Excited for you man. Should be epic. On a side note, MikeCF was saying its better to be successful than be liked. Whether thats true or not, this should hit both. The people who matter (guys who could really benefit from your books/ advice) will like you, and anyone who doesnt wasnt worth it anyway (likely to be a feminist or extreme white knight).
Deadline ABC has approached me...

Thinking about this some more: if they're trying to do an isolated sit-down with you, where they can selectively-edit your words, (suggestive of a hit piece), there's a couple of things you could do to fuck with them.
- Be filmed somewhere public with a fluid background. Coffee shop. Park. Nightclub. Plant some friends to move around in the background. If people are changing position between shots, editing will be far more apparent.
- Have a girl hanging off you. Tell her beforehand to stroke your chest, raise and lower her sunglasses, push her hair back over her ears and back etc. If they try to edit, continuity will be a motherfucker. They'll try to pull in tight on you: that's why you make sure she's touching you affectionately. Those damn hands will make their lives a nightmare.

Now all we need is for BB to write his first best-selling novel and the circle is fucking complete.
Best advice so far has been the Ryan Halliday recommendation. He's Tucker Max's guy, and.Tucker has fared much better than Mystery, Style, and Janka.
Do it, but get some media training. These stories only go two ways, he's a villain preying on women, or a clown that you can't believe.

I work with them sometimes. Hope I'm on that shoot.
Thanks for the feedback RVFers, much appreciated.
If I were to offer advice, I'd say be yourself, but a more subdued version of yourself. Try to keep the language clean, don't be too hyper, just be as professional as possible. They are looking for you to embarrass yourself, but if you remain the consummate professional, it would bode much better for any appearances as anything too extreme is what they will use on any promotional pieces.
I work in an office that has been the victim of "hit pieces" from the media. Generally in our experience, 1/4 of them have been shady asshole reporters trying to get a name for themselves and 3/4 of them have been ok. I don't think they will get too aggressive here considering the timeslot and reach of the program (its not primetime). To bring up the manosphere and ROK would probably get edited out since it will confuse the viewer. You can certainly do it, but anything outside the scope of what they want to report on (likely the "Playboy Lifestyle" and PUA training) will be deleted.

That has nothing to do with what Mike said.

Ah, gotcha. You quoted someone who was talking about Mike's post so that is why the disconnect happened.
I agree, you have to keep your integrity no matter what. No amount of success will help you like yourself more.
I do disagree that everything will magically fall into place. We are surrounded by opportunities. It is up to us to take advantage of those opportunities. Most people are too scared or too focused on bullshit to take advantage of what is around them.
It is sort of like people saying someone got rich because he was lucky. Sure, if they were a lottery winner but most successful people make themselves rich by hard work and perseverance which, in the end, made the opportunities that people think was luck.
Good luck mate.. great opportunity
