#35 - Andy King – Fyre Festival on Netflix – The Ultimate Team Player
About this episode
<p>A very special celebrity guest, Andy King, joined us on the Development by David Podcast.</p> <p>Andy King is a Netflix star and sustainable events planner.</p> <p>If you are one of the very few who missed the Fyre Festival documentary on Netflix, it was labelled as “the greatest party that never happened”. So much so, a whole documentary was filmed about its noteriety, social media dominance and ultimate collapse.</p> <p>The festival was promoted on Instagram by social media influencers including Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Hailey Baldwin and Emily Ratajkowski, many of whom did not initially disclose they had been paid to do so.</p> <p>During the Fyre Festival's inaugural weekend, the event experienced problems related to security, food, accommodation, medical services and artist relations, resulting in the festival being postponed indefinitely and eventually cancelled</p> <p>Andy’s notably known for one specific scene that broke the internet. The gripping scene exemplified the title of this podcast... stepping up as the ultimate team player.</p> <p>Andy can be regarded as a “meme” in pop culture but in fact Andy’s story is incredibly complex, intricate, emotive, astounding and varied.</p> <p>Imagine catering entire weddings at 16, inventing the role of a corporate concierge at Pepsi, being a young face in the Wall Street Journal, hosting a $2.5 million party for an investment bank, developing parties for The Rolling Stones and working alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo on sustainable initiatives.</p> <p>But, that being overshadowed by ONE LINE that was featured in a Netflix documentary.</p> <p>My friends, this is the tale of the REAL Andy King.</p> <p>A role model for sustainable change!</p> <p>Socials:</p> <p>Me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/developmentbydavid/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/developmentbydavid/?hl=en</a></p> <p>Me on Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-mcintosh-47683b120/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-mcintosh-47683b120/</a></p> <p>Andy on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/realandyking/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/realandyking/?hl=en</a></p> <p>Netflix’s Fyre Festival: <a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/81035279">https://www.netflix.com/title/81035279</a></p> <p>Fuel my podcast and buy me a Coffee: <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Dbyd">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Dbyd</a></p> <p>SPONSORS:</p> <p>Young and Lazy – <a href="https://www.instagram.com/youngandlazy_/">https://www.instagram.com/youngandlazy_/</a></p> <p>Young Entrepreneurs Network - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yenetworking/">https://www.instagram.com/yenetworking/</a></p>
