There's a reason when I started my pro radio/record career in Toledo, I ended up at Waldorf-Astoria with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and the rest while I sat at table as invited guest of Zeppelin's John-Paul Jones' manager. It's called because I'm the most amazing, innovative, trailblazing, result-producing, line-towing, staff-transforming, phenomenal, talked-about-for-years-afterward creative force anyone seems to have ever worked with, so they tell me. Just the burden and curse I live with.
# I know it seems easy for you to think I should be able to walk into Staples and get a job at this point. Like I said, I know it seems easy.
#
You can make fun of me/criticize me for not being able to help myself any more, but I can make fun of you for not being a beloved phenomenon.
#
To the arrogant, judgmental, average performers who have something to say about ZD and "we don't know what to do with you." YOU LOSE, TOO!
#
I'm remembering EXACTLY what happens EVERY TIME ZD is hired and paid: From radio to restaurants to magazines to producing HE BLOWS YOU AWAY!
#
Been so stressed out/dysfunctional over sleep deprivation, almost forgot ZD is most uplifting, amazing executive YOU have never worked with.
#
When ZD is paid professional, no one makes sure line is completely 100% towed all the way to the top of the heap, AND DRAGS STAFF WITH ME!
#
TO PEOPLE HOLDING BACK ON HIRING ZD: You have never met me on more than 4-5 hours sleep. When I was paid in office, was trailblazing force.
#
TO PEOPLE HOLDING BACK ON HIRING ZD: When I am hired staff threatens to quit. When I finally leave to move on, staff threatens to quit! (Get it?)
#
TO PEOPLE HOLDING BACK ON HIRING ZD: YOU ARE THE KING WITH EVERYTHING TO LOSE. I am PROVEN genius who DELIVERS 100% UN-duplicable results.
#
TO PEOPLE HOLDING BACK ON HIRING ZD: I already know the phenomenal things that happen when I walk in door. YOUR LOSS! You are the boss!
#
TO PEOPLE HOLDING BACK ON HIRING ZD: Everything I have ever touched turns to innovative, rise-to-the-top, magic. Whatever the focus of task.
#
To people in the city who are holding back on hiring ZD...you make it seem like you're doing ME the favor: YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN/LOSE?
#
Hey LA Times...ask Dawn Girraco about what it was like to work with Zuma Dogg. A once in a lifetime experience with THE-FUCKING-BEST EVER!
#
When I do produce something and put it out there in public, IT WILL CAUSE PEOPLE TO STOP ME ON STREETS AS STRANGERS TO EXPRESS THEIR JOY AND APPRECIATION FOR PRODUCT. (But not for you, cause you're not sure about hiring me.)
#
What do you say about a guy who Deming praised, produced beloved comedy TV phenom, can steal show w/ANY crowd as singer; now political icon?about
#
Sang "Billie Jean" at small but PACKED house at Venice on Sun. My friend said SOMEONE ELSE told him how much crowd LOVED it. Not easy to do.about
#
Thank you to the elected official who said, "I consider you to be a prophet" and the other one who said "you're a genius." But, I'm not worthy of a job!
#
3 years ago, I knew NOTHING about City Hall/didn't know what an agenda was or mayor's name: Now I'm a political phenomenon in L.A., thanks!
#
While doing comedy (and already cult legend in city from public access); shifted 180 degrees to politics. Councilmembers call me "genius!"
#
I said, "Don't like what's on TV, think I can do better" and started Zuma Dogg Show. Think I proved myself right. "A public access icon." - LA Weekly.
#
When I sent Bob Pittman my idea for innovative new entertainment cable channel, he took it and created E! cable when he was at Time Warner.
#
I walked into a NYC radio station and when I walked out my boss told HIS boss, "big reason station went to top was ZD!' (#11-#1 in NYC!)
#
You can sit and try to figure out ZD: All I know is I walked onto city stage with nothing but my thoughts and ended up citywide phenomenon.
#
Like many creative, innovative, cutting-edge geniuses who are ahead of the curve: First I'm scoffed, then scorned, then apologized to.
#
Whenever one of my bosses admits ZD is a genius, it's never as ZD compliment. It's to explain to GM why ZD has to be hired in first place.about 1 hour ago from web
#
I don't think I have ever worked for a boss who hired me (in a REAL, PROFESSIONAL, CORPORATE setting) who hasn't had told me I'm a genius.
#
There's a reason last 3 bosses to hire ZD asked him to return after he left. BIG BUSINESS NEEDS RESULTS/THEY HAD NO CHOICE! I'M TOO AMAZING!
#
If you ask anyone who's worked with me professionally they'll tell you I'm most amazing, innovative, fun, get-the-job-done, pain ever!
#
ZD was in charge of creating the "dream radio hour" for NYC research project. Sample did so well company said, "Highest results in history!"
#
When NYC radio did $100,000 annual market research/focus group, ZD's "test sample" outperformed the ACTUAL product SO MUCH, they went w/ZD!
#
Some of my BIG INSPIRATIONS are Deming, Al Ries & Jack Trout, Tony Robbins, Bob Pittman (MTV). ALL have sent praise letters to ZD. Thanks!
#
When I attended Tony Robbins seminar, thought I was just there to watch, but ended up onstage where Tony bowed down to me. No biggie!
#
When Tony Robbins dropped to his knees and bowed down to me on stage, people who worked w/him since start said THAT was a first time event!
#
When Dr. Deming send ZD letter praising my 14 Points article, top consultants thought I lied/demanded to see it since Deming didn't do that!
#
When ZD told his 1st boss in radio about BEST NEW BIG album the station should be playing he said, "Get out with that!" (U2/Joshua Tree).
#
When ZD worked in radio biz, he told his corporate boss, the company needed to play ALL hip-hop on radio. Rejected ZD then. It was company that owns what is NOW POWER 106. LOL!
#
Those who enjoy the music of SEAL, including Heidi Klum, should ask Seal and Warner Bros who BROKE Seal's music in U.S. when he was unknown?
#
When I worked in radio industry, last 3 bosses to hire me, all tried to re-hire me after I left to move on. ALWAYS DEVASTATING TO LOSE ZD!
#
Ask any of the TIPPY-TOP level executives of Sony/Time Warner if ZD was most creative/innovative/valuable executive they ever worked with.
#
Ask former Time-Warner, Inc's Bob Pittman, who created E! cable network WHO sent him memo with idea for channel w/details as launched? ZD!
#
Anyone who's spending every second of their day responding to me with comments on my blog is either a sick-loser or getting paid, I hope.
#
Ask Tony Robbins who the only person he ever "bowed down" on stage to, before NATIONALLY televised seminar? I'm told it's a ZD exclusive!
#
Ask ANYONE who's hired me professionally pre-ZD homelessness: They will tell you ZD is most amazing/innovative person they ever worked with.
#
TO HATERS: I take no shame in admitting I'm so burnt from sleep deprivation/bad nutrition I can't function beyond sitting at this computer.about
