If you would, can you share the most "uninformed (or more often misinformed)" "what and why" of Grooby that should be corrected?

[GroobySteven]

what drives you as a business man?

A number of things - to really create a product that I would want to buy, to make sure I can build a future for myself, family and those who work with us, to be better than everyone else.
I really enjoy what I do - so that helps.

That would be up to those with questions to ask.

What, or whom got you into this business?

What, or whom got you into this business?

Sort answer:
1996 - 25 living/working in London between gigs at the BBC as an Ass.Floor Manager, part-time teaching and trying to get into film. Bought a PC (486) and a 28.8kb modem as I was intrigued by the internet with some money left me by my Gran (PC's were over £1000 at the time). Started surfing the news groups and finding porn, bought 'The Dummies Guide to HTML' and built some free or Geocities sites showing the best of what I had downloaded from the newsgroups, people started sending me photos to put on the free sites. Ran out of bandwidth, so put it on an Age Verification Site (AVS) and started making some income. Neil (who still works with us and is our techie whizz!) contacted me as he had a site called 'Planet Shemale' and asked me why I wasn't doing credit card sales - he showed me how (eternally grateful) and then the Commander contacted me and said he can get original content for $150 a roll of film. First site was $10 for 3 months access.

I went from living on about £250 a month - to £2000 a month overnight.
Reinvested back into new sites (went to Thailand to shoot in 1997).



So a combination of being horny, not having a girlfriend, help from a friend and drive to do more.

How do you find all of those gorgeous places to do your shoots ?

I don't often - that's all on the producers. Some user this own houses but more often their rented studios, or apartments. In Brazil you can rent great rooms or farmhouses cheap, in the USA usually hotel rentals.

Attracted to women - regardless of whether they're transgender or not, but yes certainly to a lot of the girls we work with.
I think it would be hard to run a company like this if you weren't in some way.
