What do the popular business owners do when they leave adult?

[Publisher Bucks]

The likes of RB has https://www.stage32.com what did others end up doing in the non-porn world, Mark DeForest, Steve LightSpeed, BossHawg, Lensman, etc?

I know Mark entered the gaming arena a few years back with a popular (at the time) video game.

What about the others? Does anyone know what the big names from the old days got into after quitting the industry?

Lightspeed went off the deep end and tried to sue everyone that "caused him to fail".

I wanna know what happened to Kevin, I think his user name was KRL who supposedly was one of the people on the men.com deal years back. He was a really nice guy.

Then there's TushyCash.com - he ran off to like Israel or something, but I sure miss him.

And what about Roger from realitykings? Maybe it was pornkings, one of those.

I liked him too. Am I remembering correctly that Kevin owned Pool? That is still going.

Not sure why you said "popular" - since leaving the industry they should be successful. Leaving without a plan is just dumb - leaving with several million means they don't have to crawl their way through life or attempt a come back.

Those who loose their jobs or leave are basically friendless in this industry - you'll find it hard getting any help and always get told to try job forums or start your own business etc. unless they got a spot for you specifically. If you're active and have a good network then you have a chance to keep going.

Popular or not - those who you counted as your friend will ignore you or pass you off. Few are actually your friend.

I tried leaving this industry at least 3 times, and it's been hard because people kept giving me money or jobs and pressured me to stay, and definitely wasn't what I wanted.
What you said isn't always the case. I had to burn bridges on purpose to finally get out, and that was hard to do..

ps. It's lose, not loose.

Well thanks King Mark - I'm good - just over the past few years I've seen many who've left or who got fired and they've almost cried on skype about how they feel shunned. I have no doubt there are a few great people in the industry who'll help someone who's struggling and they need to be recognized. But don't worry about me - I'm perfectly fine and still going strong even after all these years.

Okay, cool... You obviously had the wrong 'friends' while you have been working in the biz if thats what has happened.

Right but.. I never wanted to be a professional doing this, it was supposed to just be a little pick me up when I needed it, back when making a handful of blogs can make 4-5 figures/week.
Getting out is hard, though, even that one time when I worked for Ruseful was a time when I tried to quit then was given a job instead. I had a real job but then I was paid to quit.
There's a lot that I never said publicly, and I might have gone a little overboard with getting people mad at me, but I really needed the change and I am happier now.

Sorry about all of that.

I was reflecting on others - NOT myself.

This is what I hear from them NOT me.

If it hasn't happened to you then I'm glad - I hope it doesn't - but there are many sales rep's etc. that are not around anymore for that same reason.

you gotta think beyond "jobs" or even industries. its all about hustling so you can have what you want. all jobs should be side hustles, even if they got u 40 hours a week.



and this one for the white people

I'll watch both videos when I get off work

But I do still hustle kind of, I go home on every break and lunch, like right now, and work on a Unity project that I've been wanting to do for a long time now. This way, though, I can get steady checks without worrying about if I'll finish or if they'll pay, and I have taxes and retirement on auto now. I just don't really want to make websites anymore. I made my first one in 1998 and it's been long enough lol.

The thing is there is no reason to leave but rather build other things. Hire good people to run it etc.
