Nana had 0 plans for growth or success opening CM. To him, success was measured on how long he could keep his status quo of “having fun” going. It didn’t matter if year after year CM was bleeding money. If Nana could still drink and do a 2 hour show where he hoots and hollers and bullshits he was successful. He might as well have started a Gofundme post firing and just asked for money to do nothing. But obviously no one would give him money year after year if there weren’t a “product” attached.
The question then is why the fuck he decided to open a network instead of doing a show on his own. With a network you had bigger costs, people to take care of, and it looks like you want to grow it into an outlet for other creators. Nana didn't give a shit about any of that. “Whats fun? Having more people around me would be fun. FUN!”
BroJoe is a dolt but he was right about one thing. Nana has 0 business acumen. He just knows “how to be funny”, or he once knew how to do that, and to have fun. Even Joe in his decrepit age is chasing the money by taking cruise ship gigs and flying to carribean islands to perform shitty U2 shows. You can say thats pathetic, it is, but its still more business sense than Nana ever showed.
