Charlie Sloth 0:57
And I think... It has integrity. But I think because you have integrity, I think because you have integrity, you install your morals into the brand. And this brand is a reflection of you. I think like pretty much everything you do speaks about you as a person because I feel like I'm the same. I feel like if it challenged my morals... I wouldn't want to do it because I'd be like, well, that's not a real reflection of me. Why am I going to invest my time or my money, my energy into something that doesn't represent me? And I feel like my team, you know, I have an amazing team, do an incredible job of managing the expectations of all of the brands that I'm involved with. And I don't even have to say it no more.
Charlie Sloth 1:42
If I feel like something's wrong or... It's not going to work. It doesn't look right for the brand. They know before it's even come to me because they know what my morals are. They know what I stand for, what I don't stand for, what I feel is right. So it's got to the point where I don't even have to have those conversations because I have such a great team who have those conversations for me and they protect the brand. I feel like if something goes wrong with one of the brands, it's a reflection on me. And something that I've always believed is one of my biggest assets is It's my reputation. I feel like you may not like me. You may hate me. You might find me annoying. But one thing you can't challenge is my reputation. I've never done anyone dirty, ever. I've never backstabbed anyone. I've never said I'm going to do something and not done it. And my brands have to hold up that same ethos.
Interviewer 2:39
In order for your team to know, what decisions you'd make before, you know, it even comes to you as it relates to the branding, the positioning of it and all those things. That must first start with you being really, really clear. And what I've got from all of that is because you're so clear in your head and non-negotiable about what this brand is, you've been able to kind of like install that in all of the people around you. So now they are like disciples of the values. For sure. We actually have a Bible. Oh, really?
Charlie Sloth 3:02
We actually have a fire in a brief Bible, a handbook. to do's and don'ts and especially now because you know the vision of fire in the booth has gone from being uh a feature on a radio show to being a global brand you know obviously now we're of apple you know one of the biggest companies in the world who i believe share the same ethos as we do in terms of vision in terms of content consumption um
Interviewer 3:31
And I feel like now the brand really is going global. Everyone wants to know what's in that Bible. What kind of things are in there?
Charlie Sloth 3:40
I mean, it's, you know, it goes from camera setup to edits, colours to use, right through to how artists are treated once they arrive, communication with teams.
Interviewer 3:58
One of the things I found really interesting is I read that you deleted, potentially hundreds of episodes of fire in the booth that just didn't cut it yeah which which i think a lot of people would be surprised by because you know a rapper an artist comes down they perform they might think it's gone off they might think that you know they killed it and then you're sat there thinking this doesn't meet the standard
