Imagine you’re an employee whose employer is putting all this time and money into this project that is solely focused on you, and you turn around and quit, BUT you still want to go ahead with the project. There are no further explanations from him nor from Helix but the book tour moves ahead.

Then out of the blue (for those of us who follow Helix), Joey tweets out his now being a “free agent” and “poor management” as one of the reasons. All the while, plans for Electric Soul are moving ahead as planned. However, during this time, something went wrong. Then the book and tour started to get promoted and more money was invested to ensure the tour was a success. As it turns out, getting into The Strand was a stroke of good luck. Ask yourself why Helix would do that? They wanted to capitalize on his popularity (nothing wrong with that) and promote him in yet another way (nothing wrong with that either).Īs any employer does when they value their employees, they invested in Joey and while the book was in production they started the process of developing the book tour. Then someone came up with the idea of making one of the first Rise Up books about him and his life. Joey Mills was one of the highest paid per scene models at Helix.

Let’s think with our big heads for a moment.įirst the facts. I think we all need to take a step back and look at this logically, if that is even possible.
