They have a thought as to what an agent is or what a lawyer is. Weirdly enough, people might not know what a manager is. I think I need to say what I do, then let them question me about it. There's enough lying going on that you shouldn't try to maintain a big lie at the same time. That's what I do all day.Īre you going to be honest about your job to everyone else in the game? Sometimes it takes a month or a week sometimes you only get one phone call. I can't tell them, "This is the choice you're making." You have to find a way to get them to be as excited about the choice you think is right for them as you are without dictating, arguing, or demanding. The biggest thing I hope to bring is that all those people are still your boss. On each call, you're convincing them what to do and flipping between three very different personality types. You could have an African-American 40-year-old comedian who went to prison on Line 3 and an 11-year-old boy on Line 2, and you're talking to a 65-year-old man on Line 1. From demanding, creative, narcissistic, egomaniacal, indecent people. Every day, I have to balance between around 27 different people, personality types, ages, desires, objectives, and requirements. There's no job more attuned to this than mine. What skills are you going to bring from your career into the game? I assume there's plenty of crossover between being a manager and managing relationships on Survivor.
