Ricky Lee Travolta - Marketing Genius & America's Friend


How does someone overcome a deeply traumatic childhood to become what Steve Jobs called "a marketing genius" and transform multiple brands into multi-million dollar successes?
In this powerful and revealing episode, Ricky Lee Travolta opens up about his journey from surviving childhood abuse to becoming a renowned marketing strategist known as "America's Friend." Despite being diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder) and autism, Ricky harnessed what he calls the "superpower of autism" to revolutionize companies like Otherworld Computing and Empire Today. He shares how he introduced the Axiatron Modbook (which won Best of Show at Macworld, beating Apple's iPhone announcement that year), explains his innovative approach to corporate branding, and discusses how he's turned personal tragedy into professional triumph. Throughout the conversation, Ricky emphasizes the importance of truth, authenticity, and creating systems that accommodate neurodiversity in the workplace.

→ Despite significant personal and professional challenges, including family estrangement and corporate conflicts, Ricky maintains his commitment to helping others succeed

Quotes from Ricky
"I've lived with a diagnosis called Dissociative Identity Disorder... It doesn't mean I'm crazy. It just means daddy did bad things."
"I am considered a historic autistic success story because I'm only able to do those high-level marketing things because of the superpower of autism as opposed to the disability aspect, which is real."

00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.559
Okay, let's see here. We're live. Okay. This
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:09.300
is cool because I had no idea if Ricky was like
00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:12.880
Ricky Lake for a female or Ricky. Lee Travolta
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:14.939
is a male. So I just found that out. And then
00:00:14.939 --> 00:00:19.940
I'm like, Oh, could he be, is he, is there a
00:00:19.940 --> 00:00:23.920
relationship with the John Travolta? So of course
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.359
that's the first question I asked. Hi, are you
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.500
related to John Travolta is like how I said it.
00:00:29.169 --> 00:00:32.149
And so everyone, let me just say brave, bold,
00:00:32.909 --> 00:00:36.590
handsome, kind of bold, I can't really see. So
00:00:36.590 --> 00:00:39.210
you've got all the criteria. Ah, very handsome
00:00:39.210 --> 00:00:41.789
though. So let me introduce you guys to Ricky
00:00:41.789 --> 00:00:44.549
Lee Travolta. That's all I know about him. So
00:00:44.549 --> 00:00:50.490
Ricky, take it away. Well, Adrian, it's so...
00:00:50.829 --> 00:00:54.810
fun and exciting to be talking to you and And
00:00:54.810 --> 00:00:57.049
to be sharing time with the live audience and
00:00:57.049 --> 00:00:59.710
then you know, this will get reposted No prep
00:00:59.710 --> 00:01:04.069
needed to last in posterity and it's just They
00:01:04.069 --> 00:01:08.310
call me America's friend or a reporter once followed
00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:12.349
me around and I represent big companies big rock
00:01:12.349 --> 00:01:14.890
stars big Hollywood stars people who can afford
00:01:14.890 --> 00:01:19.629
a big price tag for advice that Steve Jobs of
00:01:19.629 --> 00:01:23.010
Apple called me and told me I'm a marketing genius.
00:01:23.370 --> 00:01:27.349
So that kind of commands a large price tag. Yet,
00:01:27.890 --> 00:01:31.250
I will stop on the street and give free advice
00:01:31.250 --> 00:01:35.469
to small business owners because I'm a nice guy
00:01:35.469 --> 00:01:39.450
and they can't afford my price tag, but I'm all
00:01:39.450 --> 00:01:43.390
about people, communities. I want everybody to
00:01:43.390 --> 00:01:47.450
succeed. I don't assist a business to put other
00:01:47.450 --> 00:01:51.019
businesses out of business. I want everybody
00:01:51.019 --> 00:01:54.060
to succeed." And so this reporter saw me doing
00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:56.480
that. He said, man, you're America's friend.
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.200
And he put it in his article, and it just kind
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.180
of stuck. So I'm a friendly guy. And you started
00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:06.200
off the conversation. He said, OK, are you a
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.439
male or female? I didn't Google you. Well, obviously
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:12.620
a male. But Ricky, very unique spelling of the
00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:16.219
name. Could be female, could be male. Ricky Lake,
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.930
Ricky Rocket. But the other thing you asked,
00:02:22.669 --> 00:02:26.729
my relationship to John Travolta. So for most
00:02:26.729 --> 00:02:31.189
of my life, everybody, including myself, John,
00:02:31.469 --> 00:02:36.909
Joey, Ellen, Margaret, and Sam, everybody thought
00:02:36.909 --> 00:02:41.229
I was the nephew. I was offered to play Danny
00:02:41.229 --> 00:02:44.610
Zuko in the Broadway revival of Grease in 1994,
00:02:45.370 --> 00:02:48.340
replacing Ricky Paul Golden from the soap opera
00:02:48.340 --> 00:02:52.439
who was originated from. Instead, I decided to
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.840
do Tony and Tina's wedding because I didn't even
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.759
thinking I was John Travolta's nephew, I didn't
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:02.280
want to be the coattails guy. But here is the
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:13.479
wow. 2023, we find out official records. My father,
00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:18.849
he's currently living as Dr. Gerald Michael Beze,
00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:26.669
B -I -E -Z -E, one of many names. My father that
00:03:26.669 --> 00:03:30.250
created the Rikuli Travolta, Michael Salvatore
00:03:30.250 --> 00:03:35.169
Travolta, doesn't exist, nor does Dr. Gerald
00:03:35.169 --> 00:03:40.650
Michael Beze. He was born Roland Warren Beze
00:03:40.650 --> 00:03:46.819
Jr. My grandfather, Roland Beze Sr., faked his
00:03:46.819 --> 00:03:51.439
own death in 1958, married his own widow under
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.780
a made -up name Lawrence Ernesty. My father then
00:03:54.780 --> 00:03:58.400
becomes Lawrence Ernesty Jr., had many, many
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.340
names. Lawrence Ernesty Jr. being one of them,
00:04:03.099 --> 00:04:06.879
one of the many names he's a convicted sex offender
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.900
under. Right now, he's convicted under that name
00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:14.699
in Lincoln, Nebraska, but pays his brother who
00:04:14.699 --> 00:04:18.019
was born Warren Beasley and then Kevin Ernesty
00:04:18.019 --> 00:04:22.000
and now Dennis Beasley. His brother stays in
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.439
the house because he can't, Lawrence or Gerald,
00:04:25.899 --> 00:04:29.000
can't leave the state. But he's the successful
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.000
businessman in Lake Oswego, Oregon under the
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.100
name Dr. Gerald Beasley or Jerry, who doesn't
00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:37.439
have a social security number. It's all under
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:41.399
Roland. his medical license and everything. He
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.879
graduated from Urbana in Illinois. And if you
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:50.060
look at the school records, it's Roland Beasley,
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.379
but he was telling everybody Gerald Beasley because
00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:56.720
they didn't check records back then. My mother,
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:01.720
my mother didn't know. So he created Brickily
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.220
Travolta, telling me his name was Michael Salvatore
00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:09.959
Travolta. He's a doctor. has access to medications,
00:05:10.459 --> 00:05:12.860
has access to prescribed things. He was sexually
00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:17.079
molesting me since the age of four and drugging
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:23.639
me. So sad story there, right? But 2023, we discovered,
00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:28.240
worked with a great team of doctors. And here
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:32.379
I am, I have this great brand, Ricky Lee Travolta.
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.660
I created the fame of Otherworld Computing, a
00:05:35.660 --> 00:05:40.720
$583 million tech company. I introduced the Axiatron
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.060
Modbook, the iPad before the iPad, which is why
00:05:44.060 --> 00:05:47.120
Steve Jobs called me and told me I was a marketing
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.319
genius. I was the new empire man. For empire
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.560
today, I made them the number one flooring company
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.980
in the nation in less than a year. I am considered
00:05:57.980 --> 00:06:03.889
a historic autistic success story. because I'm
00:06:03.889 --> 00:06:07.089
only able to do those high -level marketing things
00:06:07.089 --> 00:06:12.410
because of the superpower of autism as opposed
00:06:12.410 --> 00:06:16.149
to the disability aspect, which is real. Because
00:06:16.149 --> 00:06:20.810
I, the other end of the autism, I can put together
00:06:20.810 --> 00:06:22.990
a hundred million dollar marketing campaign while
00:06:22.990 --> 00:06:25.410
making breakfast. My mind just works different.
