To me this goes back on if Joe is telling the truth about outside deals. If Joe really making millions on SOTC, Love and Hip Hop, and The Pull up like he says then no I probably wouldn't sign that contract. If them numbers ain't real though I definitely would. I guess it comes down to when is enough enough. To compare it to the business world a lot of people start a business to eventually cash out and sell it when they reach a certain number. For me you give me that 5 or 10 million and I can sit back and relax and stop the grind.

Another big factor is how much potential growth do I see outside of the podcast. Like for Rory and Mal especially I would want the deal unless they really believe that they can flip their podcast popularity into other ventures and cake up for real. I personally don't see it but I'm not them.

EDIT: It's like I said in a previous post even before this last podcast, at a certain point you got to look to cash out. Especially with podcasts where we've seen a lot lose popularity quickly and go from the hottest thing out to barely discussed so you strike while the iron is hot. So if I'm Joe at this point it is the time to strike IMO.

Yep, it's like the chick who sold that natural Carol's Daughter company to L'Oreal after she built it up. She caught a bunch of heat/flack from the 'culture' for it. But she needed that 26 mil transaction not just for her but to keep the business going, continue to pay her employees, etc. Ownership ain't important to everybody. A lot of people just want them M's.

And you can't tell me if Joe was on the other side and said let's sign, Rory and Mal wouldn't fall in line. It's just, they really don't have any say so it's kind of like go with the flow type shyt and then stand on it to appear strong and united.

If Joe got a bigger plan in place then kudos, but if it's just the podcast version of releasing Mood Muzik mixtapes then....if I'm Rory, Parks or Mal, I'm slappin' that nikka :yeshrug:

I’m a bit confused about the bonuses/days off part surely that would have been part of the contract when Joe signed?
