Let me answer the second question first ? I think Juicy is behind it, but like any masterpiece there are always copies out there, and we all know what happens when you copy from an original. Do it enough times and you have a bunch of idiot clones out there. What many out there who try and copy Juicy?s style fail simply because they do not have his abilities and smarts that make that style work for him. It is natural for him. He?s cool. But now you find skinny white kids walking around as though they are from the hood ? when in fact if they only looked in the mirror they would see that ?dude your white.. and your from the suburbs!!!!? It truly is sad that you need to loose your own identity just to get people to like you. When in fact when I meet these people and they drop the act and allow themselves to be real ? they are seriously great people, but just want to play an act that someone told them works in this industry for success.

This is a multi-billion dollar industry with sales agents who get drunk and splash around in hotel fountains and basically humiliate their company by making fools of themselves. I can only blame the owners who are un-imaginative that focusing on your companies features as to why they are a better choice ? instead they try and draw attention by either price wars or by saying, ?look who has the most arrogant party animal employed here?.

Webmasters care about money ? and if your showing them that you don?t know how to make them money then your program is no different than anyone else?s. Show them your company?s strength in product and service first, THAT is how webmasters will sign up ? NOT who can literally fuck more hookers in Vegas than the next guy.

More adult companies are waking up that more money is wasted on this style of marketing and sales then actually doing marketing and sales.

18. Do you have a warm spot for your wife's grandmother?

Yes ? when we were first dating everyone in her family was opposed to us because they knew I was in the adult industry and felt I was going to talk SheDevil into becoming a pornstar and that I didn?t care about her.

Yet her grandmother was the only one who invited me into her home to meet and talk to me as a human being not caring if I was in the industry or not. She refused to get caught up in the drama that the families were creating saying, ?I will make my own judgment on him by meeting him not by hearsay?

From that meeting she was greatly impressed as she told me and continued to invite me down much to the horror and anger of her children. A few years past and that is all a faded memory now ? everyone in the family gets along well together. SheDevil?s mom and I are best friends and speak often on the computer along with her step dad. I was never ashamed of what I do for a living, and although I don?t mention it around them ? especially their children ? we can all enjoy our time together as family.

Yet for her grandmother ? I hold a special place for her. When everyone else turned their back on me in the family because I worked in porn and I was older than SheDevil ? she truly acted as a Christian should and accepted me without judgment, as family first. I feel humbled and blessed to have met someone such as her.

If the sexdatenetwork membership had a planned get together, not only would Mark be asked to come but he would want to show up ? that?s a community and dedicated man.

I an excited about what the future of this company has to offer and how each employee can shine by bringing to the table their insights along with those successful owners and legends who are much wiser than I in this industry.

That is a very true statement and I know the SDC team is very excited to have you and your years of expertise on the team!

You of course knew that, I just figured I would give you a thread bump.

Now lets rock this world and show people what "SexDating" is!

19. What does the term "we suck, the competition doesn't" mean?

Wow I haven?t heard that in such a long time but it goes back to the first days of Python when we sat around the table trying to find a catch phrase. It was a wonderful time when no one?s answer was wrong ? but we just laughed and joked as mates until it popped out ? ?hey we suck, the competition doesn?t?. David and the others on the team loved it and soon we had it on all our advertising ? it was then that I knew my humor and personality did suit this industry. The best way to have a creative idea is to have lots of ideas. So how does a company do this?

CREATIVITY AND THE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS

Sadly there are still a few companies around that are not set up to assist in the creative process for success. The adult industry is one of the few that do not have any strong advertising agency that someone can go to in order to develop ideas for banners, trade shows or promoting their program. Instead they wait and watch other industry company?s in what they do, then when someone moves ? others attempt to mimic their success (if any). Why is that?

It truly is the way we organize the corporate structure and work environment. Look at the largest companies out there and see how each owner treats and encourages their employee?s. Here?s a small breakdown of examples of the failures that can occur that will slowly disintegrate your company.

An Accountant Based Company

Account Department running the company generally means that no one can budge unless approved by the accountant. This always ends in disaster since creative ideas are immediately squashed as costing too much and the standard foundations of marketing and advertising such as banner ad?s or trade show appearances ? redeveloping your website etc. are limited because of cost factors.

It is possible to accomplish these goals cost effectively, but in general accountants like to think they understand all jobs and the industry, then take steps to hinder any positive development. When it fails then blame the management for not being creative with no money. Accountants know how to manage money and are vital in keeping the rest of us in check, but they are not managers nor are they knowledgeable on sales or marketing.

They can brag all they want but in the end ? they manage money and their desire to save money usually means, ?I can do that job for less so why do we have to hire a professional?? They generally have no respect for employees or their talents; instead they tend to view each person as red. If they are not in sales, then they are expendable. Those in sales are only there until they have a bad month. This attitude then filters down to the employees who at first may work hard but eventually either they become ill from worrying about their job or simply give up and wait to be fired or start looking for another job.

Accountants will never understand someone saying, ?I would work for a company for less money if only the company had a corporate management that is friendly?. Their response is: Feelings!!?!! Good I was about to fire them anyways, now I can save more with their salary gone. Here accountants rarely understand just how much the company needed that persons input until it is too late.

A Micro-Managed Based Company

Then there are companies that are driven by over achieving managers who micro-manage everything because either they simply don?t trust the people they hired or feel they could always do a better job. They are just as dangerous ? wanting to give power to others but never being able too since they honestly feel no one can do the job better than they can. Always looking over your shoulder, always correcting and being negative ? creative ideas are lost in this company because anything said will always be stomped on as silly or stolen and given credit elsewhere.

Micro-managers will never understand someone saying, ?I would work for a company for less money if only the company had a corporate management that is supportive?. Their response is: Supportive!!?!! Let them go, they couldn?t do their job effectively anyways.

A Self Absorbed, Sexually Based Company

Companies that are driven by self centered management where they have to be the center of attention also feel that anyone being hired should not in any way steal the spot light or not worship them in their achievements. Here you have a boss who may be kind, and open to new ideas ? but they either steal them for themselves, boasting to others how awesome they truly are or they use their power to satisfy their own desires.

In this case your either ignored or hit on to sleep with the boss, and in a worst case scenario you need to cover up their indiscretions and keep your opinions to yourself. Creativity once again is shot because if you speak up or show yourself stronger than your boss ? they feel threatened or you may be forced into a situation to sleep with them.

