TK Kirkland cautioned about placing too much trust in agents, whom many clients perceive as unfailingly loyal, without understanding their actual motives or individual circumstances. He highlighted that many people are unaware of their agent's personal financial responsibilities, potentially leading to conflicts of interest. TK also argued against the common notion of agents as essential intermediaries, suggesting that performers often unnecessarily give 20% of their earnings to agents for deals that could have been negotiated directly. However, he acknowledged that some individuals may lack the confidence or understanding of their worth to manage themselves. Believing in the value of independence and personal management, TK shared his personal experience of actively booking shows for himself and landing a 10-year deal with Live Nation, effectively ensuring his continuous work engagements. He encouraged others to strategize and plan ahead for increased control over their careers.
