"What's this all about?" you might be asking.
Let me tell you. It's a List of Three (3) very powerful Concepts all need to consider before delving into Brian Gazer's Second Book.
FACE TO FACE works for its Author & Hollywood Movie Mogul, Brian Grazer as He is OF Privilege.
Most of us cannot look eye-to-eye with Anyone of Importance that will further our Careers. Ageism and Racism prevent all that besides armed guards, borders, insecurities & addictions, as well as gatekeepers who act as junkyard guard dogs.
PLUS, for those of us who are bound in to whatever Actions We have (amassed) even if you are:
FACE TO FACE
with someone of Ultimate Importance, that Person could very well be an Addict who is not even concentrating on what The Topic, Subject or #MATTER_THAT_MATTERS_MOST is. Is to you, that is. You are merely taking up his/her Precious Time while he/her plots their get-away escape.
There are two very important Events to consider here:
#1: Consider the uptick in People who snap - thus are pushed beyond their Breaking Point to do heinous Acts and Actions of Violence; and
#2: #Read_My_Lips, Mr. Grazer: After 911 (which was 18 years ago as of September 11, 2019), most Offices located in High Rises - Skyscrapers across the USA (may be the same across The World, I am suspecting and guessing this is so) have gun-toting Guards as Security in their Lobbies. The average Person wishing to get their 'Big Break', wanting a meeting with a Corporate Head or anyone who can move their Career into High Gear are basically un-accessible. Furthermore, with The Internet, Ideas are being stolen left and right, non-stop. No one can fight to get those Gems back because they instantly go viral & trend. The only one getting rich and ahead are The Attorneys. The Middle Class is virtually non-existent.
#3: Millions of us have less Time (than ever before) to have these so-called Face-to-Face Confrontations. I (for one) am constantly behind my Two (2) Screens (SmartPhone & Dell Laptop) utilizing only 1 Social Media in which to correspond to thousands (I am assuming) of People across the World.
Point A: There's a greater Movement in having Masses of People follow you; than having a One-on-One with a Person. Although Employees must have an Interface with their Bosses and Clients in order to make Business work.
Point B: The Irony in all of this is that high technology has given MAN the mobility to move more and more People into Positive Interactions than if we were confined to the Typewriter & the Postal System when it comes to communicating FAST & accurately. Time is OF THE ESSENCE.
#4: Plenty of People believe that the Me Too Movement is an Outgrowth of Older Women who (while they were young and 'had it') did not take full advantage of an Encounter with a Man of Power. A few of the Cases are Boys being allegedly encountered by a Female Boss of Power. Now in their waning years, in a totally YOUTH-Oriented Society, they feel this is their Last Hurrah and thus are 'out for blood.' You cannot blame them. When a Person is hurt they do 'The Unthinkable' - as those exemplified in my #1 (stated above).
THE SUMMARY IS: However, it's a Nice Thought you have there. Being face-to-face (a Spin-Off of what Facebook was supposed to be) when it was in its Original pre-Capitalization Mode considering most of us 'face' our Screens far too much more than We had during The 1900s when Life was unscreened and much more personalized and caring.

You cannot fool all of us...well, not me, that is.
