S3E6 | The Energy Podcast with Bawo and Troy - The Laws of Human Nature Book Deconstruction & PowerUniverse: 50 Cent's Domination of TV.
In this episode the hosts breakdown ZBA's favourite book of all time: The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene. Greene is regarded as a modern day machiavelli by many business strategists, athletes & celebrities across the world. He has written best seller books such as the 48 Laws of Power, 33 Strategies of War, Mastery, the 50th Law with 50 Cent (close 2nd favourite) & The Daily Laws. He is now working on his upcoming book called "The Sublime", deconstructing the unexplainable phenoma of subjects that make us feel small in our existence. (Space, Death, Time, Consciousness) . The hosts also discuss 50 Cent & Courtney Kemp's hit TV Show: Power: 50 Cent(Curtis Jackson) created his TV empire through calculated risk & delaying gratifcation for long term rewards (Earning $17,000 per episode in Season 1 to rising up the ranks as a producer/director of the show). Eventually being able to use his social intelligence to leverage existing business relationships & cultivate new ones. This allowed Courtney & the rest of the executives of the show to give him more ownership; moving from an actor in the show to a key player. With time, he was recognised for the "NAACP Outstanding Director Image Award in a Drama Series". Curtis Jackson cited in past interveiws that if he wanted to make more money he could have easily just continued club appearances as a rapper and earn 6 figures for waving his hand to his fans. But he took a bet on himself to navigate into the unknown. Taking time to learn the rules, regulations & principles of the directing game. 50 Cent also runs hit shows such as "For Life" hosted by ABC. The hosts discuss how The Power Universe (Power Book II-V ) is going to shake the entertainment space for years to come. The exclusivity & benefits of the STARZ platform only streaming the show on its platform vs other online subscription platforms.
