Ambush Interview #47 kBizzel

200 kBizzle interview

Sorry man. Couldn't resist.

Besides, it's things taken out of context that make GFY so much more interesting.

23. What kind of house (apartment) do you own, rent? Post pics

I live in a nice condo that I rent in North County San Diego right up the street frm the World Famous La Costa Resort-

I just recently found an apt up in LA as well - so I'll be going back and forth more often-

I will be spending a lot of time up there this Summer and Fall.

24. Who do you work for now? How long to you plan to or think you will work for them?

I curently rep several different companies- Like I said, I work for myself in that I consult for many companies and rep several different kinds of products. My main focus right now is with helping Mobbucks.com increase their visibility and helping them attain some decent traffic-

My deal with them is for three mos- I just finished my first month- or promotional month with them. This month we focus on getting quality tarffic, ad buys, and reaching out to webmasters with a hell of a promotion.

This is the month I will be calling lot's of you, and hoping to put you together with one hell of a company- MOBBUCKS.COM.

I look forward to working with many of the old faces I have dealt with for years, as well as some of you newer webmasters out there that have TGP's

Either way, this company deserves to be noticed. They are sharp, witty guys who know how to take care of people as well as they have a great program.

The Mobbucks.com guys are in this for the long haul- and I know they will be a company that will be here for a long time paying webmasters on time very month.

25. Are you a flake?

Hardly- I do what I say I am going to do-
I always keep my appointments and always show up to my meetings at least 15 minutes early.

It was something I was taught at a very young age in the sales game- always be on time or early and always keep your meetings.

I always follow up as well, after meeting with people- it's just the way business is done.

What's the deal with this reality show that you've mentioned a few times?

I have a reality show that is being filmed as we speak-
I cannot get into detail as I have signed confidentiality papers-
However it is NOTHIN like you'd think it would be-
and has very little to do with my online persona

The crew will be filming in LA on July 14th at a restaurant called 310 for our webmaster get together-

Should be fun-
And my role in this is Executive Producer/ Star

26. What did you do before adult for work? How many jobs did you have before adult?

Oh this is such a great question , however there were so many I cannot even count them!

Some of my highlights include however

Being the youngest sales rep in the history of a Men's Clothing Store named Gentry Shops in Ohio

I ran concert venues in Cleveland, Ohio
Peabody's Down UNder in the Flats as well as The Empire Concert club

Back in 88-90

We did shows like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Isley Bros, Tracy Chapman, NIN, Enuff ZNuff- GWAR , Brooks and Dunne
to Mary Anne Faithful and Johnny Winter-
Every night we had a different live show with bands that ran the gamut form Blues- ( John Lee Hooker) to Rock Tommy Cochrane, Robbie Krieger, Eric Burdon, you name them we booked them.

I really enjoyed working with Lloyd Cole, Elvis Costello, Henry Rollins, Trent Reznor, and others
When I went to work for Playhouse Sq I did a "runner" job whee I'd get whatever it was the artists wanted- there I worked with the Smothers Bros- to Nelson
I enjoyed working with Judy Collins and Liza Minelli- great people!


I then went on to being a strip club DJ/ manager working for every strip club in cleveland- I made a lot of cash and had a lot of connections with concerts and such - so I always had a hottie on my arm everywhere I went.

That lifestyle was a rough one for me- as I never saw daylight and considered myself a Vampire who smelled of "sweat soaked dollar bills" some of them smelled like FDS spray as well..yuck!

My brother and I started many successful MLM 's and sold pictures and Dri-Wash and Guard ( a waterless car wash) door to door
I feel to this day that was my formal education to the world of hustling.

Other highlights were working for radio stations WNCX 98.5 in Cleveland
91X in San Diego
as well as 94.1 The Eagle in San Diego.

