Shep Gordon Part 1: The Unfamous Man Who Made Everyone Famous
Manage episode 358024827 series 3286012
Shep Gordon is a legendary talent manager (he manages Alice Cooper and has done since 1968), film agent, producer, and was the subject of Mike Myers’ directorial debut, the 2013 documentary, Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon.
As well as managing household names such as Blondie, Eddie Pendergrast, Luther Vandross, to name but a few, the other thing to know about Shep is that he was (according to Emeril Lagasse) single-handedly responsible for creating the concept of ‘celebrity chef’.
But, says Shep, none of this was by chance, his destiny was the result of taking action, of using a bit of knowledge and compassion where he could, to get to where he wanted to go. And considering he’s cooked for the Dalai Lama, and credits as his mentor (and the man who changed his life), renowned chef, Roger Vergé, he’s definitely gone far.
From writing Buffalo, NY, history while high, to microdosing, to making Alice Cooper a global superstar, don’t miss Shep Gordon’s story, in his own words, on this episode of Into The Magic Shop.
“I used to look every client in the eye and I'd say, if I do my job perfectly, I will probably kill you. Luckily for you, I'm not perfect. But I'm really good. So you will be maimed. That's the price, you're going to pay for this. You are going to be maimed. And they all laugh. But they all got maimed.”
On today’s podcast:
- Do the best you can in the moment
- Being a star is all about accepting rejection
- The benefits of microdosing
- Why Alice Cooper is the embodiment of a good Christian