00:06:26.790 --> 00:06:30.689
But executive function disorder, I can not really
00:06:30.689 --> 00:06:32.959
use a cell phone. I have to have an assistant
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:37.920
for it. And that's part of my success in business
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:42.759
is taking what I need in real life. I can't succeed
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.959
in real life without an assistant. So I apply
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.120
that to business, teamwork, every success I've
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.379
ever had. Yeah, I'm the smiley pretty face. And
00:06:53.379 --> 00:06:55.279
I used to have just this beautiful long blonde
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.959
hair. I had to adapt my brand. Sometimes you
00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:02.720
have the The, you don't have what you want. I
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:06.500
would love to have my hair, but genetic. Daddy.
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:11.459
Yes. And so here I am. I have this brand, Ricky
00:07:11.459 --> 00:07:14.779
Lee Travolta. And I find out it's a made up name,
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.399
but I didn't make it up. And people like me and
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.220
people love me and I've done this great stuff.
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:24.680
So I'm just honest about it. Yeah. Ricky Lee
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.759
Travolta. John Travolta is an amazing guy. I
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.800
actually really hope to work with him on projects
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.279
in the future, because I never even wanted to
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:36.259
explore that, because I didn't want to be the
00:07:36.259 --> 00:07:41.279
coattails guy. Joey Travolta is a brilliant film
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.939
director and works with autistic kids. And so
00:07:44.939 --> 00:07:47.680
I'm really looking forward to connecting to him
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.879
if they want to look at it that way. But I never
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.839
wanted to explore that before. And so it's turning
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.620
a negative. into a positive tragedy into trial
00:07:59.620 --> 00:08:04.000
and Related to if I could just keep battling
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:08.279
Related to my daddy being a sex offender Okay,
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:12.720
it's off. It's awful and It made a situation
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:17.560
where my life I've lived with a diagnosis called
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.899
Dissociative identity disorder. You probably
00:08:20.899 --> 00:08:23.819
don't know what that is It used to be called
00:08:23.819 --> 00:08:27.680
multiple personality disorder And it doesn't
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.399
mean I'm crazy. It just means daddy did bad things.
00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:35.159
So when your hero, the man that you love, the
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:42.220
man that you want to love you, is violating as
00:08:42.220 --> 00:08:49.019
a four -year -old child, your mind in order to
00:08:49.019 --> 00:08:53.480
not go crazy, you have to become someone else.
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.330
And so that happened. and it's never gonna go
00:08:57.330 --> 00:09:02.730
away. But by acknowledging it, I'm able to be
00:09:02.730 --> 00:09:07.610
a success. So with Otherworld Computing, Larry
00:09:07.610 --> 00:09:10.529
O 'Connor begged and begged and begged me to
00:09:10.529 --> 00:09:13.610
come on and change not only the company brand,
00:09:13.610 --> 00:09:15.690
it was a struggling little computer company.
00:09:16.529 --> 00:09:20.730
A blip on the map. They joked about it. It was
00:09:20.730 --> 00:09:23.210
a computer company in a rented warehouse in a
00:09:23.210 --> 00:09:25.340
cornfield. It was in the middle of nowhere. flip
00:09:25.340 --> 00:09:28.679
on the map, and he wanted it to be a success.
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:32.039
He wanted to compete with Steve Jobs, but he
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:35.600
was also obsessed with the fact that he was known
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:40.220
far and wide as lying Larry. And he didn't like
00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:43.159
that nickname. And I was the guy who could make
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.580
the company famous and could change that perception
00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:50.500
of him. And so there was all these secret meetings
00:09:50.500 --> 00:09:54.320
because he had somebody heading up there marketing
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.240
him. and public relations and told me he didn't.
00:09:57.259 --> 00:10:02.399
So he was lying to Jen Schomburg. And I didn't
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.620
find that out until I showed up for my first
00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:06.639
day. And she's the one who answered the door.
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.480
Awkward. But they have all these secret meetings.
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:14.600
And in order for me to accept a corporate position
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.799
where I'm in the office, where I'm the executive
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:20.700
spokesperson, where I'm the number two guy in
00:10:20.700 --> 00:10:23.179
the company, A, I have to have part ownership
00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:26.990
of the company and D, there has to be a handshake
00:10:26.990 --> 00:10:33.830
deal where he knows I have multiple personality
00:10:33.830 --> 00:10:37.830
disorder because there's a solution to it. I
00:10:37.830 --> 00:10:41.649
had to have a private office because I'm the
00:10:41.649 --> 00:10:43.490
golden boy of the company. Everybody loves me.
00:10:43.809 --> 00:10:47.210
My concepts, my vision is making the company
00:10:47.210 --> 00:10:51.429
untold profits. But the reality is at some point
00:10:51.429 --> 00:10:54.960
I'm going to start barking like a dog or talking
00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.679
like a black woman from Kentucky, or maybe talking
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.299
like an alien. Who knows? None of it's dangerous.
00:11:04.899 --> 00:11:09.379
But I'm going to lose the respect of everybody
00:11:09.379 --> 00:11:13.179
in the company. And so, image and branding, what
00:11:13.179 --> 00:11:15.779
I'm great at on a corporate level, with celebrities,
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.480
Hollywood stars, rock stars, I also do with myself.
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.980
As long as I have the private office, I'm the
00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:26.100
golden boy of the company. anything's gonna happen,
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.299
I'm in the office, nobody sees it. Nobody sees
00:11:29.299 --> 00:11:32.860
it, it's like it didn't happen. I come out, I'm
00:11:32.860 --> 00:11:38.139
still Ricky, and everybody's happy. So, acknowledging
00:11:38.139 --> 00:11:42.820
the truth, not trying to hide that I have this,
00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:46.539
because it will never go away. But, and I had
00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:53.299
the same deal with Steve Silvers at Empire Today.
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:58.299
I introduced the Accutron Modbook, the only product
00:11:58.299 --> 00:12:03.240
in the history of Apple Mac World Convention.
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:06.200
It was like the biggest, it was almost religious
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:10.720
of this big event every year in San Francisco,
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:14.600
California. And Steve Jobs would unveil the latest
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.440
and greatest Apple products and all the Apple
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.679
related. vendors would be there and just take
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:23.019
over the city of San Francisco. It dominated
00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:26.860
tech headlines every year. And in the history
00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:34.120
of Mack War, only one product, one company won
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:39.320
the best of show that wasn't Apple. The accent
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.700
on Moppo. Oh, I see the song. I don't know Empire.
00:12:44.090 --> 00:12:47.710
I was not, I don't invent things. I didn't invent
00:12:47.710 --> 00:12:51.429
the mod book that was Andres Hobbs, but it would
00:12:51.429 --> 00:12:54.789
have never appeared anywhere if it hadn't been
00:12:54.789 --> 00:12:56.929
for the way I structured the marketing campaign.
00:12:57.149 --> 00:13:00.429
And that's why Steve Jobs called me personally
00:13:00.429 --> 00:13:03.789
and complimented Andres, of course. But he told
00:13:03.789 --> 00:13:06.970
me I'm a marketing genius. He said, Ricky Lee
00:13:06.970 --> 00:13:10.389
Travolta is a marketing genius. And wow, from
00:13:10.389 --> 00:13:14.509
being the little kid, no. My mother and her brothers
00:13:14.509 --> 00:13:17.470
and so forth called me an idiot to this day because
00:13:17.470 --> 00:13:20.370
they've never googled me. They don't realize
00:13:20.370 --> 00:13:24.529
what I've done because they, wow, right? And
00:13:24.529 --> 00:13:26.590
then my father had special names for me too,
00:13:26.690 --> 00:13:29.350
the most notable being defective. He would make
00:13:29.350 --> 00:13:33.690
me burn moles off my body as punishment for being
00:13:33.690 --> 00:13:37.809
defective. But Steve Jobs saw a different side
00:13:37.809 --> 00:13:44.360
of me. Steve Jobs saw a genius. to Joel Glantz,
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:47.740
the executive vice president of Empire Today,
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:51.860
because David Alenowitz, billionaire venture
00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:56.820
capitalist, had bought this Chicago brand Empire
00:13:56.820 --> 00:14:00.600
carpet, because it had a really big popularity
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:04.139
in Chicago, thanks to just repeated advertising
00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:07.679
with a spokesperson known as the Empire Band,
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.279
which was Lynn Holdren. who wasn't really an
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:12.679
actor or anything. He was the script writer.
00:14:13.100 --> 00:14:16.799
Way back in the day, they bought this ad time
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:19.620
just for pennies. Nobody was buying ad time.