Are there really companies where the boss/owner would force an employee to sleep with them or they are fired? Sadly yes and I have seen it too many times over the years. This is a multi-billion dollar industry based on sex and money. Few men can keep their two heads separate and often begin to fantasies about the power to control an employee whether dating or married. This always ends is disaster - ALWAYS! Yet as long as there are women needing money and work with managers who are power crazed - feeling that rules don't apply to them - then yes - it will always happen.

Cesar managers will never understand someone saying, ?I would work for a company for less money if only the company had nothing to do with my past employer?. Their response is: Isolated!!?!! From me!!?!! I created them and made them who they are today, how dare they turn their back on me after all I did for them.

A BFF Based Company

Companies that are managed by the buddy boss (BFF-Boss) are just as dangerous. These hire the people that are either only like them in personality or are close friends. The employee’s are hired only because of their relationship to the boss or manager whether they can do the job or not. We all know what happens when you photocopy a print too many times, it becomes blurry and ruined. How can you develop any new ideas when you only have those with one like mind?

Buddy managers (BFF-Boss) will never understand someone saying, “I would work for a company for less money if only the company would not treat me like an outsider and make me feel like I was not involved personally”. Their response would be: “Outsider!!?!!” Good I wanted to hire my drinking buddy anyways so saves me from firing that gloomy person from my team.

A Reverse Pyramid Based Company

Here you are working for a company that realizes that sales are increased only by creatively promoting the strengths within the organization in a manner that webmasters/clients can understand. The employee’s that usually are the base of any organization where the management is at the top suddenly find themselves as the most valuable part of the organization. The pyramid is reversed. Face it a manager is to only manage employee’s – they are the driving force of the company. A true manager serves not dictates the employee's.

If you ask me which part of a pyramid I would rather depend on for possible success the thick side with more people or the thin side – I would choose the thick. Yet some companies would rather not rely on their employee’s feeling they are either too dumb (which surprises me since you hired them), or simply don’t trust them (which still surprises me since you hired them) or finally that they are only a number and don’t really have any significance in the overall decisions of a company. That means they weren’t important to begin with which still surprises me even more since, YOU HIRED THEM!! So start hiring qualified employee’s that can benefit the company rather than hiring someone who is now ‘fire-able’ at any time.

Here a company is now focused on their strengths as a whole rather than who’s in charge. Your not into price wars that focus’s the webmasters attention only on getting the best PPS or gift prizes, instead you are focused on services provided that leave the impression, “why wouldn’t I sign up with these guys?”.

Each employee is a valued member of the team and is seen as Buckminster Fuller once said “there is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.”

Creative managers will understand someone saying, “I would work for a company for less money if only to give me the chance to expand a part of myself that at this time I am unable to do here because that’s someone else’s job”. Their response is: “Awesome, best wishes and if you need a letter of recommendation you have it.”

These managers train people to be future managers down the road. Whether they end up at their current job or somewhere else who knows. They work on improving their employee’s by giving them self-confidence, recognition for their work along with taking time to listen and teach them. A good manager doesn’t have to know everything about their job – only hire those who do. If an employee surpasses you then that is the greatest achievement you can hope for. The good manager sets targets and date sensitive goals then trusts their team to reach them. If missed then a stern warning is made, but the employee’s future is in THEIR hands to succeed or fail NOT the managers. Should they get fired then an employee will know that they have no one else to blame but themselves.

Yet they likely will stay with the company providing beneficial advice and creative solutions to increase sales and the company’s profile. Webmasters will appreciate their wisdom and assistance which in turn means referrals. Your company is not dying from within.

Arthur Koestler once said creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual. A “Manager” is only a title that someone else at the time gave you hoping you would display these characteristics – or you added to yourself hoping it would give you power since you didn’t like being called sales. Yet having that title doesn’t mean you are qualified, but if you follow some advice and wisdom from others – learn to listen and thank those who have helped you along then you may earn that big fancy title you possess.

Company management wishing to raise their bottom line as they watch sales drop need to then start rethinking that maybe it’s not your employee’s effectiveness but yourself. In failure everyone points fingers to those lower in the company food chain. In success the finger turns around to themselves. I wish sometimes that was reversed. A change of attitude is what is needed if your company is failing and no creative ideas are left. Rid yourself now of accountant run, micro-managing, self-absorbed management teams and start rebuilding from the top down.

Now you will have valued employee’s who care a great deal more about your company and make extra effort that is not forced to work harder for the success. They will have inner fire and energy when speaking of you and your company – infectious and boisterous that it self is infection to others, especially webmasters.

Good luck.

20. What is your relationship with Interclimax?

Oh man, does that goes back to when they first started about 12 years ago. The owner at that time was Claudia who use to work as models for Python. Well she had left Python to start their own venture around the same time I did. Claudia had met me in Vegas at the Monte Carlo and handed me a CD of what she wanted to do and asked for advice in how to get her company started. We had a long talk and over the months as I was establishing my network offered advice in how to get the company moving ahead. We briefly kept in contact over the years.

A year or so ago when I was at Florida Internext I met Claudia?s husband in their Cabana. We chatted for a while and I had mentioned that I wanted to have a cigar and relax after a long show. He was very kind and had the entire place corded off and guards posted at the entrance just so I could have a cigar. He even asked permission if he could stay there to finish his work on his laptop. I was deeply moved by his gesture and enjoyed my cigar to the fullest as we laughed about old times. I have always been proud and honored to know the good people of Interclimax and wish them the very best.

21. Has any past employers written you out a check for $10k as a "parting gift"?

Question sounds like someone paid me to leave their company – but actually it was Python. After it was announced I was leaving I had finished a presentation on a 5 years business plan as to how I felt the company should progress for the future. The owner afterwards I felt seemed so impressed that when I was leaving I was handed an envelop with a check in it for 10k$ (that cleared).

I don’t recommend this for every company but the principle was there, that you showed appreciation to your employee’s – giving them respect and self value – in return they will have an inner drive to help the company succeed whether it is a Christmas bonus or birthday gift to a call thanking them for their work. People do what they love to do – make the work environment something they regret and you have droids working rather than an extended team willing to put in extra hours for the success of the organization.

