Welcome to our 27th episode in the monthly book discussion series hosted by Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and myself, Phil Svitek. If books are your passion, you've come to the right place!In this episode, we delve into On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous which is the debut novel by Vietnamese-American poet Ocean Vuong.On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one’s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard.With stunning urgency and grace, Ocean Vuong writes of people caught between disparate worlds, and asks how we heal and rescue one another without forsaking who we are. The question of how to survive, and how to make of it a kind of joy, powers the most important debut novel of many years.Join the conversation!

Join me in this eye-opening episode as we delve into the future of artificial intelligence, sparked by Bumble CEO's recent announcement of an AI concierge for dating. This concept raises profound questions about the role of AI in our lives and the direction of human interaction.As we explore the potential of AI to revolutionize dating and beyond, I challenge the prevailing notion of offloading human interaction to AI while maintaining productivity for ourselves. What if, instead, we flipped the script and prioritized human connection and leisure over mundane chores?By allowing AI to handle repetitive tasks, we free up precious time to spend with loved ones, nurture relationships, and pursue meaningful experiences. In doing so, we not only enhance our quality of life but also create opportunities to meet and connect with others on a deeper level.Join me as I envision a future where AI serves as a tool to enrich human experiences rather than replace them, and where technology enhances our capacity for connection and fulfillment. It's time to reimagine the relationship between humans and AI and create a future where both thrive in harmony.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

In this episode, I make a compelling case for why writing fan fiction serves as an invaluable entry point into storytelling.

Even if not directly applicable, the experience gained from writing fan fiction helps sharpen narrative mechanics, character development, and world-building skills—essential elements of any successful story.Join me as I explore the benefits of fan fiction as a creative outlet and discuss how it can serve as a springboard for aspiring writers to explore their storytelling potential.

In this thought-provoking episode, I delve into a common phenomenon: the misconception that when people ask for your opinion, they're genuinely seeking it. Instead, I argue that often, they're subconsciously seeking validation of their own beliefs. If your opinion aligns with theirs, it's accepted; if not, you're swiftly dismissed as "wrong."But what if we approached conversations with more open-mindedness? What if we viewed differing opinions as opportunities for growth and learning rather than threats to our own beliefs? In this episode, I explore the benefits of embracing diverse perspectives, challenging our own assumptions, and cultivating a culture of respectful dialogue.Join me as I unpack the psychology behind confirmation bias, share personal anecdotes, and offer practical tips for fostering open-minded conversations. Together, let's strive to create spaces where diverse viewpoints are valued, curiosity is encouraged, and genuine understanding flourishes.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

In a world obsessed with scalability and growth, I'm here to challenge the notion that bigger is always better. Inspired by instances like ABC's Shark Tank, where investors often pass on businesses deemed "unscalable," I argue that there's immense value in maintaining a personalized, non-scalable approach to service.For me, my value lies in my personal touch—I can charge more because clients know they're getting me, not just a product or service. They trust my expertise, my input, and my individualized attention. While scalability might promise higher earnings by expanding to more employees, it could also come at a cost—both in terms of money and time.Instead of blindly chasing scalability and endless growth, let's be honest about what we truly aim to achieve. There are alternative paths to success that don't necessarily involve earning more money. By focusing on quality over quantity, fostering genuine connections with clients, and prioritizing work-life balance, we can create fulfilling, sustainable businesses that align with our values and goals.Join me as I explore the overlooked benefits of non-scalability and advocate for a more nuanced approach to business success—one that values authenticity, integrity, and meaningful impact above all else.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

Welcome to our 26th episode in the monthly book discussion series hosted by Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and myself, Phil Svitek. If books are your passion, you've come to the right place!In this episode, we delve into The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. It is a first-person narrative novel by Sherman Alexie, from the perspective of a Native American teenager, Arnold Spirit Jr., also known as "Junior," a 14-year-old promising cartoonist. The book is about Junior's life on the Spokane Indian Reservation and his decision to go to a nearly all-white public high school away from the reservation. The graphic novel includes 65 comic illustrations that help further the plot.Although critically acclaimed, The Absolutely True Diary has also been the subject of controversy and has consistently appeared on the annual list of frequently challenged books since 2008, becoming the most frequently challenged book from 2010 to 2019. Controversy stems from how the novel describes alcohol, poverty, bullying, violence, sexuality and bulimia. As a result, a small collective of schools have challenged it, and some schools have blocked the book from distribution in school libraries or inclusion in the curricula.Join the conversation!

"Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV" is a docu-series that recently aired and has many people talking — for good reason. I recently finished up the series and after watching various reactions online, it got me thinking about all kinds of aspects. Much of them echo what many others have already shared, but this episode attempts to dive into new territory. The goal, in so much as there may be a goal, is to examine what brings about this culture, ask if the same culture exists elsewhere in kids TV, what can be done to prevent it, and so on. I did my best to articulate my thoughts. Please forgive me if I didn't express an idea in the most eloquent way and instead judge any ideas based on the spirit with which they were intended. Thank you and I look forward to your thoughts, too.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe! Yours truly,Phil SvitekFilmmaker, author, podcaster & 360 Creative Coachhttp://philsvitek.com

In my younger days I'd get upset if things weren't going "according to plan." This of course caused me stress and translated to other people I was working with, lowering their work as well. As I've grown older, I've learned to have more grace and handle situations tactfully, as needed based on the circumstances at hand. This mini-episode shares some examples of how it's manifested itself in my work life.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

While I'm not a legal expert and I certainly advise you to always have a lawyer look over any contract you sign, I did want to share an overall piece of advice that has benefited me—whenever possible, look to make things as equal as possible within the language. For example, if there's a copyright clause, a confidentiality clause, etc then all those should apply to the client and you exactly the same. There shouldn't be more protective language for the client and yours be weak (aka minimal protections). I've seen contracts where I would be held so liable if I said anything negative about the client but none of that was in place to protect me from the client saying anything about me. That doesn't work for me and it doesn't have to work for you!Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

In this thought-provoking episode, I delve into the wisdom of Tim Ferriss and how his unconventional approach to learning sparked a paradigm shift in my own journey. Inspired by Ferriss' mindset of investing in experiences rather than traditional education, I recount how I applied a similar philosophy when embarking on my first feature film endeavor. By adopting a mindset where failure equated to a valuable lesson rather than a loss, I embraced the opportunity to learn through action, resourcefulness, and resilience.Join me as I explore how this mindset transcends the realm of filmmaking, offering a blueprint for anyone seeking to pursue their passions and ventures with calculated risk and unwavering determination. Whether it's launching a business, mastering a new skill, or pursuing creative endeavors, the philosophy of investing in experiential learning is a transformative force waiting to be unleashed.

As indie filmmakers, we often talk about the benefits of crowdfunding and strategies to have a successful campaign. But many overlook the benefits of crowdsourcing for their indie film. You can crowdsource many different things: props, costumes, equipment, locations, etc. By doing this, it reduces your costs and therefore the money you need to raise. So why not do it?

Welcome to our 24th episode in the monthly book discussion series hosted by Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and myself, Phil Svitek. If books are your passion, you've come to the right place!In this episode, we delve into This Earth of Mankind by Pramoedya Ananta Toer which is the first book in his epic quartet called Buru Quartet, first published by Hasta Mitra in 1980. The story is set at the end of the Dutch colonial rule and was written while Pramoedya was imprisoned on the political island prison of Buru in eastern Indonesia. The story was first narrated verbally to Pramoedya's fellow prisoners in 1973 because he did not get permission to write. The story spread through all the inmates until 1975 when Pramoedya was finally granted permission to write the detailed story.The central character and the narrator of This Earth of Mankind is a Javanese boy, Minke, who is fortunate to attend an elite Dutch school because he is a descendant of Javanese royalty (the character is based on Tirto Adhi Soerjo). Minke faces a complex and dangerous world when he meets Nyai Ontosoroh, a njai or concubine of a Dutch man. Minke's life becomes more dangerous when he falls in love with Annelies, the beautiful Indo daughter of Nyai Ontosoroh. In This Earth of Mankind, Pramoedya portrayed the unjust life of the Indonesian people during the Dutch colonization period when social status was governed by the amount of European blood running through their veins. Pramoedya characterized Minke as an outspoken person, who refuses this hierarchical society by becoming a writer instead of a speech-maker, which bears a resemblance to Pramoedya's life who was jailed for two years after carrying anti-Dutch documents and then became a writer.Join the conversation!

Welcome to our 23rd episode in the monthly book discussion series hosted by Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and myself, Phil Svitek. If books are your passion, you've come to the right place!In this episode, we delve into Fredrik Backman’s Anxious People where looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything, from where they want to live to how they met in the first place. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world.Each of them carries a lifetime of grievances, hurts, secrets, and passions that are ready to boil over. None of them is entirely who they appear to be. And all of them—the bank robber included—desperately crave some sort of rescue. As the authorities and the media surround the premises these reluctant allies will reveal surprising truths about themselves and set in motion a chain of events so unexpected that even they can hardly explain what happens next.Join the conversation! Share your thoughts, queries, and viewpoints in the comments or connect with Marisa (@serafinitv) and me on social media.In our upcoming discussion, we'll explore This Earth of Mankind by Pramoedya Ananta Toer.And be sure to catch Marisa's new podcast, "Friends & Favorites w/Marisa Serafini," available at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/friends-and-favorites-w-marisa-serafini/id1693327509.Thank you for tuning in, and we're eager to hear your thoughts on this captivating book!Yours truly,

Delve into the profound insights of legendary music producer Rick Rubin as he emphasizes the importance of putting the audience last in the creative process. In this exploration, we unravel Rubin's perspective on why prioritizing the audience can stifle creativity and result in flat and uninspiring works of art.Discover the essence of Rubin's message – that genuine art must have heart. Uncover the pitfalls of creating solely for the audience, as opposed to crafting a piece with a deep and authentic connection. Rubin contrasts commissioned works driven by studios' demands with visionary projects, citing examples like Peter Jackson's commitment to bringing Tolkien's world to life on the big screen.Join us in understanding how focusing on the audience can lead to art born out of fear rather than creativity. Learn why, according to Rubin, true artistic expression requires an unwavering commitment to the core of the creation – a passion that goes beyond audience expectations.If you're curious about the intersection of creativity and audience connection, this exploration of Rick Rubin's philosophy is a must-watch. Gain insights that may reshape your understanding of the creative process and the profound impact of putting the audience last.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

I've been absent for most of 2024. But sadly, it's not because I've been working diligently on my longer term projects. It's because after 4 years of managing to avoid Covid, it finally hit me. And it hit me hard. That's why this vlog is a short update for you. I'm still not 100%, but I'm back to getting work done. Therefore, I aim to have new, meaningful episodes for you sometime next week. Thank you for your patience. Stay healthy out there! Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

In this thought-provoking episode, I dive into the societal trend of individualizing responsibility, especially when it comes to substances like alcohol and tobacco. Why do we often place the burden on individuals rather than addressing the collective impact of these substances? Join the conversation as I explore the need for a paradigm shift in our approach to responsibility, extending beyond personal blame to foster a healthier society. Share your thoughts in the comments and let's work towards a more informed and compassionate perspective together.

Ever found yourself engrossed in a deeply emotional movie scene, only to have it punctuated by a sudden joke at the end? Join the conversation as I explore the growing trend in cinema where heartfelt moments are often undercut by humor. Why is this happening? Do filmmakers assume we're too cynical for sincerity, or is there a deeper storytelling strategy at play? Share your thoughts on this cinematic trend in the comments below. Do you notice it, and does it bother you? Let's discuss!
Yours truly,

In the unpredictable world of artistic careers, the traditional career ladder might not be the key to lasting success. Join the conversation as I explore the importance of shifting your focus towards building assets instead. Assets are your timeless creations, always ready for the world to discover.

Have you ever been told it's okay not to have an opinion? In this video, I argue that most of the time, not only shouldn't you, but you can't afford to! Saying "I don't know" can eliminate your own limiting beliefs. For instance, a mentor once said, "The guy on the bar still wants to keep you on the bar." Sounds like a made-up belief, right?Join me as we explore the noble yet potentially untrue nature of thoughts. Judgments and opinions are what our egos thrive on, whether they hold any truth or not. Even when armed with evidence, much like Hollywood's attempts to predict successful movies, we often find ourselves in the dark until the results are in—think elections and Schrödinger's cat.Learn to adopt the principle of waiting for results before forming conclusions. Embrace the power of "I don't know" and liberate yourself from the shackles of limiting beliefs. It's time to question, observe, and break free!

In this thought-provoking episode, I delve into a bold idea: advocating for CEO pay to be only 10% higher than the lowest paid employee. Yes, it might sound drastic and challenging, but the goal is to spark conversations about reshaping work environments for the better. Even if it seems unrealistic or a mere exercise in futility, change often starts with daring ideas. I've witnessed companies successfully democratizing their structures, offering a glimpse of what's possible. Join me in pushing the boundaries of workplace norms and envisioning a future where fairness and equality are at the forefront. Let's fuel the dialogue on creating more equitable and inclusive work environments. Share your thoughts in the comments below and let's drive the workplace revolution together! Yours truly,

Welcome to our 22nd episode in the monthly book discussion series hosted by Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and myself, Phil Svitek. If books are your passion, you've come to the right place!In this episode, we delve into John Grisham’s Skipping Christmas, where it imagines a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That’s just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they’ll skip the holiday altogether. Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty, they won’t be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash, they aren’t even going to have a tree. They won’t need one, because come December 25 they’re setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences—and isn’t half as easy as they’d imagined.Join the conversation! Share your thoughts, queries, and viewpoints in the comments or connect with Marisa (@serafinitv) and me on social media.In our upcoming discussion, we'll explore Anxious People by Fredrik Backman.And be sure to catch Marisa's new podcast, "Friends & Favorites w/Marisa Serafini," available at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/friends-and-favorites-w-marisa-serafini/id1693327509.For more insightful resources from your 360 creative coach, visit my website at http://philsvitek.com.Thank you for tuning in, and we're eager to hear your thoughts on this captivating book!

In today's episode, I delve into the destructive nature of victimhood, exploring how it strips away your sense of agency and control. Even in challenging situations, Viktor Frankl's 'Man's Search For Meaning' teaches us that while control may be limited, our power to choose is always present.Discover the transformative impact of recognizing your choices even in seemingly dire circumstances. If you've experienced the weight of victimhood, or if you resonate with the empowering message of taking control, share your thoughts in the comments below.

In this video, I explore a crucial aspect of seeking advice for creative projects. While feedback from the audience is valuable, the essence of process and methods should come from practitioners – those who've been in the trenches creating.It may sound like basic advice, but it's surprising how many coaches and consultants offer insights without hands-on experience. Learning from books is essential, but there's unmatched wisdom when advice is rooted in direct experience. Join me in this discussion about the importance of learning from the source rather than through filtered lenses. If you resonate with this perspective, share your thoughts in the comments below. Let's elevate our creative journeys together!

In a world weighed down by its challenges, finding solace in art becomes a powerful way to make sense of the complexities and experience catharsis. Join me in this episode as we delve into Charles Bukowski’s haunting poem, 'Dinosauria We.' This chilling piece serves as both a forewarning and a stark reflection of the fears and realities many of us grapple with.While it doesn't provide solutions to the world's problems, the poem prompts deep reflection and fosters a connection to those who share similar sentiments. In sharing this impactful work, we acknowledge the importance of collective introspection and the potential to prevent the dystopian future it portrays. The responsibility lies with us, and by discussing this poem, we contribute to the ongoing dialogue about the world we want to create.Let's explore the profound impact of 'Dinosauria We' and discuss the ways it encourages reflection and inspires action. Together, we can navigate the complexities of our world and strive for a future that aligns with our shared vision.

Join me as I delve into a common struggle faced by artists near the culmination of their projects—the Last 20% Syndrome. Every artist, including myself, encounters this hurdle, a phase where you're almost at the finish line, yet the remaining tasks seem tiresome and mind-numbing.In this video, I discuss how this syndrome arises as artists approach the conclusion of their creative endeavors. It's that crucial moment when the groundwork is laid, and you're left with the meticulous and often less glamorous execution. Whether it's the final grammar edit in writing or refining the narrative in a film, this stage can be daunting and often neglected by up and coming artists.I share a recent experience working with a documentary filmmaker grappling with a nearly complete project filled with remarkable moments but marred by elements confusing the narrative. While artists may resist this last stretch, it's a vital phase, particularly for those aiming to capture audience attention beyond mere hobbyists.Grinding through this final 20% of the creative process is essential for aspiring artists seeking success with their audience. Understanding and embracing this phase could transform the experience and make it more enjoyable over time. While I admit I'm still learning, each project brings me closer to embracing this essential part of the artistic journey.Join me as we explore and understand the Last 20% Syndrome, its significance in artistic endeavors, and the pursuit of completing and perfecting our creative works.Don't forget to comment, like, share, and subscribe!

In this episode, I raise a genuine question that's been on my mind and possibly on yours too: Why don't libraries offer more streaming shows to the public, given their role as custodians of knowledge and resources?Libraries have transformed over time, adapting to digital advancements by providing e-books, audiobooks, and even introducing platforms like Kanopy for streaming movies and TV shows. However, despite these progressive steps, it's intriguing that not all streaming content is readily available through these platforms.The question arises: Why the limitation? Is it simply a matter of studios being reluctant to share their entire catalog, possibly driven by a motive of profit and subscription-based services? Is it solely greed motivating this practice?I'm genuinely open to exploring alternative reasons or explanations if they exist. Could there be other factors contributing to this discrepancy? And more importantly, why do we, as consumers and users of these platforms, accept such limitations if it is indeed driven by profit motives?Join me in this reflection and discussion and let's ponder and share our perspectives on this intriguing topic, examining the dynamics between content access, profit motives, and the public's right to information and entertainment. Your insights and thoughts on this matter are greatly appreciated as we explore this ongoing debate.

Are you guilty of having too many tabs open on Google Chrome, contributing to unnecessary processing and slowing down your computer? Even with efforts to limit tabs, they accumulate, leading to potential performance issues. Google recognized this and introduced a solution—tab hibernation. This feature automatically puts unused tabs to sleep, reducing system strain. But what about those crucial tabs you want to keep active?In this video, I discuss the practical implications of Chrome's tab sleep mode and the impact it can have, especially when dealing with file uploads. For instance, consider scenarios like batch uploading files or leaving your computer to process tasks overnight. Personally, I often leave my computer running to upload episodes, hoping to find them completed by morning. However, with Chrome's tab sleep function, these vital tasks might get disrupted, resulting in incomplete uploads.But fear not! I've found a solution to ensure that your essential tabs, like ongoing file uploads, stay active despite Chrome's default tab sleep settings. Join me as I share a workaround to prevent specific tabs from entering sleep mode, maintaining their functionality and allowing your uploads or important tasks to continue uninterrupted.Discover a simple yet effective way to manage tab sleep settings, ensuring that your critical processes remain undisturbed. Let's optimize Chrome's efficiency together and overcome the challenges posed by tab hibernation for seamless and uninterrupted tasks. Don't let Chrome's update hinder your productivity—learn the solution to keep your important tabs awake and active.

Welcome to an insightful episode diving into the layers of dialogue essential for engaging storytelling in both novels and screenplays. Join me as I discuss the three crucial levels every dialogue should encompass to avoid being on the nose and to keep your audience captivated.We explore:1) What’s said: Characters' explicit dialogue, the surface-level words spoken to achieve their immediate goals, big or small.2) What’s behind what’s said: Delving deeper beneath the spoken words, uncovering the hidden intentions and manipulative nuances within conversations.3) What’s untold: Beyond the immediate dialogue, discovering the subconscious motivations buried within characters' desires, often unknown even to the characters themselves.Utilizing an example like "Aren’t I a good friend to you?" we unravel how this seemingly innocent question can harbor multiple layers of meaning. From a straightforward query to a hidden plea for a favor, and ultimately, an expression of the fear of loneliness buried in the character's subconscious.And after watching, I challenge you to craft your own dialogue lines to explore the hidden depths beyond the spoken words. Share your lines and their multifaceted meanings in the comments below, allowing us all to engage in this enriching writing exercise together.More importantly, I hope this helps your writing.

Welcome back to another week of my vlog, where I share insights into my creative journey, aiming to inspire and provide actionable takeaways for all of you. This week, I've made significant headway with my upcoming movie's script. From bullet point #27 in the outline to #65, progress is evident, even though each point doesn't hold equal weight. With a total of 117 points, there's still a substantial portion to cover, but the detailed outline is proving invaluable in keeping story details at the forefront of my mind while I continue to churn out more pages.An intriguing thought that surfaced this week revolves around the possibility of transforming this lengthy script into a limited series. The concept stems from the idea of a 3-hour movie with potential intermissions, but ultimately, considering the trilogy concept, why not divide it into three seasons, each consisting of two episodes? While it's a fun concept to ponder, it's not yet set in stone. The project will undoubtedly take the shape it requires.While my primary focus remains on the script, I've also been contemplating updating the pitch deck, albeit considering this post-script version. Additionally, I've been collaborating on a filmmaking how-to book with a ghostwriter, while my second novel and a short film project have taken a backseat for the time being.This week involved an extensive consultation on a documentary, a project where the creative journey has been fulfilling for the artist but requires that final 20% of work left to resonate with audiences. Cutting down the documentary to make it accessible for audiences has been challenging for the artist, a common struggle of letting go of beloved content for the sake of the project's coherence.I stumbled upon an intriguing TikTok tutorial utilizing AI for video creation (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8kHhVLa/), prompting contemplation about the balance between AI tools and their potential misuse as shortcuts to success.Moreover, I discuss the value of transparency in life, mentioning the openness of sharing a therapy session with a friend and the transformative experience it offered, advocating for radical transparency to address societal problems.Finally, I touch upon the unsettling trend of job expectations pushing employees to clear work ahead of vacations and the habit of elongating shows beyond their prime.Join me in this diverse discussion encompassing creative endeavors, personal insights, and societal observations. Your thoughts and engagement are always welcomed. Stay inspired and keep creating!PS: Here’s Diamond the foster dog’s info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMZS0hYAb7Y

While many would find this blasphemous, I find there are many benefits of listening to podcasts at 1.4x speed. It's not exactly twice the speed, but it's definitely faster than the standard pace. I find this approach particularly advantageous because it enables me to consume a greater number of podcasts in a shorter time frame. More importantly, I've noticed that I retain information more effectively using this method. You see, many speakers tend to be verbose and include pauses in their conversations. By increasing the playback speed, I can connect with the ideas more rapidly and maintain engagement throughout the podcast.I’ve taken this time-saving principle and applied it to the podcast editing process. I’ll guide you through the setup of Adobe Audition's audio editing software to achieve the ideal playback speed, ensuring that you can work efficiently. By default, increasing the playback speed often results in that infamous chipmunk effect, making the audio unintelligible. My method, on the other hand, allows you to listen faster while still comprehending the content.And while some may physically stretch the audio to speed it up, this method can cause timing issues during edits, forcing you to rework the entire episode. My approach eliminates this hassle. BTW, here's the prior episode I made about my podcast methodology: https://youtu.be/CPTeDsvjBI8Unlock the potential of streamlined podcast editing in this episode. If you've ever wondered how to optimize your podcast production, this guide is a must. Leave your thoughts and questions in the comments, and let's dive into the world of efficient podcasting!

In this concise yet invaluable lesson, I delve into the fundamentals of lavalier microphone placement to ensure it captures a person's voice with utmost clarity. While it may seem like second nature to some, it's surprising how often even seasoned professionals miss the mark. This is particularly common among podcasters who rely on lavalier microphones for their session recordings.If you found this tutorial beneficial and would like a comprehensive exploration of the best practices for lavalier microphones, don't hesitate to let me know in the comments below. Your feedback and suggestions drive the content I create, and I’m more than eager to dive deeper into this topic in future episodes. So, stay tuned, and let's master the art of pristine voice recording together!Don't forget to like, comment, share and subscribe if you haven't yet!

Welcome to the final step in our website development series! If you missed any of the previous steps, you can catch up by checking out the playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd-Q6qZNFcQ8zDLRFbI6j-dwljQN0lcgE.In a nutshell, we've covered a lot in this series. Step one was all about outlining your website, step two involved transferring those ideas onto a blank website, and step three was about refining the design to match your vision.Now, in step 4, we're crossing the finish line. This episode isn't specific to any website platform like Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress. Instead, it provides a broad perspective on the process. While there are countless step-by-step tutorials out there, not many take a holistic approach. This step is often the most trial-and-error phase of the entire process.In this episode, I'll share the challenges I encountered and how I overcame them, including:- Creating contact forms, from simple to more complex ones.- Embedding YouTube playlists instead of single videos.- Ensuring the mobile version of the website looks just as polished.- Maintaining consistency throughout all pages.- Optimizing each page for a tidy appearance and faster loading.- Ensuring all buttons work as intended.- Integrating a sign-up form for my Substack newsletter at http://philsvitek.substack.com.- Making last-minute adjustments to improve the website (for me, it was adding an Altruism page).- Finalizing all the necessary photos and assets.- Revising elements that seemed good in one section but were excessive for the rest (in my case, it was my gallery of people).I hope this mini-series has guided you in approaching your website development or revamp. If you're just starting out, keep it simple with a portfolio, a bio, and a contact page. As you gain confidence in website design, you can expand your site. Remember, there are plenty of fantastic tutorials on platforms like YouTube, and Google is your friend when you have questions. BTW, here's the WordPress Elementor Tutorial that I watched: https://youtu.be/NdGfSifOPu4?si=yGDVyvAvu1iy3msf.You can also find skilled professionals to help you on platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, or Codeable (this one is only if you're using WordPress). Feel free to leave your questions and thoughts in the comments, and don't forget to subscribe for more helpful content. Lastly, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could explore my finished and polished website at http://philsvitek.com. There's a wealth of resources and information waiting for you, all intended to assist you in various ways. Thanks you!RESOURCES/LINKS:

In this vlog, I'm sharing the delicate balancing act of managing my growing workload and pushing my website revamp over the finish line. Work has ramped up, leaving me with limited time for my own projects. Still, I've managed to keep all the balls in the air.This week marked the fourth week of my website revamp, and although there were no impending consequences if I didn't finish, I was eager to check it off my list. I prioritized work tasks at the beginning of the week and, as they wrapped up towards the end, I dedicated substantial hours to the website project. It took late nights and early mornings, but it's finally done, with a new addition: an "Altruism" page to highlight meaningful causes and charities.Before this, I had to manually upload episodes each week, but now, it's all streamlined. I'm excited to share it with you all. For a comprehensive look at the web development process, check out my series here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd-Q6qZNFcQ8zDLRFbI6j-dwljQN0lcgE.Switching gears, I've made good progress on "The Arbiters" script, thanks to the outline I completed last week. Writing takes time, and it's easy to underestimate how time-consuming it can be. I'm now on bullet point #28 of #117 in the outline, so there's still work ahead.You can find minor details about "The Arbiters" on my website, and for exclusive behind-the-scenes access, consider joining my Patreon at http://patreon.com/philsvitek, where we also have monthly group coaching sessions.Regarding my personal reel, I've temporarily paused on editing it to focus on website development and scriptwriting. However, I did share individual testimonials, which have attracted attention and found their way onto my website. It's all about making the most of content in various ways, as Gary Vee often emphasizes.On a different note, I believe we should prioritize building parks and community spaces rather than more hospitals. I also tested T-Mobile's internet, hoping to save money, but the download speeds weren't up to par. For entertainment, I watched "Super Pumped," a Showtime series on the rise and fall of former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, now on Netflix. It raises questions about whether the ends justify the means, a topic explored in shows like this and others (e.g., WeWork). We often assume that certain actions modernized the world, but do we truly consider the alternatives?These are the thoughts and activities that have kept me busy this week. As always, feel free to leave your comments, suggestions for future topics, and don't forget to like and subscribe if you haven't already.

In a world where social media often dictates our need to document every experience, it's crucial to reflect on a simple yet profound truth. As said in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” "If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it."In this episode, we delve into the captivating concept of cherishing life's unfiltered moments. The magic of these instances lies in their fleeting nature. By not immediately reaching for our phones to capture and share, we allow these experiences to become more special, like hidden gems in our memory vault.When we choose to stay present and savor the moment, whether it's a heartfelt conversation with a friend or a beautiful sunset, we fortify the bonds that make life truly exceptional. The key, it seems, is to share on our terms rather than being dictated by the algorithms' demands.Join me on this journey of rediscovering the beauty of life's fleeting moments and celebrating the power of presence over the lens. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most magical moments are best enjoyed without the distraction of a camera, so we can truly stay in them.Don't forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe if you enjoyed this!

In this episode, I delve into a deeply sensitive and polarizing topic – the ongoing crisis and conflict in Israel and Gaza. I always try to approach such matters with care and thoughtfulness, aiming to contribute to the conversation with perspective, hope, and a path forward, no matter how daunting it may seem in the moment.While I may not have all the answers or express everything perfectly, I want you to understand the sincere intent behind my words and thoughts. My ultimate goal is to work towards a place of peace and to explore solutions that might not be immediately obvious.Join me in this reflective conversation, where we strive to foster understanding, empathy, and a shared vision of a better future.

I've harnessed the power of financial literacy, thanks to the Financially Fit Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to teaching essential money management skills. Their approach has been a game-changer in my financial life, and I owe a big part of my financial stability to their method.While their full method is detailed in their book, "SAVE Yourself" (available here: https://www.amazon.com/-/en/Chelsea-Galicia-ebook/dp/B086WQYM14/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_es_US=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&dchild=1&keywords=chelsea+galicia&qid=1622233741&sr=8-1), I want to focus on a practical aspect that has revolutionized my budgeting process. I'll walk you through the steps of taking a bank statement in PDF format and converting it into an Excel spreadsheet.By doing this, I can categorize and break down each purchase, making my budgeting process far more accessible and understandable quickly. Whether it's expenses related to auto, medical bills, or any other category, you'll see how this simple method can empower you to take control of your finances.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more lessons like this.

I'm thrilled to share some exciting updates. First and foremost, I've just wrapped up the revisions on my forthcoming film, "The Arbiters." After a month of intense work on the script's outline, I now have a detailed 59-page blueprint to guide me through the next stage of scriptwriting.But there's more! I had the privilege of being a guest on a friend's podcast, where we had a thought-provoking discussion about creativity. You can check out the episode here: https://youtu.be/H9HuR4srxBw?si=i_WETGSja1vmZe8b. It was a fantastic opportunity to reflect on my creative process and share insights with a wider audience.This experience got me thinking about the importance of creativity, even during challenging times. Whether our art reflects the world's ups and downs, it plays a crucial role in processing our experiences and sharing hope. There's always a lot to explore and express through creativity.A significant part of my week was dedicated to Goop, which was celebrating its 15th anniversary. I had the honor of asking a question during Gwyneth Paltrow's big AMA episode. Being part of the Goop Podcast team is a privilege, and I'm grateful. I truly enjoy the people I get to work with on the show, which is exactly why I attended Cleo Wade's Remember Love Book Tour in Los Angeles. She’s a co-host on the Goop Podcast and I wasn’t required to go, but I wanted to support. It was a magical night filled with tears and laughter, strengthening the beautiful community Cleo has built.My website revamp is an ongoing project, focusing on making necessary adjustments to ensure it functions perfectly and looks its best, with high-quality photos and more.For my Patreon supporters, we had a fantastic coaching session this weekend. If you haven't joined yet, you're welcome to become a Patreon member at patreon.com/PhilSvitek for exclusive content and direct interaction with me.Speaking of coaching, I recently had the opportunity to help someone improve their podcast's audio quality. It was a delicate situation, as the recording team were professionals and my advice was unsolicited. Still, I crafted a helpful and disarming message, and the feedback was positive. Sometimes, a small suggestion can make a big difference if handled right.I also touched upon The Rock's recent apology for the Maui incident and discussed the importance of amplifying existing organizations rather than starting new ones. The financial impact of being financially strapped was another topic I delved into, emphasizing how every little bit helps, especially for those with less.I shared a fascinating statistic about indigenous people and their role in protecting biodiversity. Plus, an update on Diamond, my foster dog, and my thoughts on organizing an adoption fair for her. BTW, here’s info on her if you’d like to see her and share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMZS0hYAb7Y.Then, I shared my concerns about a dear friend experiencing headaches and explored the connection between mental and physical health. Could therapy hold the key to resolving these issues?And finally, the idea of intermissions in long movies got me thinking. Imagine having a break to refresh, use the restroom, and grab some snacks during epic films.

As artists, we're well aware of the importance of branding and marketing ourselves to the outside world, especially when it comes to landing jobs and opportunities. However, there's one crucial aspect of self-promotion that often gets overlooked – testimonials.Testimonials can be a game-changer for your career. Just like companies showcase customer or client reviews, we, as artists, can benefit from the power of testimonials. But why do we tend to shy away from asking for them? The truth is, testimonials are a potent tool because they feature someone else speaking about your skills and talents, instead of you promoting yourself. So, it's time to be bold and ask for those valuable video clips from people who have experienced your work.What's even more exciting is that these video testimonials can be repurposed into various forms of content, including audio, written text, and eye-catching graphics, not to mention perfect bite-sized video clips for your social media platforms. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to strengthen your brand and build trust in your artistic abilities. Tune in to learn how to harness the full potential of testimonials and take your career to new heights. And remember, it's not about bragging; it's about letting others do the talking for you!Like, share and subscribe if this lesson benefits you.

Don't stress too much about functionality at this point; that comes later in the process. My recommendation is to take the reins and handle as much as you can on your own. If you hit a roadblock, consider hiring a developer, but only after you've reviewed and fine-tuned everything yourself.Places to look for a developer: UpWork, Fiverr, CodeableOne of the key takeaways from this phase is to allow yourself ample review time.

In today's digital age, streaming platforms have taken center stage, but are they really the best way to enjoy your favorite TV shows and movies? In this episode, I explain why I'm an advocate of physical media, now more than ever.With streaming platforms, no TV show or movie seems safe. They can be pulled from the catalog at any moment, leaving you without access to your beloved content. Even if you "buy" a digital copy on platforms like YouTube, iTunes, or Amazon, you're only licensing it, and when that license expires, so does your access.Physical media offers a tangible way to ensure you can watch and rewatch your favorite content without the uncertainty of digital licensing. Join the conversation and share your thoughts on the future of media ownership in the digital era. Don't forget to subscribe for more! Lastly, check out http://philsvitek.com for more resources.
Embarking on the journey of self-discovery and enlightenment has revealed to me the profound challenge it presents. To attain enlightenment, one must be brutally honest with oneself, looking inward and ceasing to lay blame on external factors. While circumstances may be influenced by others, the ultimate responsibility for one's life rests within. This self-accountability is no easy feat and often involves confronting one's inner darkness and addressing karma.The encouraging news is that even during moments of dark thoughts, it's our actions that truly matter, not the passing negativity of the mind. This journey toward enlightenment begins with the realization that spirituality involves letting go of overthinking and trusting that the universe supports our path.However, many individuals tend to shy away from the depths of their inner darkness, preferring the surface-level aspects of spirituality. But why does darkness exist in our world? It serves as a catalyst, a wake-up call, urging us to seek the infinite light within.Lastly, I’ll explore the concept that one cannot simultaneously believe in karma and evil, shedding light on the intricate interplay between spiritual concepts and personal growth.Join me in this thought-provoking discussion on the challenges and revelations of the path to enlightenment.

Welcome to another exciting edition of my weekly vlog! In this episode, I'm thrilled to share with you the latest updates on my website revamp and the progress I've made on "The Arbiters," my ambitious animated film project. We'll delve into two key takeaways from my work on the project's outline, exploring the challenges of crafting a captivating ending and the creative solutions I've uncovered along the way.
But that's just the beginning of this eventful week. Join me as I take you on a journey through a wide array of experiences that range from in-person podcast recordings to my fascinating role as a videographer for The Recording Academy. I had the pleasure of capturing a discussion on tech and musicians with the LA Chapter, a delightful departure from my usual artistic circles. The event was both informative and enjoyable, offering insights into the world of music and technology.
Additionally, I'd like to share my involvement as a board member of the Financially Fit Foundation, an organization dedicated to imparting financial literacy and techniques to individuals. Leveraging my video production skills, I've been diligently working on packaging our seminars into video lessons. This ongoing project, while demanding, has been incredibly rewarding, as it promises to make a significant impact on people's lives. To learn more about the Financially Fit Foundation, visit financiallyfitfoundation.org.
Amid the hustle and bustle, I've found precious moments to update my Patreon page (http://patreon.com/philsvitek). Your support and engagement mean the world to me, and I encourage you to check it out.
On a heartfelt note, I continue my mission to find a forever home for Diamond, my wonderful German Shepherd mix foster dog. I've been tirelessly training her and reaching out to every possible network to find her a loving home. If you can help in any way, it would be greatly appreciated. You can watch a video about Diamond here: https://youtu.be/fMZS0hYAb7Y.
As the upcoming week promises to be less hectic, I'm eager to channel my energy into completing my website and tackling two video projects that have been patiently waiting for my attention. Despite my usual preference to finish one project before starting another, these two videos hold the promise of significant strides in my creative journey. I'll begin with a sizzle reel for myself that's been on the backburner for far too long. Following that, I'll wrap up the editing of a parody film school video that I filmed last October. In the meantime, I'll continue outlining "The Arbiters," allowing some time away to ponder solutions for the final act of the story.
Speaking of "The Arbiters," last week, I mentioned my quest to find innovative ways to film people speaking in different languages with real-time translation. Well, it seems I've stumbled upon a promising solution: Heygen AI.
Furthermore, I dive into the broader conversation about AI in art. I recognize that many artists have concerns about AI drawing from existing works, and I address this issue directly. It's essential to acknowledge that all works of art, to some extent, incorporate elements from others. I provide examples from the film industry, illustrating how even renowned filmmakers often borrow concepts from previous works.
Shifting gears, I touch upon the recent news of the WGA reaching a tentative agreement. I express my thoughts on the "Streaming Data Transparency" deal point, emphasizing the need for full transparency rather than mere confidentiality in the streaming industry. It's time to openly acknowledge the challenges faced by streaming platforms and work collectively to find solutions.
On a lighter note, I fulfill a long-standing item on my bucket list by attending a Tiesto concert.
Lastly, I address a significant and pressing issue in our nation's political landscape – aging out of politics.
Welcome back to the next step of my website design process! In the previous episode (if you missed it, catch up here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd-Q6qZNFcQ8zDLRFbI6j-dwljQN0lcgE), we discussed the initial stage of website development. Now, in this episode, we're diving into step two.In this phase, I'll guide you through the process of translating your ideas and text from your outline into an actual website. We're not focusing on visual flair just yet; instead, we'll familiarize ourselves with the website backend. Even if you're using templates, you might encounter issues like color discrepancies or spacing challenges. That's perfectly fine – the goal is to see how your content fits within the site structure.As you work through this step, don't forget to leave bold, ALL CAPS (and even italicized and underlined) notes to yourself or your developer within the web pages. These notes will help you identify what needs adjustment as you progress.Whether you're using Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress (like I do), this process is applicable. By the way, I host my site with WP Engine, a WordPress-focused hosting service. While this is not a paid endorsement, I appreciate their expertise in WordPress hosting.By default, WP Engine uses the popular theme called Genesis Blocks. You can find more information about it in these links:- Video 1: https://youtu.be/0O7Gx84kyXk?si=4NS21f1T9RqGf2nk- Video 2: https://youtu.be/4kEBbur8ct0?si=jnK5jsxwF6nmU_pzStay tuned for future episodes where we'll clean up our site and work on the visual flair.

In today's tech-driven world, it seems like everyone has something to say about NFTs but how many have actually dived in and experienced them firsthand?Let's face it: most people are just headline readers, and that's a problem. In this episode, I'm going to talk about why being a practitioner matters. I'll also discuss the current dip in NFTs, and while you might think I have a predictable answer, there's more to it than you might expect.I firmly believe that NFTs are here to stay, and not just for digital collectibles. Imagine a world where everyday contracts, from buying homes to insurance, are secured through NFTs. It's a game-changer. So, yes, that’s why I’m not worried that 95% of the current NFT projects out there are worthless.

In this vlog, I'm excited to catch you up on the latest developments in my creative journey, including the progress on my upcoming animated feature film. It's been quite the adventure so far, and I can't wait to share the details with you.🎥 Making Progress on My Animated Feature FilmI'll be sharing how I've been diligently working on the outline for my animated feature film. While I'm not quite back to writing the script, I've made significant headway in closing plot holes and elevating tensions. Join me as I discuss the process and the transformation of my original 16-page outline into a whopping 48 pages so far. 📝📽️ Dreaming of IMAXIn addition, I delve into my aspiration of turning this project into an IMAX movie. Why, you ask? Well, premium formats have a remarkable way of captivating audiences, and considering this project is animated, it begs the question: What sets it apart? I'm confident that as I delve deeper into this endeavor, I'll discover that the intricacies are more substantial than initially imagined. For instance, on the sound front, achieving the precision needed for ATOMS audio can be quite demanding. Nevertheless, why not aim for the stars and push the boundaries of what's possible? 🌠🌟🖥️ Revamping My WebsiteI originally planned to spend the last two days writing, but something compelled me to tackle a long-overdue task: updating my website. It had been on my mind for months, and I needed a sense of accomplishment. I had initially postponed it, planning to do it after finishing the script. However, I decided to reprioritize and revamp the website. While it's not finished, I've completed a significant phase and handed it over to a web designer. My process involves outlining the site, drafting the content, and then letting an expert handle the technical aspects. This approach saves both time and money. Stay tuned for more on my creative process! 💻✨📚 Exclusive Tutorial DetailsRegarding the tutorial, I'll briefly outline each step of my website process in this video and offer more comprehensive insights in upcoming episodes.

It was a special experience that I'll cherish.🌌 Exploring the EsotericIn a completely different direction, I delve into some profound thoughts and questions on enlightenment and self-discovery. From the disappointment of the ego to the concept of God, I share some intriguing perspectives that have been on my mind lately.🤔 Content Creation and Its ImpactIs content creation really just a form of entertainment, or does it hold the potential to make a meaningful impact?

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our 19th book is Hocus Pocus & The All-New Sequel, written by AW Jantha, and next month we'll be chatting about Lois Duncan's Stranger With My Face.What's Hocus Pocus & The All-New Sequel about? "Fans will be spellbound by a fresh retelling of the original film, followed by the all-new sequel that continues the story with the next generation of Salem teens.Shortly after moving from California to Salem, Massachusetts, Max Dennison finds himself in hot water when he accidentally releases a coven of witches, the Sanderson sisters, from the afterlife. Max, his sister, and his new friends (human and otherwise) must find a way to stop the witches from carrying out their evil plan and remaining on earth to torment Salem for all eternity.Twenty-five years later, Max and Allison’s seventeen-year-old daughter, Poppy, finds herself face-to-face with the Sanderson sisters in all their sinister glory. When Halloween celebrations don’t quite go as planned, it’s a race against time as Poppy and her friends fight to save her family and all of Salem from the witches’ latest vile scheme."Thanks for tuning in. As mentioned in the episode, check out our movie discussion of Hocus Pocus from years ago along with Sara Stretton— https://youtu.be/yGuHGCxAOdQ?si=yPOrFuW_DwuadsHs.

Hello, fellow content creators! 🎥 In today's video, I'm excited to share a game-changing update to my content creation process. Feel free to utilize any aspects of it if it helps you! In the past, I used to outline my episodes with a simple bullet point for the main subject, and I'd leave the title and description for later. However, I've since evolved my strategy. Now, I craft the entire description of the episode before I even pick up the camera.Why? Well, it helps me laser-focus on the core message I want to convey in each video. By putting my thoughts into words beforehand, I gain a deeper understanding of the content's purpose and direction.But that's just the beginning! I've taken it a step further by incorporating AI into my process. I use ChatGPT as a sounding board, pasting my description into it and asking it to generate a YouTube title and description. This invaluable AI perspective helps me fine-tune my message and get a clearer picture of what works and what needs adjustment.By the time I'm ready to film, I've had ample time to immerse myself in the episode's concept. Plus, I can use ChatGPT's generated content as a starting draft to craft a compelling title and description that truly captivate my audience.Join me on this journey of content creation optimization, and discover how this revamped process can elevate your episodes. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments below. Let's create content that truly resonates with our viewers! Also, feel free to hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

I wanted to shed light on an issue that plagues many aspiring YouTubers: the temptation to buy YouTube views. It might seem like a quick fix to boost your channel's visibility, but I'm here to tell you why it's a terrible idea and why you should steer clear of this unethical practice.1) Violation of YouTube's Terms of Service: Purchasing views is a direct violation of YouTube's rules. The consequences could range from losing views to channel termination.2) Low-Quality Engagement: Bought views often come from bots, offering no real interaction with your content.3) Risk of Penalization: YouTube can reduce your visibility in search results and recommendations if they detect artificial views.4) Damaged Credibility: Purchasing views can tarnish your reputation, making it hard to regain trust.5) Ineffective for Long-Term Growth: Organic engagement is what YouTube values most; purchased views won't lead to sustained success.6) Legal Consequences: Depending on your location, buying views may even break the law.7) Financial Loss: Scams are common in the view-buying industry, potentially wasting your hard-earned money.8) Devaluing Real Achievements: Buying views diminishes the significance of genuine milestones on your channel.9) Negative Audience Perception: Viewers and potential collaborators may avoid your channel if they suspect unethical tactics.10) Unpredictable Consequences: YouTube's policies are always evolving; you might face severe consequences down the road.Instead of taking shortcuts, focus on creating high-quality, engaging content that resonates with your audience. Authenticity and patience are the keys to long-term success on YouTube. Remember, the journey may be longer, but it's the most sustainable way to achieve your goals.

Hey there, fellow film enthusiasts! 🎬 In this episode, I delve into a captivating discussion sparked by a recent episode of the Team Deakins podcast (https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/bill-hader-actor-director-showrunner), where actor/director Bill Hader shared his thoughts on the intriguing concept of "covering a scene" versus "shooting a scene."Now, before we dive in, let me clarify something I added myself—covering a scene, in essence, means covering your ass (Bill Hader didn't use those exact words). It's when you're unsure of what the scene truly needs, so you capture a multitude of shots, hoping to figure it out later in post-production. On the flip side, shooting a scene implies a deliberate approach. You've meticulously planned it out, understanding the flow and purpose of each shot. This not only streamlines the process but also empowers actors to shine in their roles, knowing exactly how to play up each moment.I found this discussion deeply thought-provoking, and it prompted me to reflect on my own filmmaking process. Historically, I've favored using two cameras for the sake of speed, and I've been meticulous about shot lists. However, given my background in documentary filmmaking and the high-energy nature of my previous films, it wasn't about just "covering" scenes; it was a deliberate choice.But here's the exciting part—I'm embarking on my next project with a fresh perspective. I plan to shoot with only one camera, focusing on crafting each shot to be the absolute best it can be. This means exploring unique angles and ensuring every actor delivers their performance exactly as intended. That's the beauty of shooting a scene versus merely covering it.I hope this discussion inspires you to self-reflect on your own filmmaking process and consider how these concepts can elevate your craft.

Let's continue learning and growing as filmmakers together! 📽️Also, feel free to hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Hey there, fellow creators! 🎬 In today's episode, I'm going to give you an inside look at how I've been re-outlining my latest film project and making use of cutting-edge technology to supercharge my writing process.You might be wondering, "How can AI help with storytelling?" Well, I've been utilizing ChatGPT in a unique way. Instead of asking it to generate an entire outline for me, I've been drafting individual scenes, and here's where the magic happens. After finishing each scene, I toss it into ChatGPT, and it takes care of the nitty-gritty details like grammar, sentence structure, and more. This frees me up to focus on the creative aspects, like the plot and character development.Of course, it's not all smooth sailing. ChatGPT occasionally gets a little confused, adding unnecessary or incorrect elements to the scene. So, there's a bit of back-and-forth involved in refining the text. But, let me tell you, the time-saving benefits are worth it!Now, you might be wondering if I'm planning to publish this AI-assisted text as-is. The answer is no. It's not the finished product. Instead, it serves as a valuable shortcut for me to create an outline that I'll later use as a foundation for my final screenplay. The creative imagining is all mine, but ChatGPT helps me streamline the technical aspects.If you're a writer or filmmaker looking to boost your productivity and creativity, stick around! I'll walk you through my process and share some tips and tricks along the way. Don't forget to hit that like button, subscribe for more content, and leave your thoughts in the comments below.

