Episode Notes

In this episode, host Scott Paul speaks with Chris Fenton, the author of "Feeding the Dragon: Inside the Trillion Dollar Dilemma Facing Hollywood, the NBA, & American Business". Fenton previously served as the president of DMG Entertainment Motion Picture Group and lead the production of Hollywood blockbusters "Iron Man 3" and "Looper", in collaboration with the Chinese government.
