At least two of our guests ignored poor career advice, followed their dreams and became respected film industry insiders. One of them now has an Academy Award for Best Picture. Our other guests:

  • have created an influential, global network built on an attitude of gratitude;
  • have taken the mantra location, location, location to a whole new level;
  • do actually know what NFTs are and can explain them.

All of them have overcome "No".

All of us are adapting to whatever Covid-19 throws at us.
