INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
Another day, another doorknob.
We’re not happy until you’re not happy.
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
When we decided to start the Auto Channel TV network, we realized we would need a lot of money for production. So, we approached Cox Cable company and spent about a year showing them all of our plans, our format, our programming. One day, we got a call from Cox that they weren’t really interested in working with us anymore. About 6 weeks later, we got wind that Cox and 2 other companies were getting ready to launch SpeedVision. That was our ideas, our programming, our production and they had completely ripped it off from us. Eventually, we heard rumblings about this thing called the Internet, and that was our saving grace because we eventually found a home on the internet that we couldn’t get on the cable networks.
