Taylor Sheridan has built one of the most-watched television empires on the planet, and he wants everyone to know he did it without chasing trophies or taking notes from the people who sign his paychecks.

The “Yellowstone” creator unloaded on studio and network brass during an appearance on “The Bill Simmons Podcast,” where he turned up to promote his new book “How Not to Die in Prison,” co-written with Tom Nelson. Sheridan, who has two series on the Emmy ballot this year, the freshman drama “The Madison” and the sophomore season of “Landman,” spoke with the sports podcaster about doing the opposite of what the industry had told him to.