In this vlog, I'm excited to provide you with an in-depth update on my latest film project. It's been quite a journey re-outlining the story, and I'll share both the challenges and successes I've encountered along the way. While revising has its perks, tackling those pesky plot holes has proven to be a formidable task.I had high hopes of completing the entire outline by the end of the week, but reality had other plans, and I only made it halfway. Nevertheless, I'm proud of the progress I've made and am determined to wrap it up in the coming week.But that's not all! Stick around as I dive into the magic of sharing art with others. I recently introduced a friend to the enchanting worlds of "Princess Mononoke" and "Your Name." It reminded me of the power of experiencing art through fresh eyes. Their reactions transported me back, making me feel like I was discovering these masterpieces for the first time.I'll also share some intriguing musings that have been on my mind lately. From the importance of knowing more plants and animals than celebrities and brands to the eerie real-life relevance of "The Dark Knight" quote, "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
And if that's not enough, stay tuned for a special mention of my friend's innovative Bravago hard seltzer drink line (@drinkbravago). It's a fascinating venture that deserves recognition!Lastly, I'll reveal the one word that I believe will define my 2024.

Whether you're an indie artists or an entrepreneur who just launched a start up, you have essentially two options: you can either learn something and do it yourself or you can pay someone to do it for you. There of course exists a spectrum within the two and there are trade offs along that entire spectrum (as there are with all things in life). However, you'd be surprised how many people don't want to spend the time learning something AND don't want to pay anyone else to do it. In fact, they expect that because of their talents, or their idea/product, people with line up to support them with labor and finances. That's not how it works. Certainly not initially. People generally come once they know it's proven and they can get a return. Fighting against this notion slows down artists' progress and makes them very unhappy. Don't be that way. Accept the reality and move accordingly. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Ken Napzok (@KenNapzok) has a wonderful notion that we shouldn't fear change, but rather we should find our place within change. Ever since I first heart this, I loved it because of how much sense it made and how applicable it is—or at least if you want to stop being anxious and/or grumpy. Embracing this principle gives you agency over your own life and allows you to be joyous no matter what.

After upgrading my home entertainment system, I had a major issue: the TV was crackling. I'd watch a show or movie and the screen would flash and there'd be a loud spark noise. I tried for weeks to resolve it by searching forums, speaking with tech support, and nothing was coming up. Then I finally stumbled onto the solution which fixed everything and so I wanted to share it with you so you can avoid the hassles I went through!

It's been a while since a proper update! Since I was driving a while, I figured why not use the opportunity to share what's been going on. Firstly, I talk about this shift within me where no longer do I need are to be revelatory. I can appreciate good execution, which has allowed me to enjoy more things. Secondly, I provide an update on my foster, Diamond, who is back in my care after a negative situation. (Here's more info on Diamond if you'd like to adopt her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMZS0hYAb7Y). As part of taking care of her, it was important for me to define my benchmarks for measuring progress. This applies to many things in life. After that, I share the creative progress I've made in my latest film project and how I've been utilizing ChatGPT to expedite part of the process. I end with some recommendations and small life updates. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

On a recent episode of Team Deakins (https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/ava-duvernay-writer-director), director Ava DuVernay shared how she hadn't watch dailies with her cast and crew before, citing that it always seemed too time consuming. Every indie filmmaker can most likely relate. I can. But her upcoming movie, Origin, was shot on 16mm film and dailies were a necessity. Being forced to watch them changed her entire perspective on the concept of watching dailies with the cast and crew to the point where she'll always do it moving forward. This inspired me to shatter my limiting belief that there's simply no time and to do the same moving forward. You should too!

"Focus on what matters." It's a simple piece of advice that many ignore. Why? Part of it is there's always a LOT going on and we get FOMO. Part of it could be a fear of success and our self sabotage. Who knows? But by not focusing on what matters, we can pulled any which way and aren't the driving force behind our art and projects. This does not yield the results we'd like. Certainly not on our preferred timeline. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

AI's garnered a lot of discussion. Rightfully so. One aspect that I don't hear talked about much is the idea that AI isn't a shortcut to fame and glory for an artist. One MUST still learn the fundamentals of whatever craft they're pursuing. Think of all the advancements in cameras. And yet, none of that matters if the user doesn't understand the basics of cinematography. Here's an example of an amateur with one of the best cameras vs a pro with a low quality camera: https://youtu.be/zSxIbZFsn-g?si=Sc2kDfOzAJHfTnqM.

There's a massive backlog in processing passports (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/16/us/politics/passport-processing-delays.html). I know too many people who'd already book travel and then went to renew their passport. Sometimes they got lucky and received their passport in time. Other times they had to cancel their plans. Don't let that be you! I have a simple life tip to make sure this never happens to you. And even if you're not planning on traveling anytime soon, isn't it great to have the option?

So many content creators, whether they're just starting off or are well into it, focus too much on monetizing their audience. Stop! And this isn't just advice from me.

Descript is a wonderful tool that helps editors (whether audio or video). I use it for podcasting all the time. Now, I've supercharged my use of it by creating a workflow where others can collaborate with me on it. The benefit of this is that any content edits they have for the podcast are automatically translated into Descript and by extension into my audio editing software (Adobe Audition in my case). I walk you through my process and methodology so you too can take advantage of this software. And while I focus on audio podcast production, much of what I share can easily be transferred to video editing as well for video essays, documentaries, etc. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our 18th book is Prodigal Summer, written by Barbara Kingsolver, and next month we'll be chatting about A. W. Jantha's Hocus Pocus & The All-New Sequel (yes, that's what it's called).
What's Prodigal Summer about?
"Prodigal Summer tells the story of a small town in Appalachia during a single, humid summer, when three interweaving stories of love, loss and family unfold against the backdrop of the lush wildness of Virginia mountains. The narrative follows Deanna, a solitary woman working as a park ranger; Lusa, a recently widowed entomologist at odds with her late farmer husband's tight-knit family; and Garnett, an old man who dreams of restoring the lineage of the extinct American Chestnut tree.
Kingsolver's extensive education in biology is on display in this book, laden with ecological concepts and biological facts. Her writing also exhibits her knowledge of rural Virginia, where she has lived for decades. In the acknowledgments Kingsolver thanks her Virginia friends and neighbors, as well as Fred Herbard of the American Chestnut Foundation."
Thanks for tuning in. Also, feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Also, check out Marisa's new podcast (Friends & Favorites w/Marisa Serafini) at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/friends-and-favorites-w-marisa-serafini/id1693327509.

For a while, I've been trying to get ChatGPT to spit out a time-coded summary of Peter Jackson's first Lord Of The Rings movie, The Fellowship Of The Ring. Specifically, the theatrical cut. And yet, it can't do that no matter how many times I've tried. I show you the results here, which springboards into highlighting why artificial intelligence has many pitfalls and we cannot rely on its information and results. Or at least not as much as some people would wish to do so. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

We've become very reliant on technology and think as it advances, it can't fail. Certainly, we look at "the cloud" as this mystical term that means our data is available all the time. However, that data is stored somewhere physically. Sure, it has redundancies to prevent loss, but it doesn't mean there's a zero chance of that happening. Climate change has a HUGE effect on technology, and this is but one of many potential issues (https://gizmodo.com/heat-waves-climate-change-data-center-server-shut-down-1849916741). In this episode, my aim is to make you aware of how climate change and resulting natural shifts and disasters can and will affect our daily technology. I don't wish to cause alarm, but rather to make us all informed so we can take the right measures to prevent these issues from happening. This is a subject that warrants a lot of deep diving and one day I hope to do just that. However, as mentioned, here, my goal is to get you thinking about the subject.

Podcasts are evolving, or at least what we perceive as podcasts even though many "podcasts" don't fall into the technical definition. Either way, as consumers adopt the term beyond the true meaning, so too are content creators trying to meet those demands. This has lead to a rise in "video podcasts." Many people strive to publish both audio and video podcasts. However, they think it's as simple as publishing the same thing across all platforms. Don't get me wrong, that is an option, but it has drawbacks. And that's why I try to present here—the nuances and differences between audio and video podcasts.

People have complained that Instagram is no longer the app that it once was. Some of that is of course the company driving "innovation," but it's also, and more so, based on how people choose to use the platform.

Screen Craft published a blog about a technique that filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki uses called "Ma" (https://bit.ly/47pD8kC). So what is it and how can it benefit you? To answer the 2nd part first, it allows the film to connect with audiences on a deeper, more psychological level. As to what it is, you'll have to check out the episode. Don't worry, I give plenty of examples to illustrate movies that have it (including Spirited Away) and movies that don't, including my own.

The US Women were eliminated in the round of 16 in the World Cup. That's a historic low for them. Meanwhile, the US Men have been trying to reach the ranks of other teams, yet haven't. As a soccer fan, I wanted to look back and examine what the current state of US soccer is and predict the future if it continues this way, and more importantly, what can be done about it.

Revision and editing are processes meant to enhance a writer's story. It clarifies, trims, and eliminates any plot holes or contradictions. One specific technique I've found that helps me during this phase of writing is to do a revision that's character-centric. This means I read the story from a character's perspective to see if there's any inconsistencies or ways to elevate what's there. I only read their scenes so as not to get distracted. And I do this for all the major characters. It's helped me tremendously. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our 17th book is Imagining Argentina, written by Lawrence Thornton, and next month we'll be chatting about Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer.
What's Imagining Argentina about?
"Cecilia, a dissident journalist in Buenos Aires, is kidnapped by the secret police, likely to join the ranks of the "disappeared." The city is the center of opposition to the military dictatorship during its Dirty War in the 1970s against opponents. Her husband Carlos, a theater director, searches frantically for her and others through "imagining" their fates in prisons and cells."
Thanks for tuning in. Also, feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Also, check out Marisa's new podcast (Friends & Favorites w/Marisa Serafini) at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/friends-and-favorites-w-marisa-serafini/id1693327509.

Max rebooted Project Greenlight and this relaunch focuses, under the guidance of Issa Rae as Executive Producer, on the next generation of diverse, up-and-coming talented female filmmakers who are given the chance to direct a feature film. In the first season that filmmaker is Meko Winbush. I've had a chance to watch the whole season and the film they made, called Gray Matter. As a fellow filmmaker, I wanted to share some of my thoughts. So check it out and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Also, you're welcome to check out the Variety article I referenced here: https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/project-greenlight-meko-winbush-directing-issa-rae-1235670646/, which includes what Meko thought of her mentors Issa, Kumail Nanjiani and The Woman King director Gina Prince-Bythewood.

My friend Danielle Robay (@DanielleRobay) hosted a dinner event where everyone in the room was asked "what do you need?" With the exception of one person, everyone answer correctly, albeit in selfish terms. Nothing wrong with that, except the one person who answered differently opened everyone's mind on how to reframe this question. That person answered that they needed help kids they were mentoring. I think about the core of that a lot and how it can be applied throughout life.

In another episode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw7QQZusq1o) I discussed a quote from John Wick 4 about friendships being meaningful when they aren't convenient. Here I expand that further through the lens of effort and reward in astronomical terms in order to strengthen connections and to true help people.

What's the alternative? That's a question I often ask myself in life and with my art. The reason I ask this is because even though the way in which I move forward is not the ideal way, "what's the alternative?" Often times, it's inaction. And this question has been top of mind in the past several days because I've been fostering a dog named Diamond (https://youtube.com/shorts/oKlKnf6tNZU). Meeting with some trainers, they make you feel so guilty for not giving a dog everything that may be needed. But the alternative in that case is either they're at the shelter or put down. I go through this instance as a way to really get at the core of what the question I pose is really about and how it applies to less dire facets of life.

Because it was the week of July 4th, I had decided a bit ago to take a mini get-away to Solvang with a friend of mine. Though it wasn't a true vacation, I was able to relax. I've also committed my time to train Diamond, my two year old German Shepard mix foster (https://www.laanimalservices.com/pet/a2080943). If you'd like to adopt her, let me know. Also, here's a wonderful video on how to help a dog with separation anxiety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr-qRKBCPUE. All in all, not much got done creatively. At least with my projects. I did fulfill my actual's job's duties. That's what I end this vlog on, which is discussing how we all need to have grace with ourselves. Most of us need a primary job to underwrite our creative projects. I'm no different. Hemingway was the same. Bukowski. We need to embrace it more.

I begin by talking about writing the second draft of my fantasy script and the first draft of my 2nd non fiction book (a filmmaking how to book). There's specifics I share about each process, but the similarity between both is the idea of testing ideas in the early stages where it's cheap to try things. After, I talk about fostering a sweet pup named Diamond (she is available for adoption), seeing the new Indiana Jones movie on Screen X and some of the incredible stories from director Matt Reeves on making Cloverfield (shared during his appearance on Team Deakins: https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/matt-reeves-director).

Nisa Ahmad is a Hollywood producer and a dear friend. Recently, she went viral with a TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@prettyrabid/video/7222066189420334379) that examined how the recession affect people's grocery shopping habits. I thought it was a very different perspective than what others were sharing, yet so obvious in hindsight. That's what makes great art (and artists) though—the ability to observe the word. Using this as a jumping off point, we discuss many topics including the state of Hollywood and its history of strikes, artificial intelligence, the OceanGate submarine incident and the great trends we should be aware of, etc. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

This vlog dives into the power of friendship. Sure, I begin with catching you up on a creative meeting I had. But even that showcases that in order to elevate your art, you need good feedback from people you trust. I also discuss how my friend Derrial Christon and I were tourists in our own city and how that deepened our friendship. (It also illustrates the importance of curiosity towards one's own neighborhood). Plus many other examples.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our 16th book is You, Me, U.S., written by Brigitte Bautista, and next month we'll be chatting about Lawrence Thornton's Imagining Argentina.
What's You, Me, U.S. about?
"Best friends Jo and Liza are as opposite as night and day. Sex worker Jo swears by the worry-free, one-day-at-a-time dance through life. Salesclerk Liza has big plans for her family's future, and there is nothing bigger than a one-way trip to the U.S. But an almost-kiss, a sex dare, and news of Liza's engagement to her American boyfriend unveil feelings Jo and Liza never thought they had. Deciding between staying together and drifting apart puts Liza's best-laid plans and Jo's laidback life in jeopardy. When love clashes with lifelong ambitions and family expectations, someone has to give in.Question is: who?"
Thanks for tuning in. Also, feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

This is clipped out of my vlog (https://philsvitek.com/script-rewrites-continue-grammys-event-radical-responsibility-ai-tools-more-6-19-2023-vlog/), where I talk briefly about AI. Namely, how artists should be dictating the use of its trajectory, not studios/companies. And, I also share an online directory that lists all of the AI tools available (http://futurepedia.io).

In this vlog, I catch you up on everything's that's been happening creatively and what I've been thinking about lately. But firstly, I inform you of two publications that interviewed me: ShoutOut LA (https://shoutoutla.com/meet-phil-svitek-filmmaker-producer-360-creative-coach/) & CanvasRebel (https://canvasrebel.com/meet-phil-svitek/). Secondly, I announce a special screening event for a movie that I'd love to see called "Lonely Castle In The Mirror" (https://gkids.com/films/lonely-castle-in-the-mirror/?gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw-b-kBhB-EiwA4fvKrKc7_RLjgW7hgld7ZPLcM96ACI_4Bh9Pn_cYgrwkhowrLccBF21AdBoCD_IQAvD_BwE). After that, we get into the nuts and bolts, as they say. I share how I'm keeping both the micro and macro in mind while rewriting my latest script. For full details on that process, check out: https://philsvitek.com/story-character-beat-sheet-to-track-plot-threads-motivations/. I talk about a fun event I went to put on by the Recording Academy, where I learned so much about music production in one day and met cool artists. Then, I reflect back on the one year anniversary of the premiere of A Bogota Trip. Shifting gears, I discuss the term "radical responsibility" (https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtfCqOtsrnK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) and how I'm thinking about it. Finally, I chat briefly about AI and share a directory website that lists all of the AI tools out there (https://www.futurepedia.io/).

I've been writing the most complex story I've ever attempted. Because of that, I need to constantly take a macro view of everything as I try to write the details of each scene. To help me out, I created a chronological story/character beat sheet that tracks plot threats and character motivations. If you're a fellow writer, it can serve you too.

This past week I received extensive notes on my first draft of an animated feature script. Thanks to those, I'm able to finally be at the place I wanted to be at for so long where now I can make the needed revisions at lightening speed. But it wouldn't be possible without all that foundation stuff. In additional, I also share a new routine I got into and my thoughts on why I think now is the best time to start a new film/TV studio.

Racism in football (aka soccer) is nothing new. Except in Spanish football it seems to be the norm, not the exemption. But Vini Jr from Real Madrid has shown he will not back down.

On a recent episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, he interviewed Kevin Kelly (https://tim.blog/2023/04/26/kevin-kelly-excellent-advice-for-living/). While there was plenty to learn and take away from their conversation, one thing that stood out in particular was Kevin's idea that to find success we shouldn't aim to be the best but rather to be the only one.

A lot of us have many "shoulds" in our life—things we know that would be good for us and therefore should do. And yet we don't. Why? Because they are "shoulds" NOT "musts". A must you will do.

Recently on Twitter, I saw a debate among filmmakers whether it's beneficial or not to show dailies and review footage on set. As is generally the case, it depends. But for me, my answer tends to be no. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Whenever you reach out to people (friends or strangers) you must be direct (which a define as clear and concise) with your ask. It may sound like simple advice, and yet you'd be surprised by how many people are so unclear and then wonder why they don't get the results they're seeking.

It's frustrating when you put in effort and don't always get the results you want. But that's the rub—you can put in the same effort, day-in, day-out and the outcome will be varied. Regardless, if you want to succeed with your creative projects, you have to fight on even on those days when it's not clicking. Because it will click. You will build momentum. Stay consistent.

I'm trying to get a draft done of my latest script. And to accomplish this, I told myself to "just write." Yes, to forget the quality of writing and simply to get words on the page as they can be revised later. That's mostly what I've been focused on and I've tuned out anything that may be a distraction, including going to the movies. Then I switch gears and talk about various ruminations I've had including survivor bias, how not everything has to be content or for a direct purpose other than enjoyment, some further thoughts on artificial intelligence and my thoughts on friendship and loyalty.

This past week I was reminded of a wonderful documentary about filmmaker Richard Linklater called Dream Is Destiny. The reason this came to mind was because so many people in his life doubted or belittled his work. And yet he kept going and his work resonates with many. I had someone disrespect my work and that's what triggered the recall of the documentary. Which speaks to a few things. One, don't let critics sway you. Two, look for evidence, like the documentary, of people succeeding in ways that you'd like to, doing it in ways that may appear odd. Beyond this, I talk about reuniting with friends and visiting Smorgasburg LA, continuing to work on my latest script and how it's different that the outline, and why I'm thinking it might be time to quit soccer.

As the BBC writes (https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20210329-do-maximisers-or-satisficers-make-better-decisions), "people tend to lean toward one of two categories: 'maximisers', who want to ensure they get the most out of the choices they make; and 'satisficers', who tend to adopt a ‘this is good enough’ approach." With James Gunn's latest Marvel film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, he presents an interesting warning about the dangers of extreme "maximizing." And that's what I explore in this spoiler episode, discussing the actions of the High Evolutionary and what cautions we should reflect upon in our own lives. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. And for more info on maximisers and satisficers, check out The Paradox of Choice (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=0060005688&tag=sivers-20).

This past week I had a chance to connect with various artists—some through networking events, others who reached out to me and one who I reached out to. I talk about the impact and lessons gained from those connections, especially how it reflects in my work. Then I give insights into the projects I've been working on: developing an animated feature, finishing a sizzle reel, and editing a long overdue parody video. Shifting gears after that, I discuss how every industry has scammers who taint the business, how I don't believe in writer's block (instead I share what it is and how to overcome it), the cognitive burden of free thinking, and the latest discoveries from therapy and why it's important to me.

He shared that he was able to shoot between 90 and 120 shots per day, as opposed to the convention 20-30 number. That's a lot! And thankfully he shared HOW we was able to accomplish this.

"A fool is happy when their cravings are satisfied. A warrior is happy without reason." That's a quote from The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman. It's an idea that's been a driving force for me and one that seems to confuse many people around me because often times the benefits of my actions aren't apparent to them. The irony is that the more you do from a place of joy, the more success you'll have.

I've made some excellent progress with my latest film project, The Arbiters. It's in development and I've been working on the script. About halfway through the first draft, I decided to go back and polish what I had so far thanks to notes I'd written along the way for myself. That, and my collaborate and I met. He gave me excellent notes, which reinforced that what I had written only needed polishing, not a page one rewrite. That felt good. Also what helped me was studying all of Makoto Shinkai's early filmography—movies such as Children Who Chase Lost voices, 5 Centimeters Per Second, and The Place Promised in Our Early Days). I also talk about work I've been doing with the Financially Fit Foundation, a non-profit organization that I'm a part of. Outside of the creative stuff, I discuss how we all need to own 100% of 100% of every relationship we have because WE CREATE every relationship in our lives, with lovers, friends, family, coworkers, strangers, etc. I talk about my love for the Summer Movie Wager (http://summermoviewager.com). Lastly, I talk about my thoughts on human optimization and why I've personally slowed down on reading self help books.

It's a general principle that the more specific, clear and concise you are with any notes, the more likely you are to achieve your desired outcome. The same applies to AI tools such as MidJourney. Recently, I saw a post on Twitter (https://twitter.com/TheMouseCrypto/status/1645503795563044864?t=dOzxbQN7b1y5OgFPvh12IA&s=03) that was geared towards filmmakers on how they can add style and atmosphere to their images. Using that as a jumping off point, I walk you through the different results you can have simply by adding a point of reference. In this case a specific filmmaker.

Humans have a tendency to think how things are going is how they will always go, as if it's a linear line on a chart. But fails to account for so many factors. Using World Cup teams as examples, I share why you can't think this way. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Recently, I was reminded the importance of organization. And yes, it can take a good amount of time at the start to get everything in order, but it sets you up for success down the line. I share some stories of what can happen if you aren't. Then I share updates and lessons from three creative projects I'm working on: a sizzle reel, the first draft of a script for an animated trilogy called The Arbiters, and my second novel. Afterward, I talk about how easy it can be to be demoralized in this world but how you can choose to either be a victim or a creator.

In a hustle culture, relaxing is frowned upon. And yet history is full of examples of breakthroughs that never would have happened without moments of pause and rest. The most famous example is Sir Isaac Newton watching an apple fall. If you want to have breakthroughs and achieve success, you too need to take breaks.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our 14th book is Water For Elephants, written by Sara Gruen, and next month we'll be chatting about Carolyn See's Making History. What's Water For Elephants about? "When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, drifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her."Thanks for tuning in.

I loved Everything Everywhere All At Once from the first time that I saw it almost a year ago. It offered hope, which seems to be in short supply sometimes. In fact, there's one line, said by Waymond, that has stuck with me greatly: "When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It's how I learned to survive through everything." So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

It's been a while since I updated you on my creative projects! In this vlog, I get you up to speed, sharing all the statuses of my animated project (The Arbiters) including the NFT component, how my film A Bogota Trip is in the Austin Lift-Off Film Festival (http://Checkout.liftoff.network/features-austin-2023/), the chapters of my how-to film book, breakthroughs with my second novel (In Search of Sunrise), and filming a promo. I also share how I've gotten a chance to read a friend's latest script. And I highlight why I've haven't been able to do longer episodes such as this in the past few weeks, which includes onboarding new clients and editing footage of the Ultra Music Festival. As always, there's lots of lessons that I share from my own experiences that you can apply.

I've benefited from many mentors and that's why I try to pay it forward as well. However, one thing I'd like to share with those seeking out a mentor is that you still have to be willing to put in the work. A mentor speeds up your learning process by guiding you. But you have to walk the walk. The mentor cannot. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our 13th book is The World We Make, written by NK Jemisin, and next month we'll be chatting about Sara Gruen's Water For Elephants. What's The World We Make about? "Four-time Hugo Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author N.K. Jemisin crafts a glorious tale of identity, resistance, magic and myth.All is not well in the city that never sleeps. Even though the avatars of New York City have temporarily managed to stop the Woman in White from invading—and destroying the entire universe in the process—the mysterious capital "E" Enemy has more subtle powers at her disposal. A new candidate for mayor wielding the populist rhetoric of gentrification, xenophobia, and "law and order" may have what it takes to change the very nature of New York itself and take it down from the inside. In order to defeat him, and the Enemy who holds his purse strings, the avatars will have to join together with the other Great Cities of the world in order to bring her down for good and protect their world from complete destruction.N.K. Jemisin’s Great Cities Duology, which began with The City We Became and concludes with The World We Make, is a masterpiece of speculative fiction from one of the most important writers of her generation."Thanks for tuning in.

How you treat people when you fire them, or they voluntarily leave, is paramount to the success of your business or venture. Why? Because the employees that remain WILL take note, and it will shape how they work. That’s why I suggest utilizing Kim Scott’s “Radical Candor” method (https://www.radicalcandor.com/). And for specifics on letting people go, check out this episode of The Tim Ferriss Show with CEO Coach Matt Mochary (https://tim.blog/2023/03/01/matt-mochary/).

The common idea is that you have to own 100% of your half of any relationship. Noble in thought but false and thus hugely impactful, in a negative way, to our relationships. And this can be romantic ones, friendships, with family members, random people you meet in the street, etc. What we instead have to do is own 100% of the ENTIRE relationship.

Here's a piece of advice that can seem harsh and definitely hard to do—never believe the story. It doesn't matter if it's someone else's or your own. Though it may contain truths, it is not in fact THE truth. It's just a story. Now, if you're going to believe any story, it might as well. be a good one, as Don Miguel Ruiz teaches us. And if it's not, choose again on it, like Diederik Wolsak tells us to do, so you're not a victim.

We've become infinitely creative at coming up with ways to divide ourselves and because of that, I challenge us to focus on the similarities. And there are many, despite what we may believe. Loretta Ross reminds us of this. So does CEO Coach Matt Mochary (https://tim.blog/2023/03/01/matt-mochary/), among others.

If you're like me, you use journaling as a tool to explore your feelings and thoughts. Problem is, I only turn to this tool when I'm down, not when I'm happy. But it's equally as important to capture those thoughts of joy as it is during times of sadness.

I don’t like sunsets. They’re not special. To see a sunrise, one has to work for it. Plus, what they represent is more poetically uplifting—the dawn of a new day. A new chapter. A beginning to what will be.
That’s why I wake up every day in search of sunrise.
Maybe others have an easier time with it, but I never know quite where to look. My sense is that it’s easier to spot from up high, so that’s the general direction I go toward. At times I hit dead ends. I guess it’s harder to navigate when you can’t see.
Eventually I find a path that feels like it’d take me where I need to go. It’s hard though, a literal and metaphorical uphill battle. Sometimes, what makes it even harder is when one hasn’t quite let the pain of the past go. They say the rush of endorphins is supposed to make you happy or that you can’t cry if your body is using up the water for sweat instead of tears. Both are bullshit. But people say a lot of things that aren’t true.
What I know to be true for me, is that I don’t always get it right. Like now, I realize I’m chasing the moon to find the sun. Maybe I can still catch the sunrise if I hurry… Though it does seem too far away.
I guess there’s always tomorrow. That’s my hope—even if I can’t ever find the sunrise, I wish to have the will to not stop trying. Because I know the day that I do stop searching for the sunrise is when I’ll be staring at the sunset. And I don’t like those.
Being measured is often confused with being bold (or crazy). I know from firsthand experience. But I promise you much thought goes into my actions before I take the first step. I share this because in studying people that inspire me, this seems to be a similarity. Nothing is random. It’s calculated. Which is why it stings so bad when it doesn’t go the way intended. Here, I share a recent example from my life to help inspire you why you should think but also be brave enough to take the first step.

When you first sign up for MidJourney, you'll do so through their Discord server. It's a fantastic way to see other people's work and learn from the commands they're using so you can test it out for yourself. But as you become better, you'll want your own space to create images—if for no other reason than to be able to find your renderings much faster. This tutorial shows you how to do that.

Patience is a hard skill to master. Better yet, how does one begin to practice it? That's what I take a look at through the lens of my own personal and professional goals and challenges. I extract the lessons and ideas that you too can apply! As part of the discussion, I highlight Samantha Boardman's notion that we're great with macro stressors but no so good with micro ones (for more on this, listen to this episode: https://goop.com/the-goop-podcast/why-happiness-isnt-in-your-head/). Through my talking, I provide updates on writing my latest movie and how having a deadline will propel me forward (hopefully), and I share more AI tools I've been utilizing.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our 12th book is They Both Die At The End, written by Adam Silvera, and next month we'll be chatting about NK Jemisin's The World We Make.
What's They Both Die At The End about?
"On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They’re going to die today.
Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There’s an app for that. It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure—to live a lifetime in a single day."

In a recent episode of Pulling The Thread (https://www.eliseloehnen.com/episodes/dqjx3amgmcv0yqq913e18ganz0onza), host Elise Loehnen (@eliseloehnen) shares how her spiritual journey and overall curiosity towards life has allowed her to see what's available to her. That was an interesting notion especially used as a question to ask oneself: what is available to me? Though the actual answer is very nuanced, how we approach that can be split in half—a negative reaction or a positive one. In this vlog, I share my thought process navigating this question in light of personal and worldly events. Hint: it begins with awareness, for as Carl Jung said, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." I discuss the steps I'm taking to be an active participant in life, even if things don't go as initially intended and why that is a scary concept for most. Hopefully, these ideas allow you to move through life with more grace and ease as you too traverse various challenges. Plus, I discuss updates in my creative projects and how I'm utilizing ChatGPT and MidJourney as tools within my art.

I'd seen Parallel Mothers (starring Penelope Cruz) and fell in love with that movie. One tiny detail that elevated the story was a custom fade out technique. I took note of it and with my 2nd feature film (A Bogota Trip—https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuY24xrpQOg) I wanted incorporate something similar. I give a look as to how I went about achieving that.

With my 2nd feature film (A Bogota Trip—https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuY24xrpQOg) I wanted utilize a technique called the step print. Wong Kar-wai uses it heavily in films like Happy Together, Fallen Angels, In the Mood for Love, Chungking Express. And more recently, Everything Everywhere All At Once used it. What is the purpose behind it? That's what I discuss. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

When I played soccer, we used to do laps around the field. I noticed there were two types of people, those who saw the finish line and slowed down and those who finished strong.

As much as we'd all love to take shortcuts to complete a project, there simply are none. Sure, you can stand on the giants of those who came before you, but that still requires work. And for my money's worth, many artists hurt themselves by thinking there is an exact way to do something. Yes, there are best practices but in the end, whatever gets the job done is the right path. Don't believe me? I cite examples from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings to illustrate my points. I also explore this notion in the context of faith. Not a religious faith, but in venturing into the unknown and why honing your intuition is key.

Steven Pressfield's The War of Art is all about combating Resistance in our creative work. One such aspect of resistance shows up during first drafts (whether in music, writing, video editing, etc). It's the voice that tells us the word we wrote could be better. It tells us that edit could be finesses better. It's trying to get us into the weeds of it all. That's not the goal of the first draft.

The theme of this week's vlog was searching for the unseen solutions. A major part of that last week was meeting with various Web3 freelancers and companies to understand the space better and see who would be a right fit to work with. I explore take-aways about the NFT space and more importantly, principles that anyone can apply. After that, I jump into my process of writing the lore of a story I'm working on. Again, it gets far below the surface quickly and I highlight notions meant to benefit everyone. After discussing these, I go through stray observations from the week that leave me with questions or provide me the answers I'm looking for. The topics range from AI to George Lucas, the quality control process phase of a film, how we all need to enjoy "in and of themselves" moments, and beyond.

If you follow me, you know it's no secret that I LOVE Amazon Prime's Undone. It's an incredible show on every level that simply can't help but move you—it's that touchingly powerful. In short, it's about Alma who nearly dies in a car accident and then finds that she has a new relationship with time; she develops this newfound relationship to find out the truth about her father's death.
One of the reasons the show is so fantastic is because of the rotoscope animation style. The other, phenomenal acting. Both overseen by series director Hisko Hulsing (@HiskoHulsing). He graciously agreed to join me and chat about the inner workings of the show. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our 11th book is The Word For World Is Forest's, written by Ursula K Le Guin, and next month we'll be chatting about Adam Silvera's They Both Die At The End.
What's The Word For World Is Forest about?
"The Word for World Is Forest is a science fiction novella by American writer Ursula K. Le Guin, first published in the United States in 1972 as a part of the anthology Again, Dangerous Visions, and published as a separate book in 1976 by Berkley Books. It is part of Le Guin's Hainish Cycle.
The story focuses on a military logging colony set up on the fictional planet of Athshe by people from Earth (referred to as "Terra"). The colonists have enslaved the completely non-aggressive native Athsheans, and treat them very harshly. Eventually, one of the natives, whose wife was raped and killed by a Terran military captain, leads a revolt against the Terrans, and succeeds in getting them to leave the planet. However, in the process their own peaceful culture is introduced to mass violence for the first time.
The novel carries strongly anti-colonial and anti-militaristic overtones, driven partly by Le Guin's negative reaction to the Vietnam War. It also explores themes of sensitivity to the environment, and of connections between language and culture. It shares the theme of dreaming with Le Guin's novel The Lathe of Heaven, and the metaphor of the forest as a consciousness with the story "Vaster than Empires and More Slow".
The novella won the Hugo Award in 1973, and was nominated for several other awards. It received generally positive reviews from reviewers and scholars, and was variously described as moving and hard-hitting. Several critics, however, stated that it compared unfavorably with Le Guin's other works such as The Left Hand of Darkness, due to its sometimes polemic tone and lack of complex characters."

In my professional career, I've dealt with a lot of notes and many rounds of them per project. Because of that, I've always altered my approach to better how I address those notes. Here's a method I utilize that tremendously helps me and applies to all kinds of artists out there.

I've always loved rotoscope animation—movies like A Scanner Darkly, Waking Life and Amazon's Undone TV series. Not only do I love the style but I believe it opens up possibilities creatively. And because of that, I always wanted to create my own movie using the style. But I didn't have the money to do so. Instead, I utilized pre-existing techniques and combined them into a method for achieving my goal. (For reference, here's the final result of my first go around: https://youtu.be/qGbw1So77yg. And here's a full Q&A regarding the project: https://youtu.be/mVhgNV8H-kY.) This tutorial showcases the steps so you to can do it yourself. For the Photoshop settings specifically, you can follow these tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivLixXcaAnI (cartoon effect), https://youtu.be/phl48dTE1KI (oil painting effect). Also, I don't mention this in the episode, but another way to achieve this look is to use EBSynth. I haven't successfully used it, but here's a resource about that: https://youtu.be/DlHoRqLJxZY.

Ever feel like you're living in a parody? Well, that's what last week felt like for me. I give various reasons why that is and extract lessons you can utilize in your life. Plus I talk about how actions, not words, reveal true character. This is important in both storytelling and life. Then I shift into how we truly overestimate what we can do in a week but underestimate what we can do in a year. If you understand this, life can be less stressful. I also talk about how therapy continues to be a big part of my success. And finally, I discuss how to enhance your projects with today's tools and overview what I've got coming up this week.

Whether we mean to or not, there's a fundamental flaw in the way most of us apologize to people. I've been guilty of it too. But thanks to an insight from Dr. Jennifer Freed (@drjenniferfreed), I learned a deeper, more meaningful way to say sorry to someone where it resonates with them.

I wish I could tell you the holiday season and the past few weeks have been fun and easy going. But they haven't been. Though I won't just vent to you. There's a principle out there of turning your pain into purpose and that's the theme of most of what I share. I give examples of what I'm dealing with and then provide you with perspective and tools to tackle those in your life. Then I shift gears and chat about the best form of networking out there, why I think you should respect whatever industry you're entering into (and how), plus why brevity in art is so important (as evidenced by the theatrical version of Lord of the Rings). Then to wrap things up, I talk about how the smallest interactions can have huge impacts on us and why that matters, the final phase of any project being laborious, and finally some tips for parents out there.

In the self help world, many highlight the importance boundaries. And they certainly are necessary. But in order to enact boundaries, you need to be your own advocate. So, I'm taking my own advice and implementing black out dates for myself this year. These will be dates that I'm not working. A major step to ensure this is to communicate with people I work with. But it can't just be a case of, "now it's your problem." No, in taking this step, I will suggest solutions and give them options to still ensure the things they want done do get done.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our 10th book is Hercule Poirot's Christmas written by Agatha Christie and next month we'll be chatting about Ursula K. Le Guin's The Word For World Is Forest.
What's Hercule Poirot's Christmas about?
"It is Christmas Eve. The Lee family reunion is shattered by a deafening crash of furniture, followed by a high-pitched wailing scream. Upstairs, the tyrannical Simeon Lee lies dead in a pool of blood, his throat slashed. But when Hercule Poirot, who is staying in the village with a friend for Christmas, offers to assist, he finds an atmosphere not of mourning but of mutual suspicion. It seems everyone had their own reason to hate the old man."

In the final vlog of 2022, I open up about some of the thoughts and feelings swirling in my head. I talk about how this year has been both one of the best and hardest of my life. And yet despite the pain, I always strive to find the good. More specifically, I share how I approach that. Part of the answer is knowing that small actions have large impacts. I also share some words from Green Peace and revelations on creativity from a recent episode of Simon Sinek's A Bit Of Optimism (https://simonsinek.com/podcast-episodes/two-bits-of-optimism-with-brene-brown-and-adam-grant-part-one/). Then I talk about the need for us to see the wonders of the world and how for me that was the World Cup just a few weeks ago.

This past week I took several meetings regarding my upcoming project which aims to utilize NFTs. And in these meetings I was the dumbest person in the room! Everyone talked in depth about NFTs, Web3, Discord, the Metaverse, AI technology, etc. And it was exciting because I got to learn from them! That's why being the dumbest person in the room is a major advantage. And I never took my ignorance as a weakness because I know I can learn, from them and my own research. Asking them questions LETS me learn. I also share how a recent Gary Vee episode (from The Gary Vee Audio Experience) made me consider the space differently. But ultimately how the fundamentals apply no matter what, which is that it takes TIME to build meaningful projects. Everyone talks about excitedly about "the grind" when things are going well. But what about when it's hard? That's the real test. After that, I talk about my experience of pitching my latest project, the importance of turning routine into ritual so you can pay attention to moments, writing my filmmaking non fiction book, and how to prepare yourself for a QC (if you're an indie filmmaker). So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Most novice filmmakers get to set and try to rush to get the first shot up. Don't! First block the scene, then light it, then shoot it. It'll get everyone on the same page and whatever time you feel you've wasted up front will easily be made up for later.

This past week has been quite hectic! There was all the prep going into Comic Con LA and the event itself. I got into details about that and give my thoughts on the whole experience. (BTW, you can watch a recording of the panel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6mIfqmUAq4). Afterwards, I talk about finalizing a pitch deck that I need for this week. As part of that, I go into techniques that make a good writer. Then I share some insights from the World Cup that apply to everyone, but ESPECIALLY artists. Finally, I pose a random thought that's been on my mind. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our 9th book is Saturday by Ian McEwan and next month we'll be chatting about Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot's Christmas.
What's Saturday about?
"It is set in Fitzrovia, central London, on Saturday, 15 February 2003, as a large demonstration is taking place against the United States' 2003 invasion of Iraq. The protagonist, Henry Perowne, a 48-year-old neurosurgeon, has planned a series of errands and pleasures, culminating in a family dinner in the evening. As he goes about his day, he ponders the meaning of the protest and the problems that inspired it; however, the day is disrupted by an encounter with a violent, troubled man."

I've witnessed many people never begin or finish a project because they feared it wouldn't be good enough. By whose standards? Yes, everything I've done in my life has room for improvement, but I've also given them my all and that's what allows me to learn and grow. More importantly, that's what brings about new opportunities. People see what my team and I are capable of and know that with more resources, we could achieve even more. That's the position I happily find myself in as I tackle a major project, which is writing/producing/directing a trio of fantasy animated movies. In many ways, this endeavor feels beyond me. But that's what's exciting. And more importantly, I'm a firm believer that those who step up ARE deserving of the endeavor. So I share the steps I'm taking to make everything happen. Also, as a reminder, my team and I will be doing a panel at this year's LA Comic Con called How to Produce A Low Budget Indie Film Without Sacrificing Ambition & Scope. It'll take place Saturday, Dec 3rd at noon in room 405. I round things off with a few quick updates and tips too.

Novice writers wait for inspiration to hit before sitting down to write. No professional writer does this. That's because they understand the quality of their writing has nothing to do with their level of inspiration. Sound grim? It's not! It's actually liberating.

At any moment in our lives, there's both good things happening and bad things. And we must be able to cope with both. That's what I dive into, using examples from my own life to illustrate important points. I talk about finishing an outline, during which I give nuggets of writing tips, preparing for LA Comic Con (our panel will be Saturday, Dec 3rd at noon in room 405), my strategy as I formulate a major presentation, and more. Afterward, I share some thoughts on the power of identity—for both good and bad. Then, I talk about expert fallacy (in reference to another video I posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpRkU9Oq-YQ) and how we all should be open to outside ideas.

Whenever someone tries to figure out their career path, they're posed with a question: if you could succeed at anything, what would you do? That's not the best question to ask. The better one is: what would you do if you knew you were going to fail? Why? That's what I discuss.

Graciela Patiño (@MsGracielaPatino) is interviewed on the red carpet in Las Vegas for the screening of A Bogotá Trip at the Silver State Film Festival.
About The Film:
Neel’s turning 35 and still hasn’t found purpose in life. Even if he did, he doesn’t have anyone to share life’s beautiful moments with. That’s why he hopes that a trip to Bogotá provides the spark he needs. Meanwhile, Violet brings her two best friends to Colombia to recreate the fun she had there while studying abroad. Their worlds collide when they bump into each other, but growing closer could spell disaster for their lives back home.

Technology has the ability to make artists' lives easier. And generally the two biggest hurdles for any indie artist are finances and promotion. It's why I'm exited for NFTs.

AS a storyteller, much time can be spent creating names—whether of characters, places, species, etc. That's why having a tool like a name generator (https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/) is useful. It quite literally comes up with those things for you, based on criteria you select. Now, you can either use what's created or use it as a jumping off point to them come up with your own. It's up to you. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

I had a long drive from Las Vegas so I decided to document and share my thoughts. First, I talk about how great of an experience it was to see my newest film, A Bogota Trip, on the big screen without an issues. It sounded amazing. It looked fantastic. I also share nuggets of wisdom gained from the experience. While in Vegas, I took the opportunity to see my favorite performer, David Copperfield. I share what lessons I took away from his magic show. Then I talk about the overall creative process and how to have grace with yourself even when you seemingly don't make much progress in a given week. That and so much more.

What's The Remains Of The Day about?
"The Remains of the Day is a 1989 novel by the Nobel Prize-winning British author Kazuo Ishiguro. The protagonist, Stevens, is a butler with a long record of service at Darlington Hall, a stately home near Oxford, England. In 1956, he takes a road trip to visit a former colleague, and reminisces about events at Darlington Hall in the 1920s and 1930s."

Firstly, my newest film, A Bogota Trip, will screen in Las Vegas, Sunday Oct 30th at 12pm as part of Silver State Film Festival. Tickets are available at http://TinyURL.com/BogotaTripVegas (search for Block YY). Secondly, as far as this episode, I focus on several, wide-sweeping topics. I begin with talking about my writing philosophy and share some principles of the craft that have helped me make progress. Then, I discuss how foreign movies take bigger swings than Hollywood and how I'd love to tap into the best of both. I also dive into why I think people should stop thinking of themselves as brands because we're multidimensional, the power of gratitude and how entitlement causes unnecessary misery, and how much perseverance factors into success. I wrap things out by sharing my new discovery of AI tools and how I want to learn all about them.

As a filmmaker, you hope to get a distributor or a platform to carry your movie. And when this happens, there's going to be a set of deliverables you have to give them. One major component of all of this are proper audio tracks assigned to specific channels within the final output file. This episode is a tutorial focusing on that aspect using Adobe's Premiere Pro.

Preparing for projects and understanding the world you're building are key to success—that's the theme of this week's vlog. I talk about doing a run through for a comedy special and how beneficial that was. Then I provide an update to my filmmaking how-to book and what's helped me make progress. After that, I shift gears and discuss creating the world of the trilogy I'm working on and everything that entails. Plus, I reveal how Story by Robert McKee continues to be helpful. Finally, I discuss finishing a major part of a short film I'm working on, what being an influencer means to me and why writers should incorporate ad breaks into their scripts. And, for some excellent news, A Bogota Trip will be screening in Las Vegas, Sunday Oct 30th at 12pm as part of Silver State Film Festival.

This vlog's theme is that you get to decide things for yourself and make the choices you want with you art. I open up the episode by talking about so-called experts and criticism you may receive on your journey. More so, how to handle it. Then I talk about the idea that we are all influences in life and how the new app BeReal has been fun for me. I discuss how one can truly find their purpose in life, give you some marketing tips, share how patience and humility are the keys to success and end by talking about dealing with no internet and how morning writing sessions have unlocked me.

I'm of the belief that if you're a storyteller (writer, filmmaker, etc) and your goal is to do longer form storytelling, at a certain you'll have to take the leap. For example, writing short stories teaches you a lot. All things that will benefit you for writing a novel. Yet, writing a novel requires more of you. Only by going through it do you learn what that is. Tune in to learn more and afterwards, please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

I often observe people in life who never took the time to discover themselves and do something on their "bucket list." I think it's important that in early adulthood people take the opportunity to do so, before a relationship, before kids, etc. Otherwise they'll try to live vicariously through others, or be jealous and miserable. That's what I explore. Tune in to learn more and afterwards, please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our seventh book is Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children and next month we'll be chatting about The Remains Of The Day by Kazuo Ishiguro.
What's Midnight's Children about?
"Saleem Sinai is born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the very moment of India’s independence. Greeted by fireworks displays, cheering crowds, and Prime Minister Nehru himself, Saleem grows up to learn the ominous consequences of this coincidence. His every act is mirrored and magnified in events that sway the course of national affairs; his health and well-being are inextricably bound to those of his nation; his life is inseparable, at times indistinguishable, from the history of his country. Perhaps most remarkable are the telepathic powers linking him with India’s 1,000 other “midnight’s children,” all born in that initial hour and endowed with magical gifts.
This novel is at once a fascinating family saga and an astonishing evocation of a vast land and its people–a brilliant incarnation of the universal human comedy. Forty years after its publication, Midnight’s Children stands apart as both an epochal work of fiction and a brilliant performance by one of the great literary voices of our time."

In this edition of my vlog, I discuss the rewrite process for a 90 second pitch and setting yourself up for opportunities and then being able to adjust your schedule when they come up. Then I talk about lessons I'm learning from Netflix's Kanye West documentary, which made me realize how we're all on different paths. Thinking about my path, I'm very satisfied with it. I help you have grace with your path too! Plus, I talk about filming the bulk of a short film I'm working on, and finishing up captions for A Bogota Trip (my latest feature film). Plus much more.

What a life we get to live! It really is. That's what I reflect upon at the beginning of this vlog, talking about birthdays, the deeper connections of life and newfound realizations thanks to people like Rabbi Steve Leder and Gabor Mate. Then I get into the creative side of things for me, discussing the various genres of writing I've been doing: a novel, a script, a nonfiction outline, final revisions to a course book (Master Mental Fortitude), and drafting a 90 second pitch. Part of the take aways are that slow and steady progress adds up to great things, to have grace with yourself if things take time, and how collaboration opens you up to new ideas.

I'm a big advocate of personalizing any application (college admissions, job search, etc). In my experience this yields better results because it shows to the person reading the application that you've done your homework about them and put in effort rather than blindly applying randomly to anywhere. This same notion applies to film festival submissions. And as part of that homework phase, I encourage you to for a film festival friends group so you can get firsthand accounts of festivals they've participated in and what they thought to see if it's a good fit for you. and your project. And if it is, you can write about your friends' experience in your cover letter. This is what I expand upon.

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it” (Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist). This quote represents the common theme from last week where I found a way to show up for people and events that I wanted to make, even when I thought it wouldn't be possible. More importantly, I extract techniques you can use to do the same. I also talk about writing new projects and how the demons of self doubt and failure are ever present and what to do about it. I draw from people like Ken Napzok, Winston Churchill, Steven Pressfield, Ryan Holiday and Tim Ferriss. Lastly, I offer some thoughts about the Queen's recent passing. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. As a reminder, my latest film, A Bogota Trip, is available to stream for a limited time (until Oct 2nd), thanks to the Lift Off Global Film Festival. The link to view it is http://TinyURL.com/BogotaTripMovie.

It's so difficult to make great art, especially on the indie level. And when you do, rightfully, there's a sense of major accomplishment. The sad part is that it's not enough. Regardless of whether you're a writer who has a publisher, a podcaster signed with a company, a musician with a label, a filmmaker with a distributor and so on, YOU have to take charge of the promotional efforts to see it succeed.

We all have internal beliefs but oftentimes we don't question where they come from or how those belief systems might actually be holding us back. One of my resolves in life is to eradicate all limiting beliefs by being an example of what's possible. I do that through exploration and examination. That's what I discuss in this episode.

