See you tonight!
Why should you skip out on all your other social interactions to play poker? Because playing poker together leads to great things! And I’ll even give you a real world example:
Many years ago there was a Tuesday night poker game in Los Angeles (wow, that sounds familiar!) where a rotating crew of regulars showed up:
… a Tuesday poker game hosted in Venice by Kyle Gass (one half of the rock duo Tenacious D). Any given week, they might look up from their cards and see Jack Black — the band’s other half — or the actors Andy Richter and Tim Robbins, or the actor and director Jon Favreau.
In truth, it didn’t matter who showed up. They were there to banter and bond.
Three of the players became friends and started talking about doing a podcast project together. They got excited about it. But…
Then came the Covid shutdown. Mr. Terry, along with two other producers, went about making sure things could work remotely. Certain decisions had already been made — including not having a video component so that the famous guests could be at ease.
And so… SmartLess was born! They later got advertisers like AutoZone and Zip Recruiter and were profitable within a year. They worked with CAA and struck a deal with Wondery for more than $60 million, built out a slate of new shows, and then later signed a deal with SiriusXM for $100 million.
This is why you have to come play poker. As Jason Bateman said in the article,
“It’s not lost on me, personally, that the single most successful thing in my career is something that we never even thought was going to be a job.”
So which of these are you and which are the other players in tonight’s poker game? Only way to find out is to join us…
