With seven #1 rock hits, over ten million albums sold, and a busy touring schedule, Collective Soul is not just a band, but a business that requires drive, grit, and a lot of work to maintain. Ed talks about some very wise early choices that have sustained the band and some of the financial pitfalls that almost took them off course.

Anna David, NYT Best-Selling Author of Party Girl - Ep 5 Mar 12, 2019

Show notes

New York Times best-selling author, Anna David always wanted to be a writer and never worried about how she’d make a living. This may have been because her family had a lot of money… until they didn’t. But she survived… through the ups and downs of family fortunes. Through addiction and recovery. Through horrific publishing nightmares. And, most remarkably, through Jeff Bezos’ wedding. Today — a handful of books and a prolific stint in journalism — Anna has found her way to a lucrative career as an entrepreneur in the arts.
For more on this week’s hilarious guest, visit Anna’s website, get the newly-released audio version of her novel, Party Girl here, or check out the Light Hustler podcast.

Turney Duff was making millions on Wall Street until cocaine addiction brought him to his knees. His book The Buy Side: A Wall Street Trader’s Tale of Spectacular Excess is a funny, horrifying, then hopeful read and a New York Times best-seller (you should buy it here). Paul and the esteemed author share a lot of laughs as they discuss what money meant to Turney as he got rich, got lost, got sober, then got published. This darn funny conversation covers everything Turney's middle school science fair fiasco to insider trading. Also, prostitutes. Find out more about Turney and hear the Galleon rap here.

Dr. Drew offers candid insight into the ups and downs of a career in broadcasting and medicine. From Loveline to Celebrity Rehab, Dr. Drew has been a staple on radio and cable television for over 30 years, but that doesn’t mean he’s rich — he’s got triplets to get through graduate school, after all. But he is definitely conversant on almost any topic you throw at him, including opera, coffee and Ulysses S. Grant. Oh, and doctor stuff. He knows about that too.
Find out more about Dr. Drew on his website. Find Ron Chernow’s biography of Ulysses S. Grant here. One more thing - here’s a link to the espresso machine Dr. Drew will buy himself when he gets the ball into the end zone.