Byron Katie says, "When you argue against reality, you suffer." And that's what I'd been doing in the past few weeks. What I'd realized is I wasn't even aware I was. See, it's one thing to argue willingly against reality, it's a whole other thing to do it unknowingly. But, either way, one suffers. So I explored and shifted my perspective. Funnily enough, all I had to do was turn to past guiding principles that simply weren't top of mind. And when I did, everything became much easier. The world didn't change, I did. This is what I explore and how you can do it too. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our sixth book is Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years Of Solitude and next month we'll be chatting about Salmon Rushdie's Midnight's Children.
What's 100 Years Of Solitude about?
"One Hundred Years of Solitude is a 1967 novel by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez that tells the multi-generational story of the Buendía family, whose patriarch, José Arcadio Buendía, founded the (fictitious) town of Macondo. The novel is often cited as one of the supreme achievements in world literature.
The magical realist style and thematic substance of One Hundred Years of Solitude established it as an important representative novel of the literary Latin American Boom of the 1960s and 1970s, which was stylistically influenced by Modernism (European and North American) and the Cuban Vanguardia (Avant-Garde) literary movement."

Satya Doyle Byock (@satyabyock) is a psychotherapist and founding director of The Salome Institute of Jungian Studies who recently came out with a book titled Quarterlife: The Search for Self in Early Adulthood. I absolutely love her work and its message. In fact, it resonates in my own artistic work. Which is why I thought it'd be fun to invite her and discuss quarterlife through the lens of popular stories. After all, Robert McKee says, "Stories are the creative conversion of life itself into a more powerful, clearer, more meaningful experience." So, using "Wild" and "Into The Wild," we examine the struggles quarterlifers face in our modern society. For some quick context, "Into the Wild" is a 2007 American biographical adventure drama film written, co-produced, and directed by Sean Penn. It is an adaptation of the 1996 non-fiction book of the same name written by Jon Krakauer and tells the story of Christopher McCandless ("Alexander Supertramp"), a man who hiked across North America into the Alaskan wilderness in the early 1990s after graduating Emory University. And "Wild" is a 2014 American biographical adventure drama film directed by Jean-Marc Vallée and starring Reese Witherspoon, with Laura Dern, Thomas Sadoski, Michiel Huisman, Gaby Hoffmann, Kevin Rankin, and W. Earl Brown appearing in supporting roles. The screenplay was adapted by Nick Hornby from Cheryl Strayed's 2012 memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, which is about a solo backpacking trip Strayed undertook on the trail in 1995 after numerous personal issues had left her life in shambles. And yes, we deliberately chose these because they were popular books that got turned into movies. Plus, they're nonfiction stories. We have a very deep conversation about these subjects and I hope you find it as enlightening and inspirational as I did.

In the past two years, I've been thinking about the promises of society where if you do X, Y and Z you'll have stability and overall a good life. But witnessing multiple market crashes, living in a pandemic, etc has made me question that and really consider tossing all caution to the wind. But that's not sustainable, is it? So what is that fine line between living responsibly and YOLO? That's what I aim to answer.

There's surprisingly a lot of instances where I see athletes say, "I could have easily been like Michael Jordan" or "We could have easily won today." What? If it was so easy, then they would have done it. Not only does it diminish the accomplishments of others, it also creates a false narrative that these things are easy. It allows for excuses. And this sort of thinking carries into creative endeavors. But I have an approach that works to reverse this so anyone can actually do those things.

One of the biggest advantages I have is I've trained for years to overcome financial limitations in creative projects. In the film world, I see so many people raise tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars to make a short film. Stop! Especially when you're starting off, do it for cheap. Then you can learn to do more with less and with hundreds of thousands of dollars, make a great feature film.

Every film needs credits, right? How do you create them? Well, there's a few ways to approach them, but there's a trade off. The cheapest way tends to be the most time consuming and vise versa where the easiest way tends to be the most expensive. It depends which you want. In this episode I overview those options for you. So tune in and afterwards, please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

You'd be amazed at how many times I see people ask a favor from someone and then try to also dictate that favor on their terms. It doesn't work like that. Whoever is asking the favor needs to comply with the demands of the person being asked. This thinking extends itself into other areas of life and then people wonder why their projects aren't getting done. So, in this episode, I explore this topic both from the perspective of the "client" as well as the "freelancer."

There's always a lot happening in the world and we feel compelled to say something about it. But what do we say? That's the question, especially since many times what people put out backfires on them. As artists, we should want to add something meaningful to the conversation, so to speak. After all, that's what art is: the lie that reveals the truth. How we do that is exactly what I explore in this episode so tune in.

In this vlog, I share my thoughts about what's happening with Warner Bros and HBO Max. More importantly, I walk you through my thoughts on how this will affect creators and how you can manage to keep making the art you want regardless of anyone else, thanks to today's technologies. Then I talk about my projects and where things are at with my latest movie (A Bogota Trip) and working on new projects. Also, I share my creative influences to highlight my belief in how diversifying what you consume helps elevate your art.

Words like content, IP, asset, consumer, franchise, tax incentive, etc have become common phrases in our culture. But if words hold power, are we essentially devaluing art based on how we discuss it?

There's an old adage that states, "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good." But don't we strive for perfection? At the very least, don't we want to avoid mediocrity with our work? Yes, and the adage doesn't advocate this either. So what does it mean? Well, that's what I go over in this episode in order to try to release your creativity into the world.

This past week, while there has been progress and good news, it's definitely been a bit far and few in between. Frustrating is the best way to describe the week in all aspects. And I highlight each of those aspects: from creating a new DCP for a film, rejections on submissions, the hurdles of starting a new project, the inefficiencies of LA living, and even online dating. But it's not just a vent session. I talk about how to work past these moments in life.

There are many objectionable characters on TV, yet we look up to them. I can think of Ross from Friends, E from Entourage, Zack Morris from Saved By The Bell. In fact, there's a whole YouTube series dedicated to how heinous Zack is (Zack Morris Is Trash: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRcB4n4CGcy_r21EedmNUOyVP_puToBfr). And maybe you can think of other examples. But the real point is, what role does an artist have in creating this morality? That's what I explore in this episode, so tune in.

Wow, it's been a few months since my last vlog, so lots to catch up on. I start by talking about all the obstacles we had to overcome to get our film A Bogotá Trip over the finish line to make the premiere deadline. So many lessons within that alone. I detail the premiere itself, getting to do the festival with one of my close friends Jeffrey Crane Graham who also premiere his feature, Always Lola. Then, I talk about how the unexpected happened and why it felt so good. I round things off by talking about what's next, both for this movie as well as my other projects.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our fifth book is In Five Years by Rebecca Serle and next month we'll be chatting about Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years Of Solitude.
What's In Five Years about?
"When Type-A Manhattan lawyer Dannie Kohan is asked this question at the most important interview of her career, she has a meticulously crafted answer at the ready. Later, after nailing her interview and accepting her boyfriend's marriage proposal, Dannie goes to sleep knowing she is right on track to achieve her five-year plan.
But when she wakes up, she’s suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man. The television news is on in the background, and she can just make out the scrolling date. It’s the same night—December 15—but 2025, five years in the future.
After a very intense, shocking hour, Dannie wakes again, at the brink of midnight, back in 2020. She can’t shake what has happened. It certainly felt much more than merely a dream, but she isn’t the kind of person who believes in visions. That nonsense is only charming coming from free-spirited types, like her lifelong best friend, Bella. Determined to ignore the odd experience, she files it away in the back of her mind.
That is, until four-and-a-half years later, when by chance Dannie meets the very same man from her long-ago vision. Brimming with joy and heartbreak, In Five Years is an unforgettable love story that reminds us of the power of loyalty, friendship, and the unpredictable nature of destiny."

There's nothing wrong with dreaming big. But many times, it's the smaller victories that lend themselves to the larger ones. That's why I'm an advocate of seizing any opportunity that arises IF it's aligned with your goal. In this lesson, I explore how to approach this with your own projects.

I've always had the experience that whenever I offer someone more value, I get more in return. And based on books, podcasts, etc, I know I'm not the only one. Except, you can't do it for that reason. The value you offer has to be unconditional. And that's what I discuss in this lesson.

Whenever we announce or finish a project, it's always great to consider how to maximize the excitement and thus promotion for it.

Our time in precious and so who were choose to give our time and energy to is important. How do you decide that? A good metric for me is differentiating between those who give me their free time only vs those who free their time for me. It's a big distinction in practice.

Many people get discouraged from beginning something they say they want simply because of this false idea that it's "too late." How is it too late? By what metric. That's like saying someone else filmed a movie so you shouldn't. Of course you should. In this episode I dispel the myth and help you overcome that limiting belief.

From my experience, many people either don't have regular sleep schedules OR if they do, they have one for week days and one for the weekend. Your body cannot differentiate between the two and you're not at your most optimal if you alternate between the two. That's why my advice is to stick to a regular sleep schedule EVERY DAY.

Dogme 95 was a filmmaking movement started in 1995 by the Danish directors Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, who created the "Dogme 95 Manifesto." The rules they made up were used to create films based on the traditional values of story, acting, and theme, and excluding the use of elaborate special effects or technology. It was supposedly an attempt to "take back power for the directors as artists", as opposed to the studio. They were later joined by fellow Danish directors Kristian Levring and Søren Kragh-Jacobsen, forming the Dogme 95 Collective. In this episode, I highlight this movement as a case study of why limitations force creativity, something that applies well beyond just filmmaking. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.
For those curious, here are all the Dogme 95 rules:
-
Shooting must be done on location. Props and sets must not be brought in (if a particular prop is necessary for the story, a location must be chosen where this prop is to be found).
-
The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice versa. (Music must not be used unless it occurs where the scene is being shot.)
-
The camera must be hand-held. Any movement or immobility attainable in the hand is permitted.
-
The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable. (If there is too little light for exposure the scene must be cut or a single lamp be attached to the camera.)
-
Optical work and filters are forbidden.
-
The film must not contain superficial action. (Murders, weapons, etc. must not occur.)
-
Temporal and geographical alienation are forbidden. (That is to say that the film takes place here and now.)
-
Genre movies are not acceptable.
-
The film format must be Academy 35 mm.
-
The director must not be credited.
And some of the films to have come out of this movement are:
• Dogme #2: The Idiots
• Dogme #3: Mifune's Last Song
• Dogme #4: The King Is Alive
• Dogme #5: Lovers
• Dogme #6: Julien Donkey-Boy
• Dogme #8: Fuckland
• Dogme #12: Italian for Beginners
• Dogme #13: Amerikana
• Dogme #14: Joy Ride
• Dogme #15: Camera
• Dogme #18: Truly Human
• Dogme #28: Open Hearts

Often, as Byron Katie would point out, there are acts we do that we think are noble when in fact they are not. Denying someone their suffering seems like a noble action. But it's false.

Natalie Kingston (@nataliekingston) is a cinematographer, having worked on movies such as Lost Bayou, The Wolf Of Snow Hollow and Shapeless. Recently, she finished up shooting Black Bird for Apple TV+ which premieres July 8th. Black Bird is a crime drama limited series developed by Dennis Lehane, based on the 2010 autobiographical novel In With The Devil: A Fallen Hero, A Serial Killer, and A Dangerous Bargain for Redemption by James Keene. As part of the true story, Jimmy Keene is offered his freedom in exchange for coaxing a confession out of suspected serial killer Larry Hall and finding out where his victims are buried. Taron Egerton stars as James Keene, Paul Walter Hauser as Larry Hall, Greg Kinnear as Brian Miller, Sepideh Moafi as Lauren McCauley, and Ray Liotta as James "Big Jim" Keene. In our interview, Natalie and I discuss various aspects of the behind the scenes process of putting this story on film.

In the self help world, you often hear the term boundaries and the importance of setting them. What's not talked about as often is HOW to set those boundaries. Often times, we state the problem to someone, expecting them to extract what the boundary is, but they can't. They are not mind readers. We have to communicate that boundary clearly to them. This episode gives you my best tip for doing just that.. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

A constant complaint I hear, especially from entertainment sites, is Hollywood lacks originality. Whether true or not, I never understood why then they choose to report ONLY on Hollywood's art. If originality is the goal, as so they claim, there are so many wonderful films and TV shows out there if one looks. And if those sites won't cover them, then we as consumers must help get the word out about them. And yes it's possible. It's how movies like Parasite and Everything Everywhere All At Once became such hits. Because of how much audiences loved it, sites were forced to do more coverage on them. So if you see something that you like, say something! Support great art. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

One of the first questions I get asked about my 2nd feature film, A Bogota Trip, is why I chose to film in Colombia. The simple answer is I have a friend down there and I could. For some reason that didn't satisfy certain people and I've been thinking about why. Here is my answer, but it goes so much beyond just me and filmmaking. This insight can unlock any creative person out there. So check out this episode and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Aspiring filmmakers aim to use their films as a calling card within the industry—a way to showcase what they can do. A pitfall in doing so though is when filmmakers try to replicate Hollywood movies. Now, it might seem counter intuitive if your goes is to work in Hollywood, but don't do that. I explain the reasoning behind this.

About The Film:
Neel’s turning 35 and still hasn’t found purpose in life. Even if he did, he doesn’t have anyone to share life’s beautiful moments with. That’s why he hopes that a trip to Bogotá provides the spark he needs. Meanwhile, Violet brings her two best friends to Colombia to recreate the fun she had there while studying abroad. Their worlds collide when they bump into each other, but growing closer could spell disaster for their lives back home.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our fourth book is The Diamond In The Window (part of The Hall Family Chronicles) by Jane Langont and next month we'll be chatting about Rebecca Serle's In Five Years.
What's The Diamond In The Window about?
"Eddy and Eleanor Hall have always known that their family was a bit out of the ordinary. After all, they live in one of the most remarkable houses in all of Concord. But they never guessed just how extraordinary their house really is, or what tremendous secrets about their family's past it holds. That is, until they discover the magical attic room with its beautiful stained-glass window, abandoned toys, and two perfectly made-up, empty beds that seem to be waiting perhaps for two children just like themselves...."

After over a year of planning, filming, editing and so on, my newest film "A Bogota Trip" is complete. And it's premiering at the Marina Del Rey Film Festival June 20th in Los Angeles where YOU can attend! That's right. YOU are invited to the premiere screening.
Tickets can be purchased at http://TinyURL.com/ABogotaTrip (just search "A Bogota Trip" on the page to find it.)
For a bit of context, the film is about Neel who is turning 35 and still hasn’t found purpose in life. Even if he did, he doesn’t have anyone to share life’s beautiful moments with. That’s why he hopes that a trip to Bogota provides the spark he needs. Meanwhile, Violet brings her two best friends to Colombia to recreate the fun she had there while studying abroad. Their worlds collide when they bump into each other, but growing closer could spell disaster for their lives back home.
If you have any questions, ask away. Otherwise, we hope to see you there!

For complicated projects, whether feature films or videos with tons of effects, it can be advantageous to export as image sequences first so that way if a render messes up, you've still made progress.

Whether you're raising money through a crowdfund or putting together a public event such as a film screening, you want to get the word out to as many people as possible. How do you do that? Well, in basketball, there's a term "full court press." I apply this same notion to these things. Using my film's June 20th premiere (which you can get tickets for at http://TinyURL.com/ABogotaTrip—just search A Bogota Trip on the page), I discuss strategies to achieve success.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our third book is All Tomorrow's Parties by William Gibson and next month we'll be chatting about Jane Langton's The Diamond in the Window.
What's All Tomorrow's Parties about?
"Colin Laney, sensitive to patterns of information like no one else on earth, currently resides in a cardboard box in Tokyo. His body shakes with fever dreams, but his mind roams free as always, and he knows something is about to happen. Not in Tokyo; he will not see this thing himself. Something is about to happen in San Francisco.
The mists make it easy to hide, if hiding is what you want, and even at the best of times reality there seems to shift. A gray man moves elegantly through the mists, leaving bodies in his wake, so that a tide of absences alerts Laney to his presence. A boy named Silencio does not speak, but flies through webs of cyber-information in search of the one object that has seized his imagination. And Rei Toi, the Japanese Idoru, continues her study of all things human. She herself is not human, not quite, but she’s working on it. And in the mists of San Francisco, at this rare moment in history, who is to say what is or is not impossible..."

If someone decides to write a book and then stops after completing it, why does society deem them as a failure for choosing not to continue writing? There's plenty of examples like this.

Picture lock (or piclock for short) is when a movie is done being edited and the timing is locked in so it can go to color correction, sound design, scoring, visual effects, etc. But adding those elements helps inform the project and may spark new ideas that may require editing changes. This scares many inexperienced people and they don't make those changes. Here's a look at how you can do it without creating a nightmare for all those involved. So check it out and please share your thoughts down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

This past week I completed a lot of quick tasks that I'd been strategically holding off. For example, the poster for A Bogota Trip is done! You can check out https://philsvitek.com/a-bogota-trip/ to see it and get more info on the film. After discussing all of these tasks, I shift gears and highlight what's next for me. Thanks for tuning in. Also, feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Each month, Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I read a book and discuss it online. In April, we had an in-depth conversation on Erika Robuck's (@erobuckauthor) book The Invisible Woman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW5mLksAc58). And when the opportunity to be able to interview her came up, we jumped on it. Two things: 1) no, you don't need to have read the book to enjoy this interview, although it does help 2) sadly, Marisa ended up with a last minute scheduling conflict and couldn't join us.
For some quick background, Erika is the national bestselling author of The Invisible Woman, Hemingway’s Girl, Call Me Zelda, Fallen Beauty, The House of Hawthorne, and Receive Me Falling. She is a contributor to the anthology Grand Central: Postwar Stories of Love and Reunion, and to the Writer’s Digest Essay Collection, Author in Progress. Her latest title, Sisters of Night and Fog, A Novel of WWII, released March 1, 2022. For more details and ways to purchase her books, visit http://www.erikarobuck.com/.
Also, during the interview, I mention Cleo Abram's (@cleoabram) TikTok videos. Here's the link to watch those: https://www.tiktok.com/@cleoabram?lang=en.

Sadly, many people don't get ahead in life simply because they're too scared to reach out to someone they don't know. Be bold! Don't be pushy or annoying. But reach out and ask for what you're looking for. You might seem stupid. You might get a no. But you'll progress AND gain confidence, which will help you build overall momentum.

When people think about "success" they often force wholesale changes. Why? You don't need to. Think about the 100 meter race. What's the margin of victory? Fractions of a second. This shows top athletes are focusing on the smallest of details in order to win. Apply the same to your pursuits and you'll see greater results. Thanks for tuning in.

As people, we're naturally inclined to tell stories to people around us using the "and then" method. Something happens, and then something else happens. But, storytelling (in movies, books, etc) is labored if that's the case. It presents no stakes or complications. And I love ideas that are simple yet have a profound effect. It's why I love Matt Stone and Trey Parker's writing advice. As the creators of South Park, they've perfected the "but, therefore" style of outlining. That's what I go over in this episode and how you can benefit from it as well. Thanks for tuning in.

Almost a month since my last vlog! Lots to catch up on, most of it in terms of my second feature film (A Bogota Trip). I discuss getting to picture lock, ADR sessions, and next steps. Then I talk about what's next beyond the film. While it seems like much of the conversation won't apply to anyone but filmmakers, I promise there are plenty of take-aways for any artist.

When discussing relationships with friends, I'll often use the quote that "if you're not free to leave, you're not free to stay." It takes them a moment to really process that.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our second book is The Invisible Woman by Erica Robuck (@erobuckauthor) and next month we'll be chatting about William Gibson's All Tomorrow's Parties.
What's The Invisible Woman about?
"France, March 1944. Virginia Hall wasn't like the other young society women back home in Baltimore—she never wanted the debutante ball or silk gloves. Instead, she traded a safe life for adventure in Europe, and when her beloved second home is thrust into the dark days of war, she leaps in headfirst.
Once she's recruited as an Allied spy, subverting the Nazis becomes her calling. But even the most cunning agent can be bested, and in wartime trusting the wrong person can prove fatal. Virginia is haunted every day by the betrayal that ravaged her first operation, and will do everything in her power to avenge the brave people she lost. While her future is anything but certain, this time more than ever Virginia knows that failure is not an option. Especially when she discovers what—and whom—she's truly protecting."

When it comes to filmmaking, one of the more costly aspects, especially in the indie world, is song licensing. Not only is it costly, but if you don't get the song(s) you were hoping for, it's one of the biggest give aways that your film lacked money. My suggestion, use only score you created. I expand upon these ideas in this episode. Thanks for tuning in.

Sleep has become synonymous with rest, but according to Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, sleep is one of the few types of rest you need. This episode aims to introduce you to those and give you action steps to getting more rest in all those areas:
-Physical: The chance to use the body in restorative ways to decrease muscle tension, reduce headaches, and promote higher quality sleep.
-Mental: The ability to quiet cerebral chatter and focus on things that matter.
-Spiritual: The capacity to experience God in all things and recline in the knowledge of the Holy.
-Emotional: The freedom to authentically express feelings and eliminate people-pleasing behaviors.
-Social: The wisdom to recognize relationships that revive from ones that exhaust and how to limit exposure to toxic people.
-Sensory: The opportunity to downgrade the endless onslaught of sensory input received from electronics, fragrances, and background noise.
-Creative: The experience of allowing beauty to inspire awe and liberate wonder.
-Dr. Dalton-Smith's book: Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity

In any avenue of life, we're bound to mess up. When this happens, we all have choices—to lament over it and let it define us OR use it as a moment of new opportunity. Many choose the former. But with a simple mental shift, you can start seeing the latter. And when you do, life presents unexpected things that you'll be grateful for. That's what this episode tackles and aims to help you to do. Thanks for tuning in.

Filmmakers, I wanted to get your input after sharing my thoughts. Recently, I had to submit a DVD to a film festival as part of their application process. This is not only antiquated but also costly.

Every artist needs feedback on their work before they can complete it. Some of it should come from peers. Some of it should come from non industry people. This provides a good mix of feedback. But how do you process and incorporate all those notes? That's what I aim to tackle in this episode. Thanks for tuning in.

I really wanted to love the latest Batman film. And until about 80% of the way in, I did. Then something shifted. That's what I share today. The point isn't really to bash Matt Reeves' and The Batman film, but learn from it.

In my latest vlog, I provide some quick thoughts on the state of things before jumping into the creative aspects of the past week.

As a filmmaker, I listen to many podcasts and watch plenty of YouTube videos that have on incredible artists. And by doing so, there's a theme that merged from people like Roger Deakins (Team Deakins), Barry Sonnenfeld (on SmartLess), Robert Rodriguez (10 Minute Film School YouTube series), etc. It's this insight that I share with you today. It's a piece of advice which isn't just geared towards directors and cinematographers. It can be applied to anyone on set. Thanks for tuning in.

Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I are book lovers and we've decided to do a monthly in-depth book discussion. Our first book is The Poppy War and next month we'll be chatting about The Invisible Woman by Erica Robuck.
The Poppy War is a 2018 novel by R. F. Kuang. It's a grimdark fantasy that draws its plot and politics from mid-20th-century China, with the conflict in the novel based on the Second Sino-Japanese War, and an atmosphere inspired by the Song dynasty.
The novel centers on a poor orphan, Rin, who trains in secret to test into the elite Sinegard Academy. Kuang said Rin's life is meant to parallel the trajectory of Mao Zedong. Grounded in the real-world history of Chinese wars and adding a fantasy drug element inspired by the Opium Wars, The Poppy War is a dark and fatalistic tale of warfare. When a conflict surfaces between the Nikara Empire and their neighboring nation, the Federation of Mugen, Rin is called to the front lines. She must decide whether to make a deal with the gods to unleash her shamanic powers. Her decision may change the war but result in the loss of her humanity.
A sequel, The Dragon Republic, was released in August 2019, and a third book, The Burning God, was released November 2020.

For a countless number of us, when we pursue our passions (creatively, through activism, love, etc), it feels like we have to work twice as hard just to make any progress at all. That can be frustrating, especially when others make it seem so easy. And it's made worse when others use phrases like "X person also only has 24 hours in a day and they're getting it done." So why does it feel this way? And more importantly, what can you do about it. That's what this episode is geared towards. Thanks for tuning in.

Many people cite to George Orwell's 1984 novel when making a point. And when I say people, I mean people from any political affiliation.

There's a quote that goes, "Don’t be afraid to start over. This time you’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience." (I'm not sure who it's attributed to). We negate how beneficial that experience truly is to our work and lives, simply because it wasn't the thing we were aiming for. Let's redefine our goals, so that no matter what happens, we win with anything we do. That's what I explore in this episode. Thanks for tuning in.

In an interview with Collider (https://collider.com/m-night-shyamalan-old-interview/), M. Night Shyamalan discussed how his most recent projects were financed by him. It's bold, definitely, but there's definitely lessons and take-aways within his strategy that all artists can utilize. That's what I explore in this episode. Thanks for tuning in.

There's such a variety of footage that exists out there, from professional to low quality. And if you're editing video, most likely you'll have to combine those various sources within your project.

Every artist should study their craft—the technique as well as the technical. This is because it helps build your "toolbox" of tricks.

As of late, I've been thinking a lot about the notion of principles over party. It's a way of figuring out what I value and upholding it regardless of my affiliation to someone or a group. Furthermore, to really define what ideals I believe in, I ask myself if it is something I've willing to uphold even for someone I disagree with. I think that is a true test of character.

There's a lot of fear out there. Some of it justified and some of it blown out of proportion. Still, I think most of it does start from a place of goodness. And yet, you can't create from a place of fight or flight. In order to solve the issues we so desperately should be worried about, we must remain calm and collected. This is hard. Really hard. But there's a way to do it. And that's what I go over in this episode. Thanks for tuning in.

This past week, something clicked for me. In the past, I joked about how people have "should" meetings. They're meetings that end up being useless because all that the people end up doing is talking about things they should do but they never actually do them. I find this happening with a lot of people. Yet they complain about being stuck or whatever. Now, I've realized it's because in their minds, breaking that pattern or going after what they say they want is not actually a must. And so one of the most powerful questions to tackle is how to change your should into a must. That's what I explore in this episode. Thanks for tuning in.

She soon embarks on an emotional and epic quest to uncover the identity of a mysterious beast who's on the run from ruthless vigilantes.

In the past, I've talked about the need to focus on the finding the right audience for yourself rather than waste time trying to convince people who won't respond to your work (https://youtu.be/7zhb9AZ8n9Y). Since then, I have an even deeper way of looking at it thanks to a new perspective. And that's through the lens of Everett Rogers' Law of Diffusion of Innovation. This episode explains what his theory is (https://philsvitek.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/LawOfDisffusion2.png) and then I discuss how it applies to any creative person out there. To further learn about the theory, read this 2019 article: https://sphweb.bumc.bu.edu/otlt/mph-modules/sb/behavioralchangetheories/behavioralchangetheories4.html. Thanks for tuning in.

Join Martin Zaharinov & me for a SPOILER discussion of the latest Matrix movie (The Matrix Resurrections). We go down the rabbit hole of all the things the film presents: story, action set pieces, old characters, new characters, the philosophy and what it all means. Of course, these are all just theories and we invite you to give us your take by commenting down below.
About The Matrix Resurrections:
The Matrix Resurrections is a 2021 American science fiction action film produced, co-written, and directed by Lana Wachowski. It is the sequel to The Matrix Revolutions (2003) and the fourth installment in The Matrix film franchise. Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Lambert Wilson reprise their roles from the previous films, and they are joined by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick, Jonathan Groff, Neil Patrick Harris, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The film is set sixty years after the events of Revolutions and follows Neo, who lives a seemingly ordinary life as a video game developer troubled with distinguishing dreams from reality. A group of rebels, with the help of a programmed version of Morpheus, free Neo from an altered Matrix and fight a new enemy that holds Trinity captive.

Many artists, when asked, aren't exactly where they want to be in their career. To me, that's no different than a soccer striker missing a shot on goal. I explain why that is and how to shift your perspective, including a technique I learned from my friend Lauren LoGrasso's (@LaurenLoGrasso) podcast called Unleash Your Inner Creative (https://open.spotify.com/episode/38g3hX5RYKdwDI1KSwqLAT?si=Pq8HO76mT9GDOOJS5wW2yg). There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in.

Society has exploited this idea that your weight is the equivalent of your overall health. It's an aspect of it, but not the only indicator. Which is why I'm encouraging you to rethink your new year's resolutions. Instead of going down to a specific weight, consider specific ways to be healthier. Thanks for tuning in.

The greatest investors don't go for high risk, high reward. They aim for low risk (or cost), high reward. I love this principle and have been applying it to creative projects and frankly, all aspects of life. In this episode, I explore the ways in which I've adopted this tenet and how it can benefit you.

Throughout our lives, we're faced with choices. Most of them are along the lines of "should I do this or not?" That can be a tough question with many conflicting thoughts. But what you have to ask yourself is are you avoiding doing it because you're scared or lazy and your inventive brain is coming up with excuses OR it truly is something not worth your time, energy, etc? This episode aims to help you make the distinction.

This is my review of West Side Story which is a 2021 American musical romantic drama film directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Tony Kushner. The story about Tony who spots Maria at a high school dance in 1957 New York City. It's love at first sight. But their burgeoning romance helps to fuel the fire between the warring Jets and Sharks -- two rival gangs vying for control of the streets. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions.

At Emerson College, I wanted to make grand short films. But my professor Rob Patton-Spruill forced us to make them 5 minutes or less (with credits). There was a method to his madness, so to speak, and since then I have learned the benefits of keeping your short films truly short. In this episode, I highlight the various reasons.

As a content creator, I love embracing emerging technologies and seeing how they apply to what I want to make. That's why I love seeing what Unreal Engine has been doing. Their free software allows you to create anything in 3D. One such example that's been employing its technology is Disney's The Mandalorian (https://youtu.be/Ufp8weYYDE8). But that's just scratching the surface. They also own Metahumans with allows you to generate 3D characters. And as these develop further, it'll be cheaper and easier to make your own movies using this technology to create the stories you want. Without limits. That's what excites me and what I deep dive in this episode. For further learning, check out Film Riot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-AV-bctI1o) and Cinecom.net (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k1QTEDOcYA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooW6ZH3R9xc & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hozDChonVTM).

As an artist of any kind, whenever we have an idea we want to jump on it right away and bring it to life. The problem is our initial ideas are riddled with cliches and remain surface level. In order to create meaningful work with the full length and breath of human emotion, we need to do research. This comes in many forms and that's what I discuss in this episode.

This is my review of House of Gucci, which is a 2021 American biographical crime drama film directed by Ridley Scott, based on the 2001 book The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed by Sara Gay Forden. The film follows Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga) and Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver), as their romance transforms into a fight for control of the Italian fashion brand Gucci. Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons, Salma Hayek, and Al Pacino also star. Scott wanted to make a film about the Gucci dynasty after acquiring rights to Forden's book in the early 2000s. The project languished for several years, with a number of directors and rumored actors being considered before Scott and Gaga became officially attached in November 2019. Much of the remaining cast joined the following summer, and filming began in Italy, lasting from February through May of 2021. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions.

Growing up with sports, I was raised with two notions: the body has more to give than the mind thinks and quitting is too easy.

Now that I'm back from filming in Colombia, I've been organizing all the footage and syncing it up with the audio. This always takes longer than expected but it's good because it allows me to review and learn the footage. That way, when I get to the edit phase, I can work at the speed of thought. Also in this vlog, I discuss steps to finish production and the move onto other subjects like: giving notes to my friend's film, fun activities I've been doing and some. of the odd jobs I've taken. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in.

I've found, and I know I'm not the only one, that whenever there's a national or global tragedy we as a society discuss it. Think September 11th. We all needed to collectively grieve and chat about it to process it. Yet, when tragedy happens that affects the Black community, overall white people don't check in or talk about it with Black people. Why is this? It's what I aim to scratch at the surface of and ultimately encourage all of us white people to speak with our Black friends more when instances like the George Floyd murder occur (which there are far too many off sadly).

The modern dilemma when hanging out with someone is that you have to be more interesting than their cell phone. I forget where I heard it and from whom, but it stuck with me.

As a 360 Creative Coach, I believe it’s important that I practice what I preach. During my life, I’ve been privileged to work on all kinds of different artistic projects. However, most of them were for other people. Recently, I’ve began to focus on my own projects, whether films, books, etc (https://philsvitek.com/products/). If you’ve heard my lessons, you know I’m a strong advocate of supporting artists. I put my heart and soul into each piece of work and it’d mean the world to me if you made a purchase.
In addition to my creative work, I’ve also included other ways to support me and my ambitions.
The good news is that all of these in turn help you out. How? Well, the more financial pressure that’s lifted thanks to patrons like you, the more time I can devote to my teachings and coaching practice.
Thank you.

Podcaster/author Tim Ferriss published a book called Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice from the Best in the World. In it, the best people across every discipline answer questions from a list of 11 curated questions Tim was interested in learning for himself and his audience. Below are those 11 questions. And in this video, I answer most of them in hopes that it helps you out. Of course, I highly recommend the book as well.
ONE: “What is the book (or books) you’ve given most as a gift, and why? Or what are one to three books that have greatly influenced your life?” T
WO: “What purchase of $100 or less has most positively impacted your life in the last six months (or in recent memory)? My readers love specifics like brand and model, where you found it, etc.”
THREE: “How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Do you have a “favorite failure” of yours?”
FOUR: “If you could have a gigantic billboard anywhere with anything on it — metaphorically speaking, getting a message out to millions or billions — what would it say and why? It could be a few words or a paragraph. (If helpful, it can be someone else’s quote: Are there any quotes you think of often or live your life by?)”
FIVE: “What is one of the best or most worthwhile investments you’ve ever made? (Could be an investment of money, time, energy, etc.)” SIX: “What is an unusual habit or an absurd thing that you love?”
SEVEN: “In the last five years, what new belief, behavior, or habit has most improved your life?”
EIGHT: “What advice would you give to a smart, driven college student about to enter the “real world”? What advice should they ignore?”
NINE: “What are bad recommendations you hear in your profession or area of expertise?”
TEN: "In the last five years, what have you become better at saying no to (distractions, invitations, etc.)? What new realizations and/or approaches helped? Any other tips?"
ELEVEN: “When you feel overwhelmed or unfocused, or have lost your focus temporarily, what do you do? (If helpful: What questions do you ask yourself?)”

Greek poet Archilochus said, "We don't rise to the level of our expectations; we fall to the level of our training." This is an important notion for any artist to adopt in order to find success.

My debut novel, the one I've been working on for a few years now, is finally out in the world. It was inspired by my summers spent in Slovakia, where my family is from and where I have witnessed firsthand the changes that have unfolded, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to entering the European Union. Slovakia is a young nation that’s still trying to form its identity within the world—much like the characters in Elan, Elan.
Summary of Elan, Elan: Erik plans on making this summer the best ever, mainly to soften the blow to his best friend Dani when he leaves for secondary school in the fall. But his noble plans are immediately compromised when Erik's old crush Ivana returns to their rural Slovakian town. Seeing Ivana again brings Erik’s old feelings racing back to the surface, but she hasn’t come back alone—Ivana is now dating Erik’s most hated foe. Erik has dirt on the rival, but using it to break them up might mean losing Ivana forever. With Erik distracted, Dani faces a summer of brutal struggles and rough transitions on his own. With all these yearnings, secrets, and changes in the air, can Erik and Dani’s lifelong friendship survive the summer? Purchase it through Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Elan-Phil-Svitek-ebook/dp/B09MMK51VJ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=phil+svitek&qid=1638044625&sr=8-1.
Afterwards, leave a review and spread the word. Thank you!

In Hollywood, celebrities has stylists to help pick out their wardrobe so they look trendy. While I'm not in favor of vanity, there is something to be said about the way we present ourselves to the world and how our outward appearance fuels our inner feelings.

Sites such as https://www.stitchfix.com/ and https://www.thread.com/ are subscription based and provide you with an expert to help pick out your clothes based on preferences in wardrobe you select.

Self help books teach us there's things we can control and things we can't. In fact, the only thing we can truly ever control is ourselves. But this is a limiting belief because while there are things outside of us we can't control, we can influence them. And that's powerful. In this episode, I explore how we have the ability to affect our environment and why we need to act like it.

I've returned from Colombia where the team and I filmed our movie. Such a wonderful experience. Most of it I can't share as it'd spoil the film but I do share some of the lessons learned along the way. After discussing the shoot, I highlight the next phase of the project as well as what I've been up to since returning home. One of my major projects is launching a meaningful Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/philsvitek) where I can connect with you on a direct level. Another thing I've been up to is finishing up my debut novel and getting it across the finish line (https://philsvitek.com/elan-elan/). I've also been working behind the scenes with the Financially Fit Foundation and today we released a video on how to avoid going into debt during the holiday season (https://fb.watch/9s1YVUIm9D/). There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in.

This is my review of The French Dispatch. First half is spoiler free, second half gets into spoilers (with a fair warning beforehand). The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun is a 2021 American comedy-drama anthology film written, directed, and produced by Wes Anderson from a story he conceived with Roman Coppola, Hugo Guinness, and Jason Schwartzman. The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet, Lyna Khoudri, Jeffrey Wright, Mathieu Amalric, Stephen Park, Bill Murray, and Owen Wilson. Its plot follows three different storylines as the French foreign bureau of a fictional Kansas newspaper creates its final issue. Additional cast members in The French Dispatch include Liev Schreiber, Edward Norton, Willem Dafoe, Saoirse Ronan, Elisabeth Moss, Jason Schwartzman, and Anjelica Huston. The project was first mentioned in August 2018 as an untitled musical set after World War II. That December, the film was officially announced, with Anderson calling it a "love letter to journalists." Filming took place between November 2018 and March 2019, with cinematographer Robert Yeoman, in the city of Angoulême, France. During post-production, editing was completed by Andrew Weisblum and the musical score was composed by Alexandre Desplat. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions.

Greek poet Archilochus said, "We don't rise to the level of our expectations; we fall to the level of our training." I think about this in the final stage of preparation on my upcoming film. In this edition of my vlog, I discuss the things that swirl through my mind and how after this, I'll be on hiatus until at least December. Even though there won't be new episodes, I encourage you to catch up or revisit old ones. There's literally hundreds of them. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy.

As we approach November, when we'll be filming my 2nd feature film, I've been getting ahead of work. This way, things are done and no one has to pick up the slack for me. I've also been finalizing freelance work for the time being. To ensure that, it's a coordinated effort to communicate with them and let them know of deadlines otherwise it'll be a month before I can resume. The other prep work I've been doing is for the movie. This past week we had final rehearsals. Plus we had to alter the schedule and a method for some graphics. The latter two being things that I knew I had to do but felt like somewhat of a gut punch. But, it was easier to just roll up my sleeves and get to work than to complain about it. And sure enough, by embracing and doing both things, the result is that much better. This is an idea I explore, not only exemplified in this way, but also in other areas of my life. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in. Also, feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

If we need something done that we can't do ourselves, we hire someone to do it for us, right? Yup. But too often, the people I know who hire someone never request or get the source files. They only end up with the final PDF, video, graphics, etc. This most likely will be an issue for them because if they need to make alterations to it in the future, they'll have to do it from scratch. That's costly and takes time. Don't let that be you. Always make sure to request your source files.

This is my review of Halloween Kills. First half is spoiler free, second half gets into spoilers (with a fair warning beforehand). Halloween Kills is a 2021 American slasher film directed by David Gordon Green and written by Green, Danny McBride and Scott Teems. The film is a sequel to 2018's Halloween and the twelfth installment in the Halloween franchise. The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle, who reprise their roles as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, with James Jude Courtney also portraying Myers again. Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, and Will Patton also reprise their roles from the previous film, with Anthony Michael Hall and Thomas Mann joining the cast. The film, which begins precisely where the previous film ended, sees Strode and her family continuing to fend off Myers, this time, with the help of the Haddonfield community. Jason Blum serves as a producer on the film through his Blumhouse Productions banner, alongside Malek Akkad and Bill Block. Before the release of the 2018 film, McBride in June 2018 confirmed that he and Green were originally intending to pitch two films that would be shot back-to-back, and then decided against it, waiting to see the reaction to the first film. Following the critical and commercial success of the 2018 film, development on the sequel promptly began as early as October 2018. By February 2019, Teems was hired to co-write the script. The film's title was officially announced in July 2019, along with its sequel. Principal photography commenced in September 2019 in Wilmington, North Carolina. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions.

In this episode, I invite you to reflect and consider what levers in society are the most effective to achieve the goal you're after. I use a Tweet from @NathanHWilliams as a starting point into this deep lesson with some harsh truths. Namely that real change is hard and takes time and effort. In order to do this work, we must put our egos off to the side. There are no quick fixes to the progress we'd like to see happen. That's what I explore in this episode.

In the film Blue Bayou (don't worry, not a spoiler), Justin Chon's character asks his daughter Jessie, "Is that a true thought or a blue thought?" This question, while simple and unsuspecting, really resonated with me. It reminds me of the work Byron Katie invites us to do. As such, in this episode, I unpack the full extent of this question and what it means to me. More importantly, how it can benefit you. After listening, kindly feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

In The Matrix Revolutions, the Oracle says, "The real test for any choice is having to make the same choice again, knowing full well what it might cost – I guess I feel pretty good about that choice, ’cause here I am, at it again." I like this quote as it applies to my choice of moving forward and making my 2nd feature film. In this vlog, I discuss the final preparations for the movie. Things like, negative visualization (https://philsvitek.com/negative-visualization/) and the creative solutions I've been considering, Covid procedures, finalizing tickets to events, pre packing, etc. Plus I discuss the difference between a mistake and a choice from an artistic standpoint. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in.

Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk had to wait about a decade to see his vision of the show to see the light of day (https://www.insider.com/squid-game-creator-paused-writing-script-sell-laptop-for-cash-2021-10). In online discussions, I've seen people highlight this as an example of perseverance. And it is. However, there is something that's overlooked in these discussions and it's the fact that he kept creating other projects. That must also be part of the take-away. That's what I showcase in this episode.

This is my review of No Time To Die. First half is spoiler free, second half gets into spoilers (with a fair warning beforehand). No Time to Die is a 2021 spy film and the 25th in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions. It stars Daniel Craig in his fifth and final outing as the fictional British MI6 agent James Bond. It is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga from a screenplay by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Fukunaga and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Léa Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Christoph Waltz, Rory Kinnear and Ralph Fiennes reprise their roles from previous films, with Rami Malek, Lashana Lynch, Billy Magnussen, Ana de Armas, David Dencik and Dali Benssalah also starring. In this film, Bond, who has left active service with MI6, is recruited by the CIA to rescue a kidnapped scientist, which leads to a showdown with a powerful adversary. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions.

"We're in the endgame now," as the Marvel quote goes. Yup, my team and I are a month away from flying to Colombia to film my 2nd movie. It's exciting for sure, though there's still lots to prepare. In this edition of my vlog, I discuss editing the green screen footage we shot a week ago, the VFX process, the administrative side of things, plus how I'm getting prepared mentally and physically. I reference a few things throughout this episode, so here's all the links to those if you want to dig deeper: Team Deakins episode (https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/darius-wolski-cinematographer), No Hurry No Pause philosophy (https://philsvitek.com/no-hurry-no-pause/), Playtest short film (https://youtu.be/qGbw1So77yg) & the Playtest Q&A (https://youtu.be/mVhgNV8H-kY).

Jamie Wheal is the author of the global best-seller and Pulitzer Prize-nominated Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, Navy SEALs and Maverick Scientists are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work and the founder of the Flow Genome Project. Recently, he was a guest on Pulling the Thread with Elise Loehnen (https://www.eliseloehnen.com/). Together, they discussed many ideas and shared wonderful insights. But one that stood out to me was the notion that 80% of our ROI (return on investment) comes from the first few times we do something. It's interesting to think about that especially because of the mental effect it has on us afterwards. That's what I deep dive and interpret in this episode, though I encourage you to also check out the podcast with Jamie so you get hear him talk about it directly.

Taking things easy so you can conserve your energy for when you really need it is a false notion. The problem is when you need to expend that energy, you'll actually have little to spend. Ironically, using your energy begets you more energy. I know, it sounds like an oxymoron but I'll explain to you why it's not in this episode.

This is my review of Cry Macho, a neo-Western drama film directed and produced by Clint Eastwood. Adapted by Nick Schenk, it is based on the 1975 novel of the same name by N. Richard Nash. The plot follows a former rodeo star (Eastwood) who is hired to reunite a young man (Eduardo Minett) in Mexico with his father (Dwight Yoakam) in the United States. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions.

Libraries are really magical places. Yes, you can check out books for free. But there's also so much more at your disposal. For example, there's so much that the LA Library offers me, which I highlight. But even if you don't live in LA, go and ask what your local library offers to you. I'm willing to bet it's a lot that you'll be surprised by.

We officially began production on my 2nd feature film! Well, sorta, kinda... We filmed all the green screen stuff here in LA because it's easier to do here rather than in Colombia where the majority of filming will take place. Also, we filmed this a month and change in advance, just to wet our feet a little AND because these shots will require the most time to complete in terms of the final sequence in the movie. This is what I talk about in this episode of my vlog. But before I fully do, I share things in the week leading up to the shoot. I talk about learning more about make-up and selecting looks for the actors, just like we did with wardrobe. I share how I revised the script yet again to make it tighter/better. And I share a guiding principle for this entire venture, which is I want this to be "better" than my first film AND that it already is. I also talk about Alwin Kuchler (cinematographer for THE MAURITANIAN, STEVE JOBS, DIVERGENT, etc) and how on a recent episode of Team Deakins (https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/alwin-kuchler-cinematographer) he shared a quote that I absolutely love. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in.

Recently, I posted an episode where I discussed that you have to consider how other people's habits and routines apply to your life before adopting them (https://youtu.be/VBEMN8Rr-v4) That was really a jumping off point for me into what I'm terming as "practical self help." And since it's a new revelation, I wanted to do a true deep dive on the subject and bring in varying perspectives to help me see my blind spots. Enter James Lott Jr (@jameslottjr) and Flobo Boyce (@flobito). Together we examine practical self help from all kinds of angles and how you should approach it. One of the big take-aways was that you need to embrace things that seem diametrically opposed. But there's tons of other insights too. So check it out!

IDK about you, but whenever I begin a new project, it's just as daunting as anything I've done before. That shouldn't be. My confidence should be higher, right? Yes and no. Fear and doubt can easily creep in. The way to fight against them is to make a hero list. What's a hero list and how does it benefit you? That's what I go over in this episode.

This is my review of Blue Bayou, a drama film written and directed by Justin Chon. It's about Antonio LeBlanc who is a Korean adoptee raised in a small town in the Louisiana bayou. He's married to the love of his life, Kathy, and raising his beloved stepdaughter, Jessie. Struggling to make a better life for his family, he must soon confront the ghosts of his past after learning that he could be deported from the only country he's ever called home. The film stars Chon, Alicia Vikander, Mark O'Brien, Linh Dan Pham, Sydney Kowalske, Vondie Curtis-Hall and Emory Cohen. Blue Bayou had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in July 13, 2021 and was released in the United States on September 17, 2021, by Focus Features. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions.

In the past week, a number of locations we'd booked for my upcoming movie fell through. Then other things happened as well. That happens all the time in production. Rather than fight against it, you have to learn to embrace it and get creative. That's what the team and I were forced to do. And it's actually working out for the better. This is what I mostly focus on in this vlog, though I do also talk about rehearsals and getting to screen my friend's film. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in. Also, feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Many of us study the habits of successful people because we'd like to emulate them so one day we too can be on their level. However, there's an inherent flaw in trying to mimic their routines exactly, which is they are rich and have a different lifestyle. AKA they have more time, more money and more resources. You can't just look at someone like Beyonce and do what she does. You must study Beyonce's full trajectory and begin where she began WHILE applying the lessons she learned along the way thanks to the benefit of hindsight. Now, you can substitute Beyonce for anyone you look up to, but the principle remains the same: you must make sure other's habits apply to you and your situation. That's what I explore in this episode.

There are many who hold onto this limiting belief that having more money will make a movie better—whether it be a director, producer, actor, cinematographer, etc. Sometimes it might. But other times it can in fact ruin a film's spirit. Famous movies like El Mariachi, Following, Chungking Express, Primer and Coherence would not have benefited from more cash. So stop thinking like this if you're strapped for cash and resources and instead learn to embrace solving solutions with creativity instead. That's what I discuss in this episode. For more, check out Lift-Off Global Network's free workshop (https://youtu.be/KiJZ-qTUEEI) and listen to the Inception story, as I eloquently term it, on the Team Deakins podcast (https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/guy-dyas-production-designer).

Award winning Production Designer Donald Burt (Mank, Social Network, Gone Girl) was a recent guest on the Team Deakins podcast (https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/donald-burt-produciton-designer). During the interview he mention something I'd never considered before in terms of how to approach production design. This really gave me a newfound perspective of how to approach my films and I wanted to share that with you. This lesson is beneficial to not only production designers, but directors, producers, etc. After listening, kindly feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

There's a sense that we're more divided than ever, as if either you're with us or you're with them. I'm of the opinion this is causing us more harm than good. When you choose based on whatever side you're on, you relent your thinking and allow hypocrisy to dominate. This applies to whatever categorization you want to think of. So how do we combat such a thing? We must reflect and make choices based on principles, not the supposed side we're on. This is the idea I explore in this episode, particularly how to begin applying this within your life, especially since it won't always be easy.