22. What is our connection with Tiffany Preston?

?Our? connection with Tiffany? Not sure about you kimosabi but my connection started a year ago when Bob Rice hit me up asking if I would have the time to assist a new girl in the industry who?s trying to make her mark. That was all I needed to hear so I contacted her and got a rundown as to what she has accomplished to date and what targets she wanted to reach. Many teased her because of her attempts to translate English to French, then French back to English just to have a conversation. Others felt she was fake ? either way ? she was ?family? and you have to help.

What impressed me greatly was not just her background but her desire to take the advice given and be willing to try it out rather than have an opinion and bias. By the second month she had surpassed her sales and traffic targets and was well on her way to rising above other solo girl sites ? especially in the fetish market which generally is smaller in size.

Today still there are some who make fun of her not realizing how difficult it is going between languages, but she does have a strong desire for fetish and a powerful work ethic. Those are qualities I do find admirable and worthwhile spending my time to assist. I was so proud of both of them when their business had grown to the point of being able to attend shows such as Internext and to start becoming a strong female webmaster in a mostly male owned and dominated industry.

She really is a gem, but is growing stronger every month - webmasters interested in the fetish market and happy to see this new star who is beautiful and kinky as well

23. How many shows do you go to a year, and which shows do you plan on going this year?

That is such a difficult question to ask simply because there are a lot of quality shows that produce many great leads. I have enjoyed Qwebec Expo, Internext Florida (currently the stronger of the two Internext shows), Cybernet, Phoenix Forum, Webmaster Access to name a few. Yet trade shows are the life force behind any sales for a company. Not showing up leaves an impression that your company is not moving forward and that makes webmasters nervous. I know it’s smoke and mirrors but belly to belly networking at one show does more for the bottom line than a year on ICQ or Skype. If your looking for a job you need to ask what shows your required to be at – if they say none (which is unlikely) – then don’t accept their offer. No company succeeds in this industry without been seen.

This year I am in a transitional phase with SexDateCash.com and currently we are bringing on one of the industries top lawyers Eric Bernstein to make sure we are compliant with everything. If that all goes well then maybe I can start going to trade shows sooner but right now there are a lot of programs and new ideas that need to be implemented in order to help webmasters make money from a dating site without having fake profiles or unwanted software. In addition to all that we need to hire seasoned persons along with re-organizing and initiating some creative ideas as a team we have come up with. So our plate is full but we want to make sure the house is in order before invited guests along.

My hope is that I will be at Florida Internext and then the following year I will be more active again in speaking at seminars (my passion) and exploring more trade shows including overseas including the major ones as mentioned above. Maybe this time I can hopefully and finally hang with Dwreck from webcamcash.com – each trade show it is like two ships passing in the night. Yet men like him and others are family to me and going to trade shows is more than just doing business, it’s a family reunion.

Maybe this time I can take the corporate jet instead of the helicopter

24 Who is this girl? Did you ever photograph her? Why not?

This is Lauren ? a truly beautiful girl and daughter of one of the webmasters I was helping out. They had brought her to Internext for her first time. I did not photograph her and the reason is very simple ? trust - and also I am married. SheDevil would take the picture instead

jk

Honestly - I am paranoid about being caught in a situation that would bring negative comments or rumors towards me when I am representing a company. You will never find in all the 12 years a girl saying I treated her with disrespect or attempted to make out with her etc. at a show. Simply is not my nature. I avoid being in any situation alone with a girl whether it's in a room etc. so that no opportunity for misunderstanding would arise. Unless we were long time friends it simply isn't going to happen. Not too mention I have spent too long developing a strong reputation of trust among webmasters and company's that if something did happen - my "word" and "name" would be questioned in the future and I have worked to hard for to say with meaning, "my word is my bond" and not be doubted.

Even if she asked by her, I had the parents trust not to do anything and I wouldn?t. I am not going to manipulate a girl into a photo shoot or anything else. Now I know at times that I stick out like a sore thumb at shows when it comes to this ? but I am there for business, not pleasure and certainly not to take advantage of girls

Funny thing about this trade show in Florida that is a true story; a guy apparently hit up Lauren with a fake Hustler business card near the pool saying he wanted to take naked pictures of her up in his room. She came to me afterwards and asked if it was real saying, ?he has on a Hustler t-shirt!!?

I smiled saying I have 3 of those at home myself and going into the showroom floor and grabbing a handful of business cards doesn?t make you a Hustler photographer. There are rules and regulations on how they shoot content or any professional shoot. Thankfully I was there to stop her from making a terrible mistake and allowing some webmaster kid from taking advantage of a girl who was naive.

25. Why are you called "The Legacy"?

It is a term used when discussing wills, ?I am leaving a legacy to my family? ? or something of value that can be used after your gone.

Now this is very personal to me and I do not discuss this to anyone but here it goes. When I was in high school entering seminar I had a vicious sarcasm that could rip anyone to shreds within moments. I was fast ? say anything to me and I would have a come back that would leave you the center of everyone?s laughter. It had gotten to the point that it was second nature and I didn't care of the fallout or who it hurt.

One time I use to have this ongoing banter with a girl named Ann (saving the last name) during a lunch break. We did this often much to the delight of the school. I had thought nothing of it until on day after lunch at 1pm when I went to class early to get a good seat.

I entered the class room hoping to get my thoughts together without any interruptions, but I was not alone ? there was Ann sitting at the back row crying her eyes out. I came up to her and asked what had happened and after a while she confided that it was my words that hurt her deeply and that they do every time. Now most people wouldn?t have given a shit, but for me I realized at that moment that my words could either raise someone?s spirits ? encouraging them, or I could rip them apart to tears and leave them a train wreck. I began thinking just how many people in the past I had actually hurt inadvertently with my flair for abusive language.

I think asked myself - what kind of legacy was I leaving people? Here I was promoting that I was a good person and caring, yet all the time I exuded painful remarks and was intimidating to be around as people feared what I may say to them. I had chosen at that moment that anytime I meet someone I would prefer to leave them a better person ? happier, wiser and encouraged. This was going to be my "legacy" as now so many have done for me in helping me throughout the years in this industry.

Lately I figure that I have another 40 or so good years in me to live life to the fullest. Do I really want those years to be filled fighting people, treating them like crap and stepping over them just so I could rape another dollar from them being a bromaster? When I?m 95 dying in a hospital room do I want to be surrounded by 65k$ or 65 close friends?