I worked as an A&R guy fro Trevel Productions in Cleveland as well - i was the token white boy working in the hood for artists like LEVERT, the O'Jays ( Rock and Roll Hall of Famers), Men at Large, and the Rude Boys ( Grammy Award Winners)

I also helped to raise a lot of money to have the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum built in the "Home Of Rock and Roll" Cleveland Ohio

It's true that the phrase " Rock and Roll" was coined in Cleveland in Public Square at a Record Store that my father used to work at called, Record Rendezvous- the owner's name was Leo Mintz and was my best friends grandfather- and he had his dear friend and Cleveland DJ there all the time Alan Freed- It ws he that coined the name, Rock And Roll.

I went on to manage many bands in Cleveland like the "Yielding" and was at the very first show NIN ever played- Trent Reznor ws a good friend back in the day-
Worked with Trent closely
I knew Trent when he was cleaning toilets and we would jam together along with my bass player at the time and best friend, Mackay Gazdak- (RIP)

I managed Reggae Legend, EEK A MOUSE along with my brother D$ in San Diego.



I also worked as a Sales Mgr for Reynolds Metals Company in their Home Construction Products Division

I taught "Tin Men" how to sell siding and vinyl replacemt windows in the home- It was a great paying job with a company car and benefits that were incredible for a 22 yr old kid.

I worked for AT&T selling their CLEC service - or "local loop" I was a special accounts rep and was trained in Princeton , NJ
My office was in San Diego- HATED THAT JOB!

I was a corporate recruiter for a month
HATED THAT

Sold cars for three weeks- selling a car on my first day out of training at FULL STICKER PRICE!!!
made my full draw for the month and-
I quit a week after that- I hated waiting for people to come see me- when I was so used to seeing people!

I think overall, if I had to stick with one thing I used to do, the rest of my life...

It would have to be concert promotion. It has always been my number one love- and I am such a music enthusiast playing guitar and having a musical ear I really should follow that dream more-

I also have enjoyed comedy all of my life- and it's something I am going to be practicing a lot more on-

With half of you morons on this board as my material, I should do alright
:-))

27. As a DJ in a strip club, did you get to fuck any of the strippers?


Interesting question- and maybe even a more interesting answer to come...

That is if anyone is still interested in this thread...

KB has some good answers.

used to?

hahahaha

Ok so I still push your buttons-
I mean well though
and you know this...

I worked alongside of some of the hottest chicks in Cleveland- Most of them came from other clubs on the dance circuit and would travel through and spend weeks in Cleveland and I was the welcome wagon.

I was young , naive, and insecure back then-
I would have mad crushes on women I worked with but could never tell them-

I would instead, Listen to how their boyfriends would treat them like shit or about the crush on the strip club manager they had , all the while my heart would be broken-

I befriended them , they trusted me, and I got a crash course in fucked up chicks-

I learned what they wanted, needed , an most importantly what they didn't like about men-

After doing lap dances for thousands of men, it's no secret most women develop a hatred of guys-

I hung around the biz and treated the girls right-
It wasn't until I got into this business though that I really started to score big!

I did a few strippers back in the day- and a few features that were HUGE porn stars.

I really think overall it all worked out for the best-At that age, stripper drama would have killed me, and made me a nervous wreck-

28. What places have you lived and why? Why LA now?

I do not live in AL as of right now-
As of right now My home base is La Costa, California.

I have lived in Cleveland, Ohio for most of my life

I lived in Columbus, Ohio when I attended the Ohio State University ( GO BUCKEYES!)

I also had moved back there for awhile in business with my brother wholesaling art work in Dublin, Ohio
Home of WENDY'S

I moved to California in 1996- settled in Pacific Beach
Lived there for 4 and half years until I moved up to Diamond Bar, CA working for YNOT and Rick Muenyoung-

After selling YNOT, I moved back to SD
and into a house I shared with King Adam ( my cousin) and my brother, D$ in Del Mar, CA - an affluent area of SD

It was a bit stuffy, and my two roommates fell in love and moved out sticking me with most of the rent!

I also found a new roommate in Bruce ( Ruslan Kramarovsky) AKA MADD RUSSIAN
We had a blast together living there and I miss hi terribly

MADD RUSSIAN REST IN PEACE!