This past week I didn't have any immediate tasks that needed to be completed for my upcoming film, which gave me time to both play and reflect. And thankfully I did have that time because mid week. I learned the news that one of my mentors, Pete Chvany, passed away. At the top of the episode I discuss the impact he had on my life and how I'm going about continuing his legacy. Then I discuss how I also reflected on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Now, even though the episode opens heavily, I do transition afterwards to more lighter aspects like how taking time away from your projects and experiencing new things is beneficial, a little insight into my budgeting process and wisdom I'm gaining thanks to other filmmaker friends. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in.

In acting, there's either an internal or external pause that happens. Generally speaking, you don't want external pauses. It's the equivalent to dead air in radio. Internal pauses however are natural and can build tension or allow the audience to process a moment no different than a character (or host). In this episode, I discuss the differences between the two and how to know which is which. Part of how I do this is by playing a 30 second or so clip from Together (starring James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan). This lesson is beneficial to actors, hosts, directors, producers, editors, etc. After listening, kindly feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

The cliche of "it's a marathon, not a sprint" is a cliche because it is true. To have longevity and more importantly to really have your work resonate and stand the test of time, it'll take time and patience. That's hard and there are things in life that offer us short term pleasure. On the surface they are not insidious things, but they become so when they start to really distract you and take you away from those long term goals. Steven Pressfield calls those things shadow careers. Don't fall into those traps. That's what I discuss in this episode. One example I bring up refers back to an episode I did with Elaine Pofeldt which you can check out here: https://youtu.be/u67GstpnMjI.

This is my review of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, a film based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Shang-Chi. It is the 25th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton from a screenplay he wrote with Dave Callaham and Andrew Lanham, from a story by Cretton and Callaham. It stars Simu Liu as Shang-Chi alongside Awkwafina, Meng'er Zhang, Fala Chen, Florian Munteanu, Benedict Wong, Michelle Yeoh, Ben Kingsley, and Tony Leung. In the film, Shang-Chi is forced to confront his past after he is drawn into his father's Ten Rings organization. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions. And BTW, for a fun SPOILER take on the film, check out Screen Rant's Pitch Meetings (https://youtu.be/UIFIZ5V_o2I).

Big announcement: my first movie is finally AVAILABLE to watch publicly! "Love Market" is now on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Love-Market-Amy-Cassandra-Martinez/dp/B09DFS3FTZ/ref=sr_1_14).

As I reflect upon the episodes I've released, most of them are techniques to help you get to a place where you lead with love. When this notion popped into my mind, things clicked where leading with love is the north star—what we should be aspiring toward. But it begs the question, what does leading with love mean and look like? That's exactly what I go over in this lesson.

This is my review of Together, a 2021 British comedy-drama television film written by Dennis Kelly and directed by Stephen Daldry. It stars James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan as a couple re-evaluating their relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Samuel Logan making an appearance as their son, Artie. It was shot in ten days in Kensal Rise, London. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions.

This past week focused on three aspects: the creative, the life aspect and goodwill. In this vlog I break down each of them, starting with how Jonathan Moulton and I spent hours on a Zoom making sure we're on the same page when filming our upcoming feature film. Then I talk about my dog Chloe and how old age is catching up with her, plus the lessons from that. And finally, I discuss the Financially Fit Foundation (https://financiallyfitfoundation.org/site/) which has been instrumental to my life. Through their teachings I've really gotten a hold of my finances and now I'm involved in a greater capacity, both for myself AND for you! Right now I'm learning more about how to speak with a partner about finances, which is so overlooked and yet ultra important. I encourage you to learn more about this subject and other financial topics by signing up for their workshops here https://bit.ly/3bQxigP. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in. Also, feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

As filmmakers (I'm using the term loosely to encompass anyone making video content), we place music into your projects (TV shows, films, etc). And so why not use music as a tool during rehearsals with actors? This will give them a sense of the rhythm of the scene and allow them to more easily slip into character. That's what this episode suggests and so I invite you to try it and see how it goes.

There's a Byron Katie quote that says, "If you argue against reality you will suffer." The irony is most people argue against this reality because they cannot accept it. But when you do, it allows you to be more present and lead with love. That's what I explore in this episode, diving deep and debunking the idea that accepting reality means you have to be a nihilist or cold-hearted. Not at all. Again, I argue it makes you more caring and aware of the moment.

If you're someone like me, you love to learn. But for a long time I didn't do anything with that info. I thought I was smart but really I just knew a bunch of things. I've since come to learn that info without action is meaningless. Or stated differently, knowledge is understanding something, wisdom is doing it. This is what I explore in this lesson and why it applies to your life.

This is my review of Reminiscence, a movie that's not for everyone but if you love film noir and science fiction, then you might enjoy it. Reminiscence is written and directed by Lisa Joy, in her feature directorial debut. The film stars Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, Thandiwe Newton, Cliff Curtis, Marina de Tavira, and Daniel Wu, and follows a man who uses a machine that can see people's memories to try and find his missing love. Joy also produces alongside her husband and creative partner Jonathan Nolan. It's available in theaters and on HBO Max for the first month of release. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its narrative ambition but compared it unfavorably to similarly themed works like The Maltese Falcon and Westworld. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions.

There's a reason why I call myself the 360 creative coach and that's because I believe having talent and skills alone doesn't make you successful—you need to master mental fortitude. That's because every aspect of life has obstacles along the way and if you don't train yourself to overcome them, they'll topple you. And since we're about 2 months away from filming my upcoming movie, I thought it was a good opportunity to recalibrate everyone's mindset. But to do that, I needed to realign myself. In this vlog I discuss my therapy session before my cast rehearsal and the importance of that. Then I highlight Dustin Hoffman's character in Wag The Dog and how I always want to embody the spirit of "This is nothing" as he repeatedly says throughout the film. I talk about the rehearsals themselves and how now I have the footage required to make a full movie rehearsal edit so I can watch it back completely. Now, there were a few sections, like some montages, where we didn't film that and so I used other films' clips as placeholders, but still... I even added temp music so everyone knows the rhythm and feel that I'm going for. This sparked an idea to utilize the temp songs during rehearsals moving forward to fine tune the performances. After discussing movie details, I share some other quick side stuff I've been up to, like the Quest Room escape rooms I did. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in. Also, feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

While I was in college I worked for my film professor Rob Patton-Spruill. It was for his show Garden Girl where I worked alongside several other classmates. One thing we always did at the end of each day was share out highlight/lowlights. This is different than what worked vs what could be improved because highlights/lowlights are meant to be personal and fun. And fun they were. Sharing them each day really brought us closer together because we thought back on the day and many times we got caught up on what people were doing that we had no idea about. So this simple activity is one I recommend to anyone that wants to create a strong group dynamic (whether on a film project or anything else).

The driving force of capitalism based on what you don't have. Let's start flipping that. Instead of defining ourselves by what we lack, let's see ourselves based on what we have. Now, on the surface of it, wanting things isn't a bad thing—it because bad when you're getting more stuff when it's not truly what you want or when you're overspending because you feel like you have to. These are some of the ideas explored in this episode.

This is my review of Free Guy, a 2021 American science fiction action comedy film directed by Shawn Levy from a screenplay by Matt Lieberman and Zak Penn, and a story by Lieberman. The film stars Ryan Reynolds (who also co-produced) as a bank teller who discovers he is actually a non-player character in an open-world video game and decides to become the hero of the story and save his friends from deletion by the game's creator (Taika Waititi). Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Joe Keery also star.. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions.

What a difference a day makes, right? Last week, puzzle pieces (as I like to call them) started falling into place. Part of that was because of having patience. But the other part was because of working towards that. A major part of last week was the final push on our film's crowdfund. I discuss how the campaign went, lessons learned and what's next. Other major milestones from the week include a revised draft of the film's script. In this vlog I talk about the thought process that went into it, especially since we had to cut certain parts we liked. Another big aspect was we're super close to getting the song rights for a music track I love and want for the film. After discussing the film, I talk about the importance of having friends who energize you and also my thoughts on the upcoming CA recall election and how it relates to us all. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in.

Ideas come to us at any moment and if we don't capture them right away, they may leave us forever. This is why it's important to have a note taking system. But that's only step one because writing down ideas doesn't do much. You need to transfer the ideas so you take action. These two tandem notions are what I explore and explain in this episode.

A core component to find success as an artist is financial literacy. I know, I know... It's not creative or sexy. Plus, when you're not making much money and struggling, why bother thinking about it since it only pains you to do so? Well, the only way towards financial freedom is to take the first steps. Understanding your finances, aka financial literacy, is part of phase one. The first step in phase one is to know HOW you are spending your money which means you need to track your expenses. To help you do that, I recommend the Money Management App. It's free and as soon as you make any purchase, you can input it into your phone. But understanding your spending habits and knowing where your money is really going and how much you have left, will allow you to budget properly. But the literal first step IS to track your spending. So download the Money Management App. That's the take-away from this episode. And once you are ready for step two, I encourage you to reach Chelsea Galicia's book S.A.V.E. Yourself: Develop the financial fitness to Spend in Alignment with your Values, not Ego (https://www.amazon.com/S-V-Yourself-financial-Alignment/dp/B088Y1CRH5).

In 1992, NASA had Dr. George Land and Dr. Beth Jarman develop a test designed to identify the capacity for divergent thinking. Their findings were remarkable (https://twentyonetoys.com/blogs/teaching-21st-century-skills/creative-genius-divergent-thinking). At the age of five, 98% of kids tested as geniuses. By adulthood, it dropped to less than 2%. Why this drop? Sir Ken Robinson's TED Talk helps explain that (https://youtu.be/iG9CE55wbtY) and showcase that the answer is creativity. Imagination is the key to genius in all disciplines of life. Which begs the question why do so many of us lose our creativity? It all boils down to fear, sadly. Fear of failure. Fear of looking stupid. Fear of being judged. Fear of wasting time, etc. So how do we overcome this? Is it possible to overcome even? I say yes! Much like my ideas about talent being a process, not a skill (https://philsvitek.com/talent-is-not-a-skill-its-a-process/), so too is creativity. You can practice and relearn creativity. Susan Roberts has some good guiding wisdom for this (https://player.fm/series/unleash-your-inner-creative-with-lauren-lograsso/best-of-unleash-overcome-negativity-bias-w-susan-robertson). These ideas are the basis for this episode and the notions I unpack to help you reach your genius. We all have it within us.

Last Monday, technology just didn't work the way it was supposed to and it continued all week, affecting my work computer and phone. While frustrating, I did have alternative methods to get the things I needed to done. In this vlog, I discuss how you too can have a similar approach so if things go wrong it won't be a total nightmare. Then I transition into upcoming film and how preparations continue with it. All in all we've got 2.5 months left before filming begins. For more context on the project, visit https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy.

There's a "game," or technique if you want to call it that, you can try during rehearsals with your actors. I call it the One Word Subtext game. How it works is every actor must say their line of dialogue using only one word. It doesn't matter if the line is short or a full monologue. They have to deduce it down to a single word. It's fun but more importantly it forces the actors to think about the essence of each verbal line. This also allows you to gauge how they are interpreting the subtext, because the word chosen will underscore the subtext the character is feeling. For all these reasons, I encourage you to try it.

We finished my first feature film back in early March 2020, but understandably because of the pandemic, we never got a chance to watch the final product as a cast & crew. So in 2021, I made it a resolution (or goal is more apt) to have one, even if it was small and intimate. That dream came true finally. Last Thursday we finally got a chance to watch the movie together! And what an experience it was. I share the many insights I had from the experience and why it's important to have moments like that. Then I transition into upcoming projects. I begin with updates about my upcoming film (for more context on the project, visit https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm). After, I discuss my dream of building a video dome like the Mandalorian uses for filming (https://youtu.be/Ufp8weYYDE8). But there's a larger point in talking about this, which is to always start with the ideal and deconstruct it backwards from there. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy.

The world isn't binary as we'd often make it out to be. This is hard to conceptualize because it requires more effort. But the truth is we live in an "and" world, not an "or" world. In this episode, I explore what that means and why it actually matters in your like AKA how it benefits you.

This is my review of Old, a thriller film written, directed, and co-produced by M. Night Shyamalan, loosely based on the Swiss graphic novel Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters. The film's ensemble cast includes Gael García Bernal, Vicky Krieps, Eliza Scanlen, Thomasin McKenzie, Alex Wolff, Abbey Lee, Aaron Pierre, Rufus Sewell, Ken Leung, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Embeth Davidtz, Emun Elliott, and Kathleen Chalfant. The film follows a group of people who find themselves aging rapidly on a secluded beach from which they cannot escape. At the top I give my non-spoiler thoughts and then (with a warning) enter spoiler territory. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions. Also, I'm in pre-production of my 2nd feature film and it's mean the world to to me and the team if you checked out our crowdfund: https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm.

Hello, I’m filmmaker Phil Svitek and I've gotten together with my talent friends to make a feature film called Autumn Into Fall. It’s about Neel who’s turning 35 and still hasn’t found purpose. Even if he did, he doesn’t have anyone to share life’s beautiful moments with. He hopes that a trip to Bogota provides the spark he needs. Meanwhile, Violet studied abroad there and brought her two best friends to recreate the fun she had in hopes to soften the blow when she gets married and moves away. Their worlds collide when they bump into each other. As they grow closer, it could spell disaster for their lives back home. To help us make this film, we've launched a crowdfund that's only got a few weeks left. It'd mean the world to us if you at least checked it out—https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm. More information about the film can be found there.
A preliminary filming schedule and shot list have been completed on my upcoming feature film (for more context on the project, visit https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm)! This is a major step as it allows the production team to have meaningful dialogue and move forward with logistics. I also talk about how it's okay for artists to have different processes in achieving results. Then I discuss the importance of physical activity for one's mental health, provide so actor rehearsal techniques and round things out by talking how deconstructing something is only useful when it serves a purpose. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in. Also, feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

With video footage being 4K and upwards nowadays, it means file sizes are HUGE. So how does one edit with such large files. Enter proxies! Proxies are a smaller, lower resolution version of your footage used as an intermediary so you can edit smoother and faster. And Adobe's made it really easy to create them and then relink to your full resolution footage. This is a tutorial on how the process works.

This is my review of Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain. It's a documentary film directed and produced by Morgan Neville. The film follows the life and career of Anthony Bourdain, who died by suicide on June 8, 2018 at the age of 61 while on location in France for his CNN show Parts Unknown. The documentary features interviews with David Chang and Éric Ripert, as well as members of the production crew from Parts Unknown. The title alludes to "Roadrunner", a song by The Modern Lovers, that appears in the film.It follows the life and career of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain. The film had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 11, 2021, and was released in the United States on July 16, 2021 by Focus Features. It received critical acclaim, but it also garnered controversy over its use of artificial intelligence technology to reproduce Bourdain's voice for some audio clips. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions. Also, I'm in pre-production of my 2nd feature film and it's mean the world to to me and the team if you checked out our crowdfund: https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm.

It's tough to tell anyone, including yourself, that what you're feeling is wrong. Emotions are personal and everyone is allowed to feel however they may be feeling. However, a lot of times, our emotions can be an unconscious reaction to realities we've created in our mind, rather than truth and actuality. And if there's any goal of self help, it's to be present and experience the world as it is. Only way to to do that is to ground yourself in truth. This episode explores how to do that. After listening, kindly feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Lots of things got accomplished in the past week on my upcoming film (for more context on the project, visit https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm). A big accomplishments was that cast & crew flights were booked! That's a big step forward. Likewise, I had a 2nd solo rehearsal with the guys this week and this weekend I had my 1st solo rehearsal with the girls. Both went amazing. We're seeing the words come to life, we're trying out new things to make actions and dialogue more natural and overall having fun with it. Additionally, I talk about upcoming rehearsals, creating a shot list, scheduling the film and setting a deadline for costuming. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy.

This is my review of Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, the sequel to Escape Room. It's psychological horror film directed by Adam Robitel and written by Will Honley, Maria Melnik, Daniel Tuch, and Oren Uziel that stars Taylor Russell and Logan Miller reprising their roles from the first film, alongside new cast members Indya Moore, Holland Roden, Thomas Cocquerel, and Carlito Olivero. The premise is: after surviving a series of harrowing, deadly escape rooms designed by Minos Escape Rooms Corporation, Zoey and Ben are determined to bring it to justice for the personally witnessed deaths of those who hadn't survived them. On their way to confront Minos in New York City, they are unexpectedly trapped with several other survivors of other escape rooms. They must all work together to get through yet another gauntlet of Minos' more elaborate and dangerous escape rooms if they are to have any hope of putting a stop to its murderous games once and for all.

A few months ago, I released a short proof of concept film called Playtest (https://youtu.be/qGbw1So77yg). It was shot in a similar fashion as Sin City, where actors act against a green screen and everything else gets added in later.

A few months ago, I released a short proof of concept film called Playtest (https://youtu.be/qGbw1So77yg).

Last week I focused on coordinating various team members of our upcoming film so that way we were working in unison, as opposed to on parallel tracks (for more context on the project, visit https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm). Part of ensuring that was getting an updated script to everyone. We also had our second round of rehearsals and I intercut the new footage with scenes from last time. Slowly but surely we're seeing it come to life. In discussing rehearsals, I overview my methodology and how the belief of "practice makes permanent" (full episode on the subject here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXxoYIy3p9o) drives my decision making. I also share my trick for editing the takes fast into the timeline. This episode isn't just for filmmakers. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in.

This is my review of Black Widow, the latest Marvel Studios film. In the first part, I do non-spoilers and then in the second part, I open it up to spoilers (with a warning beforehand). Black Widow is the 24th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film was directed by Cate Shortland from a screenplay by Eric Pearson, and stars Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow alongside Florence Pugh, David Harbour, O-T Fagbenle, Olga Kurylenko, William Hurt, Ray Winstone, and Rachel Weisz. Set after the events of Captain America: Civil War (2016), the film sees Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, confront the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy, and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions. Also, I'm in pre-production of my 2nd feature film and it's mean the world to to me and the team if you checked out our crowdfund: https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm.

One of my main guiding principles is to study as many artists across various disciplines as I can. This is because I love to discover the process that allowed them to create the work that they did. And what you learn by doing this is there's no one single way to accomplish something. There may be best practices, but at the end of the day, the focus for every artist should be the final product. And one notion I've been noticing lately is people who are starting off, have this idea that there is a "right way" to do something and by default assume anything else is wrong. Why? This is what I want make sure you don't ever think. That's what I go in detail with this episode. After listening, kindly feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Hosts Stef Zeh (@IAmStefZ) and Amy Maestri (@AmyMaestri) join me for an in depth analysis of HBO Max & CNN's new documentary LFG. It's directed and produced by Andrea Nix Fine and Sean Fine, with Nix Fine also serving as a writer. It follows Megan Rapinoe, Jessica McDonald, Becky Sauerbrunn, Kelley O'Hara, Christen Press, Sam Mewis and Julie Foudy, as they sue the United States Soccer Federation for pay discrimination. Our conversation about it runs the gamut because the documentary itself raises so many pertinent issues as it relates to sports but also the larger culture. Throughout, we aim to offer solutions each of us can take to push these issues forward. One that I forgot to mention during the show is to not be afraid to talk about salaries with your coworkers. Knowledge is power to knowing one's worth and how that worth is being perceived by management. Listen to our thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions. And if you enjoy films that showcase the true depth of humanity and real issues people face on a day to day, then kindly check out my team's crowdfund for our upcoming feature film: https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm.

I think it's safe to assume the vast major of content creators would love to make their living from their art. And many artists I observe or talk to obsess over this, sometimes to the point in stifles them. With this episode, I want to have an honest conversation about making money from your art, what it takes, how you have to approach it, the expectations you should set and so on. While it might not be the inspiration speech you were looking for, it does offer you tangible action steps to realize your dreams. And that's ultimately more important than wishful thinking. During the episode, I discuss the importance failure plays and here's a link to the episode I reference: https://simonsinek.com/discover/episode-37-the-value-of-failing-with-suneel-gupta/. Also, here's the video about how winning isn't fair: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2558651011098469. After listening, kindly feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Also, it'd mean the world to me if you checked out my latest film's crowdfunding page over at https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm.

Last week the primary focus was the logistical side of my upcoming feature film (for more context on the project, visit https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm). There was deal memos, planning sequences visual, prop lists, costuming, etc. As I was working on these, something unexpected yet magical happened. I share what that was and how it came to be—more importantly, I highlight how you too can benefit from the same in your life. This episode isn't just for filmmakers. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in.

No one will ever see what you're not working on. And there's a perspective on this that's motiving. It pushes us to create things. That's good. But like all things there's a flip side to this.

Deep down, I believe each of us want to have a significant impact on the world around us. And we should want that. But it's important we consider how impact actually works and furthermore, our motives for the impact. Life in nuanced and unless examined properly, our actions can have unintended consequences. These are the things I explore in this episode.

This is my review of Zola, the latest A24 film. In the first part, I do non-spoilers and then in the second part, I open it up to spoilers (with a warning beforehand). Zola (stylized as @zola) is a biographical comedy-drama film directed by Janicza Bravo, from a screenplay by Bravo and Jeremy O. Harris. It is based on a viral Twitter thread by Aziah "Zola" King and the resulting Rolling Stone article "Zola Tells All: The Real Story Behind the Greatest Stripper Saga Ever Tweeted" by David Kushner. It stars Taylour Paige, Riley Keough, Nicholas Braun, Ari'el Stachel, Colman Domingo and Ts Madison. The film is based on an infamous 148-tweet Twitter thread in which Zola meets a sex worker named Stefani at a restaurant where Zola waitresses, and the two immediately bond over pole dancing. Only a day after they exchange numbers, Stefani invites Zola on a cross-country road trip, where the goal is to make as much money as possible dancing in Florida strip clubs. Zola agrees, and suddenly she is trapped in the craziest, most unexpected trip of her life, partaking in a wild two-day trip with Stefani, her boyfriend Derrek, and Stefani's violent pimp, X. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions. And if you enjoy more realistic films like this, ones that showcase there's plenty of conflict in the world we know, then check out my team's crowdfund for our upcoming feature film: https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm.

In a past episode (https://youtu.be/cOuQTByDfPM) I discussed how to turn old gear into cash. I wanted to do a quick follow up to that and say sometimes the value they deem that gear to be isn't correct. So always ask them to do a re-evaluation and get quotes from other places as well. Get the value you deserve so you can use that money to help fund your future creative endeavors. Speaking of funding next projects, it'd mean the world to me if you checked out my film's crowdfunding page over at https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm.

In this vlog episode, I talk about last week's action items related to my upcoming feature film (For more context on the project, visit https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm). I go over revisions on the script and how many tiny changes add up to sweeping improvements. Then I discuss in person rehearsals with the main cast and how my approach is different than most. I jokingly say I'm more of a European director versus an American one and dive into how that may relate to you. Then I highlight working on the ins and outs of creating a "guidebook" for the actors and crew. Afterward, I shift gears and talk about trading in old gear and tips for you. Finally, I round things out by reflecting on the importance of really being there for people in life. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. Thanks for tuning in.

This is my review of F9, the latest film in The Fast Saga. In the first part, I do non-spoilers and then in the second part, I open it up to spoilers (with a warning beforehand). F9 (also known as Fast & Furious 9) is an action film directed by Justin Lin. It is the sequel to The Fate of the Furious (2017). The first film since Fast & Furious 6 (2013) to be directed by Lin and the first since 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) not to be written by Chris Morgan, F9 stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, John Cena, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Michael Rooker, Helen Mirren, Kurt Russell, and Charlize Theron. It’s about Dom Toretto who is living the quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, but they know that danger always lurks just over the peaceful horizon. This time, that threat forces Dom to confront the sins of his past to save those he loves most. His crew soon comes together to stop a world-shattering plot by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they've ever encountered -- Dom's forsaken brother. Listen to my thoughts and afterward, please share your opinions or questions. FYI, if you’re curious, here’s a copy of the original movie’s (The Fast and the Furious) script: https://www.imaginatemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/The-Fast-and-the-Furious-SCRIPT-2.pdf

In this vlog episode, I talk about the creative project that consumes me (in a good way). I overview how I launched a crowdfund for and how that's going along with strategies I'm employing to make it successful. BTW, here's a link to the crowdfund if you'd like to contribute (https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm) and here's a link to tips from Tim Ferriss on how to make a crowdfund succeed (https://tim.blog/2012/12/18/hacking-kickstarter-how-to-raise-100000-in-10-days-includes-successful-templates-e-mails-etc/). While discussing this, I also talk about being a guest on The Positivity Report (https://youtu.be/eLNulYzKowU) and how I used that as the reason to launch the crowdfund. Plus, I share a moment where someone credible validated a long standing theory of mine, which felt nice. Then I shift gears and talk about the creative side of the project, going over the rewrites, rehearsals and the way that's coming together. There's lots of nuggets in there for you to utilize, so enjoy. PS: I also quip about Euro 2020. Thanks for tuning in.

This is my review of In The Heights. In the first part, I do non-spoilers and then in the second part, I open it up to spoilers (with a warning beforehand). In the Heights is a musical drama film based on the stage musical of the same name by Quiara Alegría Hudes and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Directed by Jon M. Chu from a screenplay by Hudes, the film stars Anthony Ramos, Corey Hawkins, Leslie Grace, Melissa Barrera, Olga Merediz, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Gregory Diaz IV, and Jimmy Smits. The film follows a similar plot to the musical, telling the story of a corner in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Upper Manhattan in New York City, where each member of the community pursues their dream of a better life. Listen and afterward, please share some thoughts or questions.

Hello, I’m filmmaker Phil Svitek and my upcoming project is Autumn Into Fall (crowdfund link—https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm). It’s about Neel who’s turning 35 and still hasn’t found purpose. Even if he did, he doesn’t have anyone to share life’s beautiful moments with. He hopes that a trip to Bogota provides the spark he needs. Meanwhile, Violet studied abroad there and brought her two best friends to recreate the fun she had in hopes to soften the blow when she gets married and moves away. Their worlds collide when they bump into each other. As they grow closer, it could spell disaster for their lives back home.
Now you might be asking yourself why Bogota of all places? Well, I have a friend named Edgar who lives in Bogota and one of the main actresses is Colombian. And it’s a place I’m deeply fascinated by given its rich history and culture, far beyond the drugs and violence many of us associate with Colombia. I want to showcase that. In addition to my own research and insights, I’m leaning heavily on those I mentioned to make sure the film is authentic and respectful of their country.
As far as inspiration goes, directors like Wong Kar-wai, Greta Gerwig, Richard Linklater, Chloe Zhao and Robert Rodriquez shaped me—mavericks whose style is uniquely their own, yet the stories are universal. And that’s my goal as well.
Last year I finished my feature directorial debut about people searching for love in downtown LA. For my second film, I want to be even bolder. That’s why I wrote a story about Americans in Bogota, Colombia. Here, their worldviews get challenged and it leads to life altering epiphanies, no different than you’d see in movies like Before Sunrise, Happy Together or Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
To help the cast, the crew and me pull this off, we’re asking for your contribution, however large or small. We’re all indie filmmakers at heart and know how to truly stretch a budget. Everyone involved is a friend of mine. They are people who I trust implicitly. But I’ve chosen them not only for that reason. They are also incredibly talented, and I want you and the world to see their skills on display.
With your contribution, it’ll make our jobs that much easier. And in return, not only will you bring this project to life, but we’ve included perks based on the level of your contribution as a reward. Thank you taking the time to consider donating to our project. If you can't make a financial contribution at this time, then please at least share this project with your friends and family across social media.
Hiatus is over! On this edition of my vlog I catch you up on the project I've been working on, which is another film! And it's into pre-production. (If you'd like to help the team and me finance this movie, check out our Indiegogo page at https://igg.me/at/philsvitekfilm). I discuss the writing process, meeting with the cast, getting notes from people to make sure the script is as authentic as it can be, why I launched the crowdfund earlier and more. Plus I talk about shifting your mentality to utilize the resources around you instead of being wasteful and how I'm making extra cash thanks to spring cleaning. Thanks for tuning in. Also, feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Director Wong Kar-Wai is known for many wonderful films including AFI's top 100 film Chungking Express, Happy Together, In the Mood for Love and so on. I recently came across a quote of his that highlights his filmmaking ideology that I couldn't resist sharing. It puts to words something I've felt but wasn't able to express. His words underscore an important aspect, not just in filmmaking, but with art in general so I know it can help you. That's what I explore in this episode.

In the entrepreneur and start-up world, company culture gets talked about a lot. As such, I figure it's time to really consider what this means, how it's created and shaped.

This is my review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw. In the first part, I do non-spoilers and then in the second part, I open it up to spoilers (with a warning beforehand). Spiral is a horror film directed by Darren Lynn Bousman and written by Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger. It is the ninth installment in the Saw film series. The film stars Chris Rock, Max Minghella, Marisol Nichols, and Samuel L. Jackson, and follows police efforts to stop a Jigsaw copycat killer. The original creators of the series, James Wan and Leigh Whannell, serve as executive producers alongside Rock. Listen and afterward, please share some thoughts or questions.

Ever watch a movie or read a book and think to yourself, "Wow, this narrative thread was introduced and it never paid off." Well, as a writer of any kind, I'd think you'd like to avoid that as much as possible. That's what this episode explores. In it I give you a technique that works for me to avoid plot holes and stray plot points.

As an indie filmmaker, YouTuber or content creator in general, it can be difficult to film in low light situations. But there's ways to capture a good image using 6 techniques. 1) Add more light. 2) Utilize the darkness. 3) Open the aperture. 4) Reduce the frame rate. 5) Reduce the shutter speed/make the shutter angle wider. 6) Increase the ISO.

Many of us, without knowing it, are not choosing a future we want. We simply react to one we don't want. That makes us passengers of life. Let's stop. Instead, decide on what future you want and work towards it. That's what I go over in this episode.

Remote working was already growing in the film world but it grew exponentially in the past year. One tool to help people in post-production be able to connect easier is Bebop Technology (http://www.beboptechnology.com/). I think of it like Dropbox meets TeamViewer. You can access a powerful computer in the cloud, use your favorite creative tools virtually, from anywhere, anytime. All you need is a computer and an internet connection!

Another week, another vlog. In this episode I talk about my 2 steps forward, 1 step back approach to writing. I reveal how a Zoom call with people involved on the project opened me up creatively, including what was intended to be a throwaway suggestion turned into a large key to unlock the plot. Then, I shift gears and reflect upon how little we know people and yet if we remain curious and kind, we can find inspiration is so many people around us. Lastly, I raise the idea that emotions can change like the wind. This can be a bad thing, but you can also use it to your advantage. Thanks for tuning in.

David Foster Wallace delivered one of the best speeches I've heard called This Is Water (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CrOL-ydFMI). In it, he talks about the importance of choosing what you believe and how you construct meaning because otherwise your natural, egotistical default setting kicks in. I think this is important to reflect upon and unpack. I worry that we hold the wrong people in high esteem and care mostly about the common denominator. How did it come to this? What can you do about it? These are a few of the questions I tackled in this spirited (and explicit) episode.

In the past I've talked about Byron Katie's "The Work" as being a free and effective way to release yourself of your negative thoughts and beliefs (https://philsvitek.com/the-power-of-byron-katies-work-the-effects-it-can-have-on-your-life/). And I still wholeheartedly believe in that work. As an alternative though, or perhaps in tandem with, I recommend to you Diederik Wolsak's Choose Again protocol. It's six simple steps to freedom. And it's free AND you can do it on your own. Today I highlight how.

This week I've reached the 800 episode milestone on my YouTube channel. That's a major accomplishment, yet it doesn't include the 60k+ shows I've in my past. I reflect back on what it takes to create content at scale. Some influences I reference are Seth Godin and Gary Vee. Plus I site some of my earlier work, which you can check out (how to systematize episode: https://philsvitek.com/importance-of-routines-systems/ and growth vs maintenance tasks: https://philsvitek.com/dealing-with-everyday-tasks/).

What's the meaning of life? It's a question humans have been asking since the beginning of time. So what's the answer? Well, after studying and learning about many philosophies, religions and self-help techniques, I deduce the wisdom of the giants that come before me into something simple and applicable.

Another week, another vlog. In this episode I discuss research for an upcoming script and how in spite of the digital age we live in, access to certain country’s art is extremely limited. I talk about writing the script and things I’m considering to raise some extra funds for the project. Then I shift gears and raise the idea of what it means to truly “make it” and why I’d rather look at myself as a renegade and iconoclast than merely try to find myself within the Hollywood system. Plus I go over the need to listen to your gut and the red flags it raises. Finally, I bring up FOMO now that the world is returning to familiarity. Thanks for tuning in.

Another week, another vlog. I highlight my creative journey to offer inspiration and specific take-aways for you. In this edition, I talk about how during a Zoom reunion I was reminded of a "just cause." Reflecting back on it, I share how selfishness can be useful depending on how it's channeled. Then I share updates on several projects and how in spite of other things getting in the way, progress of any kind is progress. Thanks for tuning in.

As content creators, we create lots of work for ourselves as well as for others. It's necessary to have backups of your work. And it's especially important that you have a copy (digital or physical) of the stuff that's not your own. Any movie I've worked on, I now make it a point to buy a BluRay copy of it so that way even if streaming platforms don't carry it, I'll always have it. If some of the projects you've worked on live on sites like YouTube, download a digital copy for safe keeping because you never know when it might be gone.

"Vulnerability minus boundaries is not vulnerability," argues Brene Brown. Much of her work explores what true vulnerability looks like. And she believes that whenever someone overshares on social media, they're not vulnerable, they're seeking validation. This is an interesting notion I wanted to explore, which is what this episode is about. I consider if there are times sharing on social media is actually an act of vulnerability and how to qualify those times. Furthermore, what this means and how it impacts you and your work.

On a recent episode of A Bit of Optimism, Simon Sinek interviewed Brene Brown (https://simonsinek.com/discover/episode-27-the-one-with-brene-brown/). During their discussion they talked about raising kids and to prevent them from pain and trauma. Brene made a distinction that you can raise your kids to deal with adversity but without the trauma. This was a fascinating notion because the same principle can (and should) apply with mentorship, coaching, friendships and basically any relationship. With this episode, I explore how this could work, how to approach it in your life and do it effectively.

I've been on a war path against creative fear. I see it in evidenced in so many people, including the people I know. It restricts them so much and prevents them from making the art they want and audiences deserve. Even advice from well meaning friends can actually be masked as creative fear. This episode is my war cry to you to stop and say f#c* creative fear. It's time to let that $h!& go! I hope you're inspired, motivated and most importantly liberated by this.

Ray Dalio is an American billionaire investor and hedge fund manager, who has served as co-chief investment officer of the world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, since 1985. He founded Bridgewater in 1971 in New York. In order to be successful, he had to form a strong team, which meant getting to know them and their strengths. That's why he's been using an internal personality test to have each employee understand themselves better and in turn that helps the company place people in the best positions. As Ray says, "Personality assessments are valuable tools for getting a quick picture of what people are like in terms of their abilities, preferences, and style. They are often more objective and reliable than interviews. Because I’m keen to help people know what they’re like, know what the people around them are like, and help them get what they want, I created PrinciplesYou with 3 great personality experts." Now this invaluable tool is available to you, for FREE. Just go to http://principlesyou.com. FYI, this episode is about me sharing how to best approach this assessment. After listening and taking the assessment, kindly feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Thanks for checking out my vlog, where I highlight my creative journey to offer inspiration and specific take-aways for you. In this episode, I update you on progress in developing my feature film In Search of Sunrise. But because it is a project that will require time and patience (in spite of weekly tasks), I have been getting creatively restless and thinking about what's next. What project makes the most sense for me to tackle next? I explore this question and how I've been approaching it. Then I shift gears and talk about doing some work for a nonprofit and how it's important to use your talents for the benefit of something greater than yourself. Thanks for tuning in.

Many people I observe in life and on social media seem to view life through a binary lens—this or that. I don't understand why when 2 things can be true at the same time. In this episode I reflect upon this notion and why it's important, especially as artists, to understand this.

Brene Brown was a recent guest on Simon Sinek's podcast called A Bit of Optimism (https://simonsinek.com/discover/episode-27-the-one-with-brene-brown/). It was a wonderful treat because I have so much respect for both of them. And during their conversation, a topic that came up was the idea of vision vs logistics. Which begs the question, which is more important? Well, based on the insights they provided, it helped clarify my approach and so that's what I share in this episode. At first I discuss it from the point of running a company. But fear not, I then extract those take-aways and apply them to us solo artists. Or at least artists without many resources.

Jenna Lyons, an American fashion designer, appeared on a recent episode of The Goop Beauty Closet (https://goop.com/beauty-closet-podcast/a-style-gurus-new-obsession-fantastic-lashes/) where she shared valuable insights. One that stood out to me was when she was asked about how she thought about advancing in her career. Her response was thoughtful and made me reflect and I think it's something valuable to us all. So that's what I share in this episode: her answer and how I am considering it and how you too.

Recording podcast interviews or auditioning over Zoom? Doing live streamings? If so, this episode may be for you, especially if you're just using your built in computer camera. There's a way to enhance your picture quality. The traditional way is to buy a web cam or connect a camera. Both cost money. But if you use EpocCam (https://www.elgato.com/en/epoccam) you can easily transform your mobile companion into a high definition Mac or PC webcam. Shout out to Cristal McLaughlin (@Cristal823) for turning me onto this.

Thanks for checking out my vlog, where I highlight my creative journey to offer inspiration and specific take-aways for you. In this episode, I talk about writing film grants and how in spite of doing the work, imposter syndrome can set in. I tie this to how most people operate out of creative fear. I discuss switching a novel idea into an audio drama and how I'm going about it. In discussing this, I dive deeper into the publishing world and the things I've learned and how I'm approaching my nonfiction books currently. Lastly, I talk about contemplating doing an "in-between" film. Thanks for tuning in.

Recently I saw Hulu's We Work documentary (full title: We Work Or The Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn) and it made me consider why some noble ideas and causes end up going horrible. Or worse, become harmful to its employees and possibly society. This is the question I explore in this episode. I also use examples such as NASA and Churchill to illustrate my points.

I know people who complain because they send out so many inquiries to people yet never get a positive response. And the #1 reason I see this happening once we examine it, is because what they send out is generic. It's a template they've created and they just change the name at the top. Who receiving this is going to react well to this? Would you? People are smart. They know it's generic. They know when you're just spraying and praying. Instead, customize each of your query letters, pitches, job applications, etc. It's way more time consuming but yields far better results, even if the answer is no. In this episode I give some insights into how I approach this.

There's nothing wrong with being a hobbyist, someone who enjoys making art for their own personal interest. But if someone wants to be a professional at it, there's distinctions that have to be understood. In this episode I explore one of the many distinctions that separates an artist vs a professional.

On a recent episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, he interviewed Balaji Srinivasan (https://tim.blog/2021/03/24/balaji-srinivasan/). There were so many notions brought up over the course of the 3+ hour interview, but one in particular that stood out to me was this idea that only amateurs focus on strategy while professionals hone in on logistics. As someone who uses the word strategy often, this made me be self reflective. This episode shares some of those thoughts.

When I was younger, as a filmmaker I thought that once a project the entered pre-production phase, no further revisions were needed of a script. That's false. Even though a script is not only workable but great, it still could use a polish. Keep taking every opportunity you can to improve a script, especially before filming it.

It's true — sometimes you need to hear a message multiple times for it to really sink in. For me, that message was Gary Vee's distinction between trying to convince people vs having conviction in what you're doing. It might sound minor but when applied it makes a huge impact. That's what I discuss in this episode. I also tie in a lesson from Tim Ferriss.

Welcome to the virtual premiere of Playtest, a short film that acts as a proof of concept for a feature script called In Search of Sunrise. This event is hosted by Alina Vission (@AlinaVission). (TO WATCH THE EVENT, GO TO https://youtu.be/mVhgNV8H-kY). After the viewing of the film is a Q&A with Phil Svitek and those involved with the project. The premise of the film is: Aya's father is a tech guru who creates an immersive virtual entertainment experience that claims to fully cater to a user's unconscious desires. She feels this invention aims to spite her for not following in his footsteps by proving to her that art can be manufactured. Art, Aya believes, is too rooted in human emotion and no machine can truly replicate the depth of connection that human creativity does.

After watching, it'd mean a lot to mean if you can share your thoughts down in the comment section. And if you really enjoyed it, please share it.

While Clubhouse is a fantastic app, the only downside is a lot of those wonderful conversations on it aren't heard. This is because those not live in the room when it happened aren't able to hear them. That's because Clubhouse doesn't natively allow you to record the discussions. But there is a way to do it. In this episode I show you how I do it. Please note, whenever you record a session YOU MUST announce it to audiences and it should be a room you're in charge of. Also, write it into the description so people joining on the fly are aware. After listening, kindly feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Also, feel free to join Tony Becerra and me each Wednesday at 8pm PT to discuss new movies!

Every Wednesday 8pm PT, Tony Becerra (@TonyBToeKnee and I (@PhilSvitek) discuss a new movie on Clubhouse with audience members. (You're welcome to join us on future episodes). This is our Minari recorded spoiler conversation. Minari (Korean: transl. water celery) is a 2020 American drama film written and directed by Lee Isaac Chung. It stars Steven Yeun, Han Ye-ri, Alan Kim, Noel Kate Cho, Youn Yuh-jung, and Will Patton. A semi-autobiographical take on Chung's upbringing, the plot follows a family of South Korean immigrants who try to make it in rural America during the 1980s. If you've seen it, listen to our take on it. And afterwards, please share some thoughts or questions.

Thanks for checking out my vlog, where I highlight my creative journey to offer inspiration and specific take-aways for you. In this episode, I talk about how patience pays off and what a difference a year makes. It was around this time last year that I started sending out query letters to literary agents and publishers. And after many, many, MANY rejections, I was ready to say "let me just self publish." And then I get a response from someone saying they'd like to read the full manuscript! And it's at company that also represents scripts. The timing for me couldn't be better since I have both, and a new novel idea to boot. I discuss the lessons learned from this experience, namely you never know when your opportunity will arrive and that's why you can't beat yourself up over supposed "missed opportunities" as long as you continue working hard. Plus I announce the completion of my proof of concept and how you can participate in the virtual premiere this Saturday April 3rd at 11am PT via this link: http://tinyurl.com/playtestpremiere (no registration needed, it's just a YouTube live event). So set a reminder and if you'd be so kind, please share it with friends and family.

Society pressures us to work nonstop. This messes with us. But there's a John Lennon quote I love that goes, "Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted." I discuss how I think about this and more importantly how I apply it to my life in such a way where I'm still productive yet can have moments of laziness and relaxation.

Friend and host Jaimi Alexander (@JaimiAlexander) joins me on my unofficial Quarantine Anniversary show — I say this because just over a year ago Jaimi joined me for a set of shows (https://philsvitek.com/tried-and-tested-ep-16-of-a-phil-svitek-vlog-with-jaimi-alexander/). It was fun to catch up with her and hear the lessons she's learned and that are serving her well. We talk about Joe Dispenza and the various ways to manifest the future you want. We also discuss the importance of continuing to create content and how it's easier than ever but that you also need to take a step back and enjoy life at times. Plus we round out the discussion by talking about social justice. I learned a lot AND I was inspired. And I think you can benefit the same way. So listen and enjoy.

In this episode Tony Becerra and I discuss Zack Snyder's Justice League (SPOILER WARNING). Often referred to as the "Snyder Cut", it is the 2021 director's cut of the 2017 American superhero film Justice League. It presents Justice League—the fifth film of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) and based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name—as director Zack Snyder had intended it before he left the production. Like the theatrical release, Zack Snyder's Justice League follows the Justice League—Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and the Flash (Ezra Miller)—as they attempt to save the world from the catastrophic threat of Darkseid (Ray Porter), Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds), and their army of Parademons. If you've seen it, listen to our take of it. And afterwards, please share some thoughts or questions. PS: For future movie discussions, join us every Wednesday night on Clubhouse at 8pm PT.

As your status grows in life, more people will approach you to "pick your brain" and whatnot. How do you decide who to give your time to fairly? It's a question I've considered over and over again.

A common phrase many of us here is to fight fire with fire. Why? As Benjamin Hoff points out in The Tao of Pooh, it's not effective. You should fight fire with water. This is a metaphor of course we need to consider its wider implications in our life. This is what I explore today and invite you to consider the areas of your life where you've been fighting fire with fire instead of water. Also, I discuss how sometimes we get caught up in battles that aren't worth fighting for. This is problematic because there are so many issues actually worth fighting for in life. I'm not here to define those for you, but I find most times the things we get caught up in, don't even align with what we truly care about. So have intention with the battles you select.

Great sports teams manage a victory even on days they're not playing well and are frustrated. As an artist, you'll have bad days at the office too. Sometimes, it won't be anything you can point to, it'll just be the way it is in spite of your sincerest and best efforts. When this happens, you have to accept it and play through like sports teams. It's why I'm such an advocate of mastering mental fortitude. This is what I explore within this episode. During my lesson, I reference an earlier episode called "Going Back to the Basics". You can listen to that one here: https://philsvitek.com/going-back-to-the-basics/.

Adam Grant came out with an incredible book called Think Again. One of the insights from the book is to stop identifying people based on binary roles society has lumped most people into. Instead, recognize people based on their values. It much better for everyone. This is the notion I explore in this episode.

Creatively, I've tackled both book writing and script writing. And both are fun for me, but there's specific reasons why I choose to write a script over a novel and vice versa.

In this episode, I get together with my former co-hosts @Christiandmz, @Tonybtoeknee & @Stephsabraw (footage missing) for a special South Park Vaccination Special review. We discuss March 10, 2021's episode where residents of South Park clamor for the COVID-19 vaccine, while conspiracy theorists oppose vaccinations. In a subplot, main characters Cartman, Stan and Kyle re-evaluate their friendship, which has been tested and damaged by the pandemic.

Contracts for creatives may have a negative connotation. They may seem too formal, slow down the process and be antithetical to creativity itself. But they're important on any creative project you work on, even ones with friends who are doing it as a passion project. Have a scope of work, a deal memo, term sheet, etc allows a level of comfort for everyone so they know what's required of them and what's not. It allows each personal to be a professional in their area of expertise. These are just some of the benefits. I highlight more in this episode as well as how to go about structuring these.

Thanks for checking out my vlog, where I highlight my creative journey to offer inspiration and specific take-aways. In this episode, I discuss how even the best sports teams in the world sometimes have bad games but manage to scrape out a victory. The same applies for creatives. Last week felt like that. I also talk about the necessity of having difficult conversations in order to be successful. And I consider self publishing vs traditional publishing of my novel.

A lot of us, however well intended, try to change people in all the wrong ways. Which begs the question, can you really change someone else's mind and perspective? That's what I explore in this episode. I use Adam Grant's notions as a jumping off point (https://jayshetty.me/podcast/how-to-rethink-your-assumptions-become-more-effective-at-communicating-with-others/) to discuss this topic.

I think too often we look down at people who display humility. We think of them as weak, or lacking self esteem. "Why can't they be more confident?" In this short, simple episode, I want to get across to you that this is false. Plain and simple.

In the past, I've highlight how your negative thoughts can be an asset to you (https://philsvitek.com/negative-visualization/) and I've discussed how jealousy can act as a roadmap for your life (https://philsvitek.com/what-got-you-to-egypt-wont-get-you-to-the-promised-land/). But I've never talked about the benefits of imposter syndrome. Luckily, on a recent episode of his podcast, Jay Shetty showcases how imposter syndrome can be used to your advantage (https://jayshetty.me/podcast/how-to-rethink-your-assumptions-become-more-effective-at-communicating-with-others/). In this episode, I share what I learned from him introducing me to the idea and how you too can apply it.

I don't care what creative medium you pursue, you always need a team. Yes, even a self-published author needs a team, however small it may be. And you have to rely on that team, getting input from them throughout various stages of the creative process. But there's other times when only you can and should make the final decision. Today I go in depth about this fine line and how to approach it better.

Adam Grant recently appeared on an episode of Jay Shetty's On Purpose (https://jayshetty.me/podcast/how-to-rethink-your-assumptions-become-more-effective-at-communicating-with-others/). One of the many things they talked about was how people need to me more concise with pitches and deal points because less is more. It's echoes past advice and experiences for me. And so in this episode I deep dive this idea—why it works and how to do it.

Joyce Carol Oates noted that there's people who want to be married but don't want to get married. What did she mean by this and how does this apply to content creators?

In this episode, I pose a question to us all, which is how do we create meaningful and lasting change in our society. I open up with some self reflection about how I reacted to Texas and specifically Senator Ted Cruz's response to the events happening there (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/ted-cruz-fire-photo-ops-houston-controversial-mexico/story?id=76048828). This was a jumping off point for me because so much focus was spent on Ted versus helping people, or at least as I observed it. After recounting my experience and processing these thoughts, I open things up to the macro. I highlight the things I'm grappling with regarding social justice and such. Now, by now means do I claim to have the answers, which is exactly the point. I wanted to reflect and invite you to do the same.