If I do not develop Alzheimer by then, I will know I lived a peaceful - successful life measured not by the wealth in ones bank account but by the wealth of friends and those you helped along the way.

With my recent daughter now 1 year old and a beautiful wife who most including myself would consider very successful in the industry - I may have given up opportunities and riches untold - but at what price? I know men who have worked so hard that their marriage has ended in divorce and children are growing up not really knowing their dad because he is working too hard. They are externally rich but alone in their wealth. My family gives me strength and motivation to continue, but I also need them for my peace of mind to work - not longer - but smarter.

26. How many people are your ICQ list?

Over a 1000 for sure including Skype, AIM and MSN ? but it?s not the quantity but the quality of people on my list. You should also see my business card folder ? just about anyone and everyone from 12 years in the industry.

I honestly go through it as much as I can then removing names from long ago ? people who added me just to say hi and nothing else. Then there are those who have left the industry - which as anyone knows when a rep comes in they have a shelf life of 3 months to a year.

If they are really good then they can be around for 5 years unless their family etc gets in the way then they take a job in the mainstream world. Quite honestly there are very few left over 10 years - so yes - it's an ongoing process of updating my system. Generally I keep most of them since I do consider those within the industry family.

This was honestly a boring question so I am including a pic of my wife kissing Christine Young in Florida to brighten the day.

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.

In all seriousness now. Working with Robert has been wonderful. He is very talented and all of us together working as a team will bring SDC to a new level and he's obviously a huge part of that.

Glad to have you here!

PS. CUTE BABY! I had never seen photos before. (Good Genes)

28. If you weren't married, who in the industry (besides Uncle Sleazy) would you want to sleep with?

First off – Uncle Sleazy knows being married won’t stop our love – oh Scott – why can’t I quit you?

Secondly – I was just told by my wife that she requested that you ask this question, so there is a strong chance that either this is going to turn into a 3some or I will be staying in a hotel room by the end of this Ambush. Talk about risk taking, so lets see how well I know her.

Sadly the pornstars / models I have met most of them over the 12 years and honestly find that attitude and their personality turn me off the most – no matter what they look like. That is why I have a difficult time looking at porn these days because the girl I usually know and either don’t like personally therefore cant get excited or I simply don’t want to meet her for fear of ruining that dream. Though there are a few where inner beauty matches the outer – women such as Martina Warren – Sunny Leone – Christine Young (when she was doing porn) – Lanni – Ariel Rebel to name but a few.

But lets get to the real question – who would I sleep with. Fine – here are the answers and I have never made this known in all the years I’ve been in the industry. Since you never said which sex, I will include both.

Men – DonMike

Women – Cheyenne Silver

Why her? Well I met her a long time ago and we had a moment – a long one. She was signing autographs but when we started talking we simply clicked personality wise. She took me over to the couch after asking me to hang around for a few minutes after signing autographs and we sat and chatted for what seemed an hour and felt as though we were old friends catching up on life. It just felt like two old friends had met after a long time. I generally fall for penetrating eyes and calm - caring spirit and she had all of it. Okay, will add more later - need to find wife now!

Oh ya – and here are some pictures of DonMike and I – plus I found him manhandling my wife. Yup, he’s gay alright.. no question about it. That’s why his head is shaved btw – I just realized maybe I like him is because his Mohawk hair reminds me of a shaven clit from the top.

29. At the Playboy Mansion you found yourself surrounded by a large group of models. What were you showing off that got their attention?

Mark from 2Much actually brought this to my attention afterwards that when he viewed this strange occurrence he noticed that I had my wallet out and showing baby and family photos. Here I was surrounded by beautiful half-naked women and all I could think about was my family and my daughter sitting at home that I missed greatly. I can only guess that the models were impressed that I wasn?t hitting on them and actually avoiding any kind of chance of appearing I was hitting on them.

I am sure few will realize that when out at conventions you will never find me alone with a girl ? not in a room or anything. There is never a time that I will put myself in a position where a girl could misunderstand my intentions or start a rumor that I tried something on her. When at a convention I am there to represent the company I am working for ? NOT myself. If I get drunk or act in a rude way towards women then you?ll find webmasters and other company having second thoughts of working with me. Never will I allow myself to get into a situation that could be taken the wrong way by a woman that would make her feel uncomfortable with me. In fact there are several times at shows where I have had to rescue women from drunken webmasters (even potential clients) who are almost raping them or harassing them.

Not sure about you kimosabi but my connection started a year ago when Bob Rice hit me up asking if I would have the time to assist a new girl in the industry who?s trying to make her mark. That was all I needed to hear so I contacted her and got a rundown as to what she has accomplished to date and what targets she wanted to reach. Many teased her because of her attempts to translate English to French, then French back to English just to have a conversation. Others felt she was fake ? either way ? she was ?family? and you have to help.

What impressed me greatly was not just her background but her desire to take the advice given and be willing to try it out rather than have an opinion and bias. By the second month she had surpassed her sales and traffic targets and was well on her way to rising above other solo girl sites ? especially in the fetish market which generally is smaller in size.

Today still there are some who make fun of her not realizing how difficult it is going between languages, but she does have a strong desire for fetish and a powerful work ethic. Those are qualities I do find admirable and worthwhile spending my time to assist. I was so proud of both of them when their business had grown to the point of being able to attend shows such as Internext and to start becoming a strong female webmaster in a mostly male owned and dominated industry.

She really is a gem, but is growing stronger every month - webmasters interested in the fetish market and happy to see this new star who is beautiful and kinky as well

I very appreciate what you did for me

I will always be very grateful to you.
You are a friend who everyone deserve to have in their life.

30. If you could work for any one company in the adult industry, who would you want to work for?

I am sure there are a few company owners staring at this question not just for curiosity but to see if they had a chance after I said all those comments about running a company properly. The majority of adult companies already have the sense to know what is required to make it in this industry vs. the mainstream. That the rules simply don’t apply though many attempt to cross over thinking, “I succeeded in one world I can do it in this, after all – its only porn!”

Companies are faceless names and have never impressed me rather instead it is the people you work with at those companies. We all know with the right organization, ideas and people in place ANY company can rise to the top of the adult food chain. Put me into Playboy and without the right co-workers I would become frustrated as hell wishing I was anywhere else but there.

