Explore over 1,000 episodes I’ve created, available for free across various platforms.

How-To Guides

Many would-be creative people I know begin their artistic journey with so much excitement, as they should, but as soon as they lack a certain skill-set they abandon their project. It’s very sad to see and so I never want to see you fall into that position. That is why I FREELY offer up the expertise I’ve gained along the way in multiple disciplines of the entertainment industry, which range from: storytelling, editing, Photoshop, website development, podcasting, sound design, pre-production planning, hosting, workflow management and organization, marketing and SEO, camera shooting formats and techniques, graphic design, live production, cross-platform publishing, streaming, lighting, recording methods, etc.
In this episode, I emphasize the critical importance for screenwriters to actively read scripts as part of their craft. I discuss why immersing yourself in well-written scripts can significantly enhance your storytelling abilities and help you understand the nuances of screenwriting. I also share one of the best ways to access scripts—by getting them printed as physical books from your local library. This approach not only gives you a tactile reading experience but also allows you to study the formatting, structure, and pacing that make a script successful. Tune in to learn how this practice can elevate your writing and bring your screenplays to life.

In this episode, I dive into the biggest challenge every writer faces: simply sitting down to write. Whether you're a seasoned author or just starting out, the act of getting yourself to the writing table is often the hardest part. But once you overcome that hurdle, productivity follows—even if the quality or quantity of your output varies from day to day.

In this episode, I delve into the art of pitching a feature film, focusing on crafting a compelling 3-minute pitch designed to hook your audience. As I approach the pitching phase of my latest project, I share insights on why this short pitch is crucial for capturing interest and how it serves as a versatile tool for networking events and quick introductions. I also discuss the importance of being prepared to expand beyond the 3-minute mark, ensuring you have enough material and depth to keep the conversation going. For those looking to dive deeper into the 3-minute pitch concept, I highly recommend checking out Brant Pinvidic's book, "The 3-Minute Rule," which offers invaluable tips and strategies (https://www.amazon.com/3-Minute-Rule-Less-Pitch-Presentation/dp/0525540725). Join me as I break down the elements of a successful pitch, offer tips for refining your message, and explore strategies to make your pitch memorable and effective.

In this episode, I dive into Lauren LoGrasso's insightful thread on how rich people approach funding their creative projects without spending their own money. Inspired by her experience with a multi-millionaire client, Lauren highlights the mindset difference that keeps wealthy individuals from depleting their resources. I explore the nuances of adopting this approach as an indie creator, discussing the value of seeking sponsors, investors, and grants instead of using personal funds. While I acknowledge the importance of resourcefulness and the need to keep momentum going, I emphasize the necessity of starting with what you have. Tune in to discover how to fund your creative ventures sustainably, build a network of support, and ensure your artistic journey remains financially and emotionally healthy.

FYI, you can follow Lauren on social media @LaurenLoGrasso and be sure to check out her award winning podcast "Unleash Your Inner Creative" wherever you get your podcasts 🙂

Master Mental Fortitude

You can’t just rely on your technical skills as a creative. You must also master mental fortitude in order to achieve your creative endeavors otherwise you’ll end up working against yourself, burning out, depressed, or worse. I can speak to this firsthand which is why I’ve decided to stress the importance of fortifying your mind as well as your craftsmanship. The lessons here offer up my knowledge ranging from stoicism, essentialism, Toltec wisdom, Taoism, Buddhism, logo-therapy and other schools of thought and combine them with real world applications for your everyday life and art. Don’t make the same mistakes I did. Let these insights become your foundational pillars so you can find success in your work and personal life.
In this episode, I break down the common phrase, "Don't forget me when you're famous," and why it's not the compliment people think it is. This phrase often implies a lack of real support for an artist's journey and focuses on benefiting from their success later. I discuss the importance of genuine support and how it can make a difference in an artist's career long before they achieve fame. If you truly care about an artist, it's about being there for them now, not just when they've "made it."

In this episode, I dive into the biggest challenge every writer faces: simply sitting down to write. Whether you're a seasoned author or just starting out, the act of getting yourself to the writing table is often the hardest part. But once you overcome that hurdle, productivity follows—even if the quality or quantity of your output varies from day to day.

In this episode, I dive into Lauren LoGrasso's insightful thread on how rich people approach funding their creative projects without spending their own money. Inspired by her experience with a multi-millionaire client, Lauren highlights the mindset difference that keeps wealthy individuals from depleting their resources. I explore the nuances of adopting this approach as an indie creator, discussing the value of seeking sponsors, investors, and grants instead of using personal funds. While I acknowledge the importance of resourcefulness and the need to keep momentum going, I emphasize the necessity of starting with what you have. Tune in to discover how to fund your creative ventures sustainably, build a network of support, and ensure your artistic journey remains financially and emotionally healthy.

FYI, you can follow Lauren on social media @LaurenLoGrasso and be sure to check out her award winning podcast "Unleash Your Inner Creative" wherever you get your podcasts 🙂

In this episode, I share a profound question my therapist and I have been exploring: "What are my charters?" This concept examines what governs you overall, based on your core beliefs. By looking at various aspects of life, from aspiring notions like truth to challenging ones like fear, you can determine if you have a positive or negative charter for each. If it's negative, you delve into why and how to change it. While this isn't an in-depth episode, it's a powerful question worth introducing that you too can explore. Tune in to see how this exercise might help you understand and transform your core beliefs.
