In Episode 8, Russ Zavitson, Wade Smith, & Harold Shedd sit down with the very talented, Brian Rawlings. You may remember Brian from episodes 1-4.
Brian Rawling's gut has driven more revenue in one year than most companies make in a lifetime. Brian is a one man think tank with over 20 years of experience as an award-winning publisher and as an executive of one of the world's largest entertainment corporations.
Served as VP at Disney for seventeen years, working on some of their biggest projects (Lion King spin-offs, High School Musicals, Hannah Montana, Deep Purple and Bad Company.) Also managed creative for theme park rides, cartoons, TV series, 40 movies, and the occasional ice show. In addition to Disney creative, set up foreign sub-pub deals, business affairs, HR, operations, licensing, biz dev and copyright IP digitization. Participated directly in 22 number one records, three songs of the year, a few Grammys and thirty platinum or gold records (that he can find). Co-ran Leiber and Stoller Music for two years, did deals with Buick for "Stand By Me" and got the ball rolling for a little Broadway show called "Smokey Joe's Cafe". Served on the Grammy Board of Governor. (From IMDB page).
We hope you're enjoying the podcast series.