The only person I can truly think of that I would want to work with/for would be Bob Rice. I think as a team we would not only blanket this industry in networking but also have swallowed up most of the spotlight. People like Bob and I are merely “doors” that attract webmasters/clients to your company. No matter who you hire – if they company isn’t set up right and who’s content or program sucks – no amount of begging and friendship will push a webmaster/client to work with you.

So being together we would either have to start our own company or certainly join up with a company that knows the adult industry as being totally separate from the mainstream world in style and organization.

I don’t think I am exclusive in that feeling – many would give their right ball to work for him and by appearance – many already have.

It had gotten to the point that it was second nature and I didn't care of the fallout or who it hurt.

One time I use to have this ongoing banter with a girl named Ann (saving the last name) during a lunch break. We did this often much to the delight of the school. I had thought nothing of it until on day after lunch at 1pm when I went to class early to get a good seat.

I entered the class room hoping to get my thoughts together without any interruptions, but I was not alone ? there was Ann sitting at the back row crying her eyes out. I came up to her and asked what had happened and after a while she confided that it was my words that hurt her deeply and that they do every time. Now most people wouldn?t have given a shit, but for me I realized at that moment that my words could either raise someone?s spirits ? encouraging them, or I could rip them apart to tears and leave them a train wreck. I began thinking just how many people in the past I had actually hurt inadvertently with my flair for abusive language.

I think asked myself - what kind of legacy was I leaving people? Here I was promoting that I was a good person and caring, yet all the time I exuded painful remarks and was intimidating to be around as people feared what I may say to them. I had chosen at that moment that anytime I meet someone I would prefer to leave them a better person ? happier, wiser and encouraged. This was going to be my "legacy" as now so many have done for me in helping me throughout the years in this industry.

I've always sensed you were holding back a sardonic tongue. This is one of the most genuine responses I've ever seen and it actually made me think about myself and how I talk to others. Dick.

Yes ? when we were first dating everyone in her family was opposed to us because they knew I was in the adult industry and felt I was going to talk SheDevil into becoming a pornstar and that I didn?t care about her. Yet her grandmother was the only one who invited me into her home to meet and talk to me as a human being not caring if I was in the industry or not. She refused to get caught up in the drama that the families were creating saying, ?I will make my own judgment on him by meeting him not by hearsay? From that meeting she was greatly impressed as she told me and continued to invite me down much to the horror and anger of her children. A few years past and that is all a faded memory now ? everyone in the family gets along well together. SheDevil?s mom and I are best friends and speak often on the computer along with her step dad. I was never ashamed of what I do for a living, and although I don?t mention it around them ? especially their children ? we can all enjoy our time together as family. Yet for her grandmother ? I hold a special place for her. When everyone else turned their back on me in the family because I worked in porn and I was older than SheDevil ? she truly acted as a Christian should and accepted me without judgment, as family first. I feel humbled and blessed to have met someone such as her. __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com

TheLegacy I'm Bi-sexy Industry Role: Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Brantford, Ontario Posts: 14,476	19. What does the term "we suck, the competition doesn't" mean? Wow I haven?t heard that in such a long time but it goes back to the first days of Python when we sat around the table trying to find a catch phrase. It was a wonderful time when no one?s answer was wrong ? but we just laughed and joked as mates until it popped out ? ?hey we suck, the competition doesn?t?. David and the others on the team loved it and soon we had it on all our advertising ? it was then that I knew my humor and personality did suit this industry. The best way to have a creative idea is to have lots of ideas. So how does a company do this? CREATIVITY AND THE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS Sadly there are still a few companies around that are not set up to assist in the creative process for success. The adult industry is one of the few that do not have any strong advertising agency that someone can go to in order to develop ideas for banners, trade shows or promoting their program. Instead they wait and watch other industry company?s in what they do, then when someone moves ? others attempt to mimic their success (if any). Why is that? It truly is the way we organize the corporate structure and work environment. Look at the largest companies out there and see how each owner treats and encourages their employee?s. Here?s a small breakdown of examples of the failures that can occur that will slowly disintegrate your company. An Accountant Based Company Account Department running the company generally means that no one can budge unless approved by the accountant. This always ends in disaster since creative ideas are immediately squashed as costing too much and the standard foundations of marketing and advertising such as banner ad?s or trade show appearances ? redeveloping your website etc. are limited because of cost factors. It is possible to accomplish these goals cost effectively, but in general accountants like to think they understand all jobs and the industry, then take steps to hinder any positive development. When it fails then blame the management for not being creative with no money. Accountants know how to manage money and are vital in keeping the rest of us in check, but they are not managers nor are they knowledgeable on sales or marketing. They can brag all they want but in the end ? they manage money and their desire to save money usually means, ?I can do that job for less so why do we have to hire a professional?? They generally have no respect for employees or their talents; instead they tend to view each person as red. If they are not in sales, then they are expendable. Those in sales are only there until they have a bad month. This attitude then filters down to the employees who at first may work hard but eventually either they become ill from worrying about their job or simply give up and wait to be fired or start looking for another job. Accountants will never understand someone saying, ?I would work for a company for less money if only the company had a corporate management that is friendly?. Their response is: Feelings!!?!! Good I was about to fire them anyways, now I can save more with their salary gone. Here accountants rarely understand just how much the company needed that persons input until it is too late. A Micro-Managed Based Company Then there are companies that are driven by over achieving managers who micro-manage everything because either they simply don?t trust the people they hired or feel they could always do a better job. They are just as dangerous ? wanting to give power to others but never being able too since they honestly feel no one can do the job better than they can. Always looking over your shoulder, always correcting and being negative ? creative ideas are lost in this company because anything said will always be stomped on as silly or stolen and given credit elsewhere. Micro-managers will never understand someone saying, ?I would work for a company for less money if only the company had a corporate management that is supportive?. Their response is: Supportive!!?!! Let them go, they couldn?t do their job effectively anyways. A Self Absorbed, Sexually Based Company Companies that are driven by self centered management where they have to be the center of attention also feel that anyone being hired should not in any way steal the spot light or not worship them in their achievements. Here you have a boss who may be kind, and open to new ideas ? but they either steal them for themselves, boasting to others how awesome they truly are or they use their power to satisfy their own desires. In this case your either ignored or hit on to sleep with the boss, and in a worst case scenario you need to cover up their indiscretions and keep your opinions to yourself. Creativity once again is shot because if you speak up or show yourself stronger than your boss ? they feel threatened or you may be forced into a situation to sleep with them. Are there really companies where the boss/owner would force an employee to sleep with them or they are fired? Sadly yes and I have seen it too many times over the years. This is a multi-billion dollar industry based on sex and money. Few men can keep their two heads separate and often begin to fantasies about the power to control an employee whether dating or married. This always ends is disaster - ALWAYS! Yet as long as there are women needing money and work with managers who are power crazed - feeling that rules don't apply to them - then yes - it will always happen. Cesar managers will never understand someone saying, ?I would work for a company for less money if only the company had nothing to do with my past employer?. Their response is: Isolated!!?!! From me!!?!! I created them and made them who they are today, how dare they turn their back on me after all I did for them. __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com