One of the biggest pieces of advice any writer gets is to "show don't tell." And even though it's something writers hear over an over again, we still end up doing it in our drafts. That's why my editor, Emily Krempholtz (@writersofrohan) told me to do a "show don't tell" revision. This is what I explore in this episode so you can make your novel or screenplay that much stronger.

Meagan Lynn (@MeaganLynnTV) is someone I've known for a few years now. I first was introduced to her when she applied to be an intern for AfterBuzz TV. Since her time there, she's grown in so many ways and recently launched a digital series of her own called Ten Minute Talks (https://www.tenminutetalksnow.com/). The show consists of her interviewing world-leading thinkers, influencers and experts to build a toolkit for millennials to win in all areas of life: career, mental health & wellness, spirituality, finances and more! Beyond that, she loves to create meaningful content and help others. She freelances as a social media manager, but above all, she views herself as a storyteller. And she believes everyone has a story to tell. She joined me for this interview where we had a wide ranging conversation discussing things like her journalism background and how she views the current state of the business, her outlook on social media and life in general, how she came to know her purpose in life, where she finds inspiration and so much more. She's someone who has big ambitious but is able to be patient in achieving them, which I personally find rare. Her positive spirit has helped guide her and that's why I wanted to chat with her so she could share some of the things that have helped her in her journey. I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for checking out my vlog, where I highlight my creative journey to offer inspiration and specific take-aways. In this episode, I discuss the state of the book industry for new authors before switching subjects and deep diving progress on my film. I talk about the VFX process, how there's times when people offer conflicting advice and so you need to make the ultimate decision and how budgets are arbitrary in the end.

There's two ways of looking at friendships: equal and equalitarian. On the surface, they might both seem similar and good. But they are not. In this episode I showcase the difference between the two and how this fundamental notion impacts your relationships.

There's a big self improvement movement, and certainly I'm a part of it in some small way. But that also introduces the notion that there's something to improve and more so that we should. This is not always the case. For example, many books will claim to "fix your life?" Maybe up until reading that phrase you didn't think your life needed fixing. Instead, it introduced a problem that didn't exist. Also important is to ask who you're taking advice from. Nowadays, I see so many so-called experts who have no actual background in what they're teaching. But really, in the end, it comes down to does whatever advice someone gives you help your life or not? These are thing ideas I explore in this episode, so please join me, won't you?

A lot of people I talk to say they want to quit their job and pursue they current side hustle full time instead. Many point to being inspired by various podcasts or interviews they heard with someone successful sharing their story and "going for it." The problem is we over romanticize those instances and what doesn't get talked about enough is the safety net and calculated low-risk, high-reward aspect. I'm not saying don't have confidence in yourself and that you shouldn't aspire to reach the heights you want by living in fear. But you also must be patient and accept that you might be exactly where you're meant to be currently. But if you do feel ready to take the next steps, here's questions to ask yourself: 1) Does your side income come close to what you earn? 2) Do you have 6 months of emergency funding? 3) Can u make your side hustle your regular job? 4) Are you disciplined enough to be your own boss? 5) Are you ready to work 12+ hours a day? These are the questions I explore in this episode to help guide you to see if you're truly ready to quit your job and go for it.

At this point, I pretty much accept it as a fact of life that every creative project that I work on needs multiple contingency plans. Through no one's fault, things end up taking more time and more money. So knowing this and being able to deal with situations as they arise is a necessity. That's what I explore in this episode.

Nowadays more than ever, we have to be careful about what we send to others. This is so that it doesn't end up online somehow. Even beyond the realm of sensitive photos, there's many mistakes that can happen. So my recommendation is to never send anyone any assets you wouldn't want them to post. In this episode I share some horror stories I've heard/seen and give you tips for how to approach this so it doesn't happen to you. After listening, if you have any questions or thoughts of your own, please share, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Welcome to my vlog! In this episode I discuss the ups and downs of my latest project. There's three parts to it: the proof of concept, the pitch deck and the script. I break down each, including the obstacles that have arisen plus how I'm handling them. One main theme of today is 1) there's always a way to fix something and 2) sometimes it costs more money. That might not sound great, but I'll show you how to approach those situations in a healthy manner. Also, please go check out my friends' latest web series called Tabitha TV (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBBN8jyFoJzs9Hpre-wBALw). Also, if you love movies, join my and my friend Anthony Becerra Thursday nights at 8pm PT on Clubhouse to chat about the latest releases.

In honor of Valentine's Day, I wanted to do an episode discussing love, art and all things relationships. But what if you're seeing this and it's not Valentine's Day? No worries, because as the movie Casablanca teaches us, "the fundamental things apply as time goes by." I explore the connection between love and art as well as the challenges that come with it. Also, I use examples from Almost Famous, Casablanca and reference Julia Cameron (author of the Artist's Way) who appears on a recent episode of the Yoga Girl Podcast (https://www.yogagirl.com/podcast/conversations-from-the-heart/the-art-of-listening-with-julia-cameron) and shared something that resonated with me. As I share, I try to give as many perspectives as I can, but of course these are just my vantage points and beliefs. If you differ from me, then by all means share whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

There are two major issues I've noticed when it comes to statistics and how we use them. Firstly, we don't know what we're truly supposed to be measuring. Meaning most of the time we analyze things that don't mean much but then we act as if they do. And secondly, our figures dehumanize us. This is what I explore in this episode, so please join me, won't you?

Maria Shriver (@MariaShriver) posted a wonderful story with an incredible message on her Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzGCG8Hb5x/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link). It's a story about an old car, which on the surface might not seem interesting at all. But in truth, the story is less about the car and more about knowing your value. How?

Whether you're a host, a podcaster or a filmmaker, you'll find yourself in a situation while recording where you're guessing with pronunciation of a word or name is correct. What do you do? Record multiple ways of saying it that way you have it in the proverbial editing room. Sure, it takes a little time away but often times it's much easier and faster than arguing about it on set.

Here's a pro tip: when texting someone an address, send it as a standalone text. Why? Because they can either just click it and a navigation app will launch OR it's much easier to copy and paste. That doesn't sound like much of a big deal, but people who are always on the go will appreciate it. In life, we want the least amount of friction to whatever activity we do. And this is one of those simply yet effective things.

Most of the jobs that exist today either won't be around in 20 years or will be fundamentally different. That's why it's important to remain adaptable. How does one do that? By continuing to develop multiple skills. And I'll tell you a secret: it makes life more fun that way. You don't live in fear. When you try to protect what you already know and have, it's defensive and ultimately a losing battle. Embrace learning. This is what I explore in this episode.

Rarely, if at all, is life all good or all bad. It's a combination of the two. As humans, or at least I want to view the world more simply. As good and bad, black and white, etc. But we must embrace the duality of life. It is in these nuanced details of the grey areas that you discover the beauty of life. As artists, if you want to express universal truths in our work, we need to tap into this. This is what I explore in this episode.

In Mastery by George Leonard, there's a question that's posed of "how can I be a learner?" Which is really a way of asking how do I get better and grow. The answer to this question might seem counter-intuitive because the answer is, be a fool. Act a fool. How would that help? Well, find out. And for an even deeper analysis read George's book or check out Tim Ferriss' blog post (https://tim.blog/2021/01/25/mastery/).

In this edition of my vlog, I primarily discuss editing the proof of concept I recently shot and how I'm preparing it to go into the VFX phase. Since it's a purely green screen shoot, I highlight some of the difficulties of cutting it together and strategies I used to make sure my timing was correct. I then overview where I'm at with the VFX and provide a timeline moving forward. And while this is the bulk of the episode, I also discuss a movie that had a significant impact on me called In And Of Itself on Hulu, plus how this movie speaks to a larger life insight.

Gaining knowledge is a worthwhile pursuit. But if all we ever do is consume the surface level information about ever subject, it wouldn't make us as fully rounded as we'd like to become. Especially as artist's, we have to study our craft on a deeper, more intimate level. This is what I explore in this episode.

I find that the voices in my head are too critical when I'm trying to be creative. I need them to not judge my work just yet so I can at least get a draft out. So it begs the question, how does one quiet those voices? This episode is less of a teaching one, more of an exploration into that question because it's still one that I struggle with and would love your input on.

ADR is a technique used to give your film clean audio if the sound recorded on the day wasn't good enough (planes overhead, rain, static interference and other such noises). The problem is ADR gets recorded months after production in a studio. The performer has to get back into character and even then, the soundscape of their voice isn't always 100% matching to how it was on set. So how do you get better matching ADR in terms of performance and reverb? Record ADR on set! How you might be thinking. Well, the actors are in a natural rhythm anyway, so take them aside and have them run the performance just for audio purposes. It won't necessarily match the timing of their past stuff but it'll be close enough where most times you and nudge it and it'll match their tone and certainly the space better than studio ADR could. Besides, what have you got to lose? If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. This is what I explore in this episode.

Years ago at a Robert McKee seminar, an audience member shared a wonderful trick to ease a dry throat. And it's simple. Yes, it involved sipping liquid, but what most of us don't know, is how to really get the liquid to hit the spot that's actually scratchy. This is what I share with you today in this quick lesson. It'll work wonders for any actor, performer, speaker or just in your everyday life.

Too often from my experience, artists don't release their work, or worse don't pursue a creative project because they feel it "lacks quality". Based on what? Quality is subjective. And you don't get better by not letting the public see what you've made. I'm not giving you a license to make garbage, but if in your heart of hearts you create something you enjoy and can stand behind, then release it and move onto the next thing. That's how the successful artists you look up to became successful. Talent must be showcased, not bottled up! This is what I explore in this episode.

Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way, introduced the creative world to Morning Pages. As the name implies, they are pages of writing you do in the morning. And this technique doesn't apply to just writers. It applies to musicians, painters, sculptures, etc. Morning Pages are three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning. There is no wrong way to do Morning Pages — they are not high art. They are not even “writing.” They are about anything and everything that crosses your mind– and they are for your eyes only. Morning Pages provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritize and synchronize the day at hand. Do not over-think Morning Pages: just put three pages of anything on the page...and then do three more pages tomorrow. Now, where some differ is whether to keep your morning pages or toss them. Again, there's no wrong way. It's what's best for you. This is what I explore in this episode.

This weekend I filmed the proof of concept for what will hopefully be my 2nd feature called In Search of Sunrise. I recap the events of the weekend and how it made me realize I was tapping into the full vitality of life by undertaking this project. That sounds awesome, but part of doing so is exposing yourself to become your most vulnerable, which I certainly was. But I'm a firm believer that all the incredible parts of life are only accessed with leaps of faith. The good news is, like me, you can stand on the shoulders of people who have come before to make those leaps less scary. These are the insights I explore through the retelling of the weekend's events.

Anything in life that can be considered evil is really an otherwise good value taken to an extreme. One such ideal that I worry is headed this way is "self care" or "self help". The reason I think about this is because I've seen signs where people use self care as a license to stop caring about others. The true goal of self care is to make us better so we can help others. If 2020 has taught me nothing else, it's that we're all interconnected and more importantly interdependent on each other. Why go against that? This is what I explore in this episode.

Derren Brown, author of books such as Happy and Happier, has a notion that says you should consider nouns as verbs (https://simonsinek.com/discover/episode-23-happying-with-derren-brown/). Why does this matter? Because nouns are stagnant. Think relationship, friendship and happiness. As nouns, they are ideals to strive for. But you don't magically just attain these like a fountain pen and call it a day. You must consider these as verbs so that way you can maintain your relationship, your friendships and your happiness. This is what I explore in this episode.

One grave mistake I see is people aspiring to be hosts, actors or the like make it hard to contact themselves. Why? You should have a website with an easy to connect with page. Additionally, you should have a press kit. Two great resources/examples are Gary Vee (https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/press-kit/) and Sophia Amoruso (https://www.sophiaamoruso.com/get-started/). If you emulate them, you will increase your success. I've seen it. These are the things I explore in this episode.

Mark Rodriguez (@MarkRodriguezTV) joins me for a wide ranging interview about creative strategies as well as mindset. The topics range from his hosting days at AfterBuzz TV, to "accidentally" starting his marketing company Master Mynd Media (http://mastermyndmedia.com), how Gary Vee's lessons helped Mark, getting projects off the ground and how the Clubhouse app is an incredible new tool/platform. We also deep dive his latest project Rudolf (https://youtu.be/kKaUmuxxRUU), from how it came to be, filming Covid and next steps. There's so many take-aways!

There's a major difference between positivity and optimism that most don't realize. I didn't until Simen Sinek pointed it out (https://simonsinek.com/discover/episode-25-a-tension-deficit-with-james-harding/ towards the end of the episode). So in this episode I take the time to unpack what the difference is and why it matters beyond semantics.

Because you asked, in this episode I shed light on thought process whenever I schedule my film shoots. I discuss it from the macro down to the micro of how long a shot should take. My method is not for everyone and combines my experience as an editor along with my preference of filming fast to create a sense of urgency. Feel free to utilize what you think will work for you and scrap the rest. That's how I came up with my methodology—I mixed and matched other's techniques.

I open this vlog by sharing some thoughts about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the state of the world today. Throughout, I mention my friend Eboni K. Williams' podcast series called Holding Court which you can check out here: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-holding-court-with-eboni-72590940/. After talking about the serious subject of social justice, I transition to talk about my creative journey along with friends' of mine. In particular, I talk about the launch of @KhalielAbooboo's Trap Yoga Music channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChE7GqMGaO2XU9OhZTe30cg) and the lessons you can take away from his journey. Then I share my thoughts heading into filming a proof of concept film and compare the experience to Ursula K. Le Guin's short story called The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas (https://sites.asiasociety.org/asia21summit/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/3.-Le-Guin-Ursula-The-Ones-Who-Walk-Away-From-Omelas.pdf). It's a comparison that I'm sure artists can relate to once viewed from this perspective.

Today is the day we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the important work he stood for. It's a very important and symbolic holiday. I say symbolic because the work of MLK is not complete. Which is why I invite you to go beyond posting a quote of his. Study his life and his teachings. You can watch a movie like Selma or read Why We Can't Wait. Or (re)watch any of his speeches, including "I Have a Dream". Really experience what his life and ideals were all about. Then consider how you too can continue his legacy in your daily actions.

I'm not sure about you, but it seems many people refuse to admit when they're wrong, much less apologize. Why? Who does it help? Not them, not anyone. So how do we normalize people saying they're wrong and saying they're sorry? It starts with ourselves. We must take individual responsibility. It's scary because it goes against the grain currently. But it's the only path forward. We cannot expect others to do something if we don't do it ourselves. That's my message in this episode.

The language learning app likes to remind me it's about progress, not perfection whenever I get a series of prompts wrong. These three simple words are powerful when you consider them and more importantly apply them. It is about progress. There is no such thing as perfection, especially in art. The thought of perfection often stifles people with fear, thus inaction. Just keep progressing. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish over time. That's what I discuss in this lesson.

I'm beginning to recognize a pattern around me where people refer to adults in their 20s as kids or still young and innocent. Likewise, many adults in their 20s have bought into this narrative, whether knowingly or not. In the eyes of the law ignorance is no excuse and likewise, in the eyes of the law anyone over 18 is an adult. There is no difference legally between someone who is 19, 36, 57, or 84. So I'm advocating for personally responsibility and accountability for us to recognize anyone 18 or over, especially ourselves, as adults. That's what I discuss in this episode.

There's an adage most writers have heard that says those who can't read can't write (or some variation therein). This applies to screenwriters too. If you want to write scripts, you have to read them. But garbage in, garbage out. You need to read scripts of produced movies that are universally viewed as great works of art to truly learn. How? Go to http://simplyscripts.com and browse through their catalogue. You'll be amazed at what you find. I always am. In this episode I give you specific pointers for all of this.

One of my friends was doing everything from her bed: work, sleep, eating, watching TV, laying out outfits, etc. Then she started slipping into depression. Why? The answer is simple. There was no separation, no boundaries anywhere. Her body and mind were confused. "When do I sleep? When do I work?" Etc. Jay Shetty points out that we must have intention with time and space. Don't make the lines blurry. Have a defined place to work, to eat, to sleep and so on. Otherwise your mental health will suffer like my friend's. It is this notion that I explore here.

Cinematographer Roger Deakins (1917, Blade Runner 2049, Shawshank Redemption, Sicario, No Country For Old Men) is regarded as one of best directors of photography around. Why? People say it's his visual aesthetic. And they're not wrong, but why they think that goes deeper. Roger shared his thoughts on this on an episode of Team Deakins where he said, "Actors are the key of what you're going for otherwise you just have a series of pictures." Therein lies the key. It is this notion that I unpack and how I apply it to my own work. More importantly, how you can too.

There was a lot going on last week and in an effort to focus on something else, in this vlog I highlight rounding out casting for my upcoming proof of concept. I discuss lessons from the process and then I talk about editing a friend's project. Even though I didn't give my thoughts on the events of last week, I aim to do so in the future. For now, please listen to Arnold Schwarzenegger's message: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CJ24kssg9Xf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link. He has a very profound message, much more powerful than one I can currently give.

I've been observing people's thoughts on Warner Bros. in response to putting their 2021 movies directly on HBO Max upon release. I'm not here to argue whether that was a good decision or not. What I am here to say is this isn't the first instance I've seen of a company or leaders make tough decisions and not involve key people affected by the decision. It doesn't even have to be as part of the process, but at least giving them a heads up about what has been decided and why. The mistake these companies and leaders make is thinking business is business and it's perfectly legal for them to do X, Y and Z. But does that make it right? It seems the answer is no. Again, not everyone will be happy, but there's a better way to handle when having to make tough decisions. And that's ultimately what I'm advocating and this episode explores.

Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist, has a notion that in today's culture we signal our intelligence by tearing down other's ideas but that in reality it doesn't take much intelligence to do this at all. You're actually way more intelligent if you help build up an idea. It is this notion that I explore in the episode and why it's significant especially as artists who aim to have abundant creativity. (To hear Adam Grant talk about this notion directly and more, listen to him on the Bit of Optimism podcast: https://simonsinek.com/discover/episode-17-a-bit-of-everything-with-adam-grant/.)

If networking is as important as people make it out to be, it begs the question of how do you do it in a way that actually works and makes you stand out. Thanks to Marie Forleo's teachings, I have the answer and it's very simple. Upon introducing yourself, state 3 things: I work as X, I'm interested in Y and learning about Z. That gives you and the other person more things to talk about (thus creating a stronger connection). In this lesson, I detail this in depth.

Flobo Boyce (@flobito on IG & @floboboyce on Twitter) and James Lott Jr. (@JameLottJr) join me for three way mind-meld as I jokingly put it. Both have appeared on my shows in the past but never together. Together we have a wide ranging conversation around various strategies and ideologies as content creators. There's so many take-aways, from citing our "best tools" to our "best failures". Plus we have some fun along the way with a laugh off. (Let us know who you think won).

Gucci's CEO Marco Bizzarri has a belief that what his company does doesn't save lives, but it can improve lives (https://simonsinek.com/discover/episode-20-joy-with-marco-bizzarri/). Why is this important? Because it recalibrates their approach. It allows them to have fun doing what they do and take risks to accomplish big goals. I think this is important, whether you're part of a company or collaborating with your friends. Too many people, I notice, overemphasize what they do and it creates toxicity. It also creates fear. Fear hinders creativity. And so in this episode I explore the deep meaning of Marco's philosophy and how it can benefit you.

Networking to me has a dirty/negative connotation. Maybe because people misuse it in my world and have it mean getting something without doing the work. Instead, I prefer the world collaborator. And this episode is aimed to challenge you to find collaborators, either to work with or with you. They are out there. They exist. You just have to get creative at looking.

If you're a screenwriter that's starting off, it may be expensive to purchase script software. Good news is there's a solution. Celtx (http://celtx.com) allows you to have three scripts for free! That's great. But what if you're prolific and able to turn out screenplay after screenplay? Well, I've got some tips for you in this episode.

When it comes down to it, complaining solves nothing. Worse, it prevents you from coming up with fixes to those complaints. Repeated enough times and eventually you feel helpless and lose any sense of agency to control things or have an impact. This is terrible because of course you have agency. Doesn't mean the action you try will work, but it certainly stands a better shot than not doing anything. This is what I explore in this episode. My intent is get you to realize you have the power for goodness if you allow yourself to have it. As creatives, when we try, we can come up with imaginative solutions others didn't see. So let's start using our gifts, rather than complain which helps no one.

In this episode, I dissect my first pre-production meeting on In Search of Sunrise. I talk about next steps, where I'm at, etc, while providing you with specific take-aways. I use the analogy that for me, the train is already moving and there's no stopping it.

Treating employees like sh#t is not innovation. A simple and obvious statement but we don't talk about it enough. In order to change toxic work culture, we need to state the obvious truths. In this episode, I explore this topic and what role we play within it and how to go about changing it. By no means do I claim to know all the answers, but I wanted to spark a conversation. If you're interested in learning more solutions, I highly encourage you to check out the works of Adam Grant and Simon Sinek.

Everyone's unique and we should all strive to be our true selves. However, in society, sometimes people take advantage of otherwise good ideals. Free speech being one of them. Free speech is not meant to give you license to say what you want that's disrespectful, ignorant, etc. And I find authenticity has fallen into this type of category where it's something we should all strive for but too many people abuse it and use it as a way to be disrespectful to others by hiding behind "it's my authentic truth" or whatever. Being uniquely you is not meant to harm/disrespect others. And we need to be wary of that. This is what I explore in this episode and so I hope you join me on this important topic.

If you're someone like me, you're constantly wanting to learn new things. But there is value in revisiting past works we've consumed, whether movies, books or even your personal journal entries. This is because as we change, so does our perspective and we can always get something new even if we've seen/read something plenty of times before. It's a good way to gauge the changes within ourselves and our thinking. So that's my challenge to you: to revisit past stuff.

WordPress is one of the most popular CMS for websites. And I highly recommend it. Yet, as simple as it is, sometimes there's just customization you need done. Or you don't have the time to build/alter your website so you need to hire a developer. In this episode, I share three resources to hiring WordPress coders: http://codeable.io, http://upwork.com and http://fiverr.com. I give you pros and cons of each so you can make the best decision.

People often struggle for motivation. "I don't feel like running today" or whatever else it may be. This is because we're allowing our choices to be micro. Essentialists and Seth Godin are all about focusing on the macro. So rather than fight with yourself everyday to see if you'll run or not, make the macro decision to be a runner. That's it. This thinking applies to anything. Stop getting sucked into a mental battle. When you do, your mind is free to focus on solutions to the real problems you need to overcome.

Nowadays in editing we almost all the time end up mixing different file formats. Even if you're just editing iPhone footage from multiple phone's, each phone's footage is most likely different in some way (frame rate, resolution, codec, etc). While editing software prides itself on being able to take any footage and cut it into a timeline no problem, I sadly find there are always problems. Most times footage seems off sync. Some footage is choppy. And other problems. To avoid these headaches, ALWAYS CONFORM YOUR FOOTAGE BEFORE EDITING. Run it through the editing software or Media Encoder (whatever you have) and make sure to unify it with the same settings. It may be time consuming at first (especially if you have a lot of footage) but it'll allow you to be speedy during your edit PLUS everything will actually work.

Last week was Thanksgiving week, so yes, I talk about that. But beforehand, I discuss Emerson's TV and feature film pitch fest. I share the lessons learned from the experience and also how it's good to see people you know succeeding. We need more recognition and praise of that kind. To that end, I highlight how Jordan VanDina, who I went to school with, is creating content and honing his craft while making a name for himself via Weekend Scripts (http://weekendscripts.com/). As far as my stuff goes, I go into the need to sometimes unplug and just do what's needed vs what's on the wish list. So, last week I only focused on unwinding and working on In Search of Sunrise, the next feature film I want to make. Tied in with that, I had to get creative based on a problem that came up. See, the undertaking of this movie is a risky business. But it's only risky at the start. Once you break things down into bite sized problems and look for solutions, it becomes less risky.

Overnight, a documentary about the director of The Boondock Saints, is a wonderful cautionary tale about humility and checking your ego as an artist. It's a common thing within the creative space to have artists push everyone around them. The notion being that in order to create great art, everyone should care about the artist's baby as much as the artist. First off, this is simply never going to happen. Second, the ends don't need to justify the means. There is a more sustainable path to great art and more importantly longevity and it's through humility and patience. These are the ideas I explore so you don't become another entertainment industry cautionary tale.

IDK why but there's always a debate that I hear around quality vs quantity, as if somehow they are separate. The truth is, quantity CREATES quality. Now, am I advocating to just aimlessly put out garbage work into the world? No! It's more nuanced than that. But the basis towards quality work is quantity. You have to make. And you'll make bad things. That's part of the process. Bob Dylan didn't always have a hit. Not every Picasso painting is incredible. Spielberg doesn't always make a home run of a movie. But each does have pieces of work that will stand the test of time. It's because they make, make, make. This is the notion I explore here.

Many great thinkers, Robin Sharma to name one, have said the secret to genius is isolation. This is why Ian Fleming would go off to a retreat to write the James Bond novels. He's not the only one to do something similar. As such, I challenge you to work on your art in silence and isolation. I find today it's too easy to be distracted. There's too many screens screaming for our attention. We play the TV in the background. We have our phones. But having these in our presence prohibits us from reaching the so-called flow state. And yes, it is a read state of self. In order to produce great work, you need to tap into this state. How? Silence and isolation. This is what I explore within this episode at length.

Robin Sharma, best known for his The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari book, has observed that it is very difficult to change habits when things are going well for you. It's as if to say, why fix it if it ain't problem. Conversely, the opposite is true. When you're in tough times, it makes it easier to make necessary changes in your life. See obstacles as opportunities to evolve and grow. These are the ideas I deep dive with this episode.

Words have power and can create limiting beliefs. One of my limiting beliefs (especially seeing so many books on Yoga, mediation and self help in general) was that happiness requires work. What BS! No it doesn't. When we're kids, we don't work to attain our happiness. We just are. And so it can be with us as adults. We make the choice to be happy. This is the notion I explore today and how to go about it.

This episode focus on podcast ads—not how to get ads for your podcast (that's a whole separate matter) but rather how to integrate them into your podcast. For years, host read live read ads were "baked in" the episode itself. Now with the advent of dynamic ad insertion, ads can be swapped out on the fly according to time, location, etc. This is great except when podcasters do it in such a way that is sounds intrusive or off-putting. Here, I overview my strategy to make dynamic ads more fluid within your podcast(s).

There's a quote from Gomez in the movie TheAddams Family that goes something like, "Old business is old business and new business is new business and we do not discuss new business until next quarter." I thought about this quote recently and it made be refocus my efforts. I've been trying to move onto the next when I should be focused on my current projects. Those will keep me plenty busy. In this edition of my vlog, I highlight what those projects are and the steps I'm taking currently. I especially go into detail on the development/pre-production of my 2nd feature film In Search of Sunrise. Plus I give an update on what happened at the American Film Market.

Simon Sinek says we over index on rugged individualism. After all, as he points out, there's entire sections in book stores dedicated to self help but never help others. Why is this? What affect does this mentality have on us and others? These are the questions I explore with this episode, even citing findings from Darwin to make some sense of this.

What I love about the day and age we live in is that there's so many free ways to learn the craft we love. And one of the greatest resources as I and many others like to call it is YouTube University. No, it's not an actual program. It's literally just YouTube. But with this challenge, I want you to search for subjects you're interested in learning more about and find YouTube channels that teach it. Subscribe to them and check out their videos. Learn something. There's so many wonderful teachers in all kinds of subjects. I list off a few of the ones I'm subscribed to (for reference you can also see them on my channel page).

This year has been trying for all of us. And as we head into the holidays it could be even tougher. We want to see our friends and family but it's not the safest to do so. Because of this reality, I thought about ways to have a safe Thanksgiving yet make it still feel communal. What I came up with as a solution, after reading through CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/holidays.html) and other guidelines, is to figure out who is in your town during Thanksgiving and coordinate with them. Have each person make one dish, but make it in bulk. Then each person puts portion of their dish into containers, everyone meets up somewhere safe (like a park) and they (safely) exchange the food. So it's like a potluck except you don't eat together. Plus, everyone should plan on making more food than is necessary so a good chunk can be donated. By doing this, when you're eating your Thanksgiving meal (whether solo like me or with a few family members), you'll still feel connected with more people because you'll be eating food prepped by them. And you'll have helped those in need thanks to the donation portions. What do you think? Let me know in the comments or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Also, tag someone who you'd love to do this with. (If you're one of my friends that's staying in LA and you're interested, please hit me up so we can touch base). Happy and safe holidays!

Best-selling author and poet Mary Karr was a guest on Tim Ferriss' show (https://tim.blog/2020/11/11/mary-karr/) and she had such a brilliant piece of advice. Paraphrasing, she recounting making the choice to listen to the advice of happy people is she herself wanted to be happy. It's so simple and obvious yet so many of us push against that sound advice. Why? This is what I explore so you don't sabotage yourself and your happiness.

On a recent episode of the @goop podcast, James Nestor, a journalist and author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, explained the true power of our breath and its impact on our health (https://goop.com/the-goop-podcast/how-to-maximize-the-power-of-your-breath/). In listening to it, I realized I was breathing incorrectly at night and have since applied a simple trick he talks about. Now I sleep healthier — longer and deeper. Not only will this technique help you to during sleep, but it'll condition you to breathe correctly throughout your day (or at least I'm noticing so far).

Seth Godin often talks about how we trade for outcomes. I believe this to be true and I also have seen how career decisions can force you into certain lifestyles and vice versa. Is there anything wrong with this? Not necessarily, as long as you're aware. But most times, we operate on our natural default level and that's the insidious part. With this episode, I want you to become cognizant of your choices and their outcomes so you can have more intent in building the life you want. So listen and afterwards, please feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Last week, most of America was glued to their TVs awaiting the election results. Now a president-elect has been declared. What's next? In this episode, I reflect upon things from hopefully a different perspective than most. My aim is to ask questions, offer some ideas, but by no means do I claim to know it all. I think we all need to ponder these things as well as others in order to move forward properly. And moving forward requires action because having academic discussions about these things helps no one. In this wide ranging episode, I jump around from topic to topic, covering things like: should the state split up?, why telling people that ultimately whoever wins the election is a form of gaslighting, how for many of us discussions like this are academic when for others it can be life or death, how the term "in spirit of which this was intended" no longer holds value and we must define everything, why I think it's problematic to say PA or any other state won the election for Joe Biden, how we should strive to be for something rather than against things, the idea of the national popular vote agreement (different that the popular vote slightly), the historic role of the senate and why that's debilitating in today's day and age, a John Steinbeck quote, how activism needs to be a daily activity, how we should all hold elected officials accountable regardless of party lines and how Trump's 2017 tax cuts will affect you in 2021. Quite a lot, right? Listen and afterwards, please feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Actor Matthew McConaughey recently came out with a book called Greenlights (https://www.amazon.com/Greenlights-Matthew-McConaughey/dp/0593139135). Among many of the gems held within, he talks about being less impressed and getting more involved. Too often we look to others to solve problems as if they're somehow greater, bigger, or whatever than us. This is false. It's not to say don't have respect. But do something. This is the challenge I pose to you with this episode.

Now that we've entered this digital world of Zoom, including the podcast space, I wanted to let you know that you can actually simply and easily record separate audio tracks. For any podcaster, this is especially beneficial because it allows you to clean up the audio rather than having everything baked in together. You can adjust individual volumes, take out any random noise (so long as it's not from the person speaking) and so on. Here's the link to follow along: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362473-Local-recording#h_96380e17-816d-4eda-a4b9-740d1498eac6.

Most of us, especially in high school, have been asked what we want to be when we grow up. An exercise that's quite common is to ask yourself what would you do if you knew you couldn't fail. It's aimed to take away the pressure. But the problem is that it edges us towards something glamorous that feeds our ego because of course, we can't fail. This is problematic as Seth Godin points out. We need to alter this question and instead ask what would you do if you knew you'd fail. This simple shift completely changes the gravity of the question and really defines your purpose once you know the answer. This is the notion I explore with this episode. So listen and afterwards, please feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

In the business world, I've seen a lot of people stack meetings back to back to back. Heck, I've done it too. The thinking is that it's the most efficient method. Efficient isn't always the most effective (https://philsvitek.com/stop-being-ineffective-in-your-life-and-get-things-done/). Because of this, I present to you two simple things you can do to have meetings be more effective: schedule time to prep mentally before starting the meeting and schedule time afterwards to decompress. It's that simple. This shift, while small, can significantly increase your productivity. I use this method and it works. Others use it too. Try it out for yourself and afterwards, please feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Last week had most Americans glued to the TV as we awaited election results. Yet in spite of that anxiousness, I was able to be creative by setting aside a few hours to work on my script. I talk about that experience and what I learned. I discuss how I read books as well to keep my mind off screens. Plus I go over the results of Film Riot's MakeFilm competition. Then I tie everything together with Seth Godin's The Practice: Shipping Creative Work book which talks about the need to just do the work, rather than focus on the results.

Art matters. More specifically, your art matters. That's what I'd like to get across to you with this episode. I examine a thought from Jay Shetty which summarized argues that as humans the more we're exposed to the more possibilities we're aware of.

There's a very negative side to social media for sure. And it needs to be addressed. However, you also have autonomy and you have to start using it. At the end of the day, social media is what YOU make it. You want to see more things that educate and enhance your life? Follow/like/share those posts more. Stop engaging with things you don't want to engage with. It can really be that simple. I've experienced it firsthand where I lacked intent with my social media. Then I defined how I'd like social media to be for me and I engineered it that way. So I implore you to do the same.

I challenge you to find a "mentor" that suits you. In this I mean it's someone who exemplifies your ideals. In order to do that, you must first define YOUR basis for success. Once you do that, then you can seek someone who showcases that on a day to day level. And the good news is with so many books, podcasts, documentaries, social media, etc it's easier than ever to "get a mentor". Some of mine include Marie Forleo, Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Ryan Holiday, Jemele Hill and Yoga Girl. If you'd like to consider me a mentor, fantastic. If not, no worries. I've come to learn that the messenger is just as important as the message and if I'm not the one for you then find someone who is. I sincerely mean that.

I see and meet a lot of people who say they want to exemplify some virtue but the fact is that when presented with an opportunity they don't take it. That's because they don't recognize the fact that any virtue can only be displayed through action, not by talking or wishing it. Take courage. If you want to be courageous, you have to in essence overcome dangerous things. And if that's truly your desire, life will give you those opportunities. It's up to you to see them and take them. I talk about this and then extend it to what it means for us as artists.

My vlog is a chance for me to share my creative journey with the aim of inspiring you as well as provide you with take-aways. On this edition, I talk about my anticipation leading up to the virtual table read for my feature script In Search of Sunrise. Here I lay out how to stay productive even when you're fidgety like me. And of course I talk about the table read itself: how it went and the things I learned/notes that have to be addressed. I highlight my process in moving forward with those notes. Then I talk about a Film Riot competition my friends and I are in and what's going on with that.

Ethical fading is a term I learned thank to Simon Sinek's A Bit of Optimism podcast (https://a-bit-of-optimism.simplecast.com/episodes/ethical-fading-with-lenny-wong-VjoQbepa). In this episode, I share what the term is and how it impacts all our lives. I make the argument that each of us holds the power to raise the proverbial bar higher to a better set of standards. So listen and afterwards, please feel free to ask questions and more importantly think about examples in your own life of ethical fading. Whether you do so down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek makes no difference to me. To get you started, here's two examples I didn't mention in the lesson: 1) when people create fake accounts to vote for online polls 2) when people buy fake followers to inflate their numbers.

On the eve of election day, I decided to share my thoughts. Not specifically on 2020's election, but for the larger implications and moment in time we find ourselves in. One thing I think we most agree on is that the two party system is failing us. America was founded on an ideal and we need to readjust and recalibrate to strive for that ideal in the day and time we're in. I attempt to throw out ideas and solutions, however viable or not. My aim is to spark a discussion because right now for all intents and purposes America loses. We need to be Americans first and foremost, not red or blue. I hope you join me and hear me out. Then please share your thoughts down below or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Lastly, for more free resources from your 360 creative coach, check out my website at http://philsvitek.com.

I have a challenge for you: STOP TALKING ABOUT DOING SOMETHING AND DO SOMETHING. Take the first bold step you've been putting off and begin. It's simple. But do it within the next 7 days.

There's times during filming where a line of dialogue is just not working. But how will you know when that's the case? Easy, the actor is stumbling over the line. Too often we blame the actor but generally, it's actually a sign of bad writing. The dialogue line in question may not be true to the character so it feels forces. Perhaps it's some other reason. But once you realize the true cause of a bad line read isn't the actor, but the line itself, you can diagnose the problem. This is helpful for the producer, director, actor and writer. Ideally, it's a problem that would be addressed after table reads or rehearsals, but worse case you can still fix it on set. So I hope this helps enhance your film. FYI this tip is something I picked up from listening to the Team Deakins podcast (https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/) which I highly recommend to any filmmaker. Afterwards listening to my episode, please feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Too often, for better and worse, we label people. Myself included. We say this person is good and honest. Or we say this person is bad and stupid. We must stop doing this and instead separate the person from the action. And yes, someone can have done more bad things than good things but that doesn't mean they are ultimately evil. In order to heal society we must learn this distinction. This is what I talk about in this episode. An example I bring up is a film called White Right which is a 2017 documentary film by two-time Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning director Deeyah Khan. Deeyah travels to the United States to meet with some of the country's most prominent neo-Nazis and white supremacist leaders to seek to understand the personal and political reasons behind the apparent resurgence of far-right extremism in America. She made the film after being interviewed on TV about multiculturalism for which she received many threats and hate speech on social media. The fascinating part about this to me is this documentary serves as a template to heal our nation because one of the leaders she got to know closely actually changed his mind and is no longer a white supremacist. For more on this, check out Deeyah's interview with Simon Sinek: https://simonsinek.com/discover/episode-11-extreme-listening-with-deeyah-khan/. BUT, this notion also benefits us on a day to day level, which I also go over.

Oftentimes I find the reason we don't achieve what we're aiming for is that we're going for something too broad. We all need to be specific with our goals, mission statements or niches. That's the only way to focus yourself so you can see the path ahead. In this episode I share some anecdotes illustrating why this is important before giving you action items to do this. So join me and hear how you can be more specific in order to get to your ambitions better/faster. Afterwards, please feel free to ask questions or offer opinions of your own, whether down in the comment section or by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

In this edition of my vlog I open up about completing two short films within one week. Yes, there were many challenges especially since one film was VFX heavy but what was great was working with like minded people (Courtney Stewart - @StewartStarlit, Danielle Argyros - @DanielleArgyros & Morgan Lester - @unofficialmorgan). Then I talk about the distinction between maintenance tasks vs growth tasks. (For more info on this, check out these two episodes: 1) https://philsvitek.com/scientific-way-to-combat-procrastination/ & 2) https://philsvitek.com/dealing-with-everyday-tasks/). Afterwards, I talk about a table read I participated in over the weekend and what the next steps for my friend are. This leads me to provide an update on my new script In Search of Sunrise, which will have a table read this Thursday. More importantly though, I share info about an opportunity to have it be part of the American Film Market and what that means. Finally, I round things off by talking about the need for each of us to recognize and embrace "downhills", how virtual sets are game changes for production (https://www.insider.com/green-screen-virtual-sets-mandalorian-2020-4) and mentoring college Emersonians.

Welcome to my vlog, where I highlight my creative journey. In this episode I relate all the seemingly chaotic things happening all at once to a film called Wag The Dog. In it, Dustin Hoffman's character adopts a phrase "This is nothing". To me it represents the perfect attitude as a content creator. I also discuss notions from Brene Brown and how I view them in the context of an artist. So listen as I think you'll find all the things I talk about relevant to your life as well.

Gratitude is beneficial to our happiness. But how do you gain gratitude? That's what today's challenge is about. It aims to take you out of your echo chamber and away from the possible negativity you've been seeing/experiencing and focus on someone and something else. Not only is this beneficial for you but it also brightens someone else's day. And potentially others. This is what I explore in this challenge that I have for you. So please listen and afterwards share your thoughts/questions down below or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Any script written is meant as a blueprint for ultimately a visual medium. So why not enhance your table read by bringing in more visuals? In this episode I showcase how to do that and what the benefits are overall.

IDK why, but a lot of people seem to have this misconception that if they quit or stop something they can't ever return to it. Of course they can and that's the lesson I want to impart on you here. This is the notion I discuss, providing some examples. Now, don't get it twisted. I am not advocating for always following the bigger better offer and burning bridges. Not at all. You have to truly weigh out what's possible and what's not. So join me and hear my thoughts.

Alexandra Carter has a wonderful book called ASK FOR MORE (https://alexcarterasks.com/book/) which I recommend to you. Within it though is a key question to ask whenever someone tells you no during a negotiation. This can apply in deal making but especially when asking for a raise. It is this question that I explore and highlight within this episode so you too can benefit from it in your life and earn more money. If you have any questions or would like to offer thoughts of your own after, please share, whether down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

A milestone week for me last week: I finished a first draft of my script In Search of Sunrise, filming started for a conceptual short film that Courtney Stewart came up with, and exciting news on a past project (which sadly I can't share). I talk about each of these and give some take-aways to help you in your creative journey. And I discuss an idea I have for a table read where I put up reference photos of locations and characters as we read out loud to help make the reading more visual.

Ever try to schedule a meeting with someone and it ends up taking over 30 emails to figure out a time? How about when there's multiple people involved? Talk about a time waste! But don't fret. There's an easy solution which I share in this episode. And the best part, the solution easily integrates with your tools like Gmail or Outlook. It's called Doodle. That's right, Doodle (https://doodle.com/en/). Try them out and see how it goes. Or if there's a better option, please share, whether in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

I recently had a conversation with a friend who said told me he couldn't do what I do because he didn't have an audience like mine. Apart from the obvious fact that I don't really have a large audience by other's standards, I told him I don't focus on my followers and neither should he. Instead, I believe we all need to focus on our professional reputations, especially on social media. This is the notion I explore.

There's a wonderful book by Mel Robbins called The 5 Second Rule (https://melrobbins.com/five-elements-5-second-rule/). It's a rule to get you to stop thinking and instead start doing. The 5 second rule is simple. If you have an instinct to act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will kill it. The moment you feel an instinct or a desire to act on a goal or a commitment, use the rule. In this episode, I highlight the rule and give a simple example in our day to day lives. When you apply this technique in your life, it can create better habits in all areas, so try it out.

It's great to work with our friends because in theory it's a mutual exchange. However, I've found whenever you get free help you MUST set up expectations and standards so people are held accountable and they know what they're getting into. Just because something is "free" doesn't mean there can't be a set of guidelines everyone adheres because without them both parties get hurt. This is what I explore in this episode.

Jay Baer has a quote, "stop trying to be successful, start being useful". This notion, when really explored and applied, is truly powerful and can actually lead you to success.

A lot of the tools you used to need to buy as a filmmaker you no longer need to today because "there's an app for that!" I've learned to embrace a few and in this episode I share my go to ones: Aperture Meter, PhotoCine View and Shot Designer. I provide examples of how I utilize them and how you can too. But one of the big take-aways from the lesson is that there's plenty of other apps to accomplish something you may be needing to do so just look for it.

Over the years I've heard a lot of people (whether to me or to someone else) say "you need to stop being a victim". This advice can be well intended but what is the fine line between compassion for yourself and allowing yourself to be a victim? It's a question that I've thought about over the years and when answering it, I've mainly provided techniques. But a recent Goop episode with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jay Shetty, I heard an answer that give me some new insights. Of course, you're welcome and encouraged to check out the episode firsthand (https://goop.com/the-goop-podcast/gwyneth-paltrow-x-jay-shetty-what-happens-when-you-spend-time-with-yourself/) or you can listen to me share my interpretation of it here.

Ever go to make a graphic of any kind, whether a poster, logo, business card, etc, and view other images for inspiration that has a font you absolutely love? How do you get that same font since most of the time it's not a standard Helvetica one? Easy! Take a screenshot then run it through http://fontsquirrel.com. It'll give you a match. Then all you have to do is search for that font on Google. But a 2nd problem may arise—the font you want may be too expensive. Fear not, there's a solution to that too!

Most of us want to save money. It's natural. But there's the old adage of you get what you pay for. I find it to be true. You're looking to hire an expert, there's a cost involved. And maybe you're friends with someone who is knowledgable, top of their field. Well, if you don't pay them their worth, whether they know it or not, they're not necessarily going to give you the full package. Why should they? They're just doing you a favor. So if you want expert advice, you have to hire experts and pay them their worth. Conversely, you probably are an expert in certain areas. Don't deny your own worth either. This episode sheds light on all these issues/notions. Please share your thoughts down below or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

You've probably seen plenty of celebrities and friends post that you need to vote. And I agree. But it should take that effort to get you to vote. Whoopi Goldberg spoke with my friend @DerrialChriston years ago and she told him that if people are looking to celebs to tell them to vote then they don't understand the history of voting in this country (aka not everyone has been allowed to vote and it's a privilege that should not be taken for granted). Also, my friend @DanielleRobay had a great take on this. She said that as young people may not be voting because we feel politicians don't care about us. Well, without voting they never will. I thought that was a wonderful point because in the end, politicians work for voters. So register to vote (https://nationalvoterregistrationday.org/) and check what's on your ballot ahead of time (http://ballotready.org). Make your voice heard.

I have a challenge for you that's based off a technique recommended to me by a therapist. Next time someone asks you how you're doing, you provide an answer on a scale of one to ten. Don't give the typical "I'm good" response. This allows you to be honest and create a more meaningful connection with the person you're talking to BUT it does not mean you have to then divulge details. It still honors the idea of a short exchange while being authentic. So give it a try. Let me know how it goes for you in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

It can always be easy to feel overwhelmed but 2020 has made it especially easy to feel that way. Still, even though nihilism may offer temporary comfort from despair (in an odd ironic way), you hold more power than you let on. Trust me, I too have been in those moods where I think nothing matters because I can't do anything about it. But while you or I may not be able to solve all the big issues, we must start recognizing the affect we can have through small and sometimes seemingly insignificant actions. Whenever I get frustrated I try something that I think adds some positivity to the world. In this episode I share a few of mine. That's not to say you have to do those. The great part is you get to define that for yourself. Any action helps. It truly does. So please reflect on the ideas I share and then write your experience down below about what you're feeling and thinking. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

R.B.G. is dead. It's easier to read that and despair because of how iconic she was and what she stood for in life. But we CANNOT despair. She fought until the end and now the baton is ours. We must take it. Things may seem futile BUT there are options. That is the aim of this episode. To provide calmness and give you those options. Am I an expert? No. There are far smarter and better people than me. That's actually one of the things I encourage you to do: look for them and in fact share those resources in the comments down below so we can create a list. With my words, I want to inspire and galvanize you into action. Because the options we have are meaningless without action. Here's some of the links I mention: http://Flipthesenate.com, http://adoptastate.com, http://Vote.gov and https://www.eac.gov/voters/become-poll-worker. One that I didn't mention but learned about after recording is http://ballotready.org which helps you find out how/where to vote as well as learn more about everything that will be on your ballot so you can choose wisely. Let's get to action so R.B.G. can truly rest. Also, please share this with others who may feel despair. Doesn't have to be my episode. In fact I encourage you to do it in your own words.

As part of my regular job, I edit goop's podcast. A recent episode I worked on was with guest Christian Busch, who believes that luck may not always be circumstantial—and that by training ourselves to see something in the unexpected, we can make those accidents more meaningful. You can listen to the full episode here: https://goop.com/the-goop-podcast/can-we-create-our-own-good-luck/. One of the main take-aways for me though was to start a "serendipity journal". It's where you right down all the seemingly happenstance moments of your day without judgement so you can start to recognize what IS actually happening in your life. Because so many of us complain nothing ever happens BUT SOMETHING IS ALWAYS HAPPENING. We just need to remain present to see it. So that's what I challenge you to do—to start writing down all those moments IN a serendipity journal. See how it works for you. Once you start being more present, then you can kick it to the next level by setting intention as Joe Dispenza writes about in Becoming Supernatural (http://www.becomingsupernatural.com/). But I'll save the full details of that for another lesson. Start with the journaling. Try it out and please share your experience down below or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Also, here's an earlier episode I did talking about our ability to increase our luck that tackles these notions from a different perspective: https://philsvitek.com/increase-the-surface-area-with-which-luck-sticks-to-you/.

No matter our primary creative discipline, we all have a need for graphics of all kinds (thumbnails, social media posts, flyers and promos, etc).