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.139
They bought a ton of it and were airing their
00:14:22.139 --> 00:14:23.960
first commercial. None of the actors could get
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.779
the lines right. They'd already paid for the
00:14:26.779 --> 00:14:29.600
screen time, for the studio time. They had to
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:33.960
shoot. Lynn is the guy who wrote the copy, who
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.519
wrote the ad. And so he was the only one who
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.980
knew the lines, had to step in. and was probably
00:14:39.980 --> 00:14:43.379
the most wooden spokesperson of all time. And
00:14:43.379 --> 00:14:47.440
I loved Lynn. Oh, we were dear friends. But he
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.200
was the first to admit he wasn't an actor. And
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.820
so when David Alenowitz buys this brand to take
00:14:53.820 --> 00:14:57.840
it national, nobody connects to him on a national
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.340
level. They only connected to him in Chicago
00:15:00.340 --> 00:15:02.860
because you adopt something that's familiar.
00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:06.139
They were airing all these ads decade after decade.
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.250
It was like your cousin, your brother. They were,
00:15:09.289 --> 00:15:13.210
Chicago was just used to it. The nation wasn't.
00:15:13.509 --> 00:15:17.690
And so the brand was not doing really well. And
00:15:17.690 --> 00:15:19.509
they tried to bring in different things. They
00:15:19.509 --> 00:15:22.669
brought in, I think it was a newscaster, female
00:15:22.669 --> 00:15:24.429
newscaster. I want to say it was Minnesota and
00:15:24.429 --> 00:15:27.549
it didn't work. And so Joel Glantz, brilliant
00:15:27.549 --> 00:15:29.769
gentleman, senior vice president, the only guy
00:15:29.769 --> 00:15:32.730
there who dated back to when Lynn Haldred started.
00:15:33.590 --> 00:15:35.950
He said, we need something different. We need
00:15:35.950 --> 00:15:39.379
something, something different. And he went out
00:15:39.379 --> 00:15:43.120
and got me because I just stole the thunder from
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:48.299
Steve Jobs. The year that Andres and I won the
00:15:48.299 --> 00:15:52.120
best of show at Macworld. The thing that Steve
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.299
Jobs was talking about. The iPhone. That's how
00:15:58.299 --> 00:16:06.100
major I. Commanded tech headlines. And so Joel
00:16:06.100 --> 00:16:09.529
Glantz. realized I was the guy who could do it.
00:16:09.730 --> 00:16:15.590
I also was very different than this guy. I had
00:16:15.590 --> 00:16:19.169
very long, long hair. It's called gone now. This
00:16:19.169 --> 00:16:21.309
is not me, but I had just done a model and shoot
00:16:21.309 --> 00:16:23.570
with Fabio. So this is why he sent the picture.
00:16:24.509 --> 00:16:27.629
And so I, it was like small, medium, medium and
00:16:27.629 --> 00:16:31.269
large. It was Fabio is about six, six. He's just
00:16:31.269 --> 00:16:34.850
huge. And I'm as straight as they come. I have
00:16:34.850 --> 00:16:37.659
many gay friends, but I am straight as an arrow
00:16:37.659 --> 00:16:42.179
but even I can recognize this man's just he was
00:16:42.179 --> 00:16:45.360
like a statue and then his cousin from Italy
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.480
he was like medium um and because we all look
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:51.419
very very similar and he was the medium and I
00:16:51.419 --> 00:16:54.000
was the small which was really hurtful to my
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:59.299
ego because I'm 5 '11 and that's not really normally
00:16:59.299 --> 00:17:04.279
regarded as uh small but I was compared to I'll
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.140
put that back later I was compared to Fabio.
00:17:08.220 --> 00:17:10.220
And so I just done that model and shoot. So very
00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:14.460
different image than this guy. And I'm a very
00:17:14.460 --> 00:17:17.640
different kind of spokesperson. Not a spokesperson
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:23.019
recites lines. They read the words. I'm also
00:17:23.019 --> 00:17:25.519
the guy who does it behind the scenes. I come
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:30.539
up with the campaigns. So, wow, exactly what
00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:33.440
they want. The guy who can change the industry.
00:17:34.099 --> 00:17:36.980
Well, we have to have that deal. because I'm
00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:40.460
going to be in the office. I have to have a private
00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:44.400
office. So Joel knew it and Steve Silvers, the
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:47.599
president and David Linowitz and Steve Silvers,
00:17:47.619 --> 00:17:51.460
you know, negotiation. Steve Silvers was actually
00:17:51.460 --> 00:17:56.400
later sued for embezzlement by Empire Today for
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:01.440
like 25 million dollars. Wow. Yeah. But back
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.910
in the day, That's what it took. I had to have
00:18:03.910 --> 00:18:06.569
part ownership and we had to have this agreement
00:18:06.569 --> 00:18:10.789
that I would have a private office. And I did
00:18:10.789 --> 00:18:14.730
it. I was introduced as the new empire man in
00:18:14.730 --> 00:18:18.910
August 18th, 2007, Wrigley Field with Lou Pennella
00:18:18.910 --> 00:18:22.569
standing by on the field with the Cubs. And we
00:18:22.569 --> 00:18:27.769
had Lynn go out at the first pitch. And then
00:18:27.769 --> 00:18:33.150
I started doing the national media. And Lynn
00:18:33.150 --> 00:18:37.130
did the local. And I just, any success I've had
00:18:37.130 --> 00:18:39.869
has been by doing things different. So I didn't
00:18:39.869 --> 00:18:43.410
invent product placement. Some very brilliant
00:18:43.410 --> 00:18:47.210
person did. And I stumbled into it in the early
00:18:47.210 --> 00:18:49.269
days, back when I was with other world computing.
00:18:50.009 --> 00:18:54.569
My friend Dan Reilly, he is a film producer and
00:18:54.569 --> 00:18:57.289
a television producer. And my first book, My
00:18:57.289 --> 00:19:01.829
Fractured Life, Ah, here we go. Was optioned
00:19:01.829 --> 00:19:05.710
by Dan Riley and Peter Clarke and Port McGee
00:19:05.710 --> 00:19:09.130
Pictures to be made into a feature film. And
00:19:09.130 --> 00:19:11.549
Heath Ledger actually really wants to star in
00:19:11.549 --> 00:19:13.569
that. And we just got the film and television
00:19:13.569 --> 00:19:16.970
rights back. So unfortunately, it won't be the
00:19:16.970 --> 00:19:19.529
Heath. You know, God bless his soul. It would
00:19:19.529 --> 00:19:22.769
have been a phenomenal movie with him. But I
00:19:22.769 --> 00:19:25.250
think it's going to be a phenomenal movie with
00:19:25.250 --> 00:19:28.200
a young star of today. And that's going to be
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:31.940
talking about the multiple personalities. Is
00:19:31.940 --> 00:19:33.740
that like the book is you're highlighting your
00:19:33.740 --> 00:19:36.839
life and your stories? No, this is a fiction
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:39.059
book. This is a fiction. It actually helped.
00:19:39.299 --> 00:19:43.759
It helped pioneer a genre called alternate history.
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.119
What? Once upon a time in Hollywood, Quentin
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:51.599
Tarantino's Oscar winning film. That's one example
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:56.259
of how this genre has exploded. I didn't invent
00:19:56.259 --> 00:20:00.920
it. I saw a film called Fatherland, which it
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.980
made the story that the Nazis had won World War
00:20:03.980 --> 00:20:07.359
II. What would life be like in that? And that's
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.019
a horrible thing, but it's a great concept, the
00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:13.299
what if. And so I took it and it's an alternate
00:20:13.299 --> 00:20:18.920
history. It's just about a fictional movie star.