TheLegacy I'm Bi-sexy Industry Role: Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Brantford, Ontario Posts: 14,476	A BFF Based Company Companies that are managed by the buddy boss (BFF-Boss) are just as dangerous. These hire the people that are either only like them in personality or are close friends. The employee’s are hired only because of their relationship to the boss or manager whether they can do the job or not. We all know what happens when you photocopy a print too many times, it becomes blurry and ruined. How can you develop any new ideas when you only have those with one like mind? Buddy managers (BFF-Boss) will never understand someone saying, “I would work for a company for less money if only the company would not treat me like an outsider and make me feel like I was not involved personally”. Their response would be: “Outsider!!?!!” Good I wanted to hire my drinking buddy anyways so saves me from firing that gloomy person from my team. A Reverse Pyramid Based Company Here you are working for a company that realizes that sales are increased only by creatively promoting the strengths within the organization in a manner that webmasters/clients can understand. The employee’s that usually are the base of any organization where the management is at the top suddenly find themselves as the most valuable part of the organization. The pyramid is reversed. Face it a manager is to only manage employee’s – they are the driving force of the company. A true manager serves not dictates the employee's. If you ask me which part of a pyramid I would rather depend on for possible success the thick side with more people or the thin side – I would choose the thick. Yet some companies would rather not rely on their employee’s feeling they are either too dumb (which surprises me since you hired them), or simply don’t trust them (which still surprises me since you hired them) or finally that they are only a number and don’t really have any significance in the overall decisions of a company. That means they weren’t important to begin with which still surprises me even more since, YOU HIRED THEM!! So start hiring qualified employee’s that can benefit the company rather than hiring someone who is now ‘fire-able’ at any time. Here a company is now focused on their strengths as a whole rather than who’s in charge. Your not into price wars that focus’s the webmasters attention only on getting the best PPS or gift prizes, instead you are focused on services provided that leave the impression, “why wouldn’t I sign up with these guys?”. Each employee is a valued member of the team and is seen as Buckminster Fuller once said “there is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.” Creative managers will understand someone saying, “I would work for a company for less money if only to give me the chance to expand a part of myself that at this time I am unable to do here because that’s someone else’s job”. Their response is: “Awesome, best wishes and if you need a letter of recommendation you have it.” These managers train people to be future managers down the road. Whether they end up at their current job or somewhere else who knows. They work on improving their employee’s by giving them self-confidence, recognition for their work along with taking time to listen and teach them. A good manager doesn’t have to know everything about their job – only hire those who do. If an employee surpasses you then that is the greatest achievement you can hope for. The good manager sets targets and date sensitive goals then trusts their team to reach them. If missed then a stern warning is made, but the employee’s future is in THEIR hands to succeed or fail NOT the managers. Should they get fired then an employee will know that they have no one else to blame but themselves. Yet they likely will stay with the company providing beneficial advice and creative solutions to increase sales and the company’s profile. Webmasters will appreciate their wisdom and assistance which in turn means referrals. Your company is not dying from within. Arthur Koestler once said creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual. A “Manager” is only a title that someone else at the time gave you hoping you would display these characteristics – or you added to yourself hoping it would give you power since you didn’t like being called sales. Yet having that title doesn’t mean you are qualified, but if you follow some advice and wisdom from others – learn to listen and thank those who have helped you along then you may earn that big fancy title you possess. Company management wishing to raise their bottom line as they watch sales drop need to then start rethinking that maybe it’s not your employee’s effectiveness but yourself. In failure everyone points fingers to those lower in the company food chain. In success the finger turns around to themselves. I wish sometimes that was reversed. A change of attitude is what is needed if your company is failing and no creative ideas are left. Rid yourself now of accountant run, micro-managing, self-absorbed management teams and start rebuilding from the top down. Now you will have valued employee’s who care a great deal more about your company and make extra effort that is not forced to work harder for the success. They will have inner fire and energy when speaking of you and your company – infectious and boisterous that it self is infection to others, especially webmasters. Good luck. __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com

Oh man, does that goes back to when they first started about 12 years ago. The owner at that time was Claudia who use to work as models for Python. Well she had left Python to start their own venture around the same time I did. Claudia had met me in Vegas at the Monte Carlo and handed me a CD of what she wanted to do and asked for advice in how to get her company started. We had a long talk and over the months as I was establishing my network offered advice in how to get the company moving ahead. We briefly kept in contact over the years. A year or so ago when I was at Florida Internext I met Claudia?s husband in their Cabana. We chatted for a while and I had mentioned that I wanted to have a cigar and relax after a long show. He was very kind and had the entire place corded off and guards posted at the entrance just so I could have a cigar. He even asked permission if he could stay there to finish his work on his laptop. I was deeply moved by his gesture and enjoyed my cigar to the fullest as we laughed about old times. I have always been proud and honored to know the good people of Interclimax and wish them the very best. __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com

Question sounds like someone paid me to leave their company – but actually it was Python. After it was announced I was leaving I had finished a presentation on a 5 years business plan as to how I felt the company should progress for the future. The owner afterwards I felt seemed so impressed that when I was leaving I was handed an envelop with a check in it for 10k$ (that cleared). I don’t recommend this for every company but the principle was there, that you showed appreciation to your employee’s – giving them respect and self value – in return they will have an inner drive to help the company succeed whether it is a Christmas bonus or birthday gift to a call thanking them for their work. People do what they love to do – make the work environment something they regret and you have droids working rather than an extended team willing to put in extra hours for the success of the organization. __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com

