27. What do you think of Bob Rice?
At any given conference you will find early one morning sitting alone together Bob Rice and I having a quiet breakfast just to catch up on life. In my life I have never once use this word to describe anyone ? but Bob Rice is my ?mentor?.
Years in the industry do not matter by comparison ? we are like minded. His advice and wisdom is given not for selfish reasons, but for my benefit and success.
When our daughter was born, he was the first man I called ? he is as close to me as a brother. Men like Bob Rice or Dave Cummings are the epitome of what I aspire to be. Dave although we do not communicate on a daily basis has led a full life and has given so much to this industry in a way that few ever have. I can only hope that as I mature that I could have left a fraction of a legacy as he has. I can only hope before he retires he sends me his little black book with all those hot girls he?s fucking.
Someone once said to me that you rarely find a friend that will stay with you for the rest of your life ? thankfully I met Bob during the early years of my adult industry experience and it is his example and leadership that has molded me into the person you see today and keeps me real.
