We go behind the decks — and behind the egos — of creative teams shaping modern culture. Hosted by Christ Burstein (aka Los Cabra) from Berlin, the series dives into what really happens when art, chaos, and leadership collide: the tension between vision and burnout, creativity and structure, friendship and responsibility.

But the man who taught him how to make money at that scale, Don Lapre, was broke when he killed himself while in federal custody, ...