Not sure about you kimosabi but my connection started a year ago when Bob Rice hit me up asking if I would have the time to assist a new girl in the industry who?s trying to make her mark. That was all I needed to hear so I contacted her and got a rundown as to what she has accomplished to date and what targets she wanted to reach. Many teased her because of her attempts to translate English to French, then French back to English just to have a conversation. Others felt she was fake ? either way ? she was ?family? and you have to help. What impressed me greatly was not just her background but her desire to take the advice given and be willing to try it out rather than have an opinion and bias. By the second month she had surpassed her sales and traffic targets and was well on her way to rising above other solo girl sites ? especially in the fetish market which generally is smaller in size. Today still there are some who make fun of her not realizing how difficult it is going between languages, but she does have a strong desire for fetish and a powerful work ethic. Those are qualities I do find admirable and worthwhile spending my time to assist. I was so proud of both of them when their business had grown to the point of being able to attend shows such as Internext and to start becoming a strong female webmaster in a mostly male owned and dominated industry. She really is a gem, but is growing stronger every month - webmasters interested in the fetish market and happy to see this new star who is beautiful and kinky as well __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com

TheLegacy I'm Bi-sexy Industry Role: Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Brantford, Ontario Posts: 14,476	23. How many shows do you go to a year, and which shows do you plan on going this year? That is such a difficult question to ask simply because there are a lot of quality shows that produce many great leads. I have enjoyed Qwebec Expo, Internext Florida (currently the stronger of the two Internext shows), Cybernet, Phoenix Forum, Webmaster Access to name a few. Yet trade shows are the life force behind any sales for a company. Not showing up leaves an impression that your company is not moving forward and that makes webmasters nervous. I know it’s smoke and mirrors but belly to belly networking at one show does more for the bottom line than a year on ICQ or Skype. If your looking for a job you need to ask what shows your required to be at – if they say none (which is unlikely) – then don’t accept their offer. No company succeeds in this industry without been seen. This year I am in a transitional phase with SexDateCash.com and currently we are bringing on one of the industries top lawyers Eric Bernstein to make sure we are compliant with everything. If that all goes well then maybe I can start going to trade shows sooner but right now there are a lot of programs and new ideas that need to be implemented in order to help webmasters make money from a dating site without having fake profiles or unwanted software. In addition to all that we need to hire seasoned persons along with re-organizing and initiating some creative ideas as a team we have come up with. So our plate is full but we want to make sure the house is in order before invited guests along. My hope is that I will be at Florida Internext and then the following year I will be more active again in speaking at seminars (my passion) and exploring more trade shows including overseas including the major ones as mentioned above. Maybe this time I can hopefully and finally hang with Dwreck from webcamcash.com – each trade show it is like two ships passing in the night. Yet men like him and others are family to me and going to trade shows is more than just doing business, it’s a family reunion. Maybe this time I can take the corporate jet instead of the helicopter __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com

TheLegacy I'm Bi-sexy Industry Role: Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Brantford, Ontario Posts: 14,476	24 Who is this girl? Did you ever photograph her? Why not? This is Lauren ? a truly beautiful girl and daughter of one of the webmasters I was helping out. They had brought her to Internext for her first time. I did not photograph her and the reason is very simple ? trust - and also I am married. SheDevil would take the picture instead jk Honestly - I am paranoid about being caught in a situation that would bring negative comments or rumors towards me when I am representing a company. You will never find in all the 12 years a girl saying I treated her with disrespect or attempted to make out with her etc. at a show. Simply is not my nature. I avoid being in any situation alone with a girl whether it's in a room etc. so that no opportunity for misunderstanding would arise. Unless we were long time friends it simply isn't going to happen. Not too mention I have spent too long developing a strong reputation of trust among webmasters and company's that if something did happen - my "word" and "name" would be questioned in the future and I have worked to hard for to say with meaning, "my word is my bond" and not be doubted. Even if she asked by her, I had the parents trust not to do anything and I wouldn?t. I am not going to manipulate a girl into a photo shoot or anything else. Now I know at times that I stick out like a sore thumb at shows when it comes to this ? but I am there for business, not pleasure and certainly not to take advantage of girls Funny thing about this trade show in Florida that is a true story; a guy apparently hit up Lauren with a fake Hustler business card near the pool saying he wanted to take naked pictures of her up in his room. She came to me afterwards and asked if it was real saying, ?he has on a Hustler t-shirt!!? I smiled saying I have 3 of those at home myself and going into the showroom floor and grabbing a handful of business cards doesn?t make you a Hustler photographer. There are rules and regulations on how they shoot content or any professional shoot. Thankfully I was there to stop her from making a terrible mistake and allowing some webmaster kid from taking advantage of a girl who was naive. __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com

TheLegacy I'm Bi-sexy Industry Role: Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Brantford, Ontario Posts: 14,476	25. Why are you called "The Legacy"? It is a term used when discussing wills, ?I am leaving a legacy to my family? ? or something of value that can be used after your gone. Now this is very personal to me and I do not discuss this to anyone but here it goes. When I was in high school entering seminar I had a vicious sarcasm that could rip anyone to shreds within moments. I was fast ? say anything to me and I would have a come back that would leave you the center of everyone?s laughter. It had gotten to the point that it was second nature and I didn't care of the fallout or who it hurt. One time I use to have this ongoing banter with a girl named Ann (saving the last name) during a lunch break. We did this often much to the delight of the school. I had thought nothing of it until on day after lunch at 1pm when I went to class early to get a good seat. I entered the class room hoping to get my thoughts together without any interruptions, but I was not alone ? there was Ann sitting at the back row crying her eyes out. I came up to her and asked what had happened and after a while she confided that it was my words that hurt her deeply and that they do every time. Now most people wouldn?t have given a shit, but for me I realized at that moment that my words could either raise someone?s spirits ? encouraging them, or I could rip them apart to tears and leave them a train wreck. I began thinking just how many people in the past I had actually hurt inadvertently with my flair for abusive language. I think asked myself - what kind of legacy was I leaving people? Here I was promoting that I was a good person and caring, yet all the time I exuded painful remarks and was intimidating to be around as people feared what I may say to them. I had chosen at that moment that anytime I meet someone I would prefer to leave them a better person ? happier, wiser and encouraged. This was going to be my "legacy" as now so many have done for me in helping me throughout the years in this industry. Lately I figure that I have another 40 or so good years in me to live life to the fullest. Do I really want those years to be filled fighting people, treating them like crap and stepping over them just so I could rape another dollar from them being a bromaster? When I?m 95 dying in a hospital room do I want to be surrounded by 65k$ or 65 close friends? If I do not develop Alzheimer by then, I will know I lived a peaceful - successful life measured not by the wealth in ones bank account but by the wealth of friends and those you helped along the way. With my recent daughter now 1 year old and a beautiful wife who most including myself would consider very successful in the industry - I may have given up opportunities and riches untold - but at what price? I know men who have worked so hard that their marriage has ended in divorce and children are growing up not really knowing their dad because he is working too hard. They are externally rich but alone in their wealth. My family gives me strength and motivation to continue, but I also need them for my peace of mind to work - not longer - but smarter. __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com

