My career in the entertainment industry has enabled me to work with a diverse range of talent.

Through my years of experience, I've recognized

two essential aspects. Industry professionals, whether famous stars or behind-the-scenes staff,

have fascinating stories to tell. Secondly, audiences are eager to listen to these stories, which

offer a glimpse into their lives and the

evolution of their life stories. This podcast aims to share these narratives, providing information

on how they evolve into their chosen career. We will delve into their journey to stardom,

discuss their struggles and successes, and hear from people who help them achieve their goals.

Get ready for intriguing behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the fascinating world of

entertainment.

Hi, I'm Tony Mantor. Welcome to Almost Live Nashville.

Joining us today is Tommy D. New Jersey's fearless concert promoter and founder of Juice Entertainment

and has waged a 15-year war against Live Nation.

What started as a dream to launch the East Coast biggest EDM festival at the Meadowlands turned

into a brutal takedown, artists forced to pull out, venues threatened, and a smear

campaign that nearly left him homeless. Refusing to break, Tommy fired back with an antitrust

lawsuit exposing live nations mafia-like tactics, secret rebates, inflated costs, and choke holes that

limit artists to perform at different venues.

This is truly a David versus Goliath scenario.

It's a clarion call for fairness in an industry where fans pay premium prices, artists get

squeezed, and independents like him fight to survive.