Throughout human history, the great thinkers and philosophers have always touted the benefits of silence. Yet today I find most of us seek to constantly distract ourself with more and more sounds. Whenever we work, we have TVs blaring. Or we crank up the bass on our already loud music. Why? What makes us so incapable of sitting with our thoughts? I believe in the power of mediation, prayer and journaling but it means nothing if you don't carry the benefits and ideals of those into other practices of life. Silence is a tool I use to stay focused, grounded and in the moment of my day to day. It has tremendous positive impact on my life and it can have the same for you if you cultivate more quiet moments in your life. Check out the lesson for more details, and if you have any questions or thoughts of your own then by all means comment down below or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

In this episode of my vlog I talk about progress on a friend's project that came seemingly out of nowhere. Then I talk about the depths of creativity, a thought I had as I continue to write my next feature film. Plus I discuss a strategy I will employ once the script is written in order to make it better/tighter. After this, I go into the larger aspects of life and the biggest theme is that like Morpheus said in The Matrix, "There's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path." I provide my strategies to move forward and create action especially right now when everything seems so futile. Also, I ponder what to spend money on and where to save if possible. All this and more.

I was watching You've Got Mail starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan and within the film it posed the idea that business is always personal to someone. That got me thinking since the most common phrase in business is "it's nothing personal, it's just business" or an iteration therein. So in this episode I explore that notion. I consider if we should insert some humanity into business and what the cost/benefit would be of doing that. Join me and consider these ideas/questions yourself.

Generally whenever I talk of the news, I try to make it related to the entertainment industry but I couldn't help myself with this one. This week, a general reveal party caused a major fire in CA. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. In 2017, a gender reveal party in Arizona caused 47,000 acres worth of damage (https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/07/us/gender-reveal-parties-overview-trnd/index.html). That's nuts.

One of the best ways to get better at honing your messaging is to write it a number of ways. And that's exactly the creative challenge I have for you in this episode. Take an idea, any idea you have, and write it in a number of ways. Start with a 5k word one, trim it to 2k words, then 1k words, then 500, then 100. So how you do and more importantly notice how much fluff you had in your 5k version. This exercise will make you a far better communicator in all areas (written and spoken). So try it out.

Candice Cruz (@CandiceRCruz) is a friend I've known from my time at AfterBuzz TV. This Kentucky-native, Latina-mix has had the “hustle” mentality all of her life accumulating accolades ranging from being accepted into a law-focused summer course at Yale University her sophomore year of high school, to interning at ESPN Headquarters, to winning the title of Miss Teen United States 2010 and graduating Cum Laude from University of Kentucky with a BA in Broadcast Journalism. Candice is no stranger to dedication, hard work and perseverance...even her journey to LA was completely unconventional. After hopping on a tour bus (yes, that really happened) and completing a nation-wide tour running social media & marketing for a boy band (still, not joking!), Candice landed in her dream city of Los Angeles and made it her home. Dedicated to her art, Candice has been cultivating her talents at multiple studios including Anthony Meindl’s Actor Workshop and hosting multiple shows at AfterBuzz TV, Black Hollywood Live, Popcorn Talk, Buzz 360 and Red Carpet Report. Candice was selected as one of 30 participants (out of 500+ nationwide applicants) to be a part of the NBC Hosting Workshop. Quite a resume, right? In this episode she joins me to chat about her journey—both in terms of practical steps she's taken as well as the mentality she's embraced during all this. It's truly a wide ranging conversation with so many insights. Please watch, enjoy and share it with someone in your life.

Welcome to my vlog! This episode is a deep dive of creative projects and life in general. I open up with my #PitMad experience from last week which leads to the discussion of cultivating a group of friends that support you and that you can support in return. Part of how you get there is realizing and defining your priorities so you know what to say no to. For more on this notion check out the Marie Forleo episode I mention (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGErYRtfqTg). Then I talk about the boiling frog fable and how it relates to the California wildfires. It opens the door to think about personal responsibility. Part of what I'm trying to do is do more phone banks and also become a poll worker to do my part for the election. After that, I transition back to the creative and talk about how artists need to shut off the critical part of the brain when creating. All this and more.

This episode is a self-reflection based on something I've been thinking a lot about. And that's when should you unfollow a friend on social media and how to go about it. It's something that may benefit you in your life. At the very least, I invite you to consider it with me. My aim is to create a healthy discussion on this topic. So please, share your thoughts down below or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Lastly, for more free resources from your 360 creative coach, check out my website at http://philsvitek.com.

Last week OnlyFans made a lot of headlines since actress Bella Thorne opened up an account and reportedly made around 2 million from her subscribers (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2020-08-28/onlyfans-bella-thorne-transaction-limits-backlash). This sadly has lead to rule changes within OnlyFans that's hurt the creators who were already on the platform. And so in this episode I wanted to tackle OnlyFans and provide my thoughts. Spoiler warning, I don't go into the rule changes as much, rather I give my thoughts on the platform itself. My opinion is probably not what you think. That might be me projecting, but let's see. Check out this episode and hear my perspectives. You might agree. You might disagree. Either is fine and in fact I welcome you to let me know which it is. All I ask is you do so respectfully because I do want to have an honest, intellectual conversation about this. If you're not game for that, don't bother. You can write in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Lastly, for more free resources from your 360 creative coach, check out my website at http://philsvitek.com. Be safe!
Here's a challenge for you: START CREATING ASSETS. I know right now especially it may be tough to do creative work. But complaining about things is certainly not the solution. You can only display your talent by doing something. Doing something creates assets and that's what grows your career. Stop waiting for someone to give you permission to express your passions creatively. I don't care if you're a musician, painter, filmmaker, writer, host, etc—find a way to do what it is you love and create something tangible for people to see. I'm not advocating you must finish something ASAP. Take your time. But by sitting on the sidelines, you don't move forward. Plain and simple. As always, if you have any questions or better yet, want to share an asset you're going to work on or are working on, go ahead.

Stephen King, whether you've read his work or not, is known worldwide. And for good reason. He is a writer who loves the process of writing. In this episode I share his "rules for writer" (https://www.dorrancepublishing.com/authors-rules-writing-stephen-king/) and contextualize them in the ways I apply them to my work. By doing this, my aim is for you to see the ways you too can apply these rules within your life to write more/become a better writer. To gain more of Stephen King's perspective on the craft, check out his book On Writing. As always, if you have any questions or want to share your thoughts, go ahead.

Often I find that whenever I'm faced with a problem or feel stuck, I look for answers in expected places. Meaning if I have a business problem, I read a business book. This works some of the time but generally the real, deep problems we face require more. They require us to look in new places. It is unconventional wisdom and atypical thinking that will provide the true answers we need. This principle is what has propelled many advancements in all industries. I highlight a few examples and discuss this notion in detail on how to apply it to your life. After listening, ask any questions you have and also include three unconventional ways to approach problems in your life so we can all create a list that benefits us.

Firstly, this is NOT an ad. I personally love http://99designs.com and use it a lot and so I wanted to share it with you. It's a platform where you can have designs of all kinds made, for both print and digital. Whether it's a logo, thumbnail, poster, brochure, flyer, website, book cover, etc., 99Designs can help. There's two ways to go about it: either as a contest or you hire a designer outright. In the contest, you invite their entire creative community to participate in your project. Designers submit ideas and you pick your favorite. With the work directly option, they'll help you find a designer with just the right skill set, and you'll collaborate one-on-one with them on your project. So check them out. As always, if you have any questions or want to share your thoughts, go ahead. You can write in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

My vlog is a chance for me to share my creative journey and life with you. Not to boast or brag, but to extract the lessons and hardships I face. Truthfully, last week was a tough week emotionally given the hurricane, more Black killings, politics and Chadwick Boseman's death. However, I found a way to dig myself out. I talk about what I did and how you can apply those same things to your life. Creatively, I discuss strategies I'm using in writing my 2nd script and how I polished up my book's query letter. The big theme of the week is to look for solutions instead of complaining about the problem. So listen and may you be inspired and learn something. As always, if you have any questions or want to share your thoughts, go ahead. You can write in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

This episode is a reflection on the disservice we do to other people by not allowing them to do something on their own. Too often for me I get too involved under the guise of helping. In this way they'll never learn or build the necessary confidence. One of the best examples where parents allowed their child to step into a moment is with Mikaila Ulmer (https://youtu.be/Kb4qe9DcrPM). It's really an inspiring story. I discuss it and talk about my own experiences. I highlight why it's insidious to not allow people to do something for themselves. Now, you might think does that mean I never help. Of course not. Guidance is key. But don't over step. Plus, there is a way to be direct and honest WHILE showing empathy. It's called radical candor, a term Kim Scott coined (you can read more about it in her book aptly titled Radical Candor). So take a listen, reflect with me and make a positive change—for yourself and others. As always, if you have any questions or want to share your thoughts, go ahead.

Having been a member of the podcasting community for a decade, one of the consistencies that is discussed is metrics. Specifically what is a download and how to best define it so it can be standardized for everyone. The reason this is important is so advertisers know how to value the space and thus podcasters can earn revenue from their shows. The IAB's definition of the download has now become the norm that's accepted. Namely because over 30 podcast companies got together to set the rules. In order for the podcast industry to move forward everyone must become IAB compliant. However, that's not always the case. Many companies will say they are IAB compliant but have not in fact gone through the certification to prove they actually are indeed IAB compliant. This is a problem and one that I want you to be aware of, regardless if you're a podcast platform or a podcaster because it affects you dearly. For more information on this subject, check out the New Media Show hosted by Blubrry's Todd Cochrane and Libsyn's Rob Greenlee (https://newmediashow.com/2020/08/20/being-compliant-means-nothing-393/).

Jay Shetty says that "I am" are the two most powerful words because whatever you say after them has such a profound effect on who you are as a person. As such, I have a creative challenge which on the surface might not seem like such a creative challenge. But what I can promise you is if you do this challenge for at least seven days, it will help you in life AND your creative pursuits. This idea came to me from Mike Novogratz who is an investor and was a guest on Tim Ferriss' podcast (https://tim.blog/2020/08/05/mike-novogratz/). I highlight what the challenge is, how to do it and why it'll benefit you. Listen and apply. Rinse, repeat as they say. As always, if you have any questions or want to share your thoughts, go ahead.

Maybe you're like me and that whenever you sit down in front of a computer to start writing (be it a script, novel, report, essay, etc) you get writer's block—the blinking cursor on the blank page is just too intimidating! Because I've battled this demon far too often, I've come up with a method I employ that overcomes this obstacle quite well and accelerates my writing. This is what I share with you in this lesson. Listen and apply. I hope it serves you the way that it's benefits me. As always, if you have any questions or want to share your thoughts, go ahead.

The opposite of more is enough. This idea is super important to me. I've talked about it in the larger context of humanity (https://philsvitek.com/reflections-on-an-infinite-growth-mindset-in-a-finite-world-7-4-2020/), but today I isolate this notion and apply it to your creative pursuits. I explain what I fully mean and how it can impact your creative life for the better when you adhere to this principle. It's definitely worked for me when I adhere to it and I'm sure it can do the same for you. So listen and then take action based on the lesson.

Good communication is ultra important in today's day and age—whether it's verbal or written form. Too often I find, our message get confused because we don't spend enough time crafting the message. Because of this, we repeat ourselves which dilutes the message and creates "listener fatigue". That's not the outcome we want. We want people to hear our message and be enthusiastic about it. In this lesson, I go over a trick that I utilize that helps me become a more effective communicator. This will help you regardless of whether you're a public speaker, host, need to give a presentation or could just use better delivery in your day to day.

I break this vlog into two parts: my creative pursuits and life in general. On the creative spectrum I talk about knowing my value when approached to do a job for a company and how you can too. I discuss progress on my script called In Search of Sunrise, finalizing the edit of my trailer and updating my novel's query letter. For the broad strokes of life, I talk about how to often we treat the symptom and not the problem and give examples. I also highlight the importance of quiet moments in your life and intention setting. Then I talk about two major issues in the news—the Wisconsin shooting and the fires in LA. Both have a major impact on us all. I hope I give you some things to think about. If you have any questions, thoughts, etc don't hesitate to write or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Stay safe!
As citizens, we're supposed to trust the news. It's supposed to be unbiased and accurate. But regardless of your politics, it feels like more and more that isn't the case. Why is this? How does one stay informed and well rounded? It's questions like these that Michael Clouse (@TheOnlyMC) and I explore in our conversation. We deep dive the landscape of modern news—how we got here AND why we got here. In our discussion we highlight why every piece of news is breaking news. It's a wide ranging dialogue about the state of the news business and how its bottom line dictates its path more so than journalistic integrity. If you're reading this description, it may all seem like doom and gloom. Fear not. We offer solutions and take-aways. But to learn then, you'll have to listen and get the full context. Enjoy and may you learn. Afterwards we invite you to share questions or opinion, whether down in the comment section of by hitting us up on social media (@TheOnlyMC & @PhilSvitek). Just remember, we want to move and elevate the conversation, not devolve it. If you're respectful, regardless whether we agree with you, we'll be respectful.

I've been using TikTok since 2019 and have loved it. Now, whether in reaction to the news that TikTok might be shut down or just to compete, Instagram has unveiled Reels. In this episode I offer my thoughts and predictions. I assess and compare the two. Of course, everything could change, but nonetheless I thought it'd be fun to cement my current thoughts and also engage with you to see how you're reacting to what's happening. So please, share. Write down in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek if it's easier. I'd love to hear from you.

I find that a lot of people in my life talk about doing something but then never actually do it. This is sad to me because I know they're talented so I want to see their talents showcased. (As a side note, talent is a process, not a skill IMO - https://philsvitek.com/talent-is-not-a-skill-its-a-process/). And it makes me wonder, whose permission are they waiting for? Especially now with the pandemic, we all have to be more creative in how we manifest our creativity. If you're a filmmaker, make a movie in your apartment. If you're musician do an IG Live concert. If you're an actor, do TikTok lip syncs and other such videos. Are you a comedian? Do some at home stand up and put it up. Never preclude yourself from doing something just because someone's not knocking on your door to do it. Do it AND then people will knock. I have seen this time and time again. Gary Vee (@GaryVee) talks about it all the time. Listen to him if you want to get fully hyped. Regardless, just do the thing you say you want to be doing. Write that book. Sing that song. Paint that picture. Whatever! Just do it! If you have questions or thoughts, comment down below or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek if it's easier. I'd love to hear from you.

As content creators, we should all have a website that houses all of our projects and such. Today it's easier than ever to have one thanks to content management systems like Squarespace, Wix and WordPress. For a breakdown of each, go to https://philsvitek.com/squarespace-vs-wordpress-vs-wix-podcasters-guide-to-website-development/. Instead of discussing the pros and cons of each, this video aims to give you the best WordPress hosting service. There's many out there and believe me when I say I've tried a lot of them. Some are better than others, but there's one that stands out above the rest. And that's WP Engine. In this video I highlight why I use them and why I trust them. Now if you're thinking there's some financial incentive for me then yes, yes there is! And that's to save YOU MONEY. But as far as me getting a kickback from WP Engine, no I don't. I did this episode because I have suffered many frustrations (MANY, including full website crashes with 10,000+ posts and no backups), so I don't want you to ever have to experience that for yourself. That's why this episode was important for me. Check them out at https://wpengine.com/ or on social media @WPEngine. As always, if you have any questions or want to share your thoughts, go ahead.

Danny Royce (@IAmDannyRoyce) is a multifaceted artist. I first got to know him as a host while I was working at AfterBuzz TV. He was a part of many shows before getting to host Black Hollywood Live's Inside the Black Actor's Studio (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsewtEOygG8s_nFYCVynhByUihGlilhYx). As I got to know him, I learned he was into Yoga and also an actor. It was the latter information that made me cast him in my feature film Idyll (http://philsvitek.com/idyll). He nailed the scenes he was a part of, I should mention. In this interview, we cover a lot of topics that I believe all content creators should be thinking about. We go back and forth between practical take-aways and the importance of a sound mind. This is because we both know them to be deeply interconnected. You can't succeed without having the right skills and right mindset. In exploring these thoughts and questions, we discuss the importance of advocacy and standing for something above all other things in your life—a topic very relevant to today's day and age. It's a wide ranging discussion and I love every moment of it. I hope you do too! To check out Danny's work, visit his website at http://www.iamdannyroyce.com/ or follow him on social media @IAmDannyRoyce. And to check out his movie, Nowhere Alaska, which we discuss heavily, go to https://www.amazon.com/nowhere-Alaska-Danny-Royce/dp/B08BYJ9MXF. Lastly, to see his various credits, here's his IMDB page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7514384/. Please support him and kindly comment with what you thought about the interview. What did you learn?

Each of us have to give directions to somebody in our lives. But more and more I've noticed we try to do shorthand. Often times, the other person doesn't understand our shorthand. This leads to confusion, seemingly lack of effort and bad results. One of the important lessons one of my mentors, Keven Undergaro, taught me, is to always explain and to be clear. This is the lesson I wish to impart on you with this episode. Join me as I deep dive this subject. If you have questions or feel like adding your two cents, go right ahead..

In this vlog I discuss how pleased I am with the outline for my latest script and how writing a draft of the screenplay is easy with it. I also share some writing tips. Then I talk about a revelation I had about collaboration and how I utilize it best. Perhaps it'll help you or at least get you to reflect upon yourself. While on the surface there's not much news, the various insights and tips I share are plentiful. Enjoy.

It's not hyperbolic to say that books saved my life when I was depressed. Books have power to transport us, make us empathetic, teach us and so much more. This applies to both fiction and nonfiction. It is this perspective I reflect upon in this episode in hopes to inspire you to read more. So join me for and afterwards share some of your favorite books so we can create an unofficial digital reading list. You can write in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Maybe the plus in Disney+ means you now have to pay more money. Certainly that's the case if you want to see Mulan on the platform when it comes out (https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/disney-asking-money-stream-mulan-outrageous). As both a film lover and as someone who works in the entertainment industry, I wanted to share my thoughts on this decision by Disney. What does it mean for Mulan and the industry at large? I highlight the various opinions I've heard as well. So join me, hear my thoughts and then I invite you to share yours (whether in the comment section of by hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek).

I'm not sure what it is, but a lot of creatives I know and hear about are sloppy. Perhaps it's the notion that if they're more organized it'll lower their creativity. This is false. And I know my friend @JamesLottJr (The Super Organizer) agrees with me because him and I have conversations about this all the time. Having your workspace be organized (both physically AND digitally) sets you directly up for success. I know it firsthand and I know James' many clients have experienced it. And that's why for this creative exercise I implore you to tidy up! Don't wait. Do it today. See what a difference it makes.

While I was at AfterBuzz TV, I employed a technique I'd learned online to teach the hosts to remove filler words from their speech patterns. Filler words are ones such as um, like, you know, etc. This is a simple yet effective method and not only helps hosts, but public speakers of all kinds. In fact, ANYONE can benefit from this. Next time you're in a meeting, you'll be much more articulate and thus able to get your point across by utilizing this method. And the list of positives goes on and on. So join me to learn this exercise and afterwards share any questions as well as your experience trying it out.

My friend @LaurenLoGrasso asked her social media community if self control had a positive or negative connotation. Most that responded said negative. And so did I. That got me thinking and made me want to do this lesson about the need to redefine self control in order for all of us to actually achieve our desired outcome. Join me as I deep dive this topic and afterwards share the ways you'll reconsider self control based on the prompt I give you. Or ask questions in the comment section.

I really don't know what it is, but most people that I see applying for jobs assume it's quantity over quality. Even recently, a close friend of mine who I hold in high regard sent out the most generic cover letter and resume for a big time position. What's the expectation? It certainly can't be that you'll be noticed and hired. And because I've seen this play out time and time again, I did this lesson to guide you so you don't make the same mistakes. I've been in both positions: I've applied to jobs and gotten called back PLUS I've been the one reviewing applications. So I've seen both sides. My advice takes both into consideration to help you out. Join me for this lesson and afterwards share any thoughts or questions in the comment section.

My vlog is a place for me to share my creative journey with you and highlight the obstacles, lessons and victories along the way. This past week had a lot of victories! Not only did Idyll (http://philsvitek.com/idyll) win the Lift Off Global Network First Time Filmmakers Session (https://youtu.be/_7csU0r0dAc?t=102) but I finished what hopefully is the last pass of my novel Elan, Elan. Plus my friend Lauren LoGrasso (@LaurenLoGrasso) got some amazing news! Her podcast Unleash Your Inner Creative is up for a People's Choice Podcast Award. Victories galore! I also talk about how collaborating with other artists have been beneficial for me in keeping the ball moving. Then I talk about how I organized before talking about some personal stuff. Enjoy. If you have any questions, thoughts, etc don't hesitate to write or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Stay safe!
This episode isn't a lesson, but a reflection to which I invite you to participate in by commenting or hitting me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I reflect upon the idea that when it comes to our politics, the ads and news I'm seeing seems overwhelmingly to just attack the political opponents. This devolves governance because we never end up talking about the issues. Those are the things I want debated. Hear my thoughts and then afterwards please share your thoughts. I'd love have a meaningful discussion with you.
Many storytellers (authors, scriptwriters, etc), especially when starting out, consider plot and character to be two distinct parts of storytelling. They are not. (Thankfully I learned this lesson early on from Robert McKee—you can too by reading his book STORY). The reason I know they are not different is because of YouTube channels like Screen Rant's Pitch Meetings (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL--PgETgAz5FGoatB9KQzbnpv0bgZqU2l), Screen Junkies' Honest Trailers (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL86F4D497FD3CACCE) and Cinema Sins (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMWfZxj1nTkQBy4AeRGG4xH5d2IIApNPj). These videos showcase various plot holes and bad character motivation within movies. Sometimes they are truly nitpicks but other times they are correct. Had the writers in some of those instances not considered plot and character as separate those plot holes and bad motivation wouldn't exist. Join me for this lesson and afterwards share any thoughts or questions in the comment section. Hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek if it's easier. I'd love to hear from you.

There's many people we label as selfish who I don't think are selfish. Instead, I think they are short sighted. And that's a huge difference because I believe there are plenty of cases in life where an individual's selfishness CAN in fact be harnessed for good. It can create win-win scenarios for both the individual AND OTHERS. Don't believe me? Join me for this lesson and afterwards share any thoughts or questions in the comment section.

Too often I find myself defaulting to the phrase "thank you" when thanking someone for something. And I'm willing to bet you do too. This isn't insidious but the more it becomes a default habit, the less you and I are likely to think and mean the words we're actually saying. In a way, it defeats the purpose from even saying those two words. Instead, what we should all aim to do is vary the ways in which we say thank you. There are benefits to doing so that will reverberate in your life. Firstly, it'll make you more grateful and gratitude in one's life has proven to have huge positive effects. Secondly, it'll force you to be more present and aware. Huge benefit to your life. And thirdly, it makes you have to be creative. As artists, isn't that a good thing? I certainly think so! Join me for this lesson and afterwards share three new ways for you to say thank you in the comment section. Hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek if it's easier. I'd love to hear from you.

Far too often we put and emphasis on being first to do something. We use it as a means of comparison. For example, "my kid learned to read before yours." Who cares? If the other child learned to read then that's all that matters. Life can't be measured the same way as a 100 meter dash. There being first does matter. But if you're running a business, being first often matters little. It's about staying IN business. And you can extract that to individual parts of life too. So why do we hold onto this belief of being 1st in things? It is this idea that I unpack and explore in this episode. I'd love for you to join and afterwards be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I'd love to hear from you!
Welcome to my vlog where on this episode I talk about the need to celebrate creative victories. Mine was Idyll, my film, being in its 1st film festival and receiving good feedback from audiences. While it's no long screening for the time being, it will again in the future—to stay up to date visit http://philsvitek.com/idyll. Then I discuss how I consulted with USC professor Sam Roberts on technology. This is because the new script I'm working on is science fiction but I wanted to ground it in reality as much as possible so having someone like him who I could ask specific details really enhanced the story. And I recommend research for your projects as well. Plus I talk about a breakthrough I had in removing filler words from podcasting easily. It's a game changer. If you're interested in hiring me to do this for you, check out http://philsvitek.com/podcastservices. I also spent some time teaching a friend editing. And lastly, I highlight the choice to focusing on completing open ended projects before I tackle the one newer ones I'm itching to get started on. If you have any questions, thoughts, etc don't hesitate to write or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Stay safe!
In an episode of the Tim Ferriss Show, there was a discussion about how to truly unplug during a vacation (https://tim.blog/2020/07/23/brad-feld/). This discussion was moving for me because so many of us need vacations and to truly get away from work but we don't technically. And that's because of emails. I don't mean that we're always checking emails while we're away. What I mean is they are always right there, waiting for us, when we return. They stare us in the face, all hundreds of those new emails, taunting us and making us essentially live out the past week. You might be thinking this is an exaggeration, and sure, it may be BUT do these emails NOT take away your time at the start of your week? Would you not be better served if you went into work WITHOUT having to spend your 1st day back managing emails? That's the point of the technique which they shared and now I'm sharing with you.

It's super important to seek out differing thoughts and opinions within you life. Why? Because without them, you'll be unaware of your blindspots. And ironically, the more you think you know, the more blindspots you end up having. Investor Ray Dalio is successful with his Bridgewater Associates BECAUSE he employs such a technique with any investments they make. Conversely, NASA could have benefited from a culture of differing opinions. How? You'll have to join me for this lesson. I not only go over this bit of history but discuss how this thinking could affect you. Afterwards share any thoughts or questions in the comment section.

Any podcasts that has repetitive filler words (um, you know, etc) feels unprofessional and detracts from the core message of the host or guest. But removing them is both tedious and time consuming. That's where I come in. I will remove them from your audio podcast for you - just click here: https://www.fiverr.com/share/1E65Dk. It doesn't matter if your audio has 10 or 10,000 filler words—I will get it done for you quickly so you meet your deadlines!
How it works is you'll send me your audio—you can either send me a single audio file with everyone's voices mixed together OR as separate tracks for each individual. If you send me separate tracks, make sure the timing of the tracks is the same. (I won't be able to sync them for you). Once I receive your file(s) I will remove the filler words for you. When I'm done, I can deliver it back to you in these ways:
-A mixed down, single MP3 file
-Separate audio tracks for each individual person
-An Adobe Audition session along with all project assets I have created packages based on the length of your raw audio.
The longer the audio, the more I have to charge since it's more effort on my part. But, besides the basic starter package, I'll also do noise reduction and volume compression on your audio so it sounds clean and smooth.

Our brains, whether we want it or not, are limited in the amount of decisions we can make in a day. If we make too many choices, we end up with decision fatigue. This is an issue because you want to maximize your brain power on the things that matter in your life. So how do you combat this? You eliminate 1,000 tiny decisions with one major decision. I highlight how and provide you with examples. More importantly though, I challenge you at the end to come up with major decisions for your life that can get rid of unnecessary decision making.

Our phones are one of the biggest distractions we have in life. As a creative, anything that distracts you is not productive. Hence I have turned off as many notifications as I can get away with so I can focus better on the task(s) at hand.

During an episode of Yoga Girl: Conversation from the Heart, host Rachel Brathen talked about how society puts this value and pressure for us to remain busy constantly (https://www.yogagirl.com/podcast/conversations-from-the-heart/wherever-you-go-there-you-are). This really resonated with me because it does feel true. You hear phrases like "everyone has value" or "everyone is lovable inherently" but we don't show it. It is this idea that I unpack and explore in this episode. I'd love for you to join and afterwards be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have.

In this edition of my vlog, I talk about how my film Idyll is complete and available to watch until August 2nd as part of Lift-Off's First Time Filmmakers Festival. For more info, head to http://philsvitek.com/idyll. I also talk about how Parkinson's Law has been affecting me and what I'm doing to combat it. And, in order to help setup the rules of a sci-fi script I'm writing, I discuss how I'm bringing in an expert from USC to help consult for me.

Daily Mail published an article (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8513727/Actors-writers-producers-warn-reverse-racism-film-industry.html?fbclid=IwAR1f_02rmE3VLhaOIEy8X-KzAWZLBylafJ9nuFxrA9h6O7JgWnxexHA7zkg) titled: "Hollywood's identity crisis: Actors, writers and producers warn of 'reverse racism' in the film industry which has created a 'toxic' climate for anyone who is a white, middle-age man". This headline grabbed me because it's a bold claim that I personally haven't seen the evidence of yet since I'm still seeing constant casting news of white actors and producers (ex: https://deadline.com/2020/07/wolfman-ryan-gosling-leigh-whannell-universal-pictures-blumhouse-the-invisible-man-1202980413/). So I wanted to explore this. But rather than me offer a perspective, I wanted to allow my friend Derrail Christon (@DerrialChriston) to offer his. He is a Black producer and host of Black Hollywood Live's The Trend (@WeAre_TheTrend) alongside Courtney Stewart (@StewartStarLit).

Blake V (@BlakeVMedia) is a friend from my AfterBuzz TV days where she used to host. Today, among other things, she is a RYT 200 yoga instructor. She joins me to chat about the importance of a peaceful mind in order to achieve your highest creative self. We deep dive into many topics, including how to deal with uncertainty, how habits impact us, the benefits of yoga physically and mentally AND why many of us, in spite of knowing better, don't always take the action steps necessary. It's a wide ranging and impactful conversation. I learned a lot and I know you will too. For more of Blake's work, check out @MakingConsciousMoves on YouTube and Instagram.

Whenever I need digital assets for a project (whether a WordPress website theme, motion graphics, photos, 3D files, coding, video, etc.) I go to the Envato Market (http://themeforest.net). They have literally thousands of templates for you to browse through and download. Sure, it costs money but we're talking on average $35. That's amazing. Plus the designers provide you with instructions on how to alter text font, color, images and so on. This means you can customize it to your liking THUS saving you so much time and money. Trust me, I know how much it costs to make something from scratch. In this episode I overview how I utilize the site and how you can take advantage too.

Cody Schram was the Emerson College Men's Soccer captain when I was a freshman. And even though there was an age difference, we clicked on and off the field. So much so that I boldly asked him to compose a short film of mine years later (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B02F8OYfm5I). He did an incredible job BUT the fact of the matter was, he'd never composed a score before. His background was in music, specifically hip hop. That was how I was introduced to him creatively. Specifically, it was a song called Mankind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsZiVevhbzA) that he had @WillKnox sing on and @Butch_Caires direct (both were EC teammates). But I knew I liked his musical sense and something about him gave me the sense that he could compose scores too. And he took a chance on me as much as I took a chance on him. Years later, I called him again to compose the score of my film Idyll and the result is fantastic. In this interview, we go wide with the topics. We open with our soccer days and how college influenced Cody. Then we discuss how music has changed over the years. But mainly we talk about the process of art in all facets. That's Cody's passion. He loves learning. He loves creating and it was fun to pick his brain on so many things including how he's handling the pandemic.

Dan Millman, author of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, has a wonderful quote that goes: "Everyone tells you what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers. They want you to believe theirs." I think about that in the context of today's world where we're bombarded from all angles what to think. I explore my thoughts on how to counteract this in a healthy way where you don't shut yourself off to the world and never challenge yourself (because that wouldn't be good either.

Edgar Cortes is a sound designer / sound mixer who I found through Upwork (https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0132930b8decf2d504) and we connected right away. It was him who took my first feature film Idyll (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12042774/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3) and got it over the finish line with the sound. He smoothed out the production sound, cleaned up ADR, added in much needed sound effects, mastered the music compositions, etc. In this interview, we chat about the movie as well as his background and how he learned to do the things he's doing. As we discuss, he shares the various insights that make him successful at his job. Whether you're a sound person or the more general filmmaker, knowing these tricks will help you tremendously.

When I was in my 20s, I thought the more I learned, the more correct I had to be in arguments. Not the case I have come to find out BECAUSE in fact, the more you learn, the more blindspots you end up having and you search for information to reaffirm your beliefs. Knowledge IS like an island, the greater your knowledge, the more surface area there is for you to be attacked about your ideals. And rightfully so because you're not seeing the other INFINITE viewpoints. When I learned this, it not only blew my mind, but changed my life. I hope that with me presenting this lesson to you, it'll make you more open minded as well. Comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have.

Mr. Rogers famously advised us to look for helpers in times of trouble. This is advice I've heeded now especially with so many things going on in the world. And it's advice you can use even in your regular, day to day creative life. But, when I started "looking for the helpers" I asked myself, "am I negating the bad things happening?" Good news is, I've learned that you can in fact be both a REALIST & OPTIMIST at the same time. By having hope and finding the people doing good, you don't have to be blind to the evils/horrors of the world. Happiness is a choice and by getting together with helpers, we can turn the world towards the better, towards solutions. Comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have.

Adam Carolla has this idea that we all need to fortify our bodies from the inside out, instead of focusing on what's hazardous to us in the outside world. Of course that doesn't mean we should worry about things outside of us, but if we strengthen our body by eating well, exercising, sleeping, de-stressing ourselves, etc, we can significantly increase our ability to handle infections and such. It's not guaranteed by any stretch of the imagination but it does help. AND we all know these things intuitively but we need to act on them, now more than ever.

From my experience being the interviewee for jobs, I'M SHOCKED at how little effort many hiring managers put into this job. And they wonder why they don't find the right candidates and end up firing people. It's as if they feel that if they fill the position quickly, that's better. FALSE. I learned from How Google Works, a book by Eric Schmidt, that hiring is ultra important. So I have adopted that principle into my practices EVEN for my own indie projects. It is my hiring practices that save me time and money in the long run because I find the right candidate for the job.

When I read Tim Ferriss' book The 4 Hour Work Week, there was one parable that really struck me (https://medium.com/@joneytalks/the-parable-of-the-mexican-fisherman-and-the-banker-f1c064f323f5). It is this parable about the American investor and Mexican fisherman that I share and extract the lessons contained within.

In this edition of my vlog, I talk about how I used last week to recharge. I highlight the importance of focusing my efforts and how the Thrive app really helped me accomplish this. In terms of being creative, I point to the idea that we sometimes just need to move the ball forward, however small an increment. I worked on my how-to book for filmmaking, based on my experience making my first feature film called Idyll. Then I talk about editing my novel and tackling the minor notes before I get to the major ones.

In CurrentAffairs.org, I read an interesting article pertaining to the "normal" working conditions of the entertainment industry (https://bit.ly/2NG0jiD). I highlight the big points of the article and provide my thoughts on it. Overall, the big argument that both the article and I have is that we need to rethink what is normal within the entertainment industry.

Recently I saw Michael Moore's eco-doc "Planet of the Humans" (https://bit.ly/3g6IVjk). I know it's a controversial film but the part that really stuck with me that shouldn't be controversial (although I'm sure it will be) is the idea that with an infinite growth mindset in a finite world, it leads to suicide. This is the statement I reflect upon in this episode and how it pertains to our capitalist society. I offer up my two cents about the direction and discussions that need to be had.

Right now I see a lot of people being called out for things they've done in the past. I think rightfully so. And some of the things certain people are being called out for are truly insidious and they deserve to be so-called canceled. However, there's a good sector of people that I feel could change and grow but we're too quick to dismiss them. I understand what they did was wrong but at the same time, to turn the tide of social justices we need to build allies. To do that, we need to educate people. If we don't I fear people will not be willing to put themselves out there in public roles in politics and entertainment because it just won't be worth it. This is the basis of my argument in this episode as I offer up my two cents.

I listened to an episode of the Gary Vee Audio Experience (https://bit.ly/31Cxbku) where he was being interviewed by Business Insider.

Many times in the past I would schedule creative sessions for one long weekend so I'd be unbothered by other things. Or I'd consider other ideal conditions to be creative, thinking this was solve mental blocks. I have come to learn that this is the domain of the amateur. There are no ideal circumstances for being creative. It really comes down to routine and habit. Putting in consistent work, even if just 30 minutes a day, will yield far greater results for you creatively than one long weekend here and there. This is the concept I highlight and unpack within the episode. For even more info, check out Steven Pressfield's books (such as The War of Art or Do The Work).

Last week, I was listening to a recent episode from Marie Forleo about what she's learning and doing about racism (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qTuCCtFU5A). One thing that she learned that also stood out to me is that the opposite of racism is not "not racist". When you use a term like that it's white exceptionalism. It absolves you of dealing with the problem mentally. But you cannot absolve yourself. There's only two choices: racist or antiracist. If you really say you want racism to end then you must be an antiracist. Pure and simple. In this video I offer up my thoughts and details. Also, please check out Ibram X. Kendi's book How to Be an Antiracist for a much more detailed and better account. Comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have.

On this edition of my vlog I update you on my film's sound mix/design (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12042774/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3) and the feedback I received from test audiences. I talk about how I'm using my walks with my dogs as a means to be creatively productive and the breakthrough I had with my script. Then I transition into the idea that there is no timeline for creativity—it's all self imposed. Because of this, it is important (in my mind) to be there for people who need us. Plus, I talk about listening to my body more thanks to a notion Yoga Girl Rachel Brathen discussed on her podcast (https://www.yogagirl.com/podcast). Lastly, I talk about reading and how I'm mentally preparing myself for a 2nd round of stay at home orders in California.

Often times, myself included, we feel like are problems are unique. But this is the ego talking to us. Throughout human history, humans have faced pretty much every problem we can imagine. The context may be different, but the core of it remains the same. Which is why "listening to the dead" can help ease your anxiety during chaotic situations. What does this mean? Firstly, reading. That's a great and direct way to learn from the dead. Book are like a time machine. Really. Secondly, listen to others talk about history and extract the lessons from history and apply them to today. When you do this, you'll be amazed at how easier life can seem. The beauty of living today is that millions of people have already lived and it would be a shame not to tap into their knowledge.

Raymond Chandler, author of novels such as The Big Sleep, had a unique writing method. He used to write on index cards. Why? So that his writing was dynamic. If nothing happened on the index card he finished writing on, he scrapped it. Each index card had to have something significant happen. That gave his novels energy and kept readers hooked. I love this technique. It totally aligns with the notion of trying to achieve the greatest impact in the least amount of words. This is a method any writer can utilize, even digitally. Just adjust the page margins. Try it out for yourself and see how much stronger your writing can become. BTW, I only discuss fiction writing in this episode but it works equally well with nonfiction.

Screenwriting software such as Final Draft or Celtx can be costly, especially for up-and-coming filmmakers. Plus, from my experience, they're not as collaborative as I'd like them to be. As such, I dug and found a way to turn Google Docs into a screenwriting software! For FREE! Here is the link: https://gsuite.google.com/marketplace/app/screenplay_formatter/351965757287. You just download the extension and BAM, Google Docs becomes your screenwriting software. It's slightly cumbersome I will admit because you have to manually punch in whether it's a scene heading, a character, dialogue, etc each time BUT it is free and WAY easier to collaborate in real time on with other writers, especially as we continue working from home during this pandemic.

I am a HUGE fan of audio dramas (my favorite ones include Wolverine, MARVELS, Deadly Manner & Hadron Gospel Hour). And in the current context of the world, I've been thinking more and more about them, namely because I think they offer a viable creative outlet to indie filmmakers. Indie filmmaking was always an uphill battle. But with Coronavirus, filmmaking in the foreseeable future will be even harder. So why not as a filmmaker dip your hand in audio dramas? It's a good way to flex some of the lesser used muscles in your filmmaking toolset because you're forced to think about audio versus the visual aspect. You have to paint the scene and 3D space of each scene solely through ambiance and SFX. That's super useful because then once you do make a film it'll make your scenes be that much more dynamic. Plus it's a way to build an audience that's not as time consuming (arguably, although not definitive). Most importantly, it can be done safely. Everyone (cast + crew) can work from the comfort of their homes! That's a big deal. So why not try it? I'm certainly working towards it.

In the past, I used to look at people I admired and make the mistake of seeing what they had and I didn't. Why? This didn't help me. It made me a passenger in life. It gave me the false view that I had no control or ability to do what they did. False. Instead, I am now looking at what I do have in life and I suggest you do the same. When we compare, we're always going to be able to see what someone has at their disposal. But why can't we do that for ourselves? I have many resources and talents people wish they had. And you do too. So let's both stop complaining and actually utilize them. It's this type of mentality that allowed an early 20s Robert Rodriguez to complete an action film for $7,000. And he's not an exception. Plenty of people seemingly do the impossible every day. They do it by focusing on what they have. That's how they define themselves, not by what they don't. The don't aspect they can't control. But they can utilize what they have. And that puts them in the driver's seat of life, a much better place to be. Trust me. I'm learning it firsthand.

With this episode, I talk about how the election will most likely come down to what a few "battleground" states' voters, and therefore their electors, do on November 3rd. Just because you don't live there (or better yet, if you do), you can have a huge impact on helping these voters make their decision and getting them to the polls on Election Day. All from the comfort of your own home. Adopt a state. Save America. How it works: you can directly support the work of organizers, volunteers, and candidates in the six key battleground states that will be most important to delivering a progressive majority in 2020. Just pick a state at https://votesaveamerica.com/states/, sign up, and they'll get you everything you need to make a big difference this November.

In this edition of my vlog I discuss how I'm bridging my social justice efforts with creativity. I talk about the various movies and books I'm checking out to educate myself as well as my involvement in Vote Save America's Adopt a State effort. Also, I talk about how there is no ideal day for creativity and how I've been restarting my creative efforts. Specifically, I talk about the sound design process for my feature film Idyll (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12042774/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3). At the end I add in some thoughts on my drive in movie experience plus the awesome interview I had with Chelsea Galicia about finance and how I think more creatives need to focus on their finances (link to ep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7FzTb9d3q0). If you have any questions, thoughts, etc don't hesitate to write or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Stay safe!

If you're a novelist but don't have an agent like me, I encourage you to learn about #PitMad. The hashtag is the original Twitter pitch event, where writers Tweet a 280-character pitch for their completed, polished, unpublished manuscripts. Agents and editors make requests by liking/favoriting the tweeted pitch. Every unagented writer is welcome to pitch. All genres/categories are welcomed. #PitMad occurs quarterly. Upcoming dates are: September 3, 2020 (8AM – 8PM EST) & December 3, 2020 (8AM – 8PM EST). Some tips: Don’t favorite friends’ Tweets. The agents will be requesting by favoriting Tweets, and more favorites can make it hard for those with requests to see all of their faves/likes. RT or Quote-RT to show your support. Do NOT use the hashtag when quote RTing – Keep the hashtag clean so agents can navigate it easily. Be respectful and courteous to each other, and especially to the industry professionals. If you do see abuse, please report it to Twitter or notify one of the hosts of the event. AND, in an effort to amplify Black voices, the event has added a #BVM (Black Voices Matter) hashtag. If you are a Black author, please feel free to include #BVM in your tweets so agents/editors can use it to search for pitches. For more info, visit https://pitchwars.org/pitmad/.

Ryan Holiday introduced me to the term "dream hoarding" during Eric Weinstein's podcast (https://podcastnotes.org/portal-with-eric-weinstein/ryan-holiday/). The core of it argues that the upper-middle class has enriched itself and harmed economic mobility. The rich get richer and keep the poor down. Yes, similar to other notions talked about in our times but I like how this notion explores how Boomers are in charge of most institutions and how since the 70s the spending power of the dollar has decreased and the so-called American dream of the white picket fence is not a reality for many people. This ties heavily into systemic racism and it's why I chose to explore this notion within this episode. For more info, check out the book that introduced this idea (https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Hoarders-American-Leaving-Everyone/dp/081572912X) or check out this article: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/06/the-hoarding-of-the-american-dream/530481/.

Through social media and news, I've seen pushback against the idea of "defunding the police" and in my observation it stems from the opposition not understanding the term. With this episode, I aim to demystify and debunk the term fundamentally, because it in fact aims to better handle the various emergencies communities face. I also bring up the notion that no proposed reform will be perfect. BUT the current system is FAR FROM PERFECT and so anything BETTER is GOOD. Here's some articles to dig deeper into the notion: https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/502648-what-defund-the-police-actually-means, https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/what-does-defund-police-really-mean/612904/, https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/06/us/what-is-defund-police-trnd/index.html, https://www.thecut.com/2020/06/what-does-defund-the-police-mean-the-phrase-explained.html.

It's been a while since I last posted an episode and that's because I've been focusing on learning and doing what I can to be an ally in the Black Lives Matter movement. Part of what I'm reflecting on is my longer term role in this social cause. What happens a year from now? I also think about why I think there is pushback from people on certain ideas which stem to me from this idea that we need to become more open-minded to other's stories and histories. Plus I talk about the idea of law neutrality and how fundamentally this idea is flawed. And I give suggestions on how to engage your white friends to continue the conversation so BLM doesn't end up being a trend, but rather a true social movement. If you have any questions, thoughts, etc don't hesitate to write or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Stay safe!
James Lott Jr. (@JamesLottJr) is a very good friend of mine and someone I admire because even though he's 51 years old, he has the energy of a teenager. This combines perfectly because his wisdom is vast and he has the ability to put it to use. I have learned a lot from him and am honored to call him a mentor. In this episode he joins me for a powerful conversation about race is America. He's experiences racism in various forms, especially in the corporate world. He's fought for social justice. These are moments of his history and the collective history that he openly shares so we as white people may listen and learn. But that is step one because listening is not enough. Action and reform must be taken. James highlights everyday things you can and should do to enact change. That's why I love James — he's very practical. Please listen with an open heart and acknowledge the gift he is providing. I call it a gift because IT IS NOT the job of Black people to educate us on racism anymore. It is our responsibility to learn. And yet, here he is willing to put in the time because he's optimistic that by doing so, it will create the change so many wish to see. Let's not the one hour he freely gave to us be in vain. Please share the whole interview or sections to anyone who may benefit from it. You can download directly and repost. No need to tag me. Tag James. In fact, be inclined to cut me out and just leave James' answers because I do not want this to be about me. It is about James and a whole community across America like him. Thank you.
Ashley Drew Jones (@OkDrewJ) is a dear friend of mine and she was kind enough to join me for a discussion on the various racist systems and structures plaguing America. She did this hours after her brother suffered at the hands of the police. I am in awe of her strength and fortitude to keep fighting for justice and with this interview I aim to amplify her voice and the voice of other's like her. But let me also be very clear. This is now an issue white America (I am very much lumped into this category) must solve. Black people have bared the burden of our sins and guilt is not enough. What I find fascinating is that at this point it is not the job of Black people to educate us. It is our own. AND YET, here is Drew willing to sit down with me and help educate me... AND YOU by extension. I sincerely hope that you listen. Not for me, but for her. And I encourage you to reshare this with whoever may benefit from it. Download it directly and reupload, that way I don't receive the views, because this is not a trend for me. Cut me out of the episode entirely if you wish but HEAR Drew. Continue to educate yourself while also taking action. That is my sincere hope in posting this so that way we can continue progress in the Black Lives Matter movement. Thank you.
There are times in life where you have to look beyond yourself and step up in a significant way. This is one of those times. I believe we have an inherent desire to make history. But if we're being honest, it's a selfish desire to BE historical, not to truly shape history. At least that's how I've acted in the past. And so in this episode I share my experience, directly aimed at white people, so you perhaps can see similar patterns within yourself and reflect on the necessary changes needed in our society. I try to highlight as many of the solutions as I can that I've learned, because WE NEED solutions, NOT COMPLAINTS. Complaints reflect selfishness, not progress. I incorporate as many resources as I can that have impacted me to know better and do better and I hope you can benefit from them too. If you have solutions, resources that you'd like me to check out, please comment. I want to use this time as a means of self reflection but also helping. And by you sharing, I'm sure others will benefit too. Thank you and let's come to the aid of our Black citizens who need our help desperately at the moment.
Almost a month ago I did a video where I stated I'd do a 21-day no-complaint challenge (https://youtu.be/MGWn1VZMr2k). In this episode, I highlight the result and findings from my experience. What you start to realize is that complaining doesn't make your problems go away. It instead means that you're stuck (https://youtu.be/b78XklNMrr0). And when you realize this, you can gain some agency over your life and look for solutions. You realize YOU ARE in control of your life and can take responsibility for what happens to you. One of the biggest revelations has been there is no world peace without inner peace (a notion that both Erwin McManus and Byron Katie have). And even though this episode is all about my experience, I share it in hopes of inspiring you to try this challenge as well so it may alter your life the way it has mine.

In the past few weeks, I noticed that as a country, America hasn't really had the ability to mourn and grieve this pandemic. We have lost lives to Covid-19. We have lost lives due to natural circumstances. And we've lost jobs and the economy. This deserves to be processed so we can move forward. And because of this thinking, it hit me how allowing grief into your life can actually amplify your gratitude. Many self help books, gurus, etc teach the power of gratitude. But I haven't heard many talk about incorporating grief into it. I think when you do, it's a truly powerful way to consider things because it makes you so much more appreciative for your life and what you have (friends, family and even the material things). This is the notion I explore today in hopes that it serves you as well. Comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have. Hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek if it's easier.

Many people have started up podcasting, which is great. And Anchor.fm is a great FREE tool to publish and distribute your podcast. (FYI, here's an article I published on how to get start in podcasting from equipment to publishing: start a podcast: https://philsvitek.com/get-started-podcasting-with-both-audio-video/) But what about a website for it? How do you build that? In the past (https://philsvitek.com/squarespace-vs-wordpress-vs-wix-podcasters-guide-to-website-development/) I pointed people to Squarespace, Wix and WordPress. But now there's a simple tool dedicated to creating a website for your podcast and it's http://podcastpage.io. It's the easiest way to get a website going for your podcast BECAUSE it's dedicated to podcasting. I think that's fantastic and encourage you to check it out if you want to take your new or pre-existing podcast to the next level. Comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have.

