19. Why were you fired from the hardrock hotel in vegas? What celebs did you meet there? Sleep with any?
Ha! Not fired. I did some major promos for Zenith at the "Joint".
Hired Jay Leno (terrific guy-great to work with), Glenn Frey (pain in the ass) and Stevie Nicks (her I woulda slept with-she was sooo easy).
20. What exactly did you do for Zenith when you worked there? Why were you fired?
Again-not fired. Was Director of Promotions. Did alot of B2B & consumer promos. Cross promotions with Discover, some entertainment groups. Did a 42 city Blues Tour with BB King, Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan, Johnny Lang, Keb Mo and Tower of Power. That really rocked.
21. What exactly did you do for Citigroup when you worked there? Why were you fired?
Not Fired. Bagged the Financial Services Marketing (tough to do because my earning potential there was terrific), sold the house and moved to AZ. At Citi I basically controlled the new Diners Club Carte Blanche Premium Charge card portfolio. Responsible for adding benefits to the card (airline, retail partners) and increasing spend.
22. Where did you grow up? discuss in detail how that made you the person you are today?
I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and lived there my entire life (until 3 years ago). The town I lived in til I went to college was very white, catholic, blue collar. No blacks, hispanics, indians, asians, jews or muslims. When I went away to college and experienced the diversity-I realized I could never go back to live in that town. I graduated and moved to the city. Chicago is tremedously diverse.
I guess the bigotry and small mindedness I grew up with molded who I am today. You either conform or you don't. I didn't and I'm glad
23. Take about the mainstream business lifestyle as it compares to your lifestyle now in adult at the office.
Like night and fucking day. I have an entire closet full of business suits (yes skirts) and really cool pumps/shoes. I did throw away the pantyhose.
There is much more creativity and freedom in Adult. I love being able to "dress down" and have the freedom of expression that I have here at TopBucks.
