Met Brad Grossman this morning (profiled in above New Yorker piece) who up until three weeks ago was Brian Grazer’s cultural attaché, a job concept that he and Grazer apparently popularized in Hollywood. Basically, Brad was responsible for keeping Brian informed of any and everything, from organic chemistry to the outcome of the World Series, as well as arrange for him to meet interesting people on a weekly basis. For this he was paid handsomely and flown around with Brian everywhere on a private jet. Brad struck out on his own and now Brian’s looking for a replacement.

And I thought leaving my perfect job at CV was hard ….
