What’s it actually like working with [Billy Corgan] …Is he, “Oh, I’m open to suggestions, whatever you want,” or is he very much, “I’m the boss. This is my way”?

A little bit of both, I think and not in the negative sense that, “I’m the boss and this is the way it’s going to be,” but someone that will hear your thoughts and your opinions, collaborate within them. And then it’s almost as a talent too, picking which battles are worth fighting and which ones are not worth being the hill to die on. Any time we’ve had any conversations regarding business or creative, they’ve always been collaborative and sometimes I can… The thing about really strong, powerful, successful people, is they do have control. So sometimes to get to that and through them, and this is what I tell students and independent prospects at seminars, you almost have to incept your ideas into them, so they think they’re theirs, which I’m getting good at.

But no, at the same time, there’s always conversation and let the best idea win, but if it comes down to it, and this is what the WWE has and this is I think a thing that lacks across the board in other companies is love it or hate it, they have one final voice who decides. Everybody adheres to it or they are gone.

So if it comes down to, at least there’s a direction, at least there’s somebody that has the final say, whereas Billy would be that as well, but I think other companies like everybody collaborates, but then when … You can have a great meal, but if you start just mixing different ingredients that don’t make sense and you cook it up, it tastes like s***, dude.

So I would say he’s a strong leader and he’s very open to collaboration … He loves wrestling. He’s a wrestling fan. He sees it through a wrestling fan’s eyes sometimes and not so much like a wrestler. So a wrestler can say, “Well, I think these would be the circumstances of this based on the fact if I was competing in this situation,” where he might, “Oh yeah, it makes sense. Okay, that’s cool.”
