While in the Marine Corps, his mother sent him The Flesh Peddlers, a novel about the talent industry by Stephen Longstreet.

They opened Creative Artists Agency in a rented office with card tables, folding chairs, and their wives as the secretaries.

It later expanded its range of services to include consulting with corporations.

Over the years, the company developed into the preeminent talent agency, representing many of the industry’s most influential talent, and later expanding its range of services to include consulting with leading American and international corporations.