When I was writing my first novel (Elan, Elan), I knew I needed someone to help me with structure, grammar and basically all things book related. Enter Emily Krempholtz. I've now known her close to two years and she's been a tremendous asset to me. In this episode she joins me for a discussion on the storytelling process, what it's like to be an editor and work with other writers, tricks and habits she employs plus so much more. So check it out, it's both entertaining and informative (at least it certainly was for me). If you too would like to work with Emily, you should check out her website http://emilykrempholtz.com. It's got her various projects, services and a way to connect with her. (Fun fact: her and I share the same birthday). Please be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have. Or hit us up on social media @PhilSvitek & @WritersOfRohan. We’d love to hear from you!
Within my circle of friends, I keep hearing them lament how if only these were ideal circumstances they'd know what to do and how to move forward. Sorry to break it to you, but there will never be ideal circumstances to life. Unexpected things happen all the time, sometimes as tragedies (whether 9/11, the stock market crash or a pandemic) and other times it comes as "luck". But we don't get upset with "luck" because it plays in our favor. Though I don't wish bad things on anyone, the more we start to accept that the greater world is outside of our control, the more at peace we can be and ironically, have greater impact because we'll be focused on what we do have control over. And that is ourself, the individual. That is what I explore today and while it might not sound easy breezy in terms of subject matter, it can actually be very liberating once you accept this in life. Please be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you!
Last week I spent a good chunk of time on the submission process. I submitted my feature film "Idyll" to various festivals in LA, San Diego, Paris, Prague, and Boston that had May 25th deadlines. I did this through FilmFreeway.com. I also spent time sending query letters for my novel. Each one taught me something. From a more creative standpoint, I talk about editing my friend Richard Vission's promo for his DJ set and a new strategy I'm employing in terms of writing my latest script (tentatively called "In Search of Sunrise"). Plus I go over how taking a step back (in this case with my trailer) can give you a fresh set of eyes to assess a project. And because people have DM'd me to talk about Joe Rogan's Spotify deal, I give some of my initial thoughts, which admittedly most are taken from GaryVee who predicted this would happen. But that does lead me into a topic of how we're all so impatient when most people's biggest contributions come AFTER the age of 50 years old. The way to combat this is to "learn from the dead". I explore what this term means to me and how recently, reading a historical fiction novel "Paris" by Edward Rutherford really gave me good perspective. Part of the age old wisdom we've heard time and time again is exercise is good for the mind. As such, I've been doing a lot of biking and it's been fun. Lastly, I talk about how fun it was to get the old Anatomy of a Movie band back together to talk movies. You can check out that show here: https://youtu.be/fjbkDlYAhAs. If you have any questions, thoughts, etc don't hesitate to write or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Stay safe!
For over 5 years, Demetri Panos (@DemetriPanos), Marisa Serafini (@SerafiniTV) and I did a movie series called Anatomy of a Movie (https://bit.ly/3gksPn6). To call it a review series would be a huge disservice. As fans of movies, we gave our opinions but we also went into the behind-the-scenes making of aspects and tried to showcase our love of movies by helping bring to light how hard the filmmaking process truly is and what a miracle any movie that's made truly is. It's been a while since the three of us got together to talk movies online, but we felt this was a perfect opportunity to do so. In this episode, we each highlight three movies we think you'd enjoy watching at home during continued quarantine/stay-at-home orders. We give you a basic summary, some context for the film and most importantly, why we loved it. Afterwards, we do an "after-dark" segment where we basically go down memory lane. So join us and as you watch, please comment down below with your thoughts on any of the movies we discuss OR suggest a movie of your own. PS: If you'd love to see the band back together, please let us know and we'll figure out something moving forward. Thank you! PS: Here's the movies we selected: a re-watch of Jurassic Park, Your Name, In A Lonely Place, The Mandela Effect, Birds of Prey, The Farewell, The Descendants, Troop Zero and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Even though we listed them here, we encourage you to watch the full episode otherwise you won't know WHY we recommended these.
Google's CEO is advocating for less wordy presentations and I couldn't agree more (https://www.inc.com/carmine-gallo/how-googles-ceo-creates-brain-friendly-presentations.html). I have seen far too many "professional" pitches that looked more like treatments and business proposals than slideshows. This is a huge hinderance in your ability to get the message you want across. It's like all art forms, "omit needless words" which really means you want the greatest impact in the smallest amount of time. That's what I explore with this lesson.

In the current climate, I think we all need to re-examine the definition of freedom. There was a wonderful post I saw that opened my eyes: https://eand.co/how-freedom-became-free-dumb-in-america-baee33dc6476. I don't necessarily agree with it 100% but it does make you think. I especially like the idea of the dichotomy of freedom from (negative) vs freedom to (positive). This really allowed me to further see how all things are related and that it doesn't have to be the economy or healthy. Both can happen. It's a political episode from me but I think worth checking out. I'm just posing ideas, BTW. I'm not saying you have to think this way. And to that point, I'm happy to check out ideas you have if you write them down below or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I love to learn and grow and as long as we do it respectfully.
The coronavirus crisis has opened up our eyes to the idea that we're very dependent on others for basic things in life. Now, I'm not saying we don't need people. We all need human interaction. But, we can't, nor should we, rely completely on the outside world to provide us with everything. Even food. There are steps you can take to have more sources of revenue and provide your own food. Now is the time to really sit down and consider what this means for you. I highlight some of the steps I'm taking, but really this is a lesson meant to get you to examine your life so you gain control of what you do actually have control over.

I've often heard that anger is the externalization of fear but I've never heard complaining be explored until recently. What I learned was that complaining just means you feel stuck in a situation or on a problem. IDK about you, but I never realized this before. But now that I do, I recognize it as such and can move towards solutions. It's a signal that says "hey, something needs to change." In practice, we can look to Marcus Aurelius for some guidance. When he journaled, that was his form of venting. And after he got those thoughts out he'd examine them from a critical standpoint and look for the solution/wisdom. These are the notions I explore today in hopes that they may help you elevate your life. Comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have.

In most debates, disputes and arguments I've seen, people go below the belt. Why? No one wins in that scenario. If your real objective is to come to some sort of resolution, try employing the strawman method in your argument. It allows you to empathize with the opposite party thereby making your points stronger. This ultimately leads to a much better outcome overall with one one hurt because it was based on merit of idea, not personal attacks. Join me in this lesson to see how it works. Please be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you!
Oftentimes I've said yes to things I really wanted to say no to. Or if I did say no, I gave a long winded reason why because I didn't want to hurt the other person's feelings. Neither helps. In the first scenario you're doing something that you don't want to be doing and in the second you're opening yourself up to debate. A simple no is far more effective. And it's all in the way you say it. "Thank you AND no" rather than "thank you BUT no." This is a technique from Byron Katie, who I love. I heard Elizabeth Gilbert talk about it on Tim Ferriss' show and it made so much sense (https://tim.blog/2020/05/08/elizabeth-gilbert/). That's what I explore in this episode, so check it out.

Another week of quarantine in the books and one big decision I made during last week was to control what I focus on. It didn't mean I wasn't informed, but I was much more aware of how I consumed information, thereby controlling my creative output and thoughts better. Part of how I took a hold of my thoughts was by selecting what media to consume. And in this case I decided to watch some film noir. I talk about some of the movies I watched and ones that were recommended to me thanks to a social media post that I thought was just a throw-away (a lesson in and of itself). Then, I shift gears and discuss my creative projects, like my film's sound design process, sending out book queries and writing a new script. If you have any questions, thoughts, etc don't hesitate to write or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Stay safe!
I'm a big advocate of naps to increase your alertness thereby productivity for the 2nd half of your day. Many successful people make it part of their routines. Churchill certainly did. But there's been a silent few who have drank coffee before their naps. WTF? Why? That seems counterintuitive. Not really because coffee takes about 25 minutes to kick in. AND in order to gain the benefits of a midday nap, you shouldn't sleep for more than 20 minutes really. Otherwise you get groggy. So, if you combine the two, you'll get the benefit of both! That's what I explore today. FYI, you can read more about the science here: https://www.danpink.com/resource/nappuccino-a-scientific-5-step-guide-to-the-perfect-nap/.

Alex Wehrley (@AlexWehrley) is a dear friend who has been in a content creator for a long time. She started out reporting in Illinois before moving to LA where she hosted for AfterBuzz TV—which is how I got to know her. From there she's hosted for E! News Now, ABC.com red carpets, FOX, Yahoo!. In 2015, she got the chance to host Miss USA, which was a full circle moment given that she'd competed as Miss Wisconsin years prior. But she wanted to shift her focus and started utilizing her hosting skills within the entrepreneur and business space. That's how she created her personal brand Empowerista, which also lead to a host position on Business Rockstars. In this episode, Alex is gracious enough to share the tactics she's learned and applied as well as highlighting some of the tough decisions she's needed to make. We talk about the need for women to have a strong role model in their life, something that Alex was lucky to have thanks to her mom. And we discuss patience and what it means to have control especially in the context of Covid-19 and quarantine. Of course, we go in depth about how to be confident on camera and so much more! Alex is a wealth of knowledge and I had a blast chatting with her because I learned so much. I know you will too. So tune in and hear what she has to say. And for more info, be sure to check out her book Confidently On Camera which is available to order at http://confidentlyoncamera.com. Please be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have, or just write how awesome Alex is since it's true but can never be understated. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you!

Gratitude is being thankful for your blessings, not pretending that your struggles don’t exist. Yet too many of us negate our suffering as if it doesn't exist because who are we to suffer where people in the world have it far worse than us? Or perhaps you go the opposite way (unknowingly) and think people aren't taking your pain seriously and that their hurt isn't on the same level as yours. This is comparative suffering and it serves no one! This is what I explore in this episode and so I hope you join me and take away something powerful from this. Tune in and hear the full lesson and the various examples and explanations I give and see how you too can apply it in your life. Afterwards, comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have. Hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek if it's easier. I'd love to hear from you.

Tim Ferriss often asks himself, "How am I complicit in creating the conditions for my life that I don't want." This is a powerful question because as much as we'd all like to put the blame on someone else, it's just not true. It's a question of setting boundaries for ourselves. We allow things to happen to us that affect the quality of our lives. We have to accept this. Good news though is, once you realize what you've been complicit in, you can also address it. That's the part I find too many people unwilling to do. But if you truly want a better life and to stop complaining, it's necessary. Join me for this episode as I dive into these notions and provide some examples. Afterwards, comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have.

There's a lot of undue pressure from various people on social media that claim if you don't come out of quarantine with a new business, skill, etc then you didn't lack time. This is false in my eyes. We all progress through life at a different pace. We're all in different phases of life as well. Who is anyone to define what you need to have accomplished during quarantine. Quarantine is not this made up race that if you don't achieve X, Y and Z then you're a failure. NO! Define your goals for yourself. What makes sense to you? These are the notions I explore in this episode and I hope you'll join me and that they serve you well. Please be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have and offer up any other methods you have tried in preventing quarantine burnout. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you!
Many successful people we look up to have countless projects, business, etc going on. But should you? I feel like we're constantly pressured to have more irons in the fire but the answer whether this is correct is a little bit more nuanced than yes or no. It depends on what stage of your creative journey you're at. Join me for this episode as I explore this topic, provide examples and really break it down in ways that will help you. (FYI, a lot of it deals with how far on the spectrum you are of being a business owner vs business operator). Afterwards, comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have.

As much as I'd love to be able to just tune everything out and be creative, right now it's increasingly hard to do that. In this episode of my vlog I talk about how the "Plandemic" conspiracy theory affected me personally as well as politics in general. I talk about how Jay Shetty's 5 stages of coping helped me with these (https://jayshetty.me/5-stages-of-coping-with-change-you-cant-rush-creating-opportunity-in-adversity/). I also highlight how biking and napping have really helped me through these times. Plus, sometimes, doing the bare minimum is enough. I open up about how I don't think there's any good books on health care, specifically insurance (which BTW if you know of any, please hit me up). Through all this though, I found the ability to be creative. Not by my normal standards, but at least I kept pushing the rock up the hill, so to speak. If you have any questions, thoughts, etc don't hesitate to write or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Stay safe!
On a recent podcast episode of "The goop Podcast", Craig Malkin talked about how kids learn to perform in order to survive, rather than be a person (https://goop.com/the-goop-podcast/healthy-narcissism-with-craig-malkin/). When I heard this it really got me thinking how we're not machines, we're not meant to just perform. We're humans. And especially as creatives, we have very lofty goals. That's not a bad thing but we must learn to go about them in a healthy manner. That's my aim with this episode—to explore and question some of the notions we've all probably grown up with. Do I have all the answers? No! But I want to get a discussion going and for us to think about this topic. Dive into this these notions and questions with me as I offer my two cents on the matter at hand.

For my money's worth, you're always going to need an element of luck. You can't account for how and when it happens, but you can actually increase the surface area with which luck with stick to you. There's plenty of anecdotal evidence. And while I can't back these ideas with science per se, it does harken back to the notion of the "law of attraction". Tune in and hear the full lesson and the various examples and explanations I give and see how you too can apply it in your life to get more luck and therefore success.

Throughout history, there's been the troupe of an asshole boss or leader. Why is that? Simply put, because it works. But is that the best method? No, there's a better way to achieve the same thing and it's called Radical Candor, termed by Kim Scott (https://www.radicalcandor.com/). In this episode, I explain the four quadrants of her principle: ruinous empathy, manipulative insecurity, obnoxious aggression and radical candor (diagram). I highlight Bob Iger (former Disney CEO) as an example of someone who uses radical candor. I also explore why radical candor does work, through the ideas of Simon Sinek. Now, this concept isn't just beneficial for business. It truly increases the effectiveness of any communication and strengthens all relationships (friends, family, coworkers, etc).

During quarantine, I've watched several documentaries and one of the recent ones has been Netflix's Explained. In particular, there's one episode about how coding shapes our world (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11167964/). That video really got me thinking and I share those various thoughts in this episode. I've always understood Marshall McLuhan's idea of "the medium is the message" and yet never fully thought to apply it to software. Only hardware. Insane, because so much of our lives are run via software. Now, I don't think it's all doom and gloom, but we must pause and consider these things because of their importance. That's my aim with this. Dive into this these notions and questions with me as I offer my two cents on the matter at hand.

Even though states are opening up, it'll be a while before we're back to "normal". As such, I wanted to offer some tips to prevent burnout that I have been utilizing. They are small, practical tips. But despite however simple they may seem, their effects can be tremendous if you truly apply them. And I hope you do. Please be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have and offer up any other methods you have tried in preventing quarantine burnout. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

We all want to be more productive, right? As part of that goal, we must learn to maximize our time. Too many of us default to scheduling meetings in chunks of 15 minute or even 30 minute increments. Why? Those aren't always necessary. You could do with a 7 minute meeting instead. We have to let go of our limiting beliefs and see what's possible. That will increase your productivity. This tip comes from Gary Vee BTW. But, I do expand on it and explain why it works and also how to make meetings even more effective, but introducing buffer time. Tune in and hear the full lesson.

Some states in the US are opening up and that can create some mixed feelings. Certainly does for me, which is how I open up this edition of my vlog. I also talk about how my friends are spending their quarantine productively but wonder if it comes at a cost. I then shift gears to talk about my creative projects, including sound design for my film, starting a script and how writing my latest nonfiction book has been a fun trip down memory lane. I also talk about what the Cannes Film Festival selection committee sent me and how I chose to respond. Plus, I give a tip I used to reconnect with people I haven't talk to in a while. For all the various lessons I'm learning and applying, check out the full episode. If you have any questions, thoughts, etc don't hesitate to write or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Whether we admit it or not, we all have faith. It might not be religious faith, but nonetheless we have faith. Hope is a form of worship as is worrying. Hope is wishful thinking of a positive outcome. Worrying is you praying for something you don't want to have happen. You must stop doing this. It puts you in the passenger seat of life. It expends so much of your mental and physical energy. These are the notions I go in depth during this episode. Check it out. Comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have.

I heard a phrase a while back that says "never let someone else's negligence become your emergency". When I heard that, it was so empowering. Admittedly, I did allow other people's negligence to become my emergencies—having to fix things last minute. But it's not healthy. You need to put up boundaries and not allow it. It's easy to slip into this habit given we all have smart phones and in theory we are accessible 24/7. But you're a human. You have to unplug. You can't constantly be on. In this episode I explore these ideas in detail. Comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have. Hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek if it's easier. I'd love to hear from you.

It's certainly a strange and scary time right now. But, if you are blessed to be okay, there is opportunity as well. As an artist, you can apply your creativity in this time and put yourself out there on social media for people to see. Let them discover your talents. If you're an actor, post monologues. If you're a musician, do live at home concerts or post cover songs. As a filmmaker, make funny shorts or skits. As a comedian, post jokes. If you're a host, make believe you're hosting something. Make it fun. Make it silly. But stay creatively engaged and let the world know of your talents because once this is all over, who knows what you might be hired for because of this.

Any artist should seek feedback from their peers. But many people aren't really seeking constructive criticism, but rather affirmation. That is a waste of your time and theirs. Plus it ultimately hurts the project. These are the notions I go into depth on with this episode, utilizing insights from Billions writer Brian Koppelman (https://tim.blog/2020/04/23/brian-koppelman/) and my own experiences.

I know a lot of people in their 20s who are anxious AF, leading to a quarter life crisis. This is because they feel like they haven't found their purpose, their calling... And unfortunately all we as the older generations can offer is "deal with it" or "I had it tough too but I got through it". That's not good enough. First off, your 20s aren't really about knowing what you fully want. It's a discover phase of your life. It certainly was for author Robert Greene. It's only with the advantage of hindsight that it becomes clear how the experiences in your 20s lead you to the path you're meant to be one. Enjoy the ride. It's okay to go from one thing to another. In fact, David Epstein showcases how that's an advantage in his book called Range. But this is not talked about enough and I really want that to stop. Join me on this episode for more details.

I think it's becoming increasing more and more easy to say whatever you want without any filter. And by filter, I mean critical thinking. The reason this is important is because while you may be trying to say something helpful or positive, it can come off confusing, wrong or worse. That's why in this episode, I offer one way to hone your critical thinking skills. And that's through the writing process. I don't care if it's journaling, blogging, etc. When you engage in the writing process (which includes rereading your work and editing, then you will start to see the shortcomings in your initial thinking and allow you to fix it. This starts to engrain itself into your mental process aka thinking, thus making you a better speaker, creative idea generator, etc. Check out the episode for all the details.

With this edition of my vlog, I highlight how I'm spending my quarantine. I discuss some ways to pass the time with friends via the Houseparty app. Then, I give some recommendations of TV series I'm watching and why I'm watching them. Afterwards, I discuss my actual creative projects and how even in the midst of uncertainty, there's ways to have some control but you have to know what that is.

Side hustles are hard enough. But it's even harder when your "work-work" perceives it as a hinderance to your job. Don't let that happen. In this episode, I discuss the importance of recognizing that your paying job, the job that supports you financially, is your foundation. You can't let that slip. And even though it may not be what you ultimately want, don't just waste time. Use your job to your advantage. There's always something to be learned and then truly on the side, not at work, work on your side hustle. And make sure to make it clear that your side hustle doesn't impede your work.

Author Gretchen Rubin (The Happiness Project, Better Than Before) discovered that it's much easier to change our habits during times of transition. Certainly quarantine during this Coronavirus pandemic constitutes as a transitional period for us all. While not ideal, we can take advantage of this time and make it "alive time" (as Robert Green would term it). I go over this notion and share my experience in this episode in hopes of inspiring you to make one small step towards a better version of you (better being whatever you define it to be). For more information about this notion, check out Gretchen's blog: https://gretchenrubin.com/2014/09/habit-change-is-easiest-when-people-move-house-or-undergo-some-life-transition/.

Huge news from Google recently. One, the Google Podcast app got a redesign (https://www.slashgear.com/google-podcasts-for-ios-release-reveals-big-new-redesign-25614312/). Two, the app is available on iOS devices (https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/25/google-podcasts-is-finally-available-on-ios/). One of these I'm happy about, the other not so much.

With this episode, I offer up some free entertainment options. Perhaps you're stuck at home and can't afford the various streaming platforms. Great news! There's a free streaming platform called Kanopy (https://www.kanopy.com/) and all you need to sign up is a library card. It doesn't have every movie or TV show but you'll be pleasantly surprised by the selection. I've used it and love it. Now, you might also be wanting to do an online viewing party, especially while we're all in this Coronavirus quarantine. To do so, I have two great options. One is the browser extension Netflix Party (https://www.netflixparty.com/) which allows you to sync up with your friends to watch Netflix content. Only downside is everyone must have Netflix and it's limited to Netflix. That's where Kast comes in for me (https://www.kastapp.co/). It allows one person to essentially screen share whatever the group wants to watch. Comment down below with any questions you may have or suggestions of your own.

Don Miguel Ruiz wrote a book called The Four Agreements based on the Toltec wisdom. The agreements are principles to live life by. One of the ones I return to often is "always do your best". Now this does not mean you have to be a machine. When you truly understand this idea and adopt it as part of your everyday life, it's alters you incredibly because it liberates you. I explore this notion in depth in this episode. Join me on this exploration and afterwards, please be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have.

Too often I hear people complain about successful people citing that they had X, Y and Z advantage. So what? Just because someone else has certain advantages doesn't put you into a disadvantage. We have to stop with comparisons because it blinds us to be able to see what our unique advantages are. That's the lesson/notion I go into depth today in this episode.

In this episode of my vlog, I catch you up on my past week. I talk about the importance of patience and knowing that not every week you're going to have a tangible outcome especially when you're working on something creative of true value. Also, I give insight into how I'm cutting together my trailer for Idyll (my film). Then I discuss a new strategy I'm employing in writing my next book. Lastly, I offer a tactic I use when working on new projects, which in this case is a new script. For all the various lessons I'm learning and applying, check out the full episode.

Tim Ferriss (@TimFerriss) introduced me to the 21-day no-complaints challenge and I am going to take it. And I encourage you to try it as well. Complaints are a form of negativity that drag you down rather than fix anything. In this episode I go over my thoughts heading into the challenge, since I don't think it'll be a piece of cake. I overview how little thoughts we have add up to a lot. But I'm up for the challenge and I hope you are too! Let's keep hope alive and spread goodness with this.

There's a lot of debate I see on social media about being productive during Covid-19. Many argue that if you don't use this time well, then you never lacked time to begin with. Others argue it's enough to survive. I take a more nuanced stance, which I discuss in this episode. It is my belief that you must define productivity, as with most things, for yourself. Who says you doing deep spiritual work isn't the most productive thing you can do right now? It's a not all about the hustle culture. But if that is your jam, power to you. Just let it be on your own terms. FYI, here's a link to what GirlBoss' CEO @SophiaAmoruso shared about this topic: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-8WZdunZ7X/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet.

I was having a conversation with my friend @JamesLottJr who is a super organizer and he told me about his clients feeling anxious. And it made me realize, they probably feel anxious because they are quarantined with all their "shit" staring at them. Their things represent their past thoughts and experiences that they want to avoid. But now they can't. So, as we head into spring cleaning mode, it's imperative more than ever to declutter your house/apartment. With this episode, I dive in more deeply into these thoughts.

Never in my life has there been a moment where everyone was focusing primarily on one thing especially not for such an extended period. But the coronavirus has forced that on us. In this episode, I want to offer some thoughts I've been thinking recently while things unfold. They do tread the line of being political, but mostly I'm asking questions to spark healthy discussion. But I understand not everyone will consider my thoughts in that light, which is okay. Still, I pose these things to you. I talk about why I think the Chinese numbers are irrelevant, why it's not health vs economy, what we should be thinking and so on.

@KatherineSchwarzenegger came out with a book called "The Gift of Forgiveness", which she talked about on @LewisHowes School of Greatness (https://youtu.be/sjMx4cryAco).

There's been times in my life, especially right now during this pandemic, where I contemplate what's fair and what's not fair. But thanks to a recent Tim Ferriss episode (https://tim.blog/2020/04/09/ryan-holiday-stoicism/) I realized that thinking in those binary terms is very debilitating because it puts you in the passenger seat of life. You have more control than you think and once you stop debating what's just and unjust, you can begin to focus your energy towards that. In this episode, I expand upon this and give personal examples in my life. I also use this as a call to action for all of us to highlight the good and kind things people are doing because too often I find we use our megaphones for criticism rather than spreading the good news. Let's stop and keep hope alive with stories of goodness. As such, please comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Ryan Holiday (https://ryanholiday.net/) has this notion that an empty calendar is a sign of success because it means you're living life on your own terms. I agree with him. Too often we think success means we're busy from morning until night. All it means is we're dictated by other people on how to spend our time. Now, this doesn't mean you're lazy or shouldn't do anything. The goal is freedom to do the things that matter to you.

There's two spectrums when it comes to your emotions—letting them run amok and suppressing them. Neither is good. You want to acknowledge your emotions, process them but be in control.

Many people are scared of failure even though history has proven time and time again from the greats, that failure is a necessary component to success. Why is this? I argue it's because we associate failure with defeat. But the two are NOT the same. Learn the different and set yourself free from fear!

Rob Dial (The Mindset Mentor) has this notion that no one has ever died from just one hamburger—the death is the culmination of tiny choices/decisions added up over time. We tend to forget this notion in all facets of life, including our creative pursuits. In this lesson, I explore that notion in several ways, drawing from Tony Robbins, Steven Pressfield and others. Join me on this exploration and afterwards, please be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you!
As humans, we have a propinquity towards negativity. It's called a negativity bias.

Alibaba is a great resource for businesses as well as individuals. For example, I know youth soccer coaches who use it to buy uniforms for their teams and get them cheaply.

Maybe you've been putting off something for a long time. Now might be the best time to start. But how do you do that? Start with the first proverbial step. Inertia builds inertia.

Simon Sinek says that we should focus on the destination and not the path (https://simonsinek.com/discover/together-is-better/). This notion can actually gain you the confidence you're missing in life. Too many of us make 5 year, 10 year, etc plans. Life doesn't work according to our plan, as the coronavirus crisis has clearly shown us. But, if you focus your destination, your goal, your ambition, then you will get there and the path is irrelevant. Plus you'll gain skills along the way you didn't know you needed. It's really remarked what this small mindset shift can do for you. Join me as I explore these notions further and afterwards, please be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have.

By no means am I financial expert. But I have read and listened to the very best, which includes people like Ray Dalio, Warren Buffett, Tony Robbins, Sallie Krawcheck, Mellody Hobson, Broke Millennial and others. This video is a quick summation of the core tips I've learned when it comes to finances which I share with you in this time of crisis so that you don't panic. Too many people lose money because they panic. There is a way out of this. History has proven this. You too can get out of this and in fact thrive. To do that, DO NOT SELL YOUR STOCKS. Secondly, don't invest in individual stocks to begin with. That's called timing the market and it doesn't work. Invest in index funds instead. Furthermore, always minimize your risk. Too many people talk about high risk, high reward. It's BS. You want low risk, high reward—always starting with protecting your risk. Vanguard is a great resource to invest in index funds. And I recommend utilizing Ray Dalio's All Seasons Portfolio: https://medium.com/understanding-money/the-all-weather-portfolio-2fe8694d4e7b.

It can be rather appealing to stay up all night and watch movies while we're in this coronavirus quarantine. But it does you a huge disservice. Sleep is ultra important—just turn to science. But equally as important is your sleep pattern. Right now the world may seem like chaos and in order for you to stay grounded, you need to maintain your routines as much as possible. That starts with sleep. Make sure you prioritize sleep, especially because sleep is a big factor when it comes to the vitality of your immune system.

Panic set in at the start of the pandemic because people were worried they wouldn't be able to get the food they needed. Obviously that's not the case, but to further alleviate that worry, I strongly recommend trying your hand at urban sustainable living. It's a fancy term for growing your own food, even if you live in the city in an apartment. I mean it. If you really do it right, you could grow 50% of your own food even in a small space, utilizing pots and such. I learned various techniques from my mentor Garden Girl (https://www.youtube.com/user/GardenGirltv). Feel free to check out her free YouTube channel with hundreds of videos. Or do a Google search as well. My friend James Lott Jr (https://www.instagram.com/jameslottjr/?hl=en) also has some great videos of his gardens. But I promise you it's actually very doable and teaches you patience in addition to providing healthy vegetables for you.

These uncertain times force us to confront what we actually have control over and what we don't. It can be extremely scary to realize that we don't have as much control as we once thought. But that's okay because if we stop and consider what we do have control over, we can create stillness in our lives and actually make a big impact.

Within the creative space, most of us have to put together a demo reel of our work. Having done demo reels (as well as sizzle reel) for the past 10 years, I've learned that you always need to download/pull/grab WAY more footage than you think you'll ever need. And so it is my suggestion to to this work upfront, rather than the editing phase. During the editing phase you want to be working at the speed of thought and that doesn't happen when you have to start and stop to grab more footage. In a sense, it's a matter of batching the work into various stages. Please comment down below with any questions or thoughts that you may have. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Spotify just rolled out their app's new redesign in an effort to make it easier to find favorites. PLUS, the goal is to make podcasts more front and center, therefore discoverable (https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/9/21171474/spotify-homepage-redesign-ios-app-mobile-tablet). Is this actually the case? If so, how does this affect the podcast industry as a whole? Join me as I speculate on the larger context of this news.

Have you ever been asked to attend a meeting and when you showed up you have no idea why you're there or what the meeting is all about? Chances are you have because it's a growing problem in business. And trust me, I've experienced it hundreds of times which is why I made this episode: because I'm sick of it and want to do anything I can to change it. Per usual, the first step to change is an understanding of the problem and why it's happening. With this lesson, I highlight the top-line ways to make the most out of meetings. If you have any other suggestions, by all means comment or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. Or, if you have questions, ask away! Let's all do whatever we can to eliminate needless meetings so we only have to attend the ones that are productive and required.

Recently I heard a wonderful notion that what you believe others are capable of is actually a reflection of what you believe you're capable of. So, if you don't think people can change it's because YOU believe you can't change. Once you recognize this noble truth, you can start to elevate yourself AND others around you. Call it hope but it does work. Recognizing this and embracing it allows you to be happy in life, which brings up a great tangent. I know from my experience that whenever I see people who are joyful I say to myself it's because their life is easy. Not the case! That is a limiting belief and a reflection of myself in that worldview. Nay! Everyone's life is hard, it's just a matter of the choice you make. Will you be miserable or will you find joy? Join me as I explore these notions further and afterwards, please be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you!
Bob Iger recently stepped down as the CEO of The Walt Disney Company (https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/25/media/bob-iger-bob-chapek-disney-ceo/index.html), but he will remain as the executive chairman of the company until the end of 2021. As such, there's speculation as to what his focus will be on since he's said he will prioritize the creative side. Hollywood Reporter came out with an article speculating that he will give all his attention to fixing Disney+ (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/kim-masters-bob-igers-exit-why-did-disneys-announcement-feel-rushed-1283424). That assumes Disney+ needs fixing. Is that the case, since they have 28 million subscribers already? Join me as I highlight the article and offer my thoughts to some of the speculation.

I keep saying it, but the end is coming—I'm almost done with my first film! As such, I reflect back on the final parts, namely how temp love affects my appreciation of the final product. But I also discuss the future of how I'm going about new projects. And in between I touch upon the Coronavirus and it's effect on the Cannes Film Fest, my work, etc. Also, I talk about seeing my friend Ian Keiser's film called Saint Frances (http://saintfrances.oscilloscope.net) which lead me into a discussion on the importance of supporting indie films in theatres.

Don Miguel Ruiz Jr wrote a book called The Little Book of Wisdom in which he shares many of his father's teachings. There's a story in there that I heard recently and it resonated with me about how we allow ourselves to pay for other people's choices.

Recently, I asked myself a question: am I addicted to self help? I listen to all kinds of podcasts, read books, post tons of content on it, etc. But I'd been noticing I wasn't having the same aaa-ha moments I was before and that started making me feel down. Why was that, I asked myself? Because I expected every new thing to resonate in the same way. I was craving it. Ironically, but needing that fix, I wasn't being present and really taking in to what I was consuming. So of course I couldn't get the epiphany I was seeking. Once I noticed that about myself, I started becoming aware again and open! With this self-reflection video, I explore these ideas in detail since I know I'm not the only one to have felt this way. I hope that it helps you. By all means, feel free to ask questions whether down in the comment section of hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek.

Author Robin DiAngelo (https://robindiangelo.com/) wrote a book called "White Fragility" where she examines why white people as afraid to talk about racism. It's a very interesting perspective that I'd not considered before her because it forces society to really look into a mirror in close proximity. Sure, the KKK are racist. But at least they're easy to spot. But when you don't vote, that's a form of racism. When I first heard that, my mind was blown. Namely because how that type of racism is much more commonplace than the KKK and affects for more people. That form of racism holds the very structure of our society. But it's not society, it's really us. We need to talk about these realities in order to bring them to light. And that's what I invite you to do with me via this self reflection. Please, please, please comment down below with your opinions on this subject. It's a tricky one for sure but if we're all honest, kind, compassionate and patient, I believe we all stand to benefit. Let's use this as a means of self discovery rather than shame and hatred.

Learning expert Jim Kwik believes that if we knew how powerful our brains truly were, we’d not feed it negative thoughts because of how they take hold in our wiring. As an example of such a phenomenon, he learned to rephrase any perceived problem in life he encountered as a puzzle instead. The word problem leads us towards something we dread, are upset by, etc. But a puzzle invites us to a solution. A simple shift like this unlocks us. So, join me for this episode as I explore this notion fully. Afterwards, please be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you!
I have no idea how I haven't heard of Byron Katie's work until recently. But I have now and it's made a seismic shift in my life because of how I can question the beliefs within me. With this episode, I share what lead me down this path, which was oddly enough thanks to a podcast episode with Jada Pinkett-Smith on Jay Shetty's ON PURPOSE show. Then I discuss the profound impact Jada's insights had on me and how Byron Katie's questioning method allows me to do the deep work all of us should be doing. And the best part, it's free and simple. Simple yes, but not easy. It's call work for a reason. But when you do the work, you will be one step closer to freedom. Trust me. I'm experiencing it.

This vlog WAS supposed to be dedicated to discussing how I finalize my first feature film... BUT instead it's about how a personal matter came up last week that really affected me and I needed to deal with it. Now, if you're just reading this, I DO NOT reveal what the issue was. Sorry for those looking for gossip. Instead I talk about how it affected me and what strategies I did to resolve it. It was a nice reminder of why it's imperative to master mental fortitude.

Plenty of marketing experts, influencers, etc preach the idea that you need to be consistent with posting to your audience. I agree with this but not for the reasons you might expect.

There's a saying in Hollywood that it's all about who you know. I hate this saying because it creates a limiting belief that if you don't network, you can't make it. That's not true. The best for of networking for me is to just create good work and let word of mouth and such spread. After all, the reason you'd want to network is to be able to work with people. When people see your work and are drawn to it, they'll seek you out. This is exactly how my whole career has worked. And, the good news is, today you don't even need others. The platforms of distribution and the content creation tools themselves are so easily accessible and available to us all that it really is all about the content. So focus on that and not on "networking". Networking will come naturally.

And so it behooves us to learn how to deal with conflict, which is exactly what I present to you in this episode. SPOILER ALERT though, the best way to resolve conflict is to not let it escalate. The more clear lines of communication you have upfront, the more you can avoid things building up. But don't worry, I didn't reveal everything just here.

Heather Parady is the host of a podcast called Unconventional Leaders where she interviews people that redefine what it means to be a leader. She is a therapist who turned into an online entrepreneur with the intention of her work being to raise up the next generation leaders who go against the grain. I was first introduced to her via TikTok and knew immediately our ideas aligned and I wanted to share them with you! In this episode, I sit down over Skype with Heather and dive deep into various subjects. One of the main ones though is the notion that all content creators by default are leaders and that we need to recognize that. Please enjoy this interview and be sure to share your thoughts or ask questions—whether in the comment section or on social media to @PhilSvitek and @HeatherParady. We’d love to hear from you!

Will Abeles (@WillAbelesComedy) is a friend of mine from Emerson College. Since graduating, he has gone on to become a comedian that tours various parts of the country. The best part—he’s his own manager. He books the venues, markets his shows and even writes his own material. In this episode, he and I sit down after years of not seeing each other and catch up. But don’t worry, it’s not just us shooting the shit. There’s lots of take-aways from his journey, namely the idea of creating your own opportunities. Will did this when he recorded his first album. He did it when booking shows in cities. And he continues to do it. I learned a lot and I know you can too. Please let me know your thoughts, whether in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you!
Documentaries are a huge part of my past—both from a consumption standpoint and creation one as well. At the age of 15, I got to work on my first documentary. And from there I had the privilege of working on others, which informed my filmmaking knowledge. As a final product, documentaries are great because good or bad, you'll always learn something. This is why documentaries matter. They inform us. They preserve history. Do you watch them? Is so which ones? If not, why haven't you? Hit me up on social media and let me know (@PhilSvitek).

We have a terrible consensus in thinking that managing our calendar is proper time management. It's not. We have to account for our attention and our energy as well if we're to be truly productive. In this lesson, my comedian friend Will Abeles (@WillAbelesComedy) joins me to discuss how he views time management and how the tricks he applies to his life to become more productive. I also share mine as well. While a short episode, it's jam-packed with key insights. But feel free to ask me any questions or offer some of your thoughts.

There's such an emphasis for all of us to be so much more than ordinary and I hate this because while we're all capable of greatness, we're all ordinary people at the end of the day. We all have the same potential. Certainly Brene Brown agrees with this notion. And in this episode, my comedian friend Will Abeles (@WillAbelesComedy) and I discuss the idea the we're all ordinary and how that's a good thing. We examine this from various perspectives to highlight the many benefits from this line of thinking. Let me know if you have any questions of if you've done it, please share your experience.

I remember seeing Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and loving the line "You lost today kid. But that doesn't mean you have to like it." That's how I sum up my past week. But in order for this not to be a venting session, I've brought in a college friend of mine, Will Abeles (@WillAbelesComedy). He's a comedian and while we catch up on life, we also share insights into how to make it in the entertainment industry. Will shares his idea to move away from New York City and how he's assessing where to move. Plus so much more. So check it out. If you have any questions, thoughts, etc don't hesitate to write. Will is also joining me on a few more episodes so come back for those as well. For more of my lessons/tips/etc subscribe/follow on social media @PhilSvitek.
Jon Bon Jovi is an incredible musician, but even more amazing human being. While I love charities that help people and fight for causes, JBJ has found a way to do just that while keeping the model of it sustainable financially. Charities depend on donations. JBJ's Soul Kitchen is an actual sustainable business model that does so much good for people. Not only that, it create community by allowing everyone to feel on the same level aka actual human beings no matter their life circumstances. I'm really in awe of this and want more people to know about it because we're humans first, content creators second and the world sure could use more kindness in it. To check out JBJ Soul Kitchen, go here: https://jbjsoulkitchen.org/.

Far too often I've seen people in the entertainment industry reach a goal and then coast. They take their foot off the gas pedal thinking they've made it, only to be blindsided in due time. Don't do this. Never get complacent If your dream is to be a content creator, you must keep creating. Always have your own side projects in addition to your work. Make work your priority, always. But devote time to your projects as well. Like with investing, this is called diversifying. If you don't, you won't like the results. Trust me. I've seen it.

For a long time, I looked down at social media. I didn't think it was a valid way of distributing quality content. I admit I was wrong. It is. And then I started publishing things myself. But I only did it once a week. I wanted to do more, but it felt too much. Like somehow the quality would suffer. And while I was introduced to GaryVee a while ago, someone who advocates creating content at scale, I just didn't think I could. Then he published two how-to-guides on this very thing and my mind was unlocked. Now I batch all my content and it's simple. And you could do it too! (Here's the links to the guides: https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/the-garyvee-content-strategy-how-to-grow-and-distribute-your-brands-social-media-content/ & https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/how-to-create-64-pieces-of-content-in-a-day/).

There's a fundamental difference between a champion and a mentor? Do you know what it is? Chances are probably not. Most of us think we have mentors when in fact they are champions. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but you must be aware of there difference because there may come a time when it impacts you greatly without you even knowing it. So check out this quick lesson! Feel free to ask me any questions or offer some of your thoughts. And for more free resources from your 360 creative coach, check out my website at http://philsvitek.com.
We have a bad habit, or at least I certainly do, to not fix something if it ain’t broken. And I typically think that if I’m getting the desired results that nothing is broken. This is far from the truth because it could be sheer luck. Many successful people, like Ray Dalio, talk about the importance of making sure that the process has quality. Pep Guardiola, a world class soccer (akak football) coach (for Manchester City) is notorious for making sure his players do everything correctly even during victory. I’ve started doing this and so should you. Check out this episode as I expand on this notion. And please let me know your thoughts, whether in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you!
There comes a point in any creative journey where the project you're working on really starts to come together. It's not longer just disjointed pieces here and there but part of a larger whole. I'm experiencing that now with two of my projects and it's exciting. The first is a movie, the other my novel. I discuss how ADR made my movie truly watchable now. I also go into the myths of ADR. As far as my novel, I give some thoughts/pointers on query letters. And I even manage to talk about a setback that's happened but how my friends and I are handling it. If you have any questions, thoughts, etc don't hesitate to write. For more of my lessons/tips/etc subscribe/follow on social media @PhilSvitek.
Every movie needs ADR sessions in order to get the dialogue to sound clean. In the past, this was very expensive and laborious. Now, as a filmmaker, you can do ADR simply, cheaply and quickly. This tutorial explains how utilizing Adobe's Creative Cloud suite, Sennheiser e835 mics, an M-audio air 192 | 6 audio interface device and a pair of headphones. Oh, and of course a computer. But that's it. Really. Check it out if you don't believe me and feel free to ask me any questions or offer some of your thoughts.

Simon Sinek is an author and motivational speaker who dares to imagine a world in which the vast majority of us wake up inspired, feel safe at work and return home fulfilled at the end of the day. And to realize this vision, he has simple ideas that may seem radical to some, but really shouldn't. What's interesting about his notions is that you extract them from a business context and apply it towards building a social media following—specifically his thoughts on changing company culture via exclusivity. That might crazy but it's really not so take a listen! Feel free to ask me any questions or offer some of your thoughts.

We put a big emphasis on knowledge as a culture. Knowledge is good except is inactive. Wisdom is doing what you know and far too often we become stagnant given our pursuit of information. Gary Vee says we love consuming information but not doing the thing it teaches us. Jim Kwik says knowledge is potential power. Others agree as well. So if that's the case, how do we become better at putting all this knowledge into actual use? Or better yet, how do we know we're not over studying unnecessarily? That's where the idea of just in time knowledge comes in. See, too many of as are brain hoarders. We love just in case knowledge. Time to switch it up. So take a listen and become more productive!

For many of us, we dream of something and once we get it, we move the goal post of success. We think to ourselves "what's next?". It consumes us. Instead of doing that, keep going. Keep doing what you already are. Spend the mental energy making what you're already doing better. Because otherwise you're never present and you'll never enjoy anything. Please take a listen if this resonates with you and feel free to ask me any questions or offer some of your thoughts.

Most people aren't as productive at work because they fail to create a proper schedule. In order to utilize your time best, you have to categorize the tasks you do between manager tasks vs maker tasks. While we may predominantly be one over the other, we still cross over into the other now and then. The more aware you are and can have a calendar that reflects your individual needs, the better off you'll be. Take a listen for all the details!

Sturgeon's revelation (as expounded by Theodore Sturgeon), referred to as Sturgeon's law, is an adage cited as "ninety percent of everything is crap." This is useful to know both as a consumer and as a content creator because once you do, you can be mindful. The quality of the things you watch/read/etc can be greater as can the things you produce. Check out this lesson to learn the full details. And please let me know your thoughts, whether in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you!
I find that whenever we work hard and we find ourselves with a day off, we want to escape. However this brings about more stress in the end.

Sometimes everything happens at once and that's been the case for me lately. Granted, it's all amazing things but it definitely is a lot. I go over some of those things as well as things I've been reflecting on: such as how companies are handling firings. I also update you on my film and how I used a technique I teach in order to enhance it. I got over limiting beliefs and how sometimes you have to stay the course. Plus I talk about negative visualization as a tool for overcoming worry. For more of my lessons/tips/etc subscribe/follow on social media @PhilSvitek.
Many programs, like Avid, Adobe, etc either are or are becoming subscription based. I look at this as neutral. But what happens when software programs are subscription based is they role out lots of updates. Many of the updates they're testing and aren't fully stable yet. I experienced that with Adobe recently. So my advice to you, especially when you're in the midst of a major project is to NOT upgrade. It'll only mess up your project and cause you headaches. Update only when you know the build is stable or you can afford to experiment. Feel free to ask me any questions or offer some of your thoughts.

Tim Ferriss turned me onto the idea of professional feedback where you survey bosses, peers, subordinates, clients, etc about yourself. This way you get a 360 view of you as a professional so you can grow. It might be tough to hear some of the things people may offer, but we all need other people's input in order to recognize our blindspots. Let me know if you have any questions of if you've done it, please share your experience.

Whether you're working on a novel, polishing a script, editing a film or just your own vlog doesn't matter—always try cutting more than you're comfortable with. This is often referred to ask killing your darlings. Sometimes you might over-cut but you won't know unless you eliminate more than you're comfortable with. Often times, you find that most of the stuff you had isn't actually needed. Some might need to be put back in, but most probably not. This technique helps you to "omit needless words" in a sense and leave the strongest possible project. Try it and let me know how it works for you.

Lots of businesses use a SWOT analysis whenever they're debating the merits of an idea, partnership, deal, project, potential hire, etc. But you can utilize this method for your personal stuff too! It's real simple. SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. So get a board, and assess any venture via this process and you'll make a much more informed decision! Feel free to ask specifics if you're stuck or comment with ways you're putting this into practice.

In high school they ask us what we want to do, but they never stop to have us consider our why (our purpose/our calling). This is why people can get miserable in jobs—it’s not in balance with their why. Simon Sinek talks about this notion a lot and today I’m going to distill it for you in my own words and offer up how I’m applying this notion in my life. It’s my hope that after checking this lesson out, you’ll not only have a greater understanding of why your why matters most (as opposed to the what or how) and you’ll start to think about what your why is. Make sure to write it down as you do. Even as you work through the process of figuring it out, write everything down. Saying it to yourself in your head is not enough. You must speak it to existence. Once you have it, allow it to be your guiding light. And please share it with me and others, whether in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you!

What a week it has been! Been doing a lot of stuff for the GRAMMYs, my regular job and trying to finish up the movie. In this vlog I reflect upon all that and how sometimes one day can feel like a year or more when you're in the entertainment industry. I also give my thoughts on the passing of Kobe Bryant and the lessons it's taught me. Plus I go over what leadership means to me, the difficulties of knowing when something is okay as is in order to meet a deadline vs taking your time and my experience filming additional material for my film.

Hosting is a profession that often gets overlooked and undermined. Certainly the Oscars are evidence of this.

If anything can be art, but not everything is art, then what defines art? It's a question that Jaimi Alexander (@JaimiAlexander) and I explore in this episode. Now, you might be thinking why does this matter? Well, that's also something we touch upon because it actually matters more than you might think. We borrow Simon Sinek's definition of art (which as 3 simple requirements: https://youtu.be/aEf7BLUyd0o) and explore various art forms through that lens to see how they stack up. Try doing the same with your art because you might just end up making it better! Comment below with your thoughts on our opinions.

There's so many platforms to publish to as a content creator and the barrier to entry is literally a smartphone. This fact freezes a lot of amazing people from actually doing anything because they believe the market to be oversaturated and don't think they have a place in it. Is this thinking true? Well, that's what my friend Jaimi Alexander and I discuss in this episode. We also look at it from the consumer side especially now that we have services like Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Apple TV, Hulu, Amazon Prime and others.

Jaimi Alexander is a host who I met during my time at AfterBuzz TV/Black Hollywood Live. From first impressions, I always knew she was a hard worker and talented. Over the years we’ve gotten to know each other and our mutual respect grew. And yet as much as we shared similarities in mindset and such, we’ve never really sat down and had a long form conversation such as this one. So, I’m honored to have been able to interview her and learn more about what makes her tick, so to speak. I learned a lot and I know you will too. So enjoy my wide ranging conversation with Jaimi Alexander and let me know what you thought!

This past week, my friend Jaimi Alexander (@JaimiAlexander) and I were both tried and tested... separately. We discuss what happened and how we managed to overcome those life hurdles and still keep upbeat. FYI—recording this episode was part of being tried and tested as roofers were doing the loudest construction throughout, which I wasn't aware of until 7am the morning of when they showed up... on MLK day. Don't worry, we talk about that too. For more of Jaimi's content, check out her YT page at http://youtube.com/user/jaimialexander.

