No need to be a Billionaire, but that would even be better! Must have connections to all media, and, to have the ability to see and hear marketable ideas and product. And, able to recognize possible marketability for ideas not realized yet. So, with all seriousness aside for a second: Offer: Put me in a room with all my devices and be ready to shop my work and ideas I produce for you: 1. TV: (Music and copy for products for TV ads; TV show theme music; Music and Sounds for TV reality shows, etc.). 2. Film: (Theme songs of many styles; Scores for any style film). 3. Internet: (Creative audio editor for podcasts of pre-recorded interviews; Music video promos for any product for Youtube. 4. New Product Ideas. Thank you for your consideration! Much known work available for review. Others kept secret for now.

Wanted: one million dollar bills, ready to leave the monetary system and come to rest in my bank account over a gradual period of time in return for artistic endeavors engaged in over said period.  if I had a million to spend on such things, this would be one place I'd be looking, specifically because of people like you, mister Daubert.

Hi Johnny:
I admire your dream... and it's probably going to be just that... a dream. For starters, may I suggest Mark Cuban? He would be a "hard sell" but I think he would listen... and if he has no interest, I think he would aim you in the direction of someone who would.
To my way of thinking... you would probably be giving up control and that is never a good thing. If you can find a lender instead of an invester who wants to "call the shots"... that would be a good thing... but the terms and lifespan of the loan would need to be very generous.
With so much competition today... you (and the rest of us) have very long odds but I wish you all the best. Someday, I hope to buy a bestseller written by you, outlining the path you took to find success.
Dave

Whoa there Mac! YOU hardly know me! hahaha...Really though, WOW, thank you for such a compliment. Others more deserving than me, through their constant working the business and doing the real hard work. As in Sub, Mike Caro, and You and many others of course, (you know who you are)! As Mike Appel told Mike Caro about me before I did any work on his songs: "Ok, lets see what this piano tuning hack can do"! I am proud to say I did OK, but it was from Mike Caro's judgment on everything to do with me, and his many teachings toward me before my chance, as in Engineering skills for his studio. But thank you! See Mike Caro First though when getting that million! Songnado I and II: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_music.cfm?bandID=322686

Dave Thank you Dave! Very thoughtful of you to offer that suggestion! If I go to someone like Cuban, he would first say, "If you do this stuff, aren't there others doing the same and more, who are already doing it more than you in all of the business fields"? I would have to say,,,,"well, yes, so shall I show myself out the door"? Ha! My ad is more of tongue in cheek joke, saying what many of us probably have been saying to our spouses or friends at one time or another. ("If someone would only put me in a room and have me produce it all for them, well, things would really happen")! Ha! I can do advertising productions, with ideas too, but that is all usually done by people IN advertising!  But if one should have connections to that field, and he puts me or you or others in a room and says, "Ok, Produce for this market or product:, we would assume we can do it! That is all I am doing with this sort of a silly ad. Just having fun with the notion that we all must have at times: "I can do that"!

It all starts with a dream. What you do with that dream after, determines whether it stays a dream or becomes a reality.
When I joined JPF back in the late '90s, I had no idea what the future had in store for me.
Looking back nearly a decade and a half later, I've been to war and back, written many songs, where some of my songs have been performed by a band opening up for Jon Bon Jovi. I've had a song picked up by Timbaland, a song be part of an album that went GOLD AND PLATINUM in asia, and some songs on some new projects coming out later this year/early next year.
I've been involved with the social media circuit, having produced shows where some of the biggest names of social media have hosted and made guest appearances. I've had friends who have been in the top 10 of Australian Idol, Top 3 of The Voice, and many more adventures ready to be taken.
These past 15 years have had its ups and downs, but man, it's been a really interesting rollercoaster ride to say the least.
And you know what? This adventure has barely just begun. I am doing some other things right now that I cannot talk about yet, but when I can, you'll know it.
It all started with a dream and it started with reaching out to my network and teaming up with people who shared a similar vision as I have.
Dream it and believe it...Then work hard and build it. If it's meant to be, it'll happen.
That's my take.
