Episode 66: Wu-Tang and How to Exist in Our Insane World with Josh Hagquist Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

I was on the phone with my good friend Josh a few days ago, and we started discussing a few things that I thought would make a good episode. So, I stopped the conversation and we agreed to have it on record, for posterity, for all of you. The first segment of this episode is our discussion about the Wu-Tang solo records. We give our favorites (admittedly, having not listened to every single one of the 50,000 which exist). This convo is vital to the fate of civilization as we know it, and we attempted to treat the subject matter with the level of reverence, honor, and respect it deserves. From there, in the bonus content segments, we discuss the most recent election, the media, big tech, social media, cancel culture, Gina Carano (The Mandalorian), and more. METAL!

Episode 63: Disneywar Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

I recently finished the book I had been reading titled DISNEYWAR and found it to be so captivating/relevant that I wanted to dedicate a podcast episode to it. The book chronicles the goings-on behind the corporate veil of all things in the life of the highest level of management at Disney from 1984-2004, which was a very significant time in the company’s history. Trust me when I say this book is both a page-turner and 100% applicable to everything I have been talking about in the life of this podcast. This first segment is a book review of sorts (and it runs pretty long – just short of an hour). In the Private segment I will discuss insights and lessons to be learned, and in the Breakdown segment I will discuss parallels to my own experience in the entertainment industry.

Show notes

Focus, for me, is a daily fight. I have so many irons in the fire that each day I have to be very intentional about which ones to prioritize.

Episode 59: Revisiting Haunted Places Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

YOU can flip the script on a bad memory or haunted place by confronting your fear and revisiting it. This is a major thing creatives deal with and a topic I have been obsessed with for some time….how do you take a mistake, crisis, or failure and flip the script on it? More importantly how can you use the past to your advantage? This is a huge theme in my world in recent history!
