20. What is your relationship with Interclimax?
Oh man, does that goes back to when they first started about 12 years ago. The owner at that time was Claudia who use to work as models for Python. Well she had left Python to start their own venture around the same time I did. Claudia had met me in Vegas at the Monte Carlo and handed me a CD of what she wanted to do and asked for advice in how to get her company started. We had a long talk and over the months as I was establishing my network offered advice in how to get the company moving ahead. We briefly kept in contact over the years. A year or so ago when I was at Florida Internext I met Claudia?s husband in their Cabana. We chatted for a while and I had mentioned that I wanted to have a cigar and relax after a long show. He was very kind and had the entire place corded off and guards posted at the entrance just so I could have a cigar. He even asked permission if he could stay there to finish his work on his laptop. I was deeply moved by his gesture and enjoyed my cigar to the fullest as we laughed about old times. I have always been proud and honored to know the good people of Interclimax and wish them the very best. |
21. Has any past employers written you out a check for $10k as a "parting gift"?
Question sounds like someone paid me to leave their company – but actually it was Python. After it was announced I was leaving I had finished a presentation on a 5 years business plan as to how I felt the company should progress for the future. The owner afterwards I felt seemed so impressed that when I was leaving I was handed an envelop with a check in it for 10k$ (that cleared). I don’t recommend this for every company but the principle was there, that you showed appreciation to your employee’s – giving them respect and self value – in return they will have an inner drive to help the company succeed whether it is a Christmas bonus or birthday gift to a call thanking them for their work. People do what they love to do – make the work environment something they regret and you have droids working rather than an extended team willing to put in extra hours for the success of the organization. |
22. What is our connection with Tiffany Preston?
?Our? connection with Tiffany? Not sure about you kimosabi but my connection started a year ago when Bob Rice hit me up asking if I would have the time to assist a new girl in the industry who?s trying to make her mark. That was all I needed to hear so I contacted her and got a rundown as to what she has accomplished to date and what targets she wanted to reach. Many teased her because of her attempts to translate English to French, then French back to English just to have a conversation. Others felt she was fake ? either way ? she was ?family? and you have to help. What impressed me greatly was not just her background but her desire to take the advice given and be willing to try it out rather than have an opinion and bias. By the second month she had surpassed her sales and traffic targets and was well on her way to rising above other solo girl sites ? especially in the fetish market which generally is smaller in size. Today still there are some who make fun of her not realizing how difficult it is going between languages, but she does have a strong desire for fetish and a powerful work ethic. Those are qualities I do find admirable and worthwhile spending my time to assist. I was so proud of both of them when their business had grown to the point of being able to attend shows such as Internext and to start becoming a strong female webmaster in a mostly male owned and dominated industry. She really is a gem, but is growing stronger every month - webmasters interested in the fetish market and happy to see this new star who is beautiful and kinky as well http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...e82078e5db.jpg |

23. How many shows do you go to a year, and which shows do you plan on going this year?
That is such a difficult question to ask simply because there are a lot of quality shows that produce many great leads. I have enjoyed Qwebec Expo, Internext Florida (currently the stronger of the two Internext shows), Cybernet, Phoenix Forum, Webmaster Access to name a few. Yet trade shows are the life force behind any sales for a company. Not showing up leaves an impression that your company is not moving forward and that makes webmasters nervous. I know it’s smoke and mirrors but belly to belly networking at one show does more for the bottom line than a year on ICQ or Skype. If your looking for a job you need to ask what shows your required to be at – if they say none (which is unlikely) – then don’t accept their offer. No company succeeds in this industry without been seen. This year I am in a transitional phase with SexDateCash.com and currently we are bringing on one of the industries top lawyers Eric Bernstein to make sure we are compliant with everything. If that all goes well then maybe I can start going to trade shows sooner but right now there are a lot of programs and new ideas that need to be implemented in order to help webmasters make money from a dating site without having fake profiles or unwanted software. In addition to all that we need to hire seasoned persons along with re-organizing and initiating some creative ideas as a team we have come up with. So our plate is full but we want to make sure the house is in order before invited guests along. My hope is that I will be at Florida Internext and then the following year I will be more active again in speaking at seminars (my passion) and exploring more trade shows including overseas including the major ones as mentioned above. Maybe this time I can hopefully and finally hang with Dwreck from webcamcash.com – each trade show it is like two ships passing in the night. Yet men like him and others are family to me and going to trade shows is more than just doing business, it’s a family reunion. Maybe this time I can take the corporate jet instead of the helicopter http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...49f007cb87.jpg |

