good afternoon how’s everybody today
okay this is called TED Talks so we’re
gonna talk okay and I hope by the end my
talk you are inspired no matter what
your age is cuz I’m gonna show you some
crazy stuff and just look at me I’m
probably the weirdest person you’ve ever
met so my challenge today is to inspire
no matter what age you are especially
the youth in the audience right so you
saw that the first speaker quoted
Einstein the last speaker before the
break quoted the Bible so I’m gonna
start my presentation with a quote I
think that sounds like a good idea I’m
going to quote myself cuz I’m a legend
in my own mind right and so should you
your ideas should come from you and if
you’re confident and you’re a legend in
your own mind you can accomplish a lot
so what are we going to talk about today
we’re gonna talk about my quote when
something is disruptive innovation is at
its highest opportunity but the window
closes fast so what am I talking about
disruption is when something is
happening around you right innovation is
what you do with that disruption the
mistake that people make in particularly
the youth what they make is they go oh I
wish I would have thought of that
disruption occurs all the time you do
not have to be the one that disrupted in
fact in most cases it’s the second or
third or fourth or fifth person who said
I got an idea I could do something
different doesn’t have to be better and
be different that’s called innovation
and today I’m going to take you through
a crazy ride of the music industry the
film industry and theater and I’m going
to show you how disruption happened and
more important how innovation occurred
while that disruption was hat was going
on but I think what’s very relevant
first is as I went through this journey
of disruption this is
what I looked like what prior to that
right so between disruption and
innovation is the idea that’s the point
I wanted to make so some of you are very
young in here some of you are just out
of high school some of you are still in
high school you want to see what I look
like when I was in high school can you
find me in the picture think of
disruption think of disruption or
perhaps maybe it was innovation because
back there and I had an afro I’m a guy
up on the top yes I had an afro back
then so remember you’re young take
advantage of your hair when you get
older it goes right there are two people
in this picture that later disrupted the
music industry the guy in the front with
the glasses his name is Peter Antonia
and the guy with the afro up there right
your age 19 years old let’s talk about
this let’s look at the music industry if
you look at the history of the music
industry artists were broken by the
radio right for literally 60 70 years it
was radio right but there was this
disruption happening in New York City
there was this crazy idea an idea that a
DJ with a huge sound system could play
records yes records I know some of you
young people don’t know what that is
records right and it started catching on
well Peter and myself heard about this
in New York because this guy Peter had
this massive sound system in his house
drove his parents crazy and I said to my
hey I got this idea what if we took your
sound system and we put it in a club and
we played music now we grew up in
Portsmouth New Hampshire which is just
north of Boston so rock and roll was
king so we went into these nightclubs
and we played James Brown and Aretha
Franklin and the Commodores and R&B yes
some of you know who those people are
during the breaks of the rock band crazy
who would think of something like that
well then along comes this guy his name
was John Travolta and the movie was
called Saturday Night Fever and all of a
sudden the world caught on to disco
right and disco killed rock and roll and
what that
did was it introduced a new paradigm in
the music industry a major disruption
clubs could now break artists it changed
overnight and it took a good ride for a
long period of time and then along came
this thing in the early 80s because this
was 70s by the way that picture was 1973
I’ll show you how old I am right I saw
the first man lying on the moon on a
black-and-white TV that’s how old I am
right
MTV came along and MTV
killed the radiostar right MTV was a
major disruption so where was the
innovation I’m sitting there I’m pretty
well-known DJ now I got a good
reputation I was ranked one of the top
10 deejays in the Northeast I said you
know MTV is really crap it’s not any
good they’re just playing all the stuff
that the radio is playing and it’s all
rock and roll said I got this idea why
don’t we put video on television and mix
it the way we mix it in the club that
would be innovative
why because MTV already disrupted right
in fact MTV had gotten so strong that
they literally owned an exclusive on all
videos for 30 to 60 days no one else
none that none of the other TV shows
could show it so we did it and yes I was
your agent I got rejected several times
I wrote letters to all the labels and
they said no no no no no one day Warner
Brothers said yes I got that letter I
thought I was gonna die I don’t even
have a show I’m pitching him like I have
one I got a run now I’m calling Capital
I get all of them but I didn’t do what
MTV did I presented new artists because
that was different that was innovative
here’s what happened I get a call one
day from Warner Brothers saying hey we
have this band MTV’s not going to play
this band we’d like you to meet this
band and we’d like you to help us with
this band you know what that band was
you may know this Ben it was called aha
you know the font a sing-along yeah
that’s my band I got a gold record for
that and then everything started
happening
speaking of disrupt
another group that I helped promoted
three white guys that rap what that’s a
novel idea they were called the Beastie
Boys
you know the Beastie Boys you got to
fight for the right to I see the older
people know that you young people get
hip get hip right maybe you know this
artist goes towards the end of me
getting out of the music industry I
discovered and helped promote a woman
who was a disco diva who totally failed
you might know her the younger people
are name was Al honest more set yeah
isn’t that ironic so what happened next
was along come streaming and you want to
talk about disruption of streaming
because how many of you have Spotify
right yeah eighty percent of you are
Globe customers because you have Spotify
I know that for a fact
right do you think Spotify was the
disruption no Napster was that was the
first disruption the innovation came
years later with Spotify and you know
what Spotify has done in the industry it
set us back 50 years we’re back to radio
that’s what Spotify is it’s just a
glorified radio and Spotify has killed
the videostar to be us to be a star in
the music industry you had to when MTV
