On this episode of the playbook I have Stephen Galanis, co-founder and CEO of Cameo,

and we're going to talk about the Celebrity and Network Effect,

and I am going to show him that I can get him his dream celebrity on Cameo.

Join me for all of this and more on the playbook.

This is Entrepreneurs the Playbook,

where each week I bring you some of the greatest athletes, celebrities,

and entrepreneurs to talk about their personal and professional playbook to success

and what made them champions on the field and in the boardroom.

I'm your host David Melzer.

I have watched this boy grow up from Duke into an extraordinary entrepreneur.