00:20:19.539 --> 00:20:23.420
And I loaned him some of my attributes, like
00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:29.259
he, did Tony and Tina's wedding and he had this
00:20:29.259 --> 00:20:32.859
fake series on tv and you know made up for the
00:20:32.859 --> 00:20:37.220
book called then again and David Bryan of Bon
00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:40.859
Jovi was going to the score the soundtrack for
00:20:40.859 --> 00:20:43.619
the film and just a brilliant gentleman. When
00:20:43.619 --> 00:20:46.680
I was meeting with him he talked about this musical
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:49.440
he had in workshop called Memphis and he talked
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:51.940
about different plans for that and lo and behold
00:20:52.430 --> 00:20:56.190
It ends up on Broadway and wins the Tony. But
00:20:56.190 --> 00:20:59.750
David was going to do the music and one of the
00:20:59.750 --> 00:21:03.450
things he was so excited about was the opportunity
00:21:03.450 --> 00:21:08.109
to do a theme song for an 80s TV show then again
00:21:08.109 --> 00:21:12.630
within the story because it was then again was
00:21:12.630 --> 00:21:16.289
a takeoff of 21 Jump Street. Young guys playing
00:21:16.289 --> 00:21:20.910
cops and so that really excited him. And so anyway
00:21:20.910 --> 00:21:23.849
I'm with Otherworld Computing, the executive
00:21:23.849 --> 00:21:26.369
spokesperson. I'm the head of all marketing and
00:21:26.369 --> 00:21:29.390
public relations and image. I'm the head of our
00:21:29.390 --> 00:21:32.049
Otherworld Entertainment Division, working with
00:21:32.049 --> 00:21:35.630
stars from the Star Trek universe. I did a project.
00:21:35.690 --> 00:21:38.970
We brought in Chase Masterson, who played Lita
00:21:38.970 --> 00:21:43.589
on Deep Space Nine. Dear friend of mine, one
00:21:43.589 --> 00:21:46.690
of the most beautiful women ever, just physically.
00:21:47.230 --> 00:21:50.630
But beyond that, so talented as an actress, as
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:53.900
a singer, but also as a business person. And
00:21:53.900 --> 00:21:57.339
she has cultivated her fame into doing something
00:21:57.339 --> 00:22:02.240
good. And that's Pop Hero Culture, Pop Hero,
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.420
Pop Culture Hero Coalition. And they help combat
00:22:07.420 --> 00:22:10.720
bullying and do good things like that. And I
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:13.920
just love, I love Chase. She's the most amazing
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:16.799
person. And I was so honored to get to start
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:20.609
our relationship. We did a film Yesterday was
00:22:20.609 --> 00:22:23.849
a lot. And that was all brought about from Larry
00:22:23.849 --> 00:22:26.670
wanted to start Otherworld Entertainment as a
00:22:26.670 --> 00:22:30.049
division. And I worked with Larry, you know,
00:22:30.250 --> 00:22:32.829
Roger Adler, brilliant musician, Emmy -winning
00:22:32.829 --> 00:22:36.049
musician. And we were talking to George Takei
00:22:36.049 --> 00:22:38.809
about coming out for a project and Scott Bakula
00:22:38.809 --> 00:22:42.349
and all that. And so here I am doing all that
00:22:42.349 --> 00:22:45.650
great stuff. And the book, My Fractured Life,
00:22:45.849 --> 00:22:48.349
had been optioned by Dan Reilly and Peter Peter
00:22:48.349 --> 00:22:51.430
Clark, and Dan was producing for e -entertainment
00:22:51.430 --> 00:22:54.369
producing television back then. So I'm doing
00:22:54.369 --> 00:22:56.970
things different at Otherworld Computing, making
00:22:56.970 --> 00:23:00.289
headlines of things. I say, hey, Dan, can you
00:23:00.289 --> 00:23:03.109
put our products in the back of your shops? And
00:23:03.109 --> 00:23:05.970
he laughs at me. He says, man, Ricky, that's
00:23:05.970 --> 00:23:09.589
a great idea, but that's not how it's done. It's
00:23:09.589 --> 00:23:11.650
called product placement. And he introduces me
00:23:11.650 --> 00:23:15.210
to a product placement agent. And then I learn.
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:19.839
So when I go over to other world computing, or
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:22.740
I'm sorry, when I go over to Empire today, I
00:23:22.740 --> 00:23:27.839
go gangbusters with it. So I make, up until that
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:31.019
point, they were paying through the nose to advertise
00:23:31.019 --> 00:23:33.980
on everything. And I took a different approach.
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:38.799
I made us the official flooring company of everything.
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:42.220
And I'll cite an example. Montell Williams show,
00:23:42.579 --> 00:23:45.569
one of the most popular shows on the air at that
00:23:45.569 --> 00:23:49.529
time, and it's daily. And so I negotiated the
00:23:49.529 --> 00:23:52.190
deal where we were the official flooring company
00:23:52.190 --> 00:23:54.589
of the Montell Williams show. And so instead
00:23:54.589 --> 00:23:57.230
of paying through the nose for advertising, we
00:23:57.230 --> 00:24:00.990
were on the show, our logo and credits every
00:24:00.990 --> 00:24:04.009
day. In addition to that, I'm appearing on the
00:24:04.009 --> 00:24:06.130
show. In addition to that, when they would have
00:24:06.130 --> 00:24:08.970
a tragedy strike and a family, their house burns
00:24:08.970 --> 00:24:11.849
down or something and somebody builds them a
00:24:11.849 --> 00:24:15.880
house or something. Empire Today provides the
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:17.839
carpeting, and we get the bragging rights, the
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:20.440
headlines, and it's all networking. It's all
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:23.500
working this big web, not one thing at a time.
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:27.119
And that's the autism. That's what a quote -unquote
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:31.779
normal person can't do. So, official flooring
00:24:31.779 --> 00:24:34.900
company of the Montell Williams show. I'm also
00:24:34.900 --> 00:24:39.119
appearing on every show on HGTV Playboy channel,
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:41.920
doing things with them. And I tied in. a lot
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:44.359
of celebrities. Now, I'll use my little visual
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.380
aid. This is autographed by Danny Bonaducci and
00:24:48.380 --> 00:24:51.420
Adam Carolla, two very famous individuals that
00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:55.940
I worked with and got them affiliated, tying
00:24:55.940 --> 00:25:01.000
in names, doing all these things. And the result
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:04.160
was number one foreign company in the nation
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:08.720
in less than a year. A normal person would have
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:10.940
done it in 10 to 20 years. They've looked at
00:25:10.940 --> 00:25:14.759
the statistics. I was able to do it because of
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:20.039
the superpower of autism, but I had to have that
00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:25.059
private office because, and here's the thing,
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:28.940
Adrian, because if it was to be taken away, it
00:25:28.940 --> 00:25:33.259
would be, it would be abuse. It would be discrimination
00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:38.099
because they would be knowingly violating of
00:25:38.099 --> 00:25:40.940
a contract, a handshake deal, and they'll be
00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:45.279
knowingly abusing a technically disabled person.
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:50.519
And Adrian, once the brilliant Joel Glantz who
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:53.299
brought me in was forced out of the company,
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:58.920
that's what they did. They took away my life.
00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:04.460
And I achieved all this success for them knowing
00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:08.019
that I had to do it my way. They bring in a woman
00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:12.259
named Marlo McKaylick and a vice president who
00:26:12.259 --> 00:26:16.279
is the best friend of Steve Silver's. Todd, at
00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:20.740
least his name was Todd Johnson. And he'd never
00:26:20.740 --> 00:26:23.119
had a success in business. He'd been vice president
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:26.500
and run companies out of business, but was best
00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:29.259
friends with people and get these jobs. And so
00:26:29.259 --> 00:26:34.160
I was ordered to achieve the same results. These
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.220
these groundbreaking legendary results that had
00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:40.220
never been achieved. I was I was demanded that
00:26:40.220 --> 00:26:45.640
I achieve those results with other people's Campaigns
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.220
I couldn't make them up. I had to and that that
00:26:48.220 --> 00:26:50.559
doesn't work. That's not the formula for success.
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:55.160
You can't say Here's a can of green paint Paint
00:26:55.160 --> 00:27:01.490
the house blue That's not logical and so That's
00:27:01.490 --> 00:27:04.130
where I always go back to you have to be honest
00:27:04.130 --> 00:27:09.190
when I advise a company I Advise them to always
00:27:09.190 --> 00:27:12.750
be honest and accept that the truth is the truth.
00:27:13.650 --> 00:27:18.950
I Wish I I wish daddy didn't rape me He did I
00:27:18.950 --> 00:27:22.569
wish I didn't have multiple personalities It's
00:27:22.569 --> 00:27:25.170
a real pain in the butt because I've never had
00:27:25.170 --> 00:27:28.289
a successful romantic relationship. I've always
00:27:28.289 --> 00:27:33.440
dreamed of The one true love and my babysitters
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:35.819
my mother didn't like me never used the words
00:27:35.819 --> 00:27:37.480
I'd love you or I'm proud of you and my father
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.119
liked me in the wrong way so my babysitters were
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:46.619
the TV and film and in 54, you know back in those
00:27:46.619 --> 00:27:50.420
days every Hollywood story everything you saw
00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:53.500
on screen Boy and girl fall in love and they
00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:56.119
stay together forever. And that's what I dreamed
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:02.390
up but How does a woman live with somebody who
00:28:02.390 --> 00:28:06.009
becomes other people? Because it happens. And
00:28:06.009 --> 00:28:12.950
God bless the women who have tried. And again,
00:28:13.170 --> 00:28:18.410
I have found a way to look at things differently.
