25. Why do you smile so damn much?
Why wouldn't I smile. I genuinley love what i do. So many people waste time on the negative, I figured out early in life that stress and anger are usually wastes of time and energy.
I smile alot because what you put out there is what you get back. Positive energy usually attracts positive responses.
One of the keys to being fulfilled and happy in life is having a career that you love - I am lucky enough to have found that. It hasn't always been that way, and my one advice to people who are unhappy in what they do is to find out early what you are passionate about and work your ass off to make that what you do.
26. What do you think is the most important thing affecting the adult online industry today?
The adult online industry on the whole is still doing well. In the short two years I've been a part of it I've seen some major shifts and changes.
I think free content and social networking/tube sites are having a major effect on companies bottom lines. In the past our industry has capitalized on these types of trends, I see some doing this - but alot are not. Capitalizing on major trends like this will be keys to success of our industry in the future. My two cents.
Piracy of course is another huge issue affecting our industry and draining profits from almost every sector.
I also see a trend of some programs shifting away from the webmasters and focusing more on direct to consumer and brokering deals with other programs for traffic - how this will effect the industry?
27. Like poker, golf and you do not seem to be a fit. What do you think is the problem there and why do you back out whenever you are asked to play?
I'm actually a great poker player if I am at a card club or a house game. At shows when I play I have my mind on so many other things so I tend to get impatient and go all in with junk. Winning at poker is all about patience - and I tend to be a bit busy at shows. (I should relax a bit more,,,lol)
The same cannot be said for golf- I suck.
I played a tournament with the L.A. crew last year and my game was so sloppy it's infamous. I actually do love the game and need to practice my long game in order to feel comfortable out on the green. Thats one of my goals for 2008.
Thats why I back out when Im asked to play - sorry Mitch. Lets hit the driving range and get in some practice.
