The only way to build a fan base is to have a lot of material out there for readers to find. You can't manufacture a fan base. You create it, one story at a time.
It is not about whether you are an executive, a studio or a network. If you have a story or an idea you can build a following for it.
Get good live and get a following because that's what people notice.
I think if you have any desire to be a leading man or to really carry some of these stories, there's this relationship that has to be cultivated with an audience. People have to be able to say your name.
I see a lot of athletes that don't really use social media, or they're saying the same stuff. I kind of wanted to change the game.
Everybody on YouTube starts with zero subscribers. You think of everyone you look up to or have watched for years or whatever, they may seem like this is their life now, but it wasn't always that.
I was a nobody when I met with the publisher. Nobody knew who I was. I was doing some speaking for entrepreneurs. I did little groups. I had no following.
