There was a potential murder mystery client that I was hoping to land. He had worked with every other murder mystery company around, and at that time there were three or four others in St. Louis. They all told me the same thing, "The man is impossible to work for." None of them lasted more than a few years performing at his venue.
"But I can do it!" I said to myself. "They can't work with him, but I can work with him! After all, I'm more intelligent and sensitive than they are. I do well with difficult people. I'll win him over, get him to like me. I can succeed where all others failed!"
We lasted three months. He was a monster.
