1. With all your sucessful businesses - how many have failed or flopped? How many BAD ideas have you had, lost money on? discuss in detail.

There are no bad buisiness faliures only learning experiences. I have had as many flopps as success, but each one has taught me a lesson that is carried on to the next project , or has taught me how to carry myself or interact with people. Some of the flops that come to mind are investments in several start up companies, that I was not controlling that went belly up with the implosion of the dot com boom. But our of one of those came streamray, so it was worth the loss ;) I prolly lost more in teh stock market than I have on all my otehr bad deals combined. Good news is I am up for all time so I figure I am ahead of the game now the last few years have been very good to me in the markets, more on that later. Another flop was a infomercial we did around camgirls I wanted to do a girls gon wild knockoff like the best of camgirls shows. Totally bombed, but I learned a lot about production and media buys

I tried to knock off virtual girl but was only mildly successfull not enough for me to continue in that arena. My hats off to Rex and crew its not an easy product to pull off ! I tried to do paysites in 1997-1998 but got fuckerd by dmr when they went belly up ! Then I rebuilt and got fuckered by the guy who was running the backend for me. So I missed a lot of the paysite game that prolly woulda made me huge cash. But even that miss just madwe me hungry so when streamray came along I beat the living shit outta it

Fortunately so far my bombs have not been huge money loosers. So I am ahead of the game.