00:28:19.029 --> 00:28:25.549
And I punished myself forever for not having
00:28:25.549 --> 00:28:30.809
the one true love. And then one day, I decided
00:28:30.809 --> 00:28:35.670
let's not punish Ricky. Let's look at the positive.
00:28:36.789 --> 00:28:41.369
I've been fortunate to have several true loves.
00:28:42.769 --> 00:28:48.329
And it started with Adina Friance. My first real
00:28:48.329 --> 00:28:52.029
true love. And I probably would have married
00:28:52.029 --> 00:28:56.349
her except my father flew out and raped me. And
00:28:56.349 --> 00:29:03.509
then I had... the wonderful Jessica Lauren Fisher,
00:29:04.470 --> 00:29:08.390
one of the most brilliant singers and actresses
00:29:08.390 --> 00:29:12.269
I've ever worked with. And she could have been
00:29:12.269 --> 00:29:16.349
a star. In fact, she was up for a role on Raven
00:29:16.349 --> 00:29:20.150
Simone's series, Raven, back in the day. Oh yes,
00:29:20.369 --> 00:29:23.910
love Raven. And I think she would have gotten
00:29:23.910 --> 00:29:26.210
it if she followed my advice. She was up for
00:29:26.210 --> 00:29:28.859
the best friend. And I said, You have to stand
00:29:28.859 --> 00:29:32.480
out. If you go to that final callback, you're
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:34.640
just going to blend in with every other person
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:36.019
who is up for it, because they're just looking
00:29:36.019 --> 00:29:41.299
for a type. Jessica, go in pajamas. Be totally
00:29:41.299 --> 00:29:43.740
different and make that the catch for the character.
00:29:43.859 --> 00:29:46.440
And she didn't do it. I think if she did, it
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:48.720
might have been different. But it doesn't matter.
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:54.119
It didn't happen. We did a production of Bye
00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:56.910
Bye Birdie together. And I was supposed to do
00:29:56.910 --> 00:30:00.309
the 2005 Broadway revival of that, and the financing
00:30:00.309 --> 00:30:04.230
went away. So didn't do that. But it's a show
00:30:04.230 --> 00:30:06.490
that I've done many, many times. And I got to
00:30:06.490 --> 00:30:11.470
do it once with her. And then my next true love,
00:30:12.730 --> 00:30:15.809
Sonia. Now it's Sonia Tervoltas. She was Sonia
00:30:15.809 --> 00:30:21.049
Rahani. And I called her my time stopper, the
00:30:21.049 --> 00:30:25.130
first time that I saw her. I was running a dance
00:30:25.130 --> 00:30:31.609
studio. The guy that my family call an idiot,
00:30:32.589 --> 00:30:35.109
my mother and her brothers call an idiot and
00:30:35.109 --> 00:30:37.630
stupid, that Steve Jobs said is a marketing genius.
00:30:38.170 --> 00:30:40.829
Well, I became a college dance teacher, college
00:30:40.829 --> 00:30:45.549
dance professor at the age of 20. And so I'm
00:30:45.549 --> 00:30:47.890
starting to side a little more with Steve Jobs
00:30:47.890 --> 00:30:54.819
on how to classify me. I was running a dance
00:30:54.819 --> 00:30:57.880
studio, North Shore Dance Center. It's still
00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:01.779
in existence. It's North Shore Dance and Theater
00:31:01.779 --> 00:31:07.880
now. And I started that with Arla Fay, Adina
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:13.059
Franci's mother, my first love. Because Adina
00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:15.759
didn't have an artistic bone in her body, hated
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:19.000
the arts, but her mom was this brilliant choreographer
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:22.440
and dance teacher, so she loved me. taught me
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:25.759
to dance, got me the job as the dance professor
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:29.180
at the college. And then later on, we had North
00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:34.480
Shore Dance Center. And so Sonja, her daughter,
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:38.960
Jessica, who I still consider mine, Jessica was
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:42.779
taking lessons. And normally it was Sonja's ex
00:31:42.779 --> 00:31:45.440
-husband, Samer, who would come and pick her
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:52.390
up. And one day Sonja walks in. And time stopped.
00:31:53.990 --> 00:31:59.430
But the problem, I was still being raped by my
00:31:59.430 --> 00:32:02.069
father. I had multiple personality disorder.
00:32:02.309 --> 00:32:05.250
I was drinking like a fish because when you have
00:32:05.250 --> 00:32:08.009
that kind of emotional pain, you're doing anything
00:32:08.009 --> 00:32:11.210
to cover it up. So unfortunately, the relationship
00:32:11.210 --> 00:32:16.450
never had a chance. And that was repeated again
00:32:16.450 --> 00:32:20.470
with Marie. And I'm not going to say her last
00:32:20.470 --> 00:32:24.210
name. because my father's actually issuing death
00:32:24.210 --> 00:32:27.289
threats and things, and she doesn't want her
00:32:27.289 --> 00:32:33.309
name known very logically. But she and I have
00:32:33.309 --> 00:32:38.670
a son, and she was the one I thought would be
00:32:38.670 --> 00:32:44.210
forever. I really did. And it was the interference
00:32:44.210 --> 00:32:50.599
of my mother's family and impact today. That
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.579
caused me to be misdiagnosed for about 20 years
00:32:53.579 --> 00:32:58.420
because one in four autistic people, one in four
00:32:58.420 --> 00:33:00.880
autistic men and one in three autistic women
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:05.240
are misdiagnosed with mental illness, usually
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:09.359
schizophrenia. And I went to the hospital, one
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:12.480
of the top marketing people in the country, and
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:16.660
I was unconscious. And my mother's brother, Kirk
00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:20.329
Landers, and I believe maybe some other members
00:33:20.329 --> 00:33:23.990
of the family. They haven't revealed who. They're
00:33:23.990 --> 00:33:27.089
not talking to me once they was found out. They
00:33:27.089 --> 00:33:31.369
told the hospital while I was unconscious. Yeah.
00:33:31.849 --> 00:33:35.569
They told them that I was schizophrenic. And
00:33:35.569 --> 00:33:37.589
they hadn't interacted with me since I was a
00:33:37.589 --> 00:33:40.430
little kid. They were basing it all on what my
00:33:40.430 --> 00:33:44.990
father, the sex offender, was telling them to
00:33:44.990 --> 00:33:48.640
cover up why I was acting out as a kid. being
00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:53.380
abused. And to this day, Kirk Landers, Mike Landers,
00:33:53.579 --> 00:33:55.960
Scott Landers, and Patricia Elizabeth Landers
00:33:55.960 --> 00:34:01.940
-Beasey refuse to look at hundreds of legal documents
00:34:01.940 --> 00:34:05.660
of evidence. They refuse to look at the pictures
00:34:05.660 --> 00:34:09.079
of my father from the sex offender registry that
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:12.400
you can look up online. Because, as Kirk Landers
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:17.000
put it, I don't need to look at evidence. Ricky,
00:34:17.179 --> 00:34:23.619
You're crazy. Your dad is a charming guy. Refusing
00:34:23.619 --> 00:34:31.139
to look at evidence. Did you testify then? Did
00:34:31.139 --> 00:34:33.320
you have to testify against your dad to get him
00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:37.480
in prison? To put him in prison? Oh, there's
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.099
more fun there. He's issuing death threats right
00:34:40.099 --> 00:34:44.980
now. I'm in hiding. I was advised by the Schomburg
00:34:44.980 --> 00:34:48.960
police. of Chambourg, Illinois to go into hiding
00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:53.239
because he's actively issuing threats because
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:56.420
the Lagos legal police have not arrested him
00:34:56.420 --> 00:35:01.179
yet. And so I will very definitely be testified
00:35:01.179 --> 00:35:06.619
once he is arrested. The legal process works
00:35:06.619 --> 00:35:09.360
a little slow sometimes, which is really disappointing
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:14.900
when all I want to do is be with my kids. So
00:35:14.900 --> 00:35:17.099
I had that beautiful relationship with Marie
00:35:17.099 --> 00:35:22.980
and she The most beautiful one I've ever seen
00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:27.039
in my life And so talented she could have had
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:31.440
an incredible recording career her voice I I
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:33.739
worked with Janet Jackson early in my career.
