Breaking into the business - An Interview with Wesley Bullock

Many people are interested in breaking into the sports and entertainment businesses. Today I am posting an interview on the subject. Many people will find it useful to listen in to the conversation so they can fine tune or begin to develop their plan and strategy for breaking into the business.

This is a conversation between Don West, Jr. and Wesley Bullock on April 29, 2008. The basic topic is sports and entertainment law and breaking into the business. Wesley will be attending the University of Miami School of Law in the fall of 2008 and will be interning with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) in Los Angeles, CA over the summer. Wesley was referred to the Legacy Lawyer by Therese Lambert from the UM Law School's recruiting office.

Wesley was the senior class president at Howard University for the '06-'07 academic year and has recently completed his M.B.A. Wesley has agreed to be a contributor to this blog in the future on the topics of sports and entertainment law.
