#83 Does He Ever Sleep? - Dick Hennessy , Conversation in the Studio

Just turning 40, Dick reflects on his current life, and putting on events constantly in his stripclub industry. Dick promotes heavily and even his one-night, "Miss Exotic Oregon" is five months in the making. But he has been doing this long enough that he does have it down to a business science and all the steps are predictable. He has learned how to artfully dodge the stigma of being in the adult entertainment business while providing the service his audience demands. For instance, donating to charities has been difficult, as some feel they can't take "tainted" money. And following the law; even the term "nude" must be interpreted correctly for him to keep staging his events successfully. And he's even been able to heal up his past by making it a family business: Mom is the company's CPA!