came along it had to be Guapo right now
you now Spotify doesn’t tell you who the
artist is
it doesn’t share it with you ed Sheeran
used to stutter when he was a young kid
he learned how to stop stuttering by
memorizing Eminem’s album that’s an
interesting fact how many you know that
fact nobody right because nobody’s
telling the stories so where’s the
disruption today in the music industry
it’s in content platforms it’s telling
the stories of the artists that’s where
we’re going in the music industry
that’s where globe is going to take step
to disrupt the Philippines and hopefully
through content of Filipino artists we
can introduce Filipino artists to the
world film industry let’s talk about
that okay film industry by the way the
film industry has been this way for a
hundred years
the Philippines has no offense to my
Filipino friends I’m Filipino I Drive my
own car on edge so trust me you look at
this this is the same way it’s been you
get a film you release it it goes to DVD
goes for pay-per-view TV over the top
let’s over the top over to the top is
like Netflix right and the new content
platforms are coming this is the way the
Philippines is guess what it’s
disrupting already around the world so
all of you creators in the Philippines
need to understand what’s happening
we’ve sold our first movie to Netflix
the first Filipino movie to air locally
on Netflix and air worldwide globe
studios help with TBA
bird shot have you seen bird shot how
many people have Netflix raise your
hands okay go home and watch birdshot
it’s going to revolutionize the film
industry in the Philippines because now
we can tell Filipino stories and you see
the problem with the industry and if you
want to look at disruption here’s the
problem in the Philippines we tell
Filipino stories for Filipinos we should
tell Filipino stories to the world
that’s innovation that’s disruption
right birdshot is very disruptive it’s a
beautiful film it’s it’s on Netflix
speaking of disruption our next film was
in the Berlin Film Festival it was a
love Dias movie four hours long black
and white four hours long is that insane
that’s crazy for our movie right how
many of you people that raise your hands
for Netflix you watch Netflix right you
watch 14 hour movies how crazy is that
they just break it up in two hours right
so Nast daily how many people know NASA
daily yeah I love to see that nastily is
what he’s content one minute right see
you see it tomorrow one minute so
somewhere between one minute and four
hours is insanity right figure where
that spot is content is rich right now
in the theatrical space and the windows
of when they go from film to DVD
and in fact DVDs are almost extinct now
you know piracy is no longer needed
because of the digital platforms so this
space is right for disruption let’s talk
about theater if you look at theater
Globe live got involved with theater
because what we realize is the
government does not fund the arts in the
Philippines and if the arts want to
advance companies need to get involved
so Globa the position of getting
involved with nine works and funded the
local theater scene and we’ve done
extremely well in fact the other night
Newsies our production our last
production ended up winning five the
equivalent of the Tony Awards the guy
hot guy hot bully hey awards it’s hard
for me to say so but this is a typical
path it its regional hopefully if it’s
really good you go to Broadway goes on
tour film content platforms no that
doesn’t exist right now in the theater
space so what we’re trying to disrupt is
if you’re in Duvall or you’re in CDO
you can’t see live theater can you you
have to come to Manila why is that so
we’re gonna look at producing local
theater and the disruption is we’re
gonna put it in the cinema we’re gonna
put it online we’re going to stream it
so that people can see it and it will
change maybe going forward how people
now get to experience live theater so
look forward to that coming in August so
I keep talking about clot content
platforms these are content platforms
these are the partners that globe works
with and there’s one thing that
everybody in this room can capitalize if
you believe in yourself and you’re a
legend in your own mind is you can play
with any of these partners now these big
partners you know why because they all
have the same problem they need Asia and
they need local content so if you’re in
that content business now remember you
may not think you’re in the content
business nass Daley does what holds a
camera in front of him and talks
birdshot was a tremendous cinematography
movie right somewhere in between that is
you sitting in this room because they’re
looking for
short form content not just films you
can play in that space
check NASA daily out you’ll see what I’m
talking about
and they all need data they all need
access to to the Philippines
so in closing this is what I’d like to
say to you right I’m a weird guy you’re
a weird person creating the problem with
creative people is you get discouraged
you will fail a lot if you’re a creative
person
if you become koala and you don’t move
on with it you won’t succeed if you’re
creative fail many times because an idea
is an idea don’t let anyone tell you
that’s not a good idea have trust in
yourself that some young kid at nineteen
year old with a afro could take on MTV
and knock him down right I didn’t have a
ton of money I was Wayne’s World four
right but I took on MTV that video aha
ended the MTV exclusivity because it
proved that regional shows could break
artists you’re sitting in this room
today you have an idea go forward with
it no matter what your age is so I
encourage you to go forward with your
dream drive it don’t let anyone tell you
it’s not a good idea no matter what your
age is keep doing it fail fast fail
often you will succeed I guarantee you
I’m living example of it thank you very
much [Applause]
okay this is called TED Talks so we’re
gonna talk okay and I hope by the end my
talk you are inspired no matter what
your age is cuz I’m gonna show you some
crazy stuff and just look at me I’m
probably the weirdest person you’ve ever
met so my challenge today is to inspire
no matter what age you are especially
the youth in the audience right so you
saw that the first speaker quoted
Einstein the last speaker before the
break quoted the Bible so I’m gonna
start my presentation with a quote I
think that sounds like a good idea I’m
going to quote myself cuz I’m a legend
in my own mind right and so should you
your ideas should come from you and if
you’re confident and you’re a legend in
your own mind you can accomplish a lot
so what are we going to talk about today
we’re gonna talk about my quote when
something is disruptive innovation is at

closes fast so what am I talking about
disruption is when something is
happening around you right innovation is
what you do with that disruption the
