1. “A great question. There isn't that, and it may not seem natural, but what I had been doing back in late 80s, early 90s, I really focused on international M&A and corporate. So I spent a couple of years of my time in Scadden's London office. So I was learning a lot about cross-border transactions. And it just so happened at that time pretty much in the cable and satellite business, these big brands from the US were beginning their international expansion. And they had a lot of great ideas, a lot of creative passion, but they didn't really have a lot of people who knew how to structure one's presence in an international market. How would the media laws and regulations affect a business? How do you structure a joint venture with a foreign partner? So I had those skills. So I came on board originally to spearhead the legal and business affairs aspects of MTV and Nickelodeon's launch into the international markets.”

2. “And I work for SCAD and I had a phenomenal, phenomenal training ground and learned a lot. But my passion had always been the entertainment business. And I reached a point in my career there after about five years or so that I thought I don't have kids yet, not married. I could make the shift with less risk. And I really started developing this passion, this idea that if you don't follow through with your passion in life, you're not going to be happy later in life. So I did that and no regrets for that.”

3. “It seemed less circuitous, I suppose, to me. I always had a passion for the entertainment business. I also had really wanted to, I'd taken time after college. I moved abroad to Spain to develop some of my international business skills, my Spanish language skills. At that point, as a young man living in Spain, I decided grad school may make sense. I was thinking of taking the GMAT or the LSAT. It had been a while since I was doing the cutting-edge math that you need for the GMAT. So I took the LSAT and I went to law school.”
