Who is Reggie Gooden? Well, I am from the East Coast. I'm from Baltimore, Maryland. Go Ravens. Here's the thing. I always had a love from a distance from LA, but I never thought that I would be living in Los Angeles. There I was a music producer. I was a hip-hop artist. But, you know, through working through that process, I also, 'cause it was a collective of guys from the East Coast, I always thought of myself as the producer kind of business person of our whole group. So I took my time and learned about the business even way back then. And for some reason that just stuck with me. I was always interested in the entertainment business and not only music, but music's always been my love. Yeah. So, you know, fast forward decades later, here I am still working in the industry. I really knew that, okay, I might be doing a little something here is the first time that I was included in Variety, Billboard, and Hollywood Reporter magazine. I realized, okay, I am nationally recognized as a leader. in this space, and I don't take that lightly. People think that you wake up one day and you just have this company with these employees and you have all these great clients and you're in these magazines and it's great. Let me tell you, every day you gotta wake up and commit yourself to the mission, right? Thank you for being one of those people in my personal and professional circle that no business manager can be an effective business manager without having a network of people that they trust. Absolutely. Not that people that can get the job done, but people they trust. I've been fortunate enough to meet you and a handful of guys like you that I've been able to connect with, do business with, and hang out with.