24 Who is this girl? Did you ever photograph her? Why not?
http://fubarwebmasters.com/archive/m...tel/z00847.jpg This is Lauren ? a truly beautiful girl and daughter of one of the webmasters I was helping out. They had brought her to Internext for her first time. I did not photograph her and the reason is very simple ? trust - and also I am married. SheDevil would take the picture instead :thumbsup jk Honestly - I am paranoid about being caught in a situation that would bring negative comments or rumors towards me when I am representing a company. You will never find in all the 12 years a girl saying I treated her with disrespect or attempted to make out with her etc. at a show. Simply is not my nature. I avoid being in any situation alone with a girl whether it's in a room etc. so that no opportunity for misunderstanding would arise. Unless we were long time friends it simply isn't going to happen. Not too mention I have spent too long developing a strong reputation of trust among webmasters and company's that if something did happen - my "word" and "name" would be questioned in the future and I have worked to hard for to say with meaning, "my word is my bond" and not be doubted. Even if she asked by her, I had the parents trust not to do anything and I wouldn?t. I am not going to manipulate a girl into a photo shoot or anything else. Now I know at times that I stick out like a sore thumb at shows when it comes to this ? but I am there for business, not pleasure and certainly not to take advantage of girls Funny thing about this trade show in Florida that is a true story; a guy apparently hit up Lauren with a fake Hustler business card near the pool saying he wanted to take naked pictures of her up in his room. She came to me afterwards and asked if it was real saying, ?he has on a Hustler t-shirt!!? I smiled saying I have 3 of those at home myself and going into the showroom floor and grabbing a handful of business cards doesn?t make you a Hustler photographer. There are rules and regulations on how they shoot content or any professional shoot. Thankfully I was there to stop her from making a terrible mistake and allowing some webmaster kid from taking advantage of a girl who was naive. |
this is a very good interview, it's nice to read well thought out and intelligent responses....:thumbsup