In Adam's case he fell in love and moved in with Nikki Nova- ( who also crashed in my house for a while)
and My bro found the love of his life in Jennifer up in LA

I am about to make another move very soon- and it's looking like The Palisades or somewhere near the beach
up in LA

It's just better to be close to the action- I love SD and never wanted to really go anywhere else but my business, and my mainstream projects are all up there-

I have lived in worse places than LA- I think I'll be able to handle it.

You use Jewish Shctick a lot...Does it work for you?? You seem very close to your heritage....Are you a religous man?

I am trying to get closer to G-d everyday
I love my heritage and yuo cannot deny that Yiddish is a funny language, one that is filled with great sayings like
"Gay cocken affen Yam"
or
"Go take a crap in the ocean"

If I take a crpa in the ocean will I get closer to god or just have a load of surfers beat me up?

I've noticed in the last 2 weeks after reading KB's posts, I say, "Oy Vey" a lot.

That's because your brother is a Meshuganah



and a mensche

Bruce was my favorite redhead!!!

xoxo

You are my FAVORITE RED HEAD!!!

Thanks sweetie...I love being your favorite redheaded shiksa...lol

You are my brother's favorite red head too!

I love AIMEE SWEET AND HER ST PATTY'S DAY CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE!!!

#29?

.....

Whens this over KB?

29. What exactly is KB consultants and what does it do for it's clients?

Ah Glad you asked-

KB Consults / KB is a subcontracted marketing arm for companies desiring more exposure and public awareness. I also implement different marketing strategies that differ with each client.

A lot of newer companies retain my services to act as a "conduit" if you will and I help to make introductions.

I have arranged many meetings and lunches with company owners and major "players" in this business with people who were hardly known-

In some cases- some of my clients in turn have made millions, others have established a "brand".

My duties run the gamut from press release writing, and copyrighting of sites- to cold calling affiliates, arranging and promoting industry parties, and tradeshow networking.

In other words I am a professional " Front Guy"
I often refer myself as the guy from the Popeye cartoon who walks up and down the street all day with a cardboard sign on him that reads "EAT AT JOES".

I am an interesting alternative to any company looking to hire a marketing director or Public Relations firm.

I appear on many television shows, broker mainstream ad spots for press events relating to the adult realm, as well as broker companies looking to sell.

I currently represent a Japanese Venture Capital Company
Who is looking to buy a VOD company- or willing to launch a start -up as a matter of fact. This company is worth over $200 Million- and is looking to acquire many types of companies who have great residual income potential as wel as cashflow-

I am not an employee, I don't take up any additional space in their office, I am not paid benefits, nor am I a liability from an insurance perspective.

I work from my office in Carlsbad, CA and I handle clients from all over the globe. I also pride myself on my availability to my clients - I am always within reach.

Posting on boards is less than 10 of my daily duties believe it or not-

Very soon Datatank so you know what we gots ta do

It's coming folks....

30. Who is Tom Hopkins and why is he significant to you?


Tom Hopkins rates among one of the best motivational speakers on the circuit- he taught me more about how to close a deal than anyone.
I am also a proud graduate of his "School of Selling" in Scottsdale, AZ

He next to Og Mandino, I used to consider the best salesman in America-

My beliefs have now changed however-
Now I feel the greatest salesman in the world
is the guy who sold him his horrible TOUPEE.

31. Talk about your formal education.

My education

My background is simple I graduated from Mayfield High School in 1987 in Mayfield Village, Oh

Attended Cleveland State for a semester when OSU becasme a selective admission college- ( i was an underachiever in High School)

I then attended the Ohio State University in Columbus, OH for three and half years.

Pulled myself out of school cause I loved my sales job so much- I had 50 credit hours left to graduate and just thought a college diploma was bullshit-
All my roommates from school became waiters or worked for their old man when they graduated where I came from-

My dad sold his company- so I had to work
:-))

I have attended more sales seminars and workshops than anyone else I know. All of them were great and I value the knowledge I was able to retain frm them-

I have to also give honorable mention to my brother D$ for teaching me about this biz
as well as Khan from YNOT for tearing my ass up as a young pup.