00:35:33.739 --> 00:35:36.119
I was in college I was just lucky to be on the
00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:38.780
team and I did not head the team, but I learned
00:35:38.780 --> 00:35:42.440
from them and we did the promotions for Rhythm
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:45.349
Nation at the time, the most Grammy nominations
00:35:45.349 --> 00:35:48.369
in history for an album. I've worked with some
00:35:48.369 --> 00:35:52.349
pretty big divas. I appeared with Liza Minnelli.
00:35:52.510 --> 00:35:56.349
I didn't sing with her. I was a dancer. But you
00:35:56.349 --> 00:35:58.969
know, I worked with a lot of really big people.
00:35:59.469 --> 00:36:04.070
I mean, Chase Masterson, you know her as the
00:36:04.070 --> 00:36:08.389
sci -fi goddess on TV, but you should hear her
00:36:08.389 --> 00:36:11.809
sing. She should be on Broadway. They're doing
00:36:11.809 --> 00:36:15.050
a Broadway revival of Gypsy right now. She should
00:36:15.050 --> 00:36:18.289
really be in line as one of the replacements
00:36:18.289 --> 00:36:20.550
for the main role because she has that level
00:36:20.550 --> 00:36:24.289
of talent. But my relationship with Marie was
00:36:24.289 --> 00:36:29.429
destroyed, destroyed because I went to the hospital,
00:36:29.610 --> 00:36:32.889
unconscious, top executive in the country, top
00:36:32.889 --> 00:36:36.590
five in marketing, and woke up not able to wipe
00:36:36.590 --> 00:36:39.739
my own behind. because they had already pumped
00:36:39.739 --> 00:36:45.860
me full of like the highest doses of anti -psychotic
00:36:45.860 --> 00:36:48.820
medication, which when it was discovered, what
00:36:48.820 --> 00:36:52.360
had been done? Darren Coulter at Chio Health
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:54.119
was the one who discovered it, because all he
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:57.900
did was look at the medical records. Unfortunately,
00:36:57.980 --> 00:37:01.780
when you have state doctors, they can be really
00:37:01.780 --> 00:37:05.059
nice people, but then they didn't graduate at
00:37:05.059 --> 00:37:09.119
the top of the class usually. And so Dr. Ritu
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:12.440
Talwar for 20 years was writing down everything
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:16.659
I was saying. And instead of acknowledging she
00:37:16.659 --> 00:37:20.179
was doing the wrong thing, kept increasing the
00:37:20.179 --> 00:37:23.920
dosage rather than taking it away. And Darren
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:26.239
Coulter looks at the notes. All he had to do
00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:30.199
was read them and say, oh my Lord, you've been
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:32.599
saying the truth and they've been ignoring it.
00:37:32.619 --> 00:37:35.980
Same thing with Dr. Susan Olmst, the therapist.
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:39.519
who was treating me for those 20 years, who was
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:42.719
listening to all this about the multiple personalities,
00:37:42.980 --> 00:37:46.840
and then terminated my caring legally in HIPAA
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:50.639
violations because it was pointed out she wasn't
00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:53.460
treating the multiple personalities, was just
00:37:53.460 --> 00:38:00.840
telling me she was. And wow. And so Darren looks
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:03.440
at the information and that's all it took. All
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:06.449
it took was looking at it. And within like I
00:38:06.449 --> 00:38:09.510
don't know, weak. Suddenly, I'm a normal person
00:38:09.510 --> 00:38:14.849
again. And what he said was that giving that
00:38:14.849 --> 00:38:18.690
kind of medication, super powerful, to somebody
00:38:18.690 --> 00:38:23.070
who doesn't need it, it's like giving massive
00:38:23.070 --> 00:38:26.369
amounts of chemotherapy medicine to somebody
00:38:26.369 --> 00:38:29.690
without cancer. I could not wipe my own behind.
00:38:30.550 --> 00:38:34.110
Literally, I couldn't work. I couldn't even button
00:38:34.110 --> 00:38:37.210
my shirts. And I think you see that a very different
00:38:37.210 --> 00:38:41.969
version than that. And that's all it took was
00:38:41.969 --> 00:38:47.889
a medical practitioner looking past the symptoms,
00:38:48.489 --> 00:38:55.349
looking past what somebody had told him and looking
00:38:55.349 --> 00:38:59.650
at the actual facts. Because in terms of symptoms,
00:39:00.510 --> 00:39:04.289
an autistic person who is being raped is going
00:39:04.409 --> 00:39:08.510
to exhibit the symptoms that match schizophrenia.
00:39:09.429 --> 00:39:12.090
But if you look instead of the symptoms, you
00:39:12.090 --> 00:39:17.369
look at the cause, then you get the real result.
00:39:18.130 --> 00:39:21.610
And that's becoming a problem in our medical
00:39:21.610 --> 00:39:27.409
system because things are owned by corporations
00:39:27.409 --> 00:39:30.030
now. It's just a fact. I'm not going to say good
00:39:30.030 --> 00:39:33.079
or bad. It's a fact. And we need corporations
00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:36.340
for this country. We need our economy. I love
00:39:36.340 --> 00:39:38.659
the country. I'm America's friend. I want everyone
00:39:38.659 --> 00:39:42.920
to succeed. But part of the corporate ownership
00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:46.360
of the mental system is the rules that are put
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:50.820
in place where a doctor is given a timeline of
00:39:50.820 --> 00:39:54.219
10 minutes or 15 minutes that they that's all
00:39:54.219 --> 00:39:57.059
they're allowed with the patient and their notes
00:39:57.059 --> 00:40:02.650
and anything. And sometimes to do the job right
00:40:02.650 --> 00:40:09.090
needs more time. My aunt, Dr. Catherine Landers,
00:40:09.730 --> 00:40:13.510
back when she owned her own practice, it took
00:40:13.510 --> 00:40:16.349
a toll on her marriage to Kirk Landers because
00:40:16.349 --> 00:40:20.170
she would be up hours and hours and hours every
00:40:20.170 --> 00:40:23.869
night like a teacher taking home work after school.
00:40:24.289 --> 00:40:26.030
Well, she had the medical files and be sitting
00:40:26.030 --> 00:40:29.150
there in bed because she was a real doctor doing
00:40:29.150 --> 00:40:32.579
real work. And that's not to insult the current
00:40:32.579 --> 00:40:34.860
doctors. They're real doctors. They've gone to
00:40:34.860 --> 00:40:39.260
medical school. But I bet they would much rather
00:40:39.260 --> 00:40:42.599
have the time to do their job right. And if you're
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:46.739
only given 10 minutes to diagnose something and
00:40:46.739 --> 00:40:51.559
reading the notes is gonna take three hours,
00:40:52.539 --> 00:40:57.420
that's an equation for disaster. And that's,
00:40:57.420 --> 00:41:01.610
yeah. So I lost out on my relationship with Marie,
00:41:01.909 --> 00:41:05.050
and then I had one last true love. And that's
00:41:05.050 --> 00:41:08.849
my business partner, Deborah Swinford. She and
00:41:08.849 --> 00:41:12.010
I own an entertainability group together. And
00:41:12.010 --> 00:41:17.809
when I was, gosh, as a big, strong heterosexual
00:41:17.809 --> 00:41:20.769
man who loves women, I've had things up my butt
00:41:20.769 --> 00:41:23.349
that I don't want up my butt. And so it was daddy.
00:41:23.530 --> 00:41:26.829
um and then an organization called Thresholds
00:41:26.829 --> 00:41:28.690
which was uh social workers who were supposed
00:41:28.690 --> 00:41:31.789
to be taking care of the droid zombie and instead
00:41:31.789 --> 00:41:35.190
a woman named Mary Hutchinson and her supervisor
00:41:35.190 --> 00:41:38.989
Johanna stuck things up my butt and uh it was
00:41:38.989 --> 00:41:44.010
2022 I abandoned in this just awful place in
00:41:44.010 --> 00:41:46.949
in Woodstock and my my family the Landers Kirk
00:41:46.949 --> 00:41:49.510
Landers Mike Landers Scott Landers my mother
00:41:49.510 --> 00:41:51.750
uh actually no Scott Landers I didn't call because
00:41:51.750 --> 00:41:54.900
he was in California So my mother Patricia Elizabeth
00:41:54.900 --> 00:41:58.039
Landers -Beezy, my sister Jordana Beezy -Foster,
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:03.380
Kirk Landers, Mike Landers, and Rachel Landers,
00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:07.519
my cousin. I called all of them. I've been abandoned,
00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:12.260
and I've never wanted to die, never in my life.