Over a 1000 for sure including Skype, AIM and MSN ? but it?s not the quantity but the quality of people on my list. You should also see my business card folder ? just about anyone and everyone from 12 years in the industry. I honestly go through it as much as I can then removing names from long ago ? people who added me just to say hi and nothing else. Then there are those who have left the industry - which as anyone knows when a rep comes in they have a shelf life of 3 months to a year. If they are really good then they can be around for 5 years unless their family etc gets in the way then they take a job in the mainstream world. Quite honestly there are very few left over 10 years - so yes - it's an ongoing process of updating my system. Generally I keep most of them since I do consider those within the industry family. This was honestly a boring question so I am including a pic of my wife kissing Christine Young in Florida to brighten the day. __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com

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. __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com

TheLegacy I'm Bi-sexy Industry Role: Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Brantford, Ontario Posts: 14,476	28. If you weren't married, who in the industry (besides Uncle Sleazy) would you want to sleep with? First off – Uncle Sleazy knows being married won’t stop our love – oh Scott – why can’t I quit you? Secondly – I was just told by my wife that she requested that you ask this question, so there is a strong chance that either this is going to turn into a 3some or I will be staying in a hotel room by the end of this Ambush. Talk about risk taking, so lets see how well I know her. Sadly the pornstars / models I have met most of them over the 12 years and honestly find that attitude and their personality turn me off the most – no matter what they look like. That is why I have a difficult time looking at porn these days because the girl I usually know and either don’t like personally therefore cant get excited or I simply don’t want to meet her for fear of ruining that dream. Though there are a few where inner beauty matches the outer – women such as Martina Warren – Sunny Leone – Christine Young (when she was doing porn) – Lanni – Ariel Rebel to name but a few. But lets get to the real question – who would I sleep with. Fine – here are the answers and I have never made this known in all the years I’ve been in the industry. Since you never said which sex, I will include both. Men – DonMike Women – Cheyenne Silver Why her? Well I met her a long time ago and we had a moment – a long one. She was signing autographs but when we started talking we simply clicked personality wise. She took me over to the couch after asking me to hang around for a few minutes after signing autographs and we sat and chatted for what seemed an hour and felt as though we were old friends catching up on life. It just felt like two old friends had met after a long time. I generally fall for penetrating eyes and calm - caring spirit and she had all of it. Okay, will add more later - need to find wife now! Oh ya – and here are some pictures of DonMike and I – plus I found him manhandling my wife. Yup, he’s gay alright.. no question about it. That’s why his head is shaved btw – I just realized maybe I like him is because his Mohawk hair reminds me of a shaven clit from the top. __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com Last edited by TheLegacy; 12-17-2007 at 07:08 AM..

TheLegacy I'm Bi-sexy Industry Role: Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Brantford, Ontario Posts: 14,476	29. At the Playboy Mansion you found yourself surrounded by a large group of models. What were you showing off that got their attention? Mark from 2Much actually brought this to my attention afterwards that when he viewed this strange occurrence he noticed that I had my wallet out and showing baby and family photos. Here I was surrounded by beautiful half-naked women and all I could think about was my family and my daughter sitting at home that I missed greatly. I can only guess that the models were impressed that I wasn?t hitting on them and actually avoiding any kind of chance of appearing I was hitting on them. I am sure few will realize that when out at conventions you will never find me alone with a girl ? not in a room or anything. There is never a time that I will put myself in a position where a girl could misunderstand my intentions or start a rumor that I tried something on her. When at a convention I am there to represent the company I am working for ? NOT myself. If I get drunk or act in a rude way towards women then you?ll find webmasters and other company having second thoughts of working with me. Never will I allow myself to get into a situation that could be taken the wrong way by a woman that would make her feel uncomfortable with me. In fact there are several times at shows where I have had to rescue women from drunken webmasters (even potential clients) who are almost raping them or harassing them. __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com

TheLegacy I'm Bi-sexy Industry Role: Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Brantford, Ontario Posts: 14,476	30. If you could work for any one company in the adult industry, who would you want to work for? I am sure there are a few company owners staring at this question not just for curiosity but to see if they had a chance after I said all those comments about running a company properly. The majority of adult companies already have the sense to know what is required to make it in this industry vs. the mainstream. That the rules simply don’t apply though many attempt to cross over thinking, “I succeeded in one world I can do it in this, after all – its only porn!” Companies are faceless names and have never impressed me rather instead it is the people you work with at those companies. We all know with the right organization, ideas and people in place ANY company can rise to the top of the adult food chain. Put me into Playboy and without the right co-workers I would become frustrated as hell wishing I was anywhere else but there. The only person I can truly think of that I would want to work with/for would be Bob Rice. I think as a team we would not only blanket this industry in networking but also have swallowed up most of the spotlight. People like Bob and I are merely “doors” that attract webmasters/clients to your company. No matter who you hire – if they company isn’t set up right and who’s content or program sucks – no amount of begging and friendship will push a webmaster/client to work with you. So being together we would either have to start our own company or certainly join up with a company that knows the adult industry as being totally separate from the mainstream world in style and organization. I don’t think I am exclusive in that feeling – many would give their right ball to work for him and by appearance – many already have. __________________ Robert "TheLegacy" Warren Skype: robjameswarren RobertWarrenSEO.com
