Ari Emanuel has long been one of the most influential people in the world, but he’s also something of a mystery. As Hollywood’s best-known super-agent—the inspiration for Ari Gold in the classic TV series Entourage—he’s paid to speak for his A-list clients, not himself. 

Now, the agent, the mogul, the fero­cious power broker, speaks for himself and about the game of life. Drawing from his memoir Roll the Calls, he takes audiences inside the signings and fir­ings, the triumphant mergers and nasty breakups, the hard-won victories and crushing mistakes. 

Candid, funny, and unapologetically direct, Emanuel shares what he's learned about spotting talent, placing impossible bets, and making the bold, industry-defining moves that established him as an architect of modern entertainment. His talks are about success and failure, creativity and persistence, how to ignore the haters and, at moments of profound crisis and despair, be a fearless advocate for your most vulnerable client: yourself.

Emanuel leads TKO as Executive Chair and CEO and is Executive Chairman of WME Group, two companies that sit at the center of sports, entertainment, and culture.  Since co-founding Endeavor in 1995, Emanuel has repeatedly transformed the business of entertainment—merging William Morris Agency and Endeavor to form global enterprise WME, acquiring IMG and UFC, and ultimately bringing WWE and UFC together to form the sports powerhouse TKO. Based in Beverly Hills, Emanuel continues to build across ventures that include the global events and experiences company MARI and the Las Vegas Raiders.
