he did because he wanted to give back.
his Q&A part was less than 15 minutes of the lecture
friends from one school would tell their friends at other schools to ask him questions
like the superman story
and it slowly morphed into nothing but Q&A no lecture at all.
his rates went up the more he stopped teaching from his Hollywood successes and talked about the crazy failures he had.
The running joke he tells is that he makes more money from his failures then he does from what Hollywood pays him for his greatest success.
The maximum portion of his current speaking gigs that you could attribute to his Hollywood success would be 25%. Since most of those stories include lot of behind the scenes self deprecating humor about his experience That would be an insane stretch.