25. Why are you called "The Legacy"?
It is a term used when discussing wills, ?I am leaving a legacy to my family? ? or something of value that can be used after your gone. Now this is very personal to me and I do not discuss this to anyone but here it goes. When I was in high school entering seminar I had a vicious sarcasm that could rip anyone to shreds within moments. I was fast ? say anything to me and I would have a come back that would leave you the center of everyone?s laughter. It had gotten to the point that it was second nature and I didn't care of the fallout or who it hurt. One time I use to have this ongoing banter with a girl named Ann (saving the last name) during a lunch break. We did this often much to the delight of the school. I had thought nothing of it until on day after lunch at 1pm when I went to class early to get a good seat. I entered the class room hoping to get my thoughts together without any interruptions, but I was not alone ? there was Ann sitting at the back row crying her eyes out. I came up to her and asked what had happened and after a while she confided that it was my words that hurt her deeply and that they do every time. Now most people wouldn?t have given a shit, but for me I realized at that moment that my words could either raise someone?s spirits ? encouraging them, or I could rip them apart to tears and leave them a train wreck. I began thinking just how many people in the past I had actually hurt inadvertently with my flair for abusive language. I think asked myself - what kind of legacy was I leaving people? Here I was promoting that I was a good person and caring, yet all the time I exuded painful remarks and was intimidating to be around as people feared what I may say to them. I had chosen at that moment that anytime I meet someone I would prefer to leave them a better person ? happier, wiser and encouraged. This was going to be my "legacy" as now so many have done for me in helping me throughout the years in this industry. Lately I figure that I have another 40 or so good years in me to live life to the fullest. Do I really want those years to be filled fighting people, treating them like crap and stepping over them just so I could rape another dollar from them being a bromaster? When I?m 95 dying in a hospital room do I want to be surrounded by 65k$ or 65 close friends? If I do not develop Alzheimer by then, I will know I lived a peaceful - successful life measured not by the wealth in ones bank account but by the wealth of friends and those you helped along the way. With my recent daughter now 1 year old and a beautiful wife who most including myself would consider very successful in the industry - I may have given up opportunities and riches untold - but at what price? I know men who have worked so hard that their marriage has ended in divorce and children are growing up not really knowing their dad because he is working too hard. They are externally rich but alone in their wealth. My family gives me strength and motivation to continue, but I also need them for my peace of mind to work - not longer - but smarter. http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...677570c893.jpg |
26. How many people are your ICQ list?
Over a 1000 for sure including Skype, AIM and MSN ? but it?s not the quantity but the quality of people on my list. You should also see my business card folder ? just about anyone and everyone from 12 years in the industry. I honestly go through it as much as I can then removing names from long ago ? people who added me just to say hi and nothing else. Then there are those who have left the industry - which as anyone knows when a rep comes in they have a shelf life of 3 months to a year. If they are really good then they can be around for 5 years unless their family etc gets in the way then they take a job in the mainstream world. Quite honestly there are very few left over 10 years - so yes - it's an ongoing process of updating my system. Generally I keep most of them since I do consider those within the industry family. This was honestly a boring question so I am including a pic of my wife kissing Christine Young in Florida to brighten the day. http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...7675163a2f.jpg http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...b08f77fec6.jpg |
keep it comin! great interview!

*Tapping Foot* Yes Robert, where are the rest of your replies? :winkwink: The suspense is killing me.

Warren!!!!
I am just getting to know him and can tell that he is a top notch guy. Congrats on your ambush |
27. What do you think of Bob Rice?
http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...296ea82004.jpg At any given conference you will find early one morning sitting alone together Bob Rice and I having a quiet breakfast just to catch up on life. In my life I have never once use this word to describe anyone ? but Bob Rice is my ?mentor?. Years in the industry do not matter by comparison ? we are like minded. His advice and wisdom is given not for selfish reasons, but for my benefit and success. When our daughter was born, he was the first man I called ? he is as close to me as a brother. Men like Bob Rice or Dave Cummings are the epitome of what I aspire to be. Dave although we do not communicate on a daily basis has led a full life and has given so much to this industry in a way that few ever have. I can only hope that as I mature that I could have left a fraction of a legacy as he has. I can only hope before he retires he sends me his little black book with all those hot girls he?s fucking. Someone once said to me that you rarely find a friend that will stay with you for the rest of your life ? thankfully I met Bob during the early years of my adult industry experience and it is his example and leadership that has molded me into the person you see today and keeps me real. http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...78f0efe2d0.jpg |
In all seriousness now. Working with Robert has been wonderful. He is very talented and all of us together working as a team will bring SDC to a new level and he's obviously a huge part of that.
Glad to have you here! :thumbsup PS. CUTE BABY! I had never seen photos before. (Good Genes) |

