The Backstage: A Venturer's Delusions, Discoveries, and Development: A behind-the-curtains view of the live entertainment industry from a technology entrepreneur who survived it


Overview

Live entertainment and technology. What do these two have in common? Aivars Mirzo Lipenitis (or IVR) has been in both. Sold-out shows, tours of A-listers, and parties with artist managers and agents, as well as Silicon Valley's billion-dollar promise - IVR has lived these all. Also sleepless nights, near-obsession, workaholism, emergy rooms, and a sense of a hopeless situation. His bromance with live entertainment, along with the personality challenges and rollercoaster of his private life, almost destroyed him, leaving him with little hope. Yet, we only live once, so the only option is to get up and keep going. From ego to leadership, destructive relationships to family, and from total financial instability and constant distress to prosperity. IVR is still on his way. In his first international release, IVR does not publish another self-help book or memoir. Instead, he uses his experiences-his climbs and falls-to convey what unconnected research by top universities and the experiences of others have been trying to tell us. He parts the curtains to the world of unknown challenges, possibilities, and the excitement of entrepreneurship and other ventures in our lives. The Backstage is a surprisingly open book in which the author shares his mistakes and lessons learned alongside those of other entrepreneurs, explained with the findings of top universities. Being half Northeastern European, half Central Asian, born in the Soviet era, IVR's story conjures up scenes that are not always familiar. Sometimes these scenes are even shocking for a Western reader. At the same time, having spent a large portion of his life doing business in Western countries, Aivars Mirzo Lipenitis instinctively knows how to tell a story that speaks the reader's language.
