Summary
In this episode I spoke with Peter Hoffman, former CEO of Carolco Pictures, and we discussed this book "Karmic Winds: Reflections from the "Smartest Guy in Hollywood". KARMIC WINDS is a memoir of power, collapse, and reckoning by Peter M. Hoffman, a Yale-trained lawyer and Hollywood insider who once stood at the center of the independent film boom and later found himself stripped of status, freedom, and certainty. The book will be out on June 16, 2026.