00:42:12.860 --> 00:42:17.099
And it was so bad. It was like, I can't live
00:42:17.099 --> 00:42:19.639
here. I would want to kill myself. I didn't want
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:22.889
to kill myself. And nobody would answer the phone.
00:42:23.469 --> 00:42:28.630
And so I show up on the doorstep of Deb Swinford
00:42:28.630 --> 00:42:36.090
with my cat and said, save me. And she did. Oh
00:42:36.090 --> 00:42:42.710
my gosh. She put me in bed. She held me. She
00:42:42.710 --> 00:42:47.250
held me for, I don't know, two days. And she
00:42:47.250 --> 00:42:52.179
talked to me. She let me talk. And that's what
00:42:52.179 --> 00:42:56.699
I needed. And she, then she said, she was my
00:42:56.699 --> 00:43:00.940
best friend for 30 years because we met doing
00:43:00.940 --> 00:43:05.199
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I played Brick, which
00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:07.059
was - Wait, I missed that. What is the name of
00:43:07.059 --> 00:43:16.179
the book? It's not a book. Oh, oh, oh. That was
00:43:16.179 --> 00:43:19.760
then made into a movie. And then - I was offered
00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:22.860
the part of Brick, which is the male lead. He's
00:43:22.860 --> 00:43:25.239
a former football player who's now an alcoholic
00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:29.760
and Deb played Maggie, his wife. And I took the
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:31.599
part. It was at the Woodstock Opera House. And
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:35.400
I took the part because Paul Newman is and always
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:38.460
will be my favorite actor of all time. And he
00:43:38.460 --> 00:43:40.800
did the movie. And the Woodstock Opera House
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:43.019
is actually where he first started his acting
00:43:43.019 --> 00:43:46.289
career. And so I was like, wow. If somebody's
00:43:46.289 --> 00:43:48.170
gonna take on this challenge, I don't know if
00:43:48.170 --> 00:43:50.989
I'm worthy but I would really like to try and
00:43:50.989 --> 00:43:55.230
so I met I met Deb and We stayed we stayed friends
00:43:55.230 --> 00:43:59.730
for You know 30 years we had one divot in our
00:43:59.730 --> 00:44:02.630
relationship and that's when her best friend
00:44:02.630 --> 00:44:06.849
Katherine Tiffany She's apparently always hated
00:44:06.849 --> 00:44:10.110
me. I don't know why Apparently she hates men.
00:44:10.110 --> 00:44:13.760
I don't know She's not invited to her own family
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:16.079
functions. Her family won't invite her to Christmas
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:19.880
and things. So maybe she has issues. I don't
00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:23.139
know. I've always tried to be nice to her. But
00:44:23.139 --> 00:44:27.679
something happened. Deb and I, I was directing
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:30.420
a production of Grease because Deb wanted to
00:44:30.420 --> 00:44:32.239
choreograph a production of Grease and we wanted
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:36.559
to do something together. And some mistakes were
00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:40.360
made by some of the people on staff. Deb was
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:44.639
one of them. I made mistakes. And Kathleen Tiffany
00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:46.559
got on the phone with me and told me she was
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:49.400
going to make up all these lies. And she did.
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:53.039
And I lived with it because I wanted the show
00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:55.860
to go on. And if I was the martyr, then the show
00:44:55.860 --> 00:44:58.420
would go on and so forth. And so Deb and I had
00:44:58.420 --> 00:45:01.460
a little divot in our relationship because she
00:45:01.460 --> 00:45:04.079
was listening to her best friend. She was saying
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:08.320
all these lies. But eventually we reconnected.
00:45:08.969 --> 00:45:12.949
And so then, years later, 2022, I show up on
00:45:12.949 --> 00:45:14.829
her doorstep with the cat, she takes care of
00:45:14.829 --> 00:45:17.690
me. And she says, you know what? You're brilliant.
00:45:18.429 --> 00:45:21.010
I visited you in California when you were working
00:45:21.010 --> 00:45:26.030
with Jerry Goldman, the chief financial officer
00:45:26.030 --> 00:45:28.010
of Paramount. I was kind of his protege because
00:45:28.010 --> 00:45:30.230
I was nice to him one time. He was looking for
00:45:30.230 --> 00:45:33.090
an accounting job. I redid his resume and things
00:45:33.090 --> 00:45:35.269
because I'm just a nice guy. And so he would
00:45:35.269 --> 00:45:37.380
stop production meetings to talk to me. And I
00:45:37.380 --> 00:45:38.800
didn't know it at the time. I was just calling
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:41.179
my buddy in the entertainment industry for advice.
00:45:41.739 --> 00:45:44.880
Turns out he's stopping big time production meetings
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:49.320
because he likes me. And Deb saw that. She had
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:52.079
flown out to California and she had corresponded
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:54.599
with me when I was going across the country doing
00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:56.739
Tony and Tina's wedding and West Side Story and
00:45:56.739 --> 00:46:00.059
all this. I love Tony and Tina's weddings. Oh,
00:46:00.139 --> 00:46:04.360
we could talk forever on that. And then in California,
00:46:04.380 --> 00:46:07.090
I was also working with Ben Roth. uh putting
00:46:07.090 --> 00:46:10.789
down the base structure for raw staffing which
00:46:10.789 --> 00:46:13.429
is now i feel bad four minutes because i do have
00:46:13.429 --> 00:46:19.159
to i have another one meeting Okay, you can finish
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:21.679
it and then let me ask you. The question I want
00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:26.260
to ask you is, what is your goal to, are you
00:46:26.260 --> 00:46:29.340
going on podcasts to help other people? Because
00:46:29.340 --> 00:46:31.599
I think that you really can help. There's not
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:34.519
a lot of conversations around multiple personalities.
00:46:34.619 --> 00:46:37.139
And of course, I'm thinking Sybil because that's
00:46:37.139 --> 00:46:39.139
the only one that I could think of that I know.
00:46:39.739 --> 00:46:44.329
So yeah, I'm curious what your goal is. Another
00:46:44.329 --> 00:46:46.630
question is, at Empire, when you had your own
00:46:46.630 --> 00:46:49.389
office, how did they know? I mean, you could
00:46:49.389 --> 00:46:51.150
keep you in your office, but you could walk out
00:46:51.150 --> 00:46:54.750
the door and be another personality. So how did
00:46:54.750 --> 00:46:57.590
you control that? So sorry, two questions. By
00:46:57.590 --> 00:46:59.869
not walking out the door. By not walking out
00:46:59.869 --> 00:47:02.449
the door. Rules. Everybody follows rules. And
00:47:02.449 --> 00:47:04.969
you have to have tools. So I write myself notes
00:47:04.969 --> 00:47:07.329
so that if I become somebody else, they know
00:47:07.329 --> 00:47:10.530
how to take things over. Every phone, every computer
00:47:10.530 --> 00:47:13.949
I have has the same password. so that any personality
00:47:13.949 --> 00:47:18.409
can get into it and continue working. It's acknowledging
00:47:18.409 --> 00:47:21.849
the truth. And so, you know, acknowledging the
00:47:21.849 --> 00:47:26.889
truth. I redid everything for NeuroTech and other
00:47:26.889 --> 00:47:30.230
world computing and all these. Redid their logo.
00:47:31.329 --> 00:47:33.769
Redid their packaging. They were trying to sell
00:47:33.769 --> 00:47:36.650
things in white boxes because it was free from
00:47:36.650 --> 00:47:43.320
China. And I came up with fancy packaging because
00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:47.059
that sells. I turned it into a present. People
00:47:47.059 --> 00:47:49.059
want to open a present. It looked like a present.
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:52.480
And so all this has been erased from the other
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:56.380
world computing press room. Empire Today has
00:47:56.380 --> 00:48:01.340
erased me. They've put other people's names in
00:48:01.340 --> 00:48:05.280
the articles on it, yet we have the actual ones.
