Ken Griswold's secret to success

Don't pay people who work for you.

From a former Dawgman photographer:

"At the same time that their employers were often giving away their content for free, photographers would constantly remind each other to not diminish the value of one’s own work. When I happened to mention my circumstance at the time— I was shooting for Dawgman for free — that drew their ire toward me ... To this date, I don’t think Dawgman has ever paid a photographer to shoot for them."


Helps explain why Fetters demolishes those media buffets like a hungry bear ravaging a garbage can.

Apparently the prestige of working at Dawgman for a CEO like Ken makes up for not getting a paycheck

    They paid me $50 an article. Samek would always make it a point to say that he was paying me out of his own pocket.
    $50 an article?

    That's probably double what Derek made from any of his books

    Koop didn't work for Dawgman. I'm guessing the photographer was Max but I'm not positive.
