But, the last couple of years have really been very instructive for me because like I said I was never properly seduced by Hollywood because even though I lived there for a while I was never looking for a hit. I was never even looking for a show. But I would always do a lot of pilots and sniffed around.
But to answer your question, yeah. I’ve had meetings with every network. They’ve all called and to be polite I’ve talked to them. There are some book deals, sure. There’s speaking. I go around the country a lot and talk to Fortune 500 companies about how work has changed and how we’ve made it the enemy and what that has done to us. Some fairly heavy themes. But I also tell stories about exploding toilets and artificial vaginas and misadventures and animal husbandry and all that.