He whipped me into shape alright-

32. What does the players ball mean to you?

coming right up!

that's very funny!

[QUOTE=kBizzle]32. What does the players ball mean to you?QUOTE]


The Players Ball embodies all that is good with this industry-
It's a celebration of independence, wealth, and good clean fun- Well maybe not so CLEAN.

We have been promoting the Ball since '99 and it's been an incredible vehicle for D$ and I to meet so many great webmasters- not only as sponsors but attendees.

The Players Ball has become an undeniable "brand" and is considered to be one of the hardest tickets to come by-
Next to Hugh Hefner's "Midsummer Night's Dream" party

This wasn't rated by me, but by Channel 11 Fox News in LA.
It's been written up in the Wall Street Journal, featured on VH-1 and MTV- we have attracted a lot of SUPERSTARS to our event- including Mike Tyson, Ashton Kutcher, Tony Hawk, Jose Vizquel, Jeff "skunk" Baxter, Joey Fatone, Howie from the Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, DMC- from RUN -DMC, Matt Stone and Trey Parker from South Park, Twiggy from Marilyn Manson/ NIN/ Perfect Circle
Jenna Jameson of course has been a regular visitor, as well as Stephanie Swift, Tera Patrick, All the Greatest Penthouse Pets and Playboy Playmates
AND THOSE ARE JUST THE ATTENDEES!!!


We have had superstars and legends perform for the Players Ball- My favorites include Slick Rick and Doug E Fresh together at one time- Obviously the SNOOP DOGG and his band of famous Pimps and Players, I have to shout out my boys from
DIGITAL UNDERGROUND as well they have been an honorary staple to this event and without them successfully opening a lot of our shows- I don't know if we'd ever have the same vibe-

Cypress Hill last January with Flava Flav? ONE HELL OF A SHOW-

I also have to giver major props to my man Tracy- "ICE T" for his early support in hosting in Miami and Vegas for us-
He is a true PLAYER and great guy- he is even becoming quite an actor- Love you "T"!

People forget about our very first ball as well that featured Long Beach Dub All Stars ( formerly Sublime) and DJ Supa Mario

That was an incredible experience shared by a lot of us who were new to the game-

If there is one thing I'd have to say the Players ball does better than any other party ( no I wasn't going to say door people) is that it gives people one night out of the year in Vegas to really chill out and discuss some business in some very cozy VIP areas, filled to the brim with "Players" in our business-
When you come to a Players Ball party you see major company owners, letting their down and ripping it up!

People like Sweet T, Ron C and all of CC BIll, FM, David from Python, Bruce and Ken from Hustler, Al Fore ( AL4A)was a VIP for many years and still attends when he comes to shows- everyone from every corner of the globe usually stops by and pays their respects-

I know I speak for D$ when I say thank you to all the webmasters who have supported this party over the years- THE SPONSORS ( MOBBUCKS.COM!!) as well as the ATTENDEES

You have made this an incredible reality for two nice Jewish boys from Cleveland who enjoy booking performances of legendary artists, and having them set the backrop for an evening that consists of great networking, copius amounts of alcohol, and some of the hottest chicks on the planet getting "down" with anyone and everyone.

It's the only party where you can look over your left shoulder and see Warren Moon talking to a famous porn star, then turn to your right, and see Snoop Dogg and Don Magic Juan rapping with Dennis Hof of the Bunnyranch

Look ahead of you and Ron Jeremy is there hamming it up-
G-d bless the Players Ball may it live long, and go MORE MAINSTREAM-

I see an incredible opportunity here to take this party to the next level- and I don't want to give too much away, but movie producers as well as network execs feel there is something there as well-

Keep your fingers crossed for now- and keep supporting the PLAYERS BALL!
