Just started Succession. Does the world of advertising have a family similar to the Roys?

Not a family, but the big 4 holding companies are fueled by the same… energy.

The Bollore family, which owns Havas/Vivendi, perhaps? The father was arrested over bribery and corruption charges in Africa a few years ago. He went Full Beast, I'm guessing, and probably paid some fines and got a slap on the wrist.

He’s like a shipping magnet or something. I would imagine bribing people is essentially required at most ports on the planet.

Ad people arent that influential. Most cant even get a hold of CEO of a fortune 500 company.

Not directly advertising, but the Edelmans.

This is frighteningly accurate.

Sorrell, Levy, Edelman… but they’re all a scale of magnitude apart, if we look a little outside of advertising to the media landscape more broadly, to the Murdoch’s.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.
