In "Powerhouse," James Andrew Miller draws back the shimmering curtain of Hollywood to reveal the powerhouse machinery of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), an entity that has, in the shadows, shaped the entertainment landscape over the last five decades. With the narrative drive of a blockbuster film, Miller embarks on a riveting exploration of ambition and innovation, tracing CAA's meteoric rise from a scrappy upstart in 1975 to a behemoth whose influence permeates movies, television, music, and beyond. Through a compelling mosaic of insider accounts, "Powerhouse" unveils the audacious strategies and inner workings of an agency that has stealthily dictated the tastes and dreams of billions. Miller masterfully stitches together a saga filled with titanic ego clashes, unbridled greed, and breathtaking artistic triumphs, all set against the backdrop of Hollywood's glittering façade and cutthroat boardrooms. "Powerhouse" is not just a story of corporate ascent but a testament to the visionary minds and relentless drive that dared to redefine entertainment. With exclusive access to the architects of CAA's empire and never-before-seen financial insights, this book transcends the genre, offering a mesmerizing account of power, betrayal, and the unyielding pursuit of success in the world's most dazzling industry.

About the Talent industry. - Trung Phan
Mike was very good at making sure all roads led to him. He set himself up very intelligently. He was the guy who could get your kids into the best private schools; he was the guy who could get you into the best hospitals. We didn’t know it at the time, but he had a personal press guy, same one as Donald Trump—Howard Rubenstein—and this guy engineered a big Wall Street Journal story.
— James Andrew Miller, Powerhouse