28. If you weren't married, who in the industry (besides Uncle Sleazy) would you want to sleep with?
First off – Uncle Sleazy knows being married won’t stop our love – oh Scott – why can’t I quit you? Secondly – I was just told by my wife that she requested that you ask this question, so there is a strong chance that either this is going to turn into a 3some or I will be staying in a hotel room by the end of this Ambush. Talk about risk taking, so lets see how well I know her. Sadly the pornstars / models I have met most of them over the 12 years and honestly find that attitude and their personality turn me off the most – no matter what they look like. That is why I have a difficult time looking at porn these days because the girl I usually know and either don’t like personally therefore cant get excited or I simply don’t want to meet her for fear of ruining that dream. Though there are a few where inner beauty matches the outer – women such as Martina Warren – Sunny Leone – Christine Young (when she was doing porn) – Lanni – Ariel Rebel to name but a few. But lets get to the real question – who would I sleep with. Fine – here are the answers and I have never made this known in all the years I’ve been in the industry. Since you never said which sex, I will include both. Men – DonMike http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...42290abb3e.jpg Women – Cheyenne Silver http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...981030c45f.jpg Why her? Well I met her a long time ago and we had a moment – a long one. She was signing autographs but when we started talking we simply clicked personality wise. She took me over to the couch after asking me to hang around for a few minutes after signing autographs and we sat and chatted for what seemed an hour and felt as though we were old friends catching up on life. It just felt like two old friends had met after a long time. I generally fall for penetrating eyes and calm - caring spirit and she had all of it. Okay, will add more later - need to find wife now! Oh ya – and here are some pictures of DonMike and I – plus I found him manhandling my wife. Yup, he’s gay alright.. no question about it. That’s why his head is shaved btw – I just realized maybe I like him is because his Mohawk hair reminds me of a shaven clit from the top. http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...123fa9edb6.jpg http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...42290abb3e.jpg |
29. At the Playboy Mansion you found yourself surrounded by a large group of models. What were you showing off that got their attention?
Mark from 2Much actually brought this to my attention afterwards that when he viewed this strange occurrence he noticed that I had my wallet out and showing baby and family photos. Here I was surrounded by beautiful half-naked women and all I could think about was my family and my daughter sitting at home that I missed greatly. I can only guess that the models were impressed that I wasn?t hitting on them and actually avoiding any kind of chance of appearing I was hitting on them. I am sure few will realize that when out at conventions you will never find me alone with a girl ? not in a room or anything. There is never a time that I will put myself in a position where a girl could misunderstand my intentions or start a rumor that I tried something on her. When at a convention I am there to represent the company I am working for ? NOT myself. If I get drunk or act in a rude way towards women then you?ll find webmasters and other company having second thoughts of working with me. Never will I allow myself to get into a situation that could be taken the wrong way by a woman that would make her feel uncomfortable with me. In fact there are several times at shows where I have had to rescue women from drunken webmasters (even potential clients) who are almost raping them or harassing them. http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...3110b18717.jpg http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...50f3320e66.jpg http://profilepics.adultwhoswho.com/...d514e2e92a.jpg |

30. If you could work for any one company in the adult industry, who would you want to work for?
I am sure there are a few company owners staring at this question not just for curiosity but to see if they had a chance after I said all those comments about running a company properly. The majority of adult companies already have the sense to know what is required to make it in this industry vs. the mainstream. That the rules simply don’t apply though many attempt to cross over thinking, “I succeeded in one world I can do it in this, after all – its only porn!” Companies are faceless names and have never impressed me rather instead it is the people you work with at those companies. We all know with the right organization, ideas and people in place ANY company can rise to the top of the adult food chain. Put me into Playboy and without the right co-workers I would become frustrated as hell wishing I was anywhere else but there. The only person I can truly think of that I would want to work with/for would be Bob Rice. I think as a team we would not only blanket this industry in networking but also have swallowed up most of the spotlight. People like Bob and I are merely “doors” that attract webmasters/clients to your company. No matter who you hire – if they company isn’t set up right and who’s content or program sucks – no amount of begging and friendship will push a webmaster/client to work with you. So being together we would either have to start our own company or certainly join up with a company that knows the adult industry as being totally separate from the mainstream world in style and organization. I don’t think I am exclusive in that feeling – many would give their right ball to work for him and by appearance – many already have. |
a name is a name, and a face shot is fine. But honestly!! it's pointless unless I can fully see the pornstar you're bringing home for me! :thumbsup
