• A white-label product or service is a product or service produced by one company (the producer) that other companies (the marketers) rebrand to make it appear as if they made it.
• http://www.thestorystudio.com/what_weve_done/my_country - "There was such a clear connection between their brief and our visual design that the client could easily see how and why the future of the brand would unfold."

Session 5 - Nov 2, 2012

• Rob Kirk - US audience - in the USA it is broad exposure through media
• Emily made Rob nervous - loss of control; contrived; tremendous story at OSE, but need to make sure TV doesn't control the message. If we can't do it in a correct way, we shouldn't do it - according to Kirk.
• Rob had a meeting w/ head guy of History Channel. Leader in reality vision. History channel - kind of tacky. Then there is H2 - content-oriented version. Serious content, not character-driven, contrived programming. Ex - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Marvels - is an H2 program. Mike is the exec. Showed them TED Talk. Typically pitches 10 ideas, this time TED Talk was compelling. Not right for History Channel - but H2. Competes with Science Channel by Discovery channel.
• Key: absolute final editorial control lies in us. Not in contract, but show design must be focused in a specific way. H2 has 50 million homes. Ex - Modern Marvels has viewers. H2 Network started because History Channel left their core audience behind.
• Marcin - racing the time, bringing people together for production. People with basic capacity.
• Watch word in TV is stakes - business/financial; success or not;
• Mananging leadership, enterprise, production, recruiting
• Haliburton vs 12 Farmers.
• Powerful force - lots of strength to do this. Unique vision, strength, and quality. This would give a certain visibility - transparent - open source, transparency. Rob is wise and has been in this game. Non-interference basis - producing. Ex. They did 3 months of following basic training starting with civilians. Start of Army of 1 campaign.
• This involved 1 hour per week. On other days, just talk 'on the fly.'
• Works on my schedule - when is the time? Few shows for 2 months of filming.
• 3-12 months window for air time. Each episode - gather everything - 2 weeks. That depends.
• Time, machines, etc.
• Rob would be there a lot, and every phase of editing.
• Follow and non-interference. On the fly interviews. Once a week for an hour.
  • Creative direction is wholly Rob.
  • Preproduction - Rob understands what I am doing. 2 people - every day producer + Rob Kirk. Full time. Camera, sound, producer + production assistant. On-demand structure. The crew itself has to be on-board too. On-board with mission. Helping in what we are doing.
  • Series for 8-12 episodes right away. Popular series.
• Rob Kirk - working on 2 series right now - 12 people active + freelancers
• Emily rad small production as well - understands enterprise.
• About 8-12 months for the series all together. Shooting completed - then editing phase. Then may come back. $250k/hour episode.

  • Send the former offer to Emily on History Channel
  • Emily want to prepare this, it takes time, so I can turn it down.
  • Focus Forward is compelling, but does not show process.
  • If I am pulled into media, as long as I know who I am, if I am authentic, that will come through. Not Larry Ellison, not Jane Goodall
    • I am controllable by virtue of actions
    • Toolkit - yes
    • Handiest man in the world- let everyone feel power
    • Team up with right people
    • Producer and Network have ultimate editorial control
    • I would like to have ultimate 'positioning control' ie adherence to Character Stand with a taem member on our side
• There is interest upon first meeting, and continuing journey
• Words that are not discource - Autonomy is not discourse; Mastery is not discourse; Higher Purpose is not discourse
• Current Stand: We believe in producing material security, autonomy and abundance for all. And that when a persons’ physical reality is transformed they can not help but become empowered, responsible individuals in their community.
