Scott Friedman Talks To Dan Wall! Nice Job Scott!
I pay tribute to President Jimmy Carter.
Hi!
A quick one for you today:
Scott Friedman just shard his conversation with Live Nation’s Dan Wall.
Dan’s title is EVP of Corporate and Regulatory Affairs.
That means he’s their lawyer.
I think Scott did a nice job.
A few things that stood out to me:
The way that Dan defined “Dynamic Pricing” to just be pricing that is not fixed.
The conversation about incentives was interesting. I often tell you to think about incentives when you are thinking through reaching your audience.
How Scott and Dan talk about the monopoly issue. I did a pretty thorough recap of the topic in May when the DOJ filed suit against Live Nation.
The DOJ files suit against Live Nation...

I’m going to take a second to honor the memory of President Jimmy Carter today.
Why?
Jimmy Carter was the first president I remember.
I grew up in a small town in NE GA in Wilkes County, poor.
Seeing a peanut farmer from GA on TV and knowing he was the president was pretty incredible as a poor kid from Georgia.
More importantly, in 1972 Jimmy Carter signed a reform law that changed the way that education money was distributed in the State of Georgia.
I wasn’t born yet.
But what it did was it took education money and spread it evenly around the state, wealthy or poor, your community received an equal share of education dollars.
I grew up in a house paid for by moonshine money.
I was the first person in my family:
To go to college.
To have electricity my entire life.
To always have indoor plumbing.
Without Jimmy Carter, it is unlikely I would have received the education that I did.
All the opportunities and experiences I have had probably never happened.
So, I honor Jimmy Carter’s memory.
He also helped set in motion the craft beer boom that many of us love so much.
And, when I met him in NYC, I had a chance to tell him about my aunt and how we’d watch him on TV.
I said, “Mr. President, my aunt loves you.”
He took a second and smiled, “You tell your aunt, I love her back.”
Then, he broke out into that Jimmy Carter grin and we laughed.
