Key Takeaways
Engage with investment bankers to gain proprietary market intelligence by pitching them on a potential future business to unlock their knowledge of industry gaps and exit trends.
Adopt 'restaurant owner energy' or a direct 'nagging' approach when meeting celebrities to signal peer status and break the ice through confidence rather than fan-like enthusiasm.
Capitalize on the 'YouTube-to-Live' playbook by licensing digital-first IP for children and producing low-overhead, high-ticket-volume stage tours in mid-sized theaters.
