You would not be a=le to do a competing book or documentary before then. This is not to say th=t they shouldn't be pursued. In a sense, better that they know what Patters=n's position is and, a year from now say, be able to counter it. I have som= thoughts on book and doc to share at your convenience. That being said, you do need an immediate counter narrative to the boo=. I believe Trump offers an ideal opportunity. It's a chance to make the st=ry about something other than you, while, at the same time, letting you fra=e your own story. Also, becoming an anti-Trump voice gives you a certain po=itical cover which you decidedly don't have now. Still, this necessary invo=ves you going public. And so the most basic decision is about your willingn=ss to do that. My view is that in a couple of weeks you could master messag= and technical proficiency. I know a bunch of people who could be very help=ul here. This would involve something along the lines of you writing an op-=d, doing a high profile television interview (Charlie Rose, I'd say), and p=rhaps some social media efforts. Speaking of which= again, I think a strategic plan, involving your public identity, philanthr=pic activities and interests, and the development of media allies, ought fi=ally to be put in place. A big, comprehensive, expensive effort. =br> The alternative is to continue to keep head down and hope Pat=erson book is just more he-said s
