An extension of the above sentiment is our new WME Boot Camp. I am excited to announce that Jackie Warner and co. are on board for twice a week workouts alternating with krav maga. I understand that many of you have “stress management issues” and require daily yoga, pilates and massages in order to beat back the daily tides. I do not want you to learn how to Zen out. I want hungry, aggressive teams that roam L.A. like feral animals, hunting for their next meal. Boot Camp is mandatory for all except those who have already completed the Navy Seal certification offered at Endeavor last year. There will be a final exam and just a heads up but it will require stealth extraction of an A-lister from a rival agent.
….Are you angry/upset/disgusted/disappointed/sad about the changes that have occurred? I don’t care. Note that there is no suggestion box near the executive suite. There is a reason for that. If I’m at lunch, in the men’s room, driving my kids or in the elevator with you, I do not want to hear your thoughts about the merger. Your feelings/ideas/thoughts do not interest me and any attempt to share will be construed as a verbal letter of resignation.
