Description: Watch the full interview now as a VladTV Youtube Member - https://www.youtube.com/vladtv/join Part 14: https://youtu.be/zgDf9R61Fqs Part 1: https://youtu.be/S8ya_HZt_hw -------- Billy McFarland, the mastermind behind the disastrous Fyre Festival, discussed his experiences and reflections. While he has yet to watch the Netflix and Hulu documentaries detailing the ill-fated event, McFarland maintains he is not mature enough to handle them yet, fearing he'd focus on minor inaccuracies rather than the bigger picture. Vlad questioned how solitary confinement affected McFarland during his prison sentence, to which McFarland admitted the isolation led to severe paranoia and a distorted sense of reality, only alleviated slightly when he had a cellmate. Interestingly, Ja Rule, McFarland's former business partner, is attempting to revive the original concept of the Fyre app with a new venture called Icon, designed for talent bookings. McFarland expressed skepticism about the app's potential success, citing the significant capital and extensive team required for such an endeavor. Despite their troubled past, McFarland acknowledged the initial concept’s merit but cautioned about the complexities of executing it effectively.