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:10.489
And so that's where the truth matters. because
00:48:10.489 --> 00:48:13.630
you can lie for decades why somebody is the droid
00:48:13.630 --> 00:48:17.309
zombie. But guess what? When Darren Coulter at
00:48:17.309 --> 00:48:20.429
Geode Health, you walk into his office, he says,
00:48:20.829 --> 00:48:23.230
wow, you might be a droid zombie, but I recognize
00:48:23.230 --> 00:48:25.769
that you're a genius. He used the word genius,
00:48:26.190 --> 00:48:29.070
unlocks everything. And I go through my boxes
00:48:29.070 --> 00:48:33.630
and I have the evidence that shows decades of
00:48:33.630 --> 00:48:36.750
corruption that didn't have to happen. Didn't
00:48:36.750 --> 00:48:39.960
have to happen if they just told the truth. Wow,
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:43.280
that is your goal. The truth matters. And just
00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:47.139
be truthful and love people and embrace people
00:48:47.139 --> 00:48:49.960
and help people. That's my message. So I have
00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:53.539
a question for you. So I am a co -host of Debate
00:48:53.539 --> 00:48:57.900
the News True Crime on ChatterSocial. It's a
00:48:57.900 --> 00:49:02.519
live audio social audio video app. And I'll talk
00:49:02.519 --> 00:49:05.260
to Joe. Joseph, I think that you would be a great
00:49:05.260 --> 00:49:09.079
guest to share your story and what had happened.
00:49:09.139 --> 00:49:11.239
So I will get back to you on that. You've been
00:49:11.239 --> 00:49:13.340
amazing. I hate that I have to leave. I've just
00:49:13.340 --> 00:49:15.880
been so engrossed with everything. But I'm processing
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:19.019
it all, too. And it's a wow. And one last question
00:49:19.019 --> 00:49:22.570
before we go. So you said that you, that you,
00:49:22.570 --> 00:49:24.829
I use the word school. So when you're walking
00:49:24.829 --> 00:49:26.789
around in a neighborhood, in a community and
00:49:26.789 --> 00:49:29.730
you see the small businesses, how exactly are
00:49:29.730 --> 00:49:32.429
you schooling the small businesses? Are you talking
00:49:32.429 --> 00:49:35.110
about how they can place their products or like,
00:49:35.269 --> 00:49:37.230
do you see like, okay, their marketing is off?
00:49:37.909 --> 00:49:41.889
What tips do you share? It's listening and communicating
00:49:41.889 --> 00:49:44.389
because every company is different. So the solution
00:49:44.389 --> 00:49:47.150
to success is going to be different for everybody.
00:49:47.409 --> 00:49:51.510
I don't do a formula. I individualize. So all
00:49:51.510 --> 00:49:54.409
I do is I talk to people. I love to talk. I love
00:49:54.409 --> 00:49:57.530
to listen. And if I hear somebody say, hey, I
00:49:57.530 --> 00:50:00.489
have this problem, I can usually figure out a
00:50:00.489 --> 00:50:03.949
solution. I diagnosed my friend Barb developed
00:50:03.949 --> 00:50:06.590
pain and her doctors couldn't figure it out.
00:50:07.010 --> 00:50:09.969
I analyzed the situation, realized that she had
00:50:09.969 --> 00:50:12.309
changed where she was buying her favorite food,
00:50:12.530 --> 00:50:15.030
baby carrots. And we looked at it. It was being
00:50:15.030 --> 00:50:17.329
grown in a different type of soil. different
00:50:17.329 --> 00:50:20.650
fertilizer, took that away. Boom, the pain went
00:50:20.650 --> 00:50:23.309
away. I figured things out. That's the smart
00:50:23.309 --> 00:50:26.469
thing about autism. And I'm just looking forward.
00:50:26.650 --> 00:50:29.150
I'm so glad that I have the rights back to my
00:50:29.150 --> 00:50:32.809
fractured life. Steven Adler of Guns N' Roses
00:50:32.809 --> 00:50:36.250
fame. He's one of my prize clients. I've made
00:50:36.250 --> 00:50:39.050
companies famous. I still do that. I still bring
00:50:39.050 --> 00:50:42.289

00:51:08.550 --> 00:51:11.230
I'm hanging out with the rock stars and Hollywood
00:51:11.230 --> 00:51:15.829
stars. I grew up idolizing. And at the end of
00:51:15.829 --> 00:51:17.110
the day, it shouldn't work, it should be fun.
00:51:17.449 --> 00:51:20.130
And at the end of the day, it should be for a
00:51:20.130 --> 00:51:22.969
good purpose, which is going home to your family.
00:51:23.269 --> 00:51:27.510
So I look forward to stop being in fear of my
00:51:27.510 --> 00:51:29.409
father and his death threats and going home to
00:51:29.409 --> 00:51:31.650
my kids. That's what I'm looking forward to.
00:51:32.369 --> 00:51:35.230
Good. I'm going to keep you in my prayers and
00:51:35.230 --> 00:51:39.030
crossing my fingers. Would I be correct if I
00:51:39.030 --> 00:51:41.969
asked you this question? Ricky, are you a considerate
00:51:41.969 --> 00:51:46.559
savant? I am the term idiot savant is very applicable
00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:50.219
because I am a savant I am Like I said, I didn't
00:51:50.219 --> 00:51:52.440
do the comparison but they compare me to Mozart
00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:55.440
in terms of my marketing Mozart I wish I could
00:51:55.440 --> 00:51:58.119
write songs like him I've had a few albums and
00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:01.039
they're not Mozart but I will tell you Mozart
00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:04.239
was autistic and his music has been proven to
00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:07.880
have soothing effects on autistic minds and So
00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:11.619
it's a very applicable comparison. My super is
00:52:11.619 --> 00:52:15.300
marketing but I'm the idiot in the regards of
00:52:15.300 --> 00:52:17.420
the executive function disorder. I'll never be
00:52:17.420 --> 00:52:20.619
able to do this without assistance. My family,
00:52:20.820 --> 00:52:24.059
the Landers, only see me as the idiot, where
00:52:24.059 --> 00:52:28.539
the rest of the world sees me as the savant.
00:52:29.139 --> 00:52:30.880
Interesting. Thank you for answering that because
00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:34.059
my daughter is dating a savant, so very interesting.
00:52:34.409 --> 00:52:36.929
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Wow. And I just had
00:52:36.929 --> 00:52:39.289
a, I just did an interview the other day with
00:52:39.289 --> 00:52:43.250
tech rescue and the owner. The whole idea is
00:52:43.250 --> 00:52:47.409
that for $50 a month or 400 a year, you get 24
00:52:47.409 --> 00:52:49.550
seven, all the tech support that you need, which
00:52:49.550 --> 00:52:51.690
is so cool. Anyways, I thought that was really
00:52:51.690 --> 00:52:54.550
cool. And it's a great way to help family. Adrian,
00:52:55.110 --> 00:52:57.369
Adrian, I'm going to ask, I'm all about making
00:52:57.369 --> 00:52:59.690
friends and networking and you're not my friend.
00:53:00.690 --> 00:53:02.429
I would love it if you would, if you would put
00:53:02.429 --> 00:53:05.909
me in contact with him. I endorse brands. And
00:53:05.909 --> 00:53:08.750
yes, I endorse big companies, but I'm focused
00:53:08.750 --> 00:53:12.650
more on smaller companies and making them big.
00:53:13.030 --> 00:53:17.849
And so maybe that is somebody who we can do something
00:53:17.849 --> 00:53:20.230
because in the tech industry, I do have a bit
00:53:20.230 --> 00:53:24.190
of a reputation. I made Otherworld Computing,
00:53:24.289 --> 00:53:28.010
a $583 million tech leader. Steve Jobs called
00:53:28.010 --> 00:53:31.429
me a marketing genius. And I was also the spokesperson
00:53:31.429 --> 00:53:39.489
for a tier one I love it. I do have to run. Thank
00:53:39.489 --> 00:53:41.849
you so much. I will be back in touch with you.
00:53:42.110 --> 00:53:44.510
I'm going down the rabbit hole to learn everything
00:53:44.510 --> 00:53:47.409
about you. And I'll talk to Joseph regarding
00:53:47.409 --> 00:53:50.769
the true crimes. And thank you so much. And I
00:53:50.769 --> 00:53:52.550
will be back with you. And then this will be
00:53:52.550 --> 00:53:54.329
turned into a podcast. But we are friends. We're
00:53:54.329 --> 00:53:56.170
gonna stay in touch. I'm going to follow you
00:53:56.170 --> 00:53:58.849
everywhere, everywhere, like a puppy. I'm following
00:53:58.849 --> 00:54:05.179
you. Thank you. Be safe. Be careful. Thank you
00:54:05.179 --> 00:54:07.519
for being so honest and transparent.
