00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,399
Speaker 1: There is so much going on on erro dot net

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,919
a r r oe dot net. If you like me

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,039
when it comes to podcasts listening, I want a variety,

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,080
so that's why we created this network. Arrow dot net.

5
00:00:11,279 --> 00:00:16,879
We're talking sports, ya, author's spiritual quests, even grocery store nightmares,

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,120
Arrow dot net A r r oe dot net. Enjoy

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,399
your exploration missed Opportunity. I love sharing conversations. Now hosting

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,559
them will require some show prep. My podcasting platforms feature

9
00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:34,560
thousands of incredible guests. What you don't have access to

10
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:38,039
are my missed opportunities. The show prep was completed, the

11
00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:41,880
conversation didn't happen. I keep all of my notes because

12
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,920
I believe that paths will one day cross again. Let

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,240
me explain missed opportunity. It's my questions and statements without

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,920
their answers. I'm leaving open enough space at the end

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,079
of every question, hoping they'll download the talk and insert

16
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:59,600
their answers, then send it back to me. Missed opportunity

17
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:02,320
is a lost piece of history, like a message in

18
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:05,000
a bottle. It's been tossed out to see I hope

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,200
to locate the destination. This week, we're putting focus on

20
00:01:09,239 --> 00:01:14,319
my missed opportunity with the legendary Clive Davis, And if

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,959
you're like most people under the age of thirty, you're

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,799
probably going who Clive Davis. Who. Clive Davis is a

23
00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:26,879
legendary executive and record company founder. He has looked upon

24
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,840
as being one of the most influential figures in modern music,

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,719
changing the path of dozens of major artists. He attended

26
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:37,120
Harvard Law School in nineteen fifty six. From there and

27
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:40,680
before music, he worked as an attorney. This is what

28
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:43,920
laid the groundwork for his shift toward the music industry.

29
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:48,519
Four years after Harvard, Clive Davis joined Columbia Records as

30
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,040
part of their legal department. It was the Monterey Pop

31
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:55,680
Festival in nineteen sixty seven that shifted his desire and

32
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,319
direction to lean more toward rock and pop music. Now.

33
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:03,239
The invitation to share a conversation with the legendary Clive

34
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:08,439
Davis came on September seventeenth, two thy seventeen. Within twenty

35
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:12,000
four hours, I received word that it was actually going

36
00:02:12,039 --> 00:02:15,719
to happen. Three days later, on September twentieth, the connection

37
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,000
with the tour engineer was sent. It was one hundred

38
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:23,520
percent a go. One day before my conversation with Clive Davis,

39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,479
they sent an email wanting to know if the moment

40
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,840
would be live or if it would be recorded. That

41
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:35,400
means it was really gonna happen. Mmm. Within twelve hours

42
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:38,680
I received the email. He has pulled off the schedule.

43
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:42,719
He has promised a make update. Stay tuned. Sorry for

44
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:45,719
this last minute crap. Those were the exact words the

45
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,639
conversation didn't happen. Coming up next, my questions my statements

46
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:58,599
for the legendary Clive Davis. Hey, thanks for coming back

47
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,879
to missed opportunity. This is my missed opportunity with the

48
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,479
legendary Clive Davis. The questions and the statements from September

49
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,439
twenty seventeen. What is a good song inside a world

50
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:18,039
with so much sound? Is it the natural voice, tone

51
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:24,840
or the performance that really lands a voice into our imaginations? Visionary,

52
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
let's talk about that. Can you see culture changing before

53
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:31,639
it escapes the brave artists who have set their music

54
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:38,400
free reputation. You are the heartbeat that shapes the moments

55
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:42,800
of tomorrow, and it happens by you giving things creatively

56
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:48,360
away in a brilliant way. Aren't you the greatest piece

57
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:52,520
of music history. I mean seriously, think about that. Your

58
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,439
heart stands inside open for other artists. You're always ready

59
00:03:57,479 --> 00:04:02,120
to share with those of creative flow. Do you agree

60
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,639
that your image should be the fifth person on Mount Rushmore?

61
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,439
You've always been so humble, Clive, as if to be

62
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,919
perfectly in tune with all things real life. You've lived

63
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,959
this life. To watch it being played back, does it

64
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,120
open your visions to reach even further than where you've been?

65
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:27,759
This documentary is a physical sheet of music that embraces

66
00:04:27,879 --> 00:04:31,600
every genre and sound, and you had something to do

67
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,759
with that. So has Clive Davis ever listened to Clive

68
00:04:35,879 --> 00:04:41,360
Davis singing along? So what's missing from today's music environment?

69
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,519
Are there too many sources to find music? There? You

70
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,600
have it, My questions and statements for the legendary Clive Davis.

71
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:55,560
Missed opportunity is a lost piece of history. You now

72
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,480
know the questions, so let's locate the reactions. The door

73
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,560
is always going to be open. If you are or

74
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,000
