washing Day", "Town and Country" and many others-  up to his latest release “Blueberry Blonde” (featuring drummer Jay Bellarose.) At present he has a stunning 16 solo records to his name. He was also the former Chair of Guitar Performance at Los Angeles College of Music. (CORRECTION- I said in the intro that he was currently at LACM but Adam stepped down not too long ago to focus on other projects.)  And if that isn't enough, Adam also posts the popular “Guitar Tips” mini lessons every week where he shares his knowledge in an informal but powerful youtube clip.  In this interview Adam and play a few tunes and share a few stories including how he first started working with Norah Jones . He also talks about playing melodically, things he learned from listening to Jim Hall, his Gibson 335 that he's had since he was a kid, studying with the legendary Jimmy Wyble, (Adam also studied with Ted Greene but we didn't get to discuss that) and much more!  I got up early the night after my crazy gig at the Staples center with Hall and Oates and took an Uber over to Adam's friend Tyler's studio in a section of Los Angeles known as Glassell Park. Formerly a converted garage, funky is the right word to describe it now, but a good, cool, hip funky. I liked the vibe- packed with cool gear. I plugged my old 330 into a vintage Fender Champ and Adam plugged his 335 into a converted Bell and Howell film projector/turned guitar amp. For you audiophiles out there- throughout the show Adam's guitar is on the left side and I'm on the right side- You'll hear a tiny drop-out after Adam's solo but it goes away quick and I faded into my solo. Not bad for an early morning folks as this is done live. After one sip of Starbucks to get the energy flowing we turned the tape on…enjoy! (Correction- I mistakenly called the John McLaughlin record with the 3D cover- "Now you see it", it's not!!...it's "The Promise". I think on the inside cover of that CD is says "now you see it" and that's the confusion. Anywhooo....

They discuss how he takes his work seriously, but not himself; his "war" on the top five podcasts; his contretemps with Representative Dan Lungren while editing Videogames magazine; Colin's Podthought on PodCRASH, and the superiority of essays and films that don't tell you how to feel; his first television appearances on FX, and how he there learned to read a teleprompter by pretending not to read it; growing up a Michigander and a nerd, discovering alternative culture through film (and building his own eight-millimeter home theater at age seven) while actively not giving a shit what anyone thought of him; his choice to come to Los Angeles because it smelled less like pee than New York; his place in film culture versus nerd culture, and the word "nerd" versus the word "geek"; how he makes a podcast out of his appearances on other podcasts in the podcast Mecca that is Los Angeles; meeting and talking to cool people as a byproduct of a career, or as the raison d'être of one; which of them buys cars and which of them buys bespoke suits; what it felt like being around for the nineties' American indie film boom, and why only Quentin Tarantino has kept up his auteur's head of steam from those days; and why he made My Big Fat Independent Movie when that boom got to be too much.