My friend Jaimi Alexander and I were recording some content and it happened to be Martin Luther King Day — so we thought why not sit down and discuss what this day means for us and where things stand today. We discuss many topics but mostly the idea of tolerance and equality. There’s many nuances but we believe it is possible to achieve if people look for the commonalities rather than differences. We also talk about the idea that sometimes you have to fight and when it’s appropriate to do so. And… so MUCH more. All within a 10 minute conversation! So check it out and please, please, PLEAZ leave a comment with your thoughts. MLK was a special person with an incredible legacy and by continuing to talk about him, we continue not only his legacy but his dream which can become our reality. (PS: Follow @JaimiAlexander on social media and check out her YT page https://www.youtube.com/user/JaimiAlexander).
Recently, a lot of people I know have suffered the loss of a family member. It’s never easy. I’ve gone through it several times and the pain is equally as hard now as it was the first time. But there’s a poem by Henry Scott-Holland that I revisit that helps me, which I now share with my friends. Perhaps it can give you the same solace as it brings me. And please feel free to share with anyone you know:
Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.
Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you,
and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just round the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
I feel like we're all told how small the world/the entertainment industry is. Over the course of my life, I've learned this to be incredibly true, which is why I appreciate that early on, my mentor Keven Undergaro taught me to be gracious in victory. We all have ups and downs. But when we're young and we get a victory, especially when it's in spite of someone else, we brag and boast. Doing this is short lived. It'll come back to haunt you. Be gracious in victory because otherwise you'll be truly humbled in defeat. We all need each other. Let me know if you agree or if you have examples from your own life.
I don't care what specific art form you're into—poetry, writing, singing, etc... you should learn to take better photos. Why? Because doing so will force you to pause and take stock of the world around you. You'll see things from a new point of view. You'll be able to describe everything better. This only helps you in any creative endeavor because all art is about understanding the world around us better and being able to discern some life lesson or universal truth from it. So whether it's through YouTube how-to videos, Instagram photos or TikTok lessons, find out tricks to take cool photos and get out there and do it! Go and do it and hit me up on social media (@PhilSvitek) with the results! Feel free to ask me any questions or offer some of your thoughts.
A lot of artists are getting into fan supported monetization—whether it's through YouTube's superchat, Patreon, Streamlabs, Paypal, etc. And this is good... to a degree. And it works for some people and not for others. What I was most curious about in all this was when someone like Tim Ferriss FAILED at launching a fan supported model. What I love about it is that he's honest and he let his fans know he failed. Plus, he published reasons why he failed (https://tim.blog/2019/07/11/why-im-stopping-the-fan-supported-podcast-experiment/). This article got me thinking of when it's right to utilize a fan supported model and when it's not.

Parkinson’s Law, not to be confused with Parkinson’s Disease, is a powerful principal when applied properly to your life.

Thanks to my friend Matt D'Andria, I had a chance to see Adam Carolla's new documentary called Shelby American, which is about the life of Carroll Shelby. FYI this doc is available on Netflix, so you can check it out there. If you've seen Ford v Ferrari then you have some context. But the doc goes well beyond just that time frame. It chronicles his childhood, racing life, car building life, home life and even his chili contest ventures. And as I watched it I learned some very important lessons. In addition to talking about Shelby, I highlight finishing an assembly cut of my movie and what the next steps are as well as how anonymity has its benefits. If there’s anything you’d like me to discuss or answer for you in the future, let me know and I’ll be glad to do so.
Here's a tip to any filmmaker out there on how to film scenes much faster—which will save you time and money while still getting you the performances you want/need.

Tim Ferriss turned me onto this idea that sometimes it is indeed the messenger and not the message. And that's a powerful thing to understand because not only does that grant you permission to "speak your truth" in hopes that someone else may need to hear it from you instead of someone else but also, it allows you to not get frustrated when people in your life that mean a lot aren't taking your advice. Just switch up the messenger! For more lessons, creative tips, etc, feel free to check out my website http://philsvitek.com or follow me on social media @PhilSvitek.
In order to be a great director, you need to be able to work with actors. The problem I see with most directors starting off is that they do give actors line readings. Don't do that. I present you a creative exercise that will get you past the idea of having actors "say their lines correctly" and instead really deliver a performance. Plus it's a fun exercise and would make an interesting short film. So go and do it and hit me up on social media (@PhilSvitek) with the results!

Everyone needs help every now and then. It’s what makes us human. But I’ve found not enough people develop the skill of asking for help. This is especially tough during the times they actually need help. In this lesson, I highlight how to go about asking for help without being selfish.

People put such an emphasis on the hustle, the grind. They look at success stories and use those to pump themselves up. That's fine except when they glamorize those people's histories and falsely believe that they can put in "the same grind"... but only for 3 months and achieve the same. It doesn't work like that. The hustle and struggle is truly real. How bad do you want it? Or do you just say you want it? It's time to decide. Stop romanticizing stories of the past... instead, learn from those strategies and move forward. Do something!

Often I get asked why I help my friends so much, especially because it takes me away from my creative projects. In this post, I discuss why I do this and it really comes down to a simple concept of eulogy vs resume values. Check it out and it might just make you rethink actions in your life moving forward.

The Matrix franchise was groundbreaking on a number of levels, but for it, one of the aspects I loved about it was that it told its story across different mediums: movies, games, short films, comics, blogs, etc. Now, this might not seem so revolutionary, but what makes it truly incredible is that EACH of these propelled the story forward and YET was a contained experience. Think about: the MCU isn't content with its comics. Not directly. And so for a while I've had this idea of telling a story across multiple platforms (from podcast, to vlogs, short films, social media, etc). How cool would that be? Well... I haven't begun to execute on this idea and I don't think I'll be able to for a while and feel free to take it and run with it! Really.

Every toutes "being authentic" but are people really as genuine as they say they are in their content? I don't think so and so with this episode, I question what it means to be truly authentic in today's culture.

The negation of the negation is a literary term but one that I see reflected in the real world far too often. With this lesson, I not only explain why this phrase means but how you might be a primary culprit of it. And if you are… YOU NEED TO STOP IMMEDIATELY. I’ll explain why. Thanks for tuning in.

The barrier to entry as a content is basically nonexistent given technology and social media. And as a content creator you NEED to understand those platforms! You must. It might feel intimidating to think that you now have to focus on writing, acting, filming, editing, publishing AND marketing… BUT if you do, you’re the one in control. No more having to rely on ANYONE else! That’s an incredible thought. However, not enough content creators are taking advantage of it. Trust me, I know from personal experience. I know from even watching my close friends. Utilize all the platforms and MAKE MORE CONTENT! Why? Because if you’re a content creator, shouldn’t you want to make more things anyway? I hope you find this useful. Feel free to ask my any questions or offer some of your thoughts. And for more free resources from your 360 creative coach, check out my website at http://philsvitek.com.

Everyone makes mistakes, even the greatest minds in the world. In this post, I showcase Bob Iger, who is Disney’s current CEO and has been for over 15 years. But before this, he ran ABC and made a decision which he regrets. He talks about it at length in his book The Ride of a Lifetime. What was this so-called “mistake” and what did he learn from it? Find out… As for why am I doing this? Is it to poke fun at him? To chop him down to size? No. My aim is for us to see that A) he’s human, just like the rest of us and therefore EACH of us is capable of greatness, B) mistakes can never define your legacy if you choose not to have them define you and C) the lessons you learn from mistakes can propel you towards that greatness you see.

I’ve been gearing up to write more in the new year and because of that, I’ve been thinking of ways to make my stories more compelling. One of the things I thought of was to figure out what the climax of my story would be—the point at which there’s the most tension. Then, take that and start writing and never look back. Sure, there’s fiction (whether books or movies) that utilize the technique of showing the climax but they then jump to sometime earlier so you can see the events leading up to it. My idea is to not do that. Go forward. The thinking is: how much more interesting can you make your story when you start with the maximum emotion. It’s a way to force yourself to make it as riveting as possible. Stephen King was a jumping off point for this idea, but so was TV writer Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul). In this post, I go further with this idea and implore you to use it as a creative exercise in your storytelling (whether novels, films, TV shows, narrative podcasts, etc). Feel free to ask me any questions or offer some of your thoughts. And for more free resources from your 360 creative coach, check out my website at http://philsvitek.com.

There's a quote from counselor Craig D. Lounsbrough that goes: "Whatever stands in front of you was only allowed to be put there because inherent within you there lays the ability to climb it. Therefore, the real difficulty of an ascent such as this is not the nature of the mountain that stands in front of us, but the nature of the attitude that lays within us.” In this podcast, I dissect what that means to me and how you can apply it to your life. Hit me up on social @philsvitek with your thoughts or questions. For more lessons, visit my website: http://philsvitek.com.
Many people, including myself at times, feel behind in their careers. We feel like we’ve wasted time and energy doing jobs that didn’t serve us. Nothing could be further from the truth. The age old story is that you need to be a specialist—like Tiger Woods or Mozart—to find success. That’s actually not the case as ESPN Senior Writer David Epstein proves in his book Range: Why Generalist Triumph in a Specialized World. We can take the lessons learned from any experience and utilize it in our new one. Often times, the job we want may not even exist. Certainly podcasting as a career didn’t exist when I was in college. It does now. We need to be in search of our match fit. But too many people are having quarter life crisis because they haven’t discovered their purpose. Stop! Follow your passions and let that guide you. Purpose will reveal itself in due time. And if your passions change, that’s okay. Gary Vaynerchuck thinks so and I agree with him. So dive into this lesson with me and stop worrying that you’re behind. I’ll go over all these ideas and hopefully create stillness in your life so you can go after your dreams. After listening, try it out and please be sure to leave a comment with any thoughts or questions. Thanks for tuning in.

Many creatives don’t pursue their creative ambitions because they don’t believe they have the right resources. The philosophy of essentialism, when practiced, can help to free the artistic soul by helping you realize that you might have everything you need. Rather than see your limitations as a negative, use them to your advantage. No one exemplified this better than filmmaker Robert Rodriguez when he made his first feature film, “El Mariachi.” But he’s not the only one who’s used a lack of money and resources to force himself to get more creative. So join me in this lesson and find out how you can apply essentialist thinking to your life and find yourself accomplishing your dreams.

Fern Ronay is a dear friend of a number of years and in this episode, I get to sit down with her and interview her about her book writing journey. We discuss her original career path of being a lawyer and how that shaped her. She talks about her creative desire and the practical ways she went about scratching that itch. Through her journey, we uncover the process of what it takes to become a published author, but really, the core of the lessons apply to any creative who dreams of putting out a work of art into the world. It’s a wide ranging and deep conversation which I thoroughly enjoy and I’m sure you will too.

An artist’s life can be extremely volatile, with many highs and lows — it takes more than just industry skills and knowledge to make it. To be successful, you need to have the right mental fortitude to reach your dreams. That’s why in 2018, I launched a podcast series where I share the lessons I learned from my own experiences as well as the ones I’ve been blessed enough to learn from other successful people within the entertainment industry. You can check out all those lessons at http://philsvitek.com. But, I’m so adamant about this notion of “mastering mental fortitude” that I wanted to go even further and offer more to any creative out there. This has lead me to create a coursebook called Master Mental Fortitude: A Guide to Achieving Your Creative Ambitions, which not only jam packs in 35 valuable lessons, but it also provides practical takeaways and exercises to put each lesson to use in your own life. It is geared towards any creative — it doesn’t matter whether you are a: Writer, Actor, Director, Artist, Musician, Producer, Host or Podcaster — each lesson has something for you!
You can either purchase the coursebook digitally ($25) or in physical form ($79) at http://mastermentalfortitude.com.
PS: You might have noticed that in cover of the cover image, it says “volume 1” — and as you might have guessed, it’s because I plan to turn Master Mental Fortitude into a series. As of now, the goal is to release a new volume each year. (So expect volume 2 sometime in 2020). Until then though, feel free to browse through my website for tons of free lessons and resources. I’m constantly adding new ones so even if you’ve checked out most of them, chances are there’s new ones you haven’t yet looked at. And, if you’re ready to take your creative passions to the next level and have specific questions you need answered, we can always setup a coaching session.
Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl experience’s mankind’s worse. And yet he found meaning from that experience and developed a school of psychology called logotherapy, which he chronicles in his book Man’s Search for Meaning. In this episode, I explain what logotherapy is and more importantly the ways in which it can enhance your art because when you really stop and consider the core of logotherapy, it will give deeper meaning to your work and therefore connect more widely within the world. After you’re done with this lessons, comment down below with your thoughts or questions. Thanks for tuning in.

I’m not one for dichotomies, but recently I heard a great talk by Erwin McManus on the power of encouragement vs discouragement and it resonated with me because it echoed the sentiments of my 2019 New Year’s Resolution, which was to support my friends more. I dive deeper into the importance of uplifting those around you while still being honest in giving your opinion—just not doing so under the guise of “tough love”.

As a culture, especially in America, we like to rank things. There’s top 10 lists of all sorts, competitions to determine who’s the best in a given category and even outside of these so-called competitions, people and companies claim to be “the best” or “number one.” Here’s a question for you? How can there be millions of “the world’s best pizza” pizzarias? There can’t. Deep down, I think we all understand that it’s a marketing ploy by all those restaurants. But then, how do you know if someone is number one? More importantly, does it even matter? I say not as I borrow ideas and principles laid out by Simon Sinek from The Infinite Game. After you’re done with this lessons, comment down below with activities you’d categories as finite games and then do the same with infinite games. Thanks for tuning in.

You might be familiar with the acronym A.B.C. which was popularized in the 1992 film Glengarry Glen Ross, starring Alec Baldwin. It means “always be closing”. But since you and I are content creators, I want to repurpose the acronym into something different, which is “always be creating”. That’s right. “Always be creating.” In this episode I explore the deeper meaning of what I mean when I use that simple phrase using three levels. If you can apply all three in your life, you’ll be all the more happier and productive because of it. Once you’ve heard the episode, I’d love to know how you’ll apply A.B.C. into your life. So comment down below! Thanks for tuning in.

A school of thought exists that believes in order for your art to be pure and transcendent, you must do it for the love of the craft, not the money. If you do things because of money, you’re a sell-out. The idea of money poisoning the creative well is fascinating to me in today’s landscape, namely because of Hollywood’s attitude towards China. Many companies pander to Chinese censorship in order for their movies or TV shows to be played there. Doing so means money. And a lot of it. Many times, the Chinese box office defines whether a film is profitable or not. When you’re spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a creative project, that’s pressure for sure. So you can understand why people succumb to those demands. And so in this episode, I want to explore the question of whether or not you can be a content creator and a capitalist without selling out? Thanks for tuning in.

There’s a myth that’s perpetuated among artists, which I’ve bought into myself earlier in life, that says in order to be a successful artist, you have to be miserable. Some people term it as you have to suffer for your art. By the mere fact I’ve called it a myth, should tell you that I don’t agree with this notion. But more importantly than that, how does one become successful and maintain happiness? That’s the question I explore in this lesson. After hearing my thoughts, please comment below and let me know if you agree or disagree with everything I’ve presented. Thanks for tuning in.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed that whenever someone finishes a creative project and they’re being interviewed about it, that person always gets asked the cliche question of: where did you get your inspiration? And most times the creator doesn’t offer up too much of an answer. Or at least an answer than you can replicate. For example if I tell you that the inspiration for my first fiction book came from my childhood spent in Slovakia then it’s not something you can suddenly go and do, right? Which begs the question, how can you find inspiration for your creative work? Well, that’s exactly what this lesson tackles! And I pull references and inspiration from people such as Steven Pressfield, Neil Gaiman, Stephen King and the book called YouTube Secrets. After watching, if there’s anything other techniques you use, please let me know. I’d love to read them. Thanks for tuning in.

Ken Napzok is a friend of mine who I’ve known for 6, almost 7 years. He’s been a producer for many digital juggernauts over the better part of the last decade, including Schmoes Know, Popcorn Talk, Screen Junkies, Collider, etc. In addition to having worked with those brands, Ken has also appeared in front of the camera many times, whether it be hosting his own The Ken Napzok Files podcast, talking about Star Wars or doing stand-up. In this special interview, I get to catch up with Ken and ask him questions on topics he normally doesn’t talk about often. One thing rings true, Ken has developed a good foundation in order to walk the fine line of laziness and self-criticism in order to find joy in the work he does. Because of it, he’s returned to creative passions that he previously had put a pause on. I learned a lot from Ken in our wide ranging conversation and so I know you will too! Thank you for tuning in and comment with any thoughts please!

Every story you’ve ever consumed, no matter the medium, deduces life into a series of moments to convey its message and theme. As story consultant Robert McKee says, “Whereas life separates meaning from emotion, art unites them. Story is an instrument by which you create such epiphanies at will, the phenomenon known as aesthetic emotion...Life on its own, without art to shape it, leaves you in confusion and chaos, but aesthetic emotion harmonizes what you know with what you feel to give you a heightened awareness and a sureness of your place in reality.” I don’t know about you but the quote is inspiring and frightening all at the same time. It’s inspiring because every story creates a blueprint of how to live life. It’s frightening because there’s a whole lot of parts missing. The plotting of a story very much involves which aspects of the characters’ lives to show and which to omit. That leaves a hell of a lot on the proverbial cutting room floor. I know this from my own experience in writing film scripts and a novel. Every scene in a story must move the plot forward. If it does not, it gets eliminated. Unfortunately in life, we can’t do the same. We can’t skip parts of life that are boring. And neither can we rewind and simply re-live the sections that we found exciting. And yet some people do try to live in the past, a star high school athlete who’s entering a mid-life crisis because he no longer has the same fame from before. And lastly, we also can’t speed up certain hard events via montages. We have to live life in real time. You might think, “well, no kidding.” And you’re not wrong. But I find that most people today, including myself, have an ever increasing need for instant gratification. That presents a major problem because it means we require a constant heightened sense of emotion, even though that’s not good for us. We need the quiet just as much as the loud and exciting. And if you don’t learn to live in the quieter moments of life, you’re doomed. This lesson aims to give you such tools. Thank you for tuning in and comment with your thoughts please!

Strange as it may seem, I’ve always been fascinated by death. For one, I used to work at the first hospice in America for four years, starting when I was 15 years old. For another, because I’ve suffered major losses in my life and you can’t help but reflect upon it. We look at death as the final act, at least in the physical plain. And whenever we talk about someone’s life, we inevitably bring up their age. It’s a very easily measurable aspect of a person’s life. How long they lived. But what about a person’s width of life? What is that and how do we measure it? I have a theory based on studying a tea bag. Sounds crazy, I know, but I promise there’s merit to it and can impact your life. Thank you for tuning in and comment with your thoughts please! PS: I’d like to dedicate this episode to my grandmother who recently passed away.

In this episode, I read a truncated version of a speech that author David Foster Wallace gave in 2005 called “This is Water”. It is considered by many as one of the most impactful speeches in the last century. It certainly had a profound effect on me. I revisit this speech multiple times a year and I hope you gain the same wisdom from it as I have. After listening to it, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

In this lesson, I wanted to read a Charles Bukowski poem that I often revisit. It’s had a lot of impact on my and whenever I read it to someone else, it has the same level of significance, although perhaps in different ways. The poem is extremely short, but there’s power in its brevity. After listening to it, I’d love to know what you thought of it. To review in text form, the poem goes:
there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and most often
when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than
too late.

Ever feel like right when you start to get a grip on things life decides to throw a curveball your way? And let’s be honest, it’s never just one curveball. There’s an old expression that when it rains it pours. Sure can feel like that where you experience hurdle after hurdle and no matter what you do. Bad events stick to you like glue. So what’s the solution? How do you prevent this from happening to you? Well, that’s exactly what I (Phil Svitek) explore in this lesson along with the help of some Rocky Balboa and Gandhi quotes. I explore how to handle life’s adversities! Thank you for tuning in and comment with your thoughts please!

Do you know what causality is? It’s the principle where everything that happens is because of a certain cause. Sometimes it’s referred to as the cause and effect theory. As a society, many of us have adopted this line of thinking because it seems logical. It gives us a sense of understanding. But what if cause and effect was bullshit? What then? What you have to understand first and foremost is that many of us, including me, have limited our thinking severely. Why? Well, because we’ve bought into the stories of our ancestors, our parents and society. Here’s a lie you’ve probably bought into: past experience can predict the future. No it can’t. Another lie is we’re not perfect. Who says we’re not? I’m perfect just the way I am and so are you. (We can choose to better ourselves, but that doesn’t mean we’re imperfect. That’s just part of the human journey.) Causality is also false. We actually have the ability to alter our realities just by thinking about it. How the hell does that happen? Through practiced techniques, we can essentially rewire ourselves and therefore affect our surroundings. Sounds woo-woo doesn’t it? But it doesn’t have to be if you open yourself up to it. The wonderful thing about this lesson is you’ll discover that you can become the “storyteller”, as Don Miguel Ruiz puts it, of your own life. I (Phil Svitek) use the teachings of quantum physics and specifically Joe Dispenza to show you all this. After you’re done with the lesson, please write down 10 things you’re grateful for in your life. Trust me, it’ll make sense after you’ve gone through the lesson. Thank you for tuning in!

This lesson is geared to make you comfortable with uncomfortability. You might be asking yourself, why would I (Phil Svitek) ever want you to feel uncomfortable? Why can’t I just teach you ways to avoid pain and discomfort? Truth is, life doesn’t work like that and if you go about avoiding suffering, you’ll eventually be doomed because when inevitable circumstances strike, they may end up crippling you. But if you practice becoming comfortable with uncomfortability, you’ll develop proper tools and techniques to use in those instances and not be thwarted by them. And the beauty is you can apply this thinking towards your dreams. Think of what you really want. Now think of the aspects of that dream that make it seem difficult. What are they? The wonderful thing about this lesson is you’ll discover that your desire for your dreams is greater than you fear of discomfort. Your desire is dynamic and creates action, building momentum over time. That’s what the exercises I teach you are designed to do—to create that initial spark. Please, go ahead and write down what makes you feel uncomfortable in the comment section. Thank you for tuning in!

If something happens in your life that’s not your fault, who’s responsible? Think about it for a second because the answer may actually be life altering. If you think you are, then you’re correct. But how can that be and furthermore, what’s it really mean? Watch this lesson from me (Phil Svitek) and find out—you might just stop thinking of yourself as the victim in life and find a way to push through in spite of your circumstances. This mantra, if you will, has helped me and I know it can help you. You’ll discover the principle really dates back to a wonderful quote by Charles Swindoll but in order to really unpack its full meaning, I provide context for it. Once you’ve gone through the episode, I invite you to comment down below with any instances in your life where you chose not to be a victim of your circumstances. Write it proudly so that anyone else seeing your word may be inspired. I’m sure I will be.

Ever notice patterns in your life that you then interpret as truth? Here’s an example: let’s say that whenever you’re sick you drink celery juice and listen to classical music to help you sleep, neither of which you normally do. Afterwards, you get well. What happens then is your brain links those things together, because as Judson Brewer, who is an American psychiatrist and neuroscientist, points out, our brains love to link things together. The problem with this is that it’s a statement of true, true and correlated rather than true, true and causation. As human beings, we try so hard to construct meaning and purpose from experience. A noble pursuit especially as artists. However, in doing so, we must constantly remind ourselves that our understanding is always going to be limited. One of the biggest reasons is because we can only ever see something through the lens of our perspective, which leaves out a lot of other perspectives. This is what I (Phil Svitek) explore in this lesson. I show you how to stop making assumptions and to really dig towards the truth. After the episode, I encourage you go ahead and write down two true statements that you’ve observed in your life. If you feel inclined, you can go ahead and try to defend those statements as being causal instead of just correlated. But if you don’t do that, no worries. The point of the exercise is to write down the patterns we notice in our lives and to begin to explore that. What I’d love to see happen is we all respond to each other’s posts and learn together. So go ahead and comment.

Have you ever hit the snooze button? I have and every morning I’ve hit the snooze button I felt like I started my day off with failure. I then asked many other people how they felt after hitting snooze on their alarms and the response has been the same. They were in a negative mental state for the better part of the day—tired, groggy, angry at themselves, feeling like they were already behind and therefore stressed, etc. These observations have led me to an unpopular idea that you should never hit the snooze button because when you do you begin your day as a failure. Hearing that might make you ready to skip this lesson, but allow me to explain, and furthermore, tell you what you can do to prevent that. Once you hear the full lesson, try out my methods and see how positively they affect the way you wake up. That in turn will positively impact the rest of your day. When you do, I’d love to hear how they help you out. Also, if there’s any other tips you have for waking up better, more rested, I’d love to know those too.

Have you ever heard the term spiritual bypass? I (Phil Svitek) didn’t until recently. If you have, do you know the term’s full meaning and how it affects you? Chances are you probably don’t. I certainly wasn’t aware. In this lesson, I explore the term by defining it, the ways you might be exemplifying it, how it impacts you and the world on a micro and macro level and most importantly what you can do to prevent yourself from becoming a spiritual bypasser—especially as an artist. I pull examples from Comedy Central’s South Park, the US Women’s National Soccer Team (specifically Megan Rapinoe), DaVinci, Toni Morrison, Charlotte Bronte, Shakespeare, Don Miguel Ruiz and Psychology Today. When you’re done with the episode, please comment below with examples from your life of spiritual bypassing. Be honest as it may help someone else to recognize when they’re doing it. Lastly, I’m grateful you’ve taken the time to hear what I have to say. May the knowledge I’ve shared serve you well.

Let me ask you a question — how do you derive at the real problem whenever you’re trying to fix something? Often times we think the issue we’re focused on will resolve that issue. But the truth is, most often, it won’t. In many instances what we’re treating is the symptom and not the root cause. Which also points to a huge issue in general, which is we put stock and value in the wrong things. So how do we remedy that and what should we be focusing on? Well, in this lesson, I (Phil Svitek), will show you a simple tactic called the three why theory to get to the route of any issue. I’ll draw inspiration and examples from Patch Adams, Ricardo Semler and Inc.com. After you’ve heard this lesson, please comment with any issues you’re facing that you’ll apply this technique towards. I’m very curious to know. Lastly, I’m grateful you’ve taken the time to hear what I have to say. May the knowledge I’ve shared serve you well.

Lina Noory joins me (Phil Svitek) on this episode and it is a real treat! Who is Lina Noory, for those of you who don’t know? She’s not only a dear friend who I used to host the AfterBuzz TV Reign after show with but she’s also an on camera personality with a focus on fashion and style. But to pigeon hole her as just a fashion expert is a huge disservice to her. She is one of the most intelligent people I know. She tries to learn everything she can and a lot of her perspective on life is informed by her Afghan heritage. During our conversation, we cover so many topics that all tie back to what it truly takes to build, grow and sustain a brand. Such topics include:
- How consistency is a must
- Why making a social contract with your audience motivates you by holding you accountable
- How to recognize your shortcomings without letting them dictate your life
- Understanding the value you deliver to people
- The power of meditation on your life and content
- How to truly build a career that lasts
- How to avoid the rat race and not give into social norms
We also get deep, talking about depression and therapy and end by discussing Afghanistan and how the country has shaped her perspectives on life. For as long as this interview is, I wish it could have been even longer. I especially wish we got to talk more about Afghanistan because I love learning about different cultures, especially ones that have many misconceptions. But comment down below any follow up questions you may have and if there’s enough, it’ll help me justify a round two to Lina. One final thing — grab a notebook. Lina pulls quotes and wisdom from all sources: Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Oprah, Eckhart Tolle, Michael Singer, Naval Ravikant,
Simon Cowell and others. Told you she’s smart. I do my best to link to all the things she brings up, but there’s nothing better than good old pen and paper to help you retain information. Enjoy my wide ranging conversation with Lina Noory!

Last week was my 50th episode of this series. That was a huge milestone. And in this lesson, I want to share with you how you can use various milestones in your life as motivators. First off, what is a milestone? Not only do I clarify that question but I then highlight the various ways those milestones can serve as incentives to achieve your goals and dreams. It’s a shorter lesson that usual, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less valuable. Once you’ve heard this lesson, please comment with the milestones you’ve chosen to identify in your life to get you to move forward. I’m very curious to know. Lastly, I’m grateful you’ve taken the time to hear what I have to say. May the knowledge I’ve shared serve you well.

Negativity perpetuates negativity. And while it may be easier to be critical, judgemental and cynical given today’s mindset, there’s actually a lot to be optimistic about. In this, my 50th episode, I highlight all the exciting things in humanity’s future and how we can all get there faster. It’s not a typical episode for me but it matters to you. I promise. I cite thinkers such as Steven Pinker (author of Enlightenment Now), Lynne Twist (author of The Soul of Money), artist Andy Goldworthy among others. I’m very curious to know what you think as well as which of my 50 episodes you’ve enjoy most, so be sure to comment down below. As always, thank you for being part of this journey with me. It’s incredible to think I’ve done 50 of these and you’ve taken the time to join me. Truly, I’m amazed and humbled.

Ever watch a movie or a TV show and think to yourself, “Man, I’ve seen this before” or “This is a ripoff of…” Now let me ask you this — if professionals can fall victim to cliches, then how can you avoid them in your creative work? Find out in this lesson with me (Phil Svitek)! First, I define what a cliche really is and then we tackle it from a technical standpoint as well as mental. I use four simple methods to help you avoid cliches in your projects. During the lesson, I point to other works as examples (both good and bad). The good examples include Ride Along, Stephen King books, sitcoms like F is for Family, That 70s Show, The Simpsons and others. I even point to directors Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese for inspiration, along with business author Daniel Pink. Even though the episode is less than 20 minutes, it’s jam packed. If you like what you hear, be sure to subscribe for more lessons. And please comment below with any cliches you’ve noticed cropping up in your field. I’d love to know. As always, thank you.

Is there such a thing as a career ladder in the entertainment industry? If there is, what does it look like? These questions tend to unhinge people because they think that if they do A, B and C then it will lead to X, Y and Z. The truth it is, it doesn’t correlate like that. This fact frustrates many hard-working and talented creatives. But don’t worry, in this lesson, I (Phil Svitek) will highlight how to go after your goals in the best way, despite not having a roadmap. What you’ll end up learning, can be applied to life as well. If you like what you hear, be sure to subscribe for more lessons. And please comment below with your career goal and what steps you’re taking to get there. I’d love to know and help you however I can. As always, thank you.

Have you ever thought about going to therapy? Maybe you have but the stigma of it all prevented you. Or maybe you’ve wondered how it can help you. In this episode, I (Phil Svitek) explore how the notions perpetuated in society are false and only make people person who probably already feels shitty spiral further because it debilitates them and their self worth. Therapy can actually unlock you personally and creatively if you allow it. It’s no coincidence that society is advocating mental health awareness. It’s time to listen. Discover all the possible ways you can benefit with me. In this lesson, I reference psychologist Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, Men in Black, hypnotherapy, kinestheology, quantum energetic medicine, Dr. Steven Small and others. If you like what you hear, be sure to subscribe for more lessons. And please comment below with any myths you’ve heard about therapy. I’d be happy to dispel them. As always, thank you.

At one point or another, we all face a creative rut. It's the stage where we've been doing something and all of a sudden we don't know how to continue. You can call it writer's block. Or creative fatigue. Perhaps burnout. Maybe it can be even as severe as depression. A creative rut has levels of asperity. It can be mild or dire. Ideally, you’d be able to pull yourself out of a creative rut before you spiral into a deep existential crisis. But let’s be honest with each other, sometimes a creative rut can lead to that where you’re questioning your sense of purpose. In fact, it happens to a lot of people who find success. It’s called the achiever’s curse. It leaves the person feeling with a sense of what’s next? Where’s it all heading? What’s it all mean? The good news is there’s many ways to overcome creative ruts. Many of these methods are individual to you. Some will work, others will not. You might need to combine certain ones. And they may change over time. But it is my goal in this lesson to present as many techniques as I can to help pull you out of your creative rut, no matter what depth you’ve found yourself in. In this lesson, I (Phil Svitek) will even pull references from Legally Blonde (starring Reese Witherspoon), author Neil Gaiman, Bar Rescue’s Jon Taffer and investor Ray Dalio. If you like what you hear, be sure to subscribe for more lessons. And please comment below with any tricks that you’ve learned from your own experience - they may benefit someone else. As always, thank you.

I (Phil Svitek) hear lots of people emphasizing that you need a good group of friends or a strong community. And they’re right, but they’re underselling why it is so important and also how to go about creating that foundation. That’s my focus here because the creative industry is extremely collaborative. Even the professions that on the surface seem like solitary disciplines, such as writing or painting, require collaboration in the end. We all need feedback for one thing. Secondly, friends or a community help us to grow. They inform us of things we’re unaware of. That’s the true value in having a community. Together, we can grow faster than you could individually as well as other benefits. Citing people such as Tony Robbins, Chris McCandless, Tom Brady, Simon Sinek, I explore the full depth of a community and how you too can cultivate one. And be sure to comment below with any questions you may have and share the episode with a friend. Thank you!

Have you ever found yourself debating whether or not you should take an opportunity? Some will preach to you that you must seize every opportunity that comes your way (including TV phenom Shonda Rhimes). Others like Greg McKeown, Warren Buffett and Tim Ferriss will urge you to be selective with your time. So who’s right? Well, I’ve found there’s a fundamental aspect about that which isn’t discussed much. In this lesson, I (Phil Svitek), will go in depth about how you can make that distinction for yourself of when to say yes and when to say know. Luckily for you, the answer is quite simple, thanks to high performance coach Rich Litvin and others. Once you know this fundamental distinction, you’ll be able to thrive creatively. I encourage your feedback and questions and also invite you to check out more of my episodes on my website. Enjoy.

Finances, it’s an area I (Phil Svitek) keep returning to but it’s because it’s super important. No, money is not the key to happiness, however it does relieve stress when you get to live life on your own terms by having financial freedom. In my 40th episode, I’m honored to interview Broke Millennial herself, Erin Lowry. I read her 1st book, Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together, in 2018 and I was blown away at how she managed to convey new tactics I haven’t seen in other books (mainly because most other wealth management book concern themselves with basics, but not student loans, relationships and other practical day to day issues). She manages to layer in the methods through personal stories as well. It’s not just an instruction manual. That’s what I love about her. From that point, I knew I wanted to talk to her. I got in touch and she agreed so long as it could be in time for her second book Broke Millennial Takes On Investing, a stipulation I was more than happy to agree to. So, this episode is my chat with her where she openly shares all kinds of financial advice, specifically geared towards creatives and freelancers. There are many great take-aways so I encourage you to jot down notes as you listen and also to pick up both her books. They are great resources as is her website. She is also touring right now with a presentation AND doing a Wednesday AMA. Check out this episode, follow her and become financially free! PS: Comment below with any questions you may have that weren’t answered or provide any tips you’re learned along the away. And if you could, share this episode with someone who may benefit from the lessons. Thank you!

Have you ever been told you need to be more present? Or that you’re too focused on the past? The past can carry positive emotions but for many artists, it can carry its baggage as well. It is through the lens of these negative emotions that we then begin to project what the future holds for us. This is bad because it makes us worry and stress, all the while taking us away from the present moment. The present, as many leaders, gurus and so on have stated, is all we have and where we must put our energy. In today’s lesson, I (Phil Svitek) will examine the effects of so-called time traveling has on our minds and bodies which is way more severe than you might think. More importantly though, I’ll provide solutions to stay more present and create the future you want. I’ll cite people such as Dr. Gabor Mate, Dr. Joe Dispenza (author of Breaking the Habit and Becoming Supernatural), Alice Miller (author of The Body Never Lies) and creative coach Mark McGuinness. Plus, the simplest advice will come from Star Wars: The Last Jedi. (Can you guess what it might be???) I’m excited to see the results you’ll have once you start applying some of these very simple techniques. Comment below with thoughts, opinions, personal experiences, questions, etc.

Charles Dickens wrote, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” That is also the viewpoint of poet and creative coach Mark McGuinness. The 21st century has so much to offer artists so long as they stay the course and don’t get distracted. In today’s episode, I (Phil Svitek) interview Mark about the challenges facing all 21st century creatives and how to overcome them. Mark is someone whose podcast (The 21st Century Creative) was recommended to me and since the first episode I listened to, I became hooked. He works with many top artists around the world, helping them overcome creative challenges. Together, we dive deep into philosophical and practical ideas that anyone can benefit from. I suggest you listen because as Mark says, “we as creatives put our heart and our soul into our work and so sometimes, we need to work on our heart and our soul.” Throughout our conversation we cite quotes from Charles Darwin, Steven Pressfield and even ancient texts. You’ll learn how to keep pushing through and completing your project even once you’ve hit a wall with it - a situation I was finding myself in with my book. Mark will even recommend great poetry to immerse yourself in. Plus so much more. Oh, so, so, SO much more. Enjoy this fantastic chat and please leave a comment below with any questions or thoughts you may have. Thank you.

It seems like everyone in the world hoards ideas. But how does that actually benefit them? It doesn’t and that’s what I (Phil Svitek) overview in today’s lesson. By ideas, I don’t mean your random thoughts or #fakelife on social media. I mean it in a much deeper and richer sense. Ideas, to me, encompass insights learned from life and concepts you generate. Yes, they make you vulnerable but there’s a worse alternative - I go over it in depth in the lesson. What’s more amazing to look at though is that the most successful people in the world, and companies, freely share information. So why wouldn’t you? Discover why you should stop hoarding your ideas immediately and default to open as Google might say. Share your journey. Share your knowledge. It will benefit you in ways you can’t even begin to imagine. As always, thank you for allowing me to share my ideas with you and please be sure to comment with any questions or thoughts you may have.

Failure is a nasty word to many. But why? Why do we have such an aversion to it? Why do we let it paralyzes us? Why is it that the fear of failure prevents artists from creation? And the fear of failure comes in many forms – sometimes it’s even disguised as procrastination. Make no mistake, our aversion to failure can have dire consequences. But then, WHY are we so afraid? Judgment? Self-pity? I’m sure you can name a myriad of answers. Sadly, there are people, including myself, who know that failure is the key to success and yet we avoid it like the plague. So how do you rid yourself of this idea that you’re a failure? You don’t. You work in spite of it. See, the most successful people in the world are not successful because they possess something you or I don’t, they are successful because they continue on. In this lesson, I (Phil Svitek) examine where our fear of failure comes from but more importantly I give you ways to overcome this crippling sensation. If you don’t, then this fear can be dire and lead you astray from your creative endeavors. Follow the given steps in this lesson and you too can grow and succeed against any challenge that life presents you. Please leave a comment with any questions or opinions you may have so I can respond to you and keep the conversation going. Thank you.

Lauren LoGrasso believes that creativity is within everyone and it must be tapped into and utilized, whether traditional creative means or inventive and fun ways of doing “non-creative” tasks. Otherwise, if we don’t, we’ll suffer and become unhappy, eventually even depressed. But who is Lauren? She is a musician, producer, podcaster, actress and overall creative artist that I’ve known for at least five years. She’s an amazing person and she joins me (Phil Svitek) to offer her wisdom and insight into navigating life as a creative. Lauren sheds light into how she’s found the courage to overcome fear, stay positive and keep moving forward on projects that have taken way longer to complete than ever expected - sometimes even having to start from scratch. She’s honest and raw and even discusses the importance of therapy and self-development for any person. Her latest project - Unleash Your Inner Creative - is a shining example of what she’s able to accomplish and the knowledge she is able to spread. More importantly, she loves all souls and it shows. Her passion is infectious and I hope you catch it! Her major theme of this conversation is never hold back your creativity. Powerful, right? Please be sure to comment with any questions or opinions you may have for me or Lauren. Thank you.

Filmmaker Khaliel Abooboo is a very dear friend of mine. I’ve known him for a number of years after he joined AfterBuzz TV. Him and I (Phil Svitek) became friends early on and that friendship has grown tremendously over the years. But that’s not what makes him special. Khaliel has a spirit, joy and passion for creating content that infects everyone around him. And he’s ambitious in the projects he wants to make and never lets fear, resources, or anything else stand in the way of those ambitions. He joins be today to chat about his latest projects including the Black Spiderman web series and Shoot Your Shot. We also travel back in time and explore how Khaliel learned all the things he knows today. In recounting stories, Khaliel is able to highlight the lessons he’s gained along the way and how you too can apply it to your art, such as the fact that restrictions can be liberating to you. Plus we discuss the state of the industry, how to keep momentum without having the wheels come off and other deep insights we didn’t know we’d get into when we started the conversation. Please enjoy this interview and please support my friend - not because he’s my friend but because his work is amazing. Be sure to leave a comment down below as well. Thank you!

How can you challenge yourself daily and grow within your craft? It’s a question that plagues many of us especially when time, money and resources are limited. But in order to become an expert, Malcolm Gladwell suggests that we need 10,000 hours of deliberate principle? Chances are you have, even if you didn’t know that it came from him. The theory is that in order to become a master of a certain craft, you need to dedicate 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. How much time is 10,000 hours? It amounts to about 5 years if you spend 6 hours each and every day working towards your goal. In this instant gratification era that may seem like a hell of a lot of time, especially when you account for no weekend or holiday breaks. But that is what it takes. I (Phil Svitek) am not here today to argue against him because in the end it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that as an artist you continue to grow on a daily basis – that you’re better today than you were yesterday. And this applies to all levels – beginner to expert because even once you reach the level of expert, there’s always new ways to challenge yourself. In this lesson I provide you with a new perspective on how to stop seeing these notions as roadblocks and instead embrace them. I show you ways in which you can still practice your art every day in spite of any obstacles. Doing so will make you so much better and provide you with a unique voice! PS: I appreciate you tuning in and if you have any questions or thoughts, be sure to write them in the comment section.

Rob Greenlee, Vice President of Podcast Relations at Voxnest, joins me (Phil Svitek) on this special episode where the two of us discuss the state of the podcast industry in 2019. Rob highlights his journey into podcasting since the early beginnings and his work with Microsoft’s Zune. He recounts the growth that has happened and discusses what’s needed in order for the industry to continue to evolve. Plus, he and I discuss practical ways in which podcasters can get started or grow their pre-existing series. We’ll go over cool gadgets in the space such as the Rodecaster Pro mixer used by many podcasters. Lastly, Rob names his favorite podcast conventions that are most beneficial for getting immersed with other podcasters. He offers up a ton in a short amount of time so pay attention. As always, thank you for tuning in and if you have any questions, be sure to write them in the comment section. The more there are, the better Rob and I can answer then for when we do a follow-up interview, whenever that may be.

Creative people tend to have so many dreams, it can become easy to feel overwhelmed by all of them, which unfortunately leads to not accomplishing them. Productivity and freedom comes from you committing to your art and then you choose whatever else fits that benefits you in some way. It’s a simple enough answer but many of us fear committing to certain choices because it inevitably means you’re eliminating other possibilities. I find that the fear of commitment is an American epidemic. If we’re doing one thing, it then means we’re not getting to do another. But that’s just a fact of life. You can choose to see it as bad or you can just accept it because I believe true freedom comes from commitment. More than likely the people you look up to are fantastic at committing to projects and getting them done. They are probably so good at it that the sheer amount of projects they’re able to turn out seems intimidating. This, I believe, is the reason why I know too many people with hundreds of projects at various stages of progress and none of them complete. Does that sound like someone you want to be? I don’t, which is why in this lesson I (Phil Svitek) provide you with principles that successful people have used in order to accomplish many projects in their lives. I reference investor Warren Buffett, Greg McKeown’s essentialism principle, Parkinson’s Law and the importance of routines to combine them into real world steps you can take to achieve your creative endeavors. And it all starts with a mental shift. Are you ready to see your dreams cross the finish line? Then check out this episode. As always, thank you for doing so and write your opinion, any suggestions or questions you may have afterwards.

There are two fundamental choices each of us gets to make in our daily lives - to either create or destroy. That’s really it. Everything else stems from there. I (Phil Svitek) showcase the power you gain when you decide to operate from a place of creativity rather than destruction - it’s precisely why it is one of my new year’s resolutions. I go into detail what it means to operate from a place of creativity vs destruction and provide examples from various thinkers, such as Barack Obama, Steven Pinker, Charles Bukowski, Marisa Peer and so on, to highlight everyday impacts of this single choice. You’ll be amazed at what can be accomplished through this simple shift when you approach both your artistic ventures and life in general from this perspective. You can accomplish anything really by doing this mental change. Furthermore, I point to the source of where this choice begins, which is our words. More often than not, we’re the most harmful verbally towards ourselves. That’s not helping. Overcome this habit to unlock the benefits teased above. Join me and see how you can elevate your life. Also, I encourage you to write any thoughts, questions, suggestions, etc that you may have in the comment section. Thank you!

To give them initial pointers and insights, they interview Chelsea Galicia, co-founder of the Financially Fit Foundation (http://financiallyfitfoundation.org/). With her help, they debunk common myths about budgeting, spending and saving. Chelsea gives them great step by step instructions to truly track where their money is going so they too can be “financially fit”. The lessons are easily applicable for anyone, so don't hesitate to try. Here's some resources that Phil and Ally looked at the interview with Chelsea:

It’s a brand new year and many of us have made new year’s resolutions in order to accomplish what we want. But what about our finances? Have you thought about those? Budgeting is the first step to financial freedom and in this lesson I (Phil Svitek) highlight the methods that Financially Fit Foundation’s Chelsea Galicia used to teach me about my wealth management. It may seem like a scary or intimidating subject, but as creatives it is ultra important that we are aware of our spending - otherwise how else will we achieve our dreams? The steps given are easy and practical. They’re designed to get you started. You won’t be where you ultimately want to end up, but you can’t get there without doing this first. So, as scared as you might be, check out this episode and gain control of your financial life today! Also, as a bonus, I’m reposting past interviews that pertain to finances on the audio podcast this week (sorry, I don’t have video versions of these). Be sure to check those out as well for more info and please comment below with any thoughts, opinions, questions or even recommendations. Thank you.

AJ Jacobs recently released a book called Thanks a Thousand: A Gratitude Journey where he chronicles his journey of individually thanking all the people responsible for his coffee in the morning. This includes the factory worker than ensures health safety measures. This includes the workers where the coffee beans originated from. It even includes the person who painted the lines on the road so that the truck driver who then transports the coffee had a proper road to drive on. If you really think about it, that’s a lot of people that are responsible for his coffee (and yours). The process really made him appreciate life more and solidified for me (Phil Svitek) a notion that Tony Robbins and many other thought leaders have preached, which is become more grateful in your life. Doing so will bring you appreciation and joy towards life like nothing else. Especially in today’s day and age, we may feel disconnected from other people whether by physical distances or by differing thoughts. But when you start applying the type of thinking that I explore in this quick lesson, you’ll start to realize how interconnected we all really are. It will give you a sense of pride, passion and encouragement. I highlight key takeaways I learned from the book and why it’s imperative that creatives embrace a life of gratitude in order to be fulfilled not only creatively but in all aspects of life. This lesson comes just in time for 2018’s holiday season and I encourage you to take advantage of this time to practice gratitude and to carry it forward into the new year so you can apply this mentality towards your projects and see how it benefits you. (If you’re watching this in the “future” then just pick a different milestone as your starting point. Make it simple. It can be today!) Comment below with questions or comments.

Technology is neither good nor bad. It depends on how you use it and as I (Phil Svitek) note, too often creatives shy away from it. Their ambitions often times suffer because of it. It can take longer to accomplish something if at all. By learning technology, an artist can be liberated and achieve their greatest dreams. Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez is a strong advocate of learning technology as a means to enhance projects. Technology, when used right, is empowering. You don’t have to rely on others for help. You can do it yourself. In this lesson, I showcase the importance technology can play in your creative endeavours as well as pointing you in the right direction of places to learn more. Such examples include YouTube tutorials, Lynda.com, Skillshare.com, the magazine racks at a bookstore like Barnes and Noble, the library, trade shows and most importantly just a simple internet search. I also encourage a networking group of like-minded people for you to connect with in order to learn from each other especially in this rapidly changing landscape. Don’t worry, I give you steps to make that happen! Comment below with questions or comments and also what equipment, software, etc you have found beneficial in your life.

This weekend I (Phil Svitek) met with a lot of hosts during the AfterBuzz TV annual end of year summit. What I discovered was that many of them had the same fears and doubts which boiled down to this idea that they weren’t where they ultimately wanted to be or that they haven’t yet discovered their true purpose. It hit me that many artists must feel this way. I sure have and at times this feeling creeps back up. So, in this lesson, I’ll provide you with the same advice I shared with the AfterBuzzers I met with over the weekend. I explore how to find your purpose and why it’s not as far off as you might have imagined. It just begins with action. Without action, you’ll never discover your passions and what you’re good at. I highlight a bit of my own journey from wanting to become a film editor to being AfterBuzz TV’s Chief Operating Officer. I also pinpoint where the doubt stems from within ourselves. Utilizing a James Cameron quote, I’ll help dispel the notion of what’s possible and what’s not. Because let’s face it, as artists, we all have lofty ambitions. So stop succumbing to your fears and doubts and create the life you’re meant to have - after you discover what that actually is :) Enjoy the episode and comment below with any thoughts, questions, feedback, etc.

We all have everyday tasks that we must knockout (laundry, grocery shopping, responding to emails, etc). These are called maintenance tasks. But they don’t further you towards your dreams. So the question becomes, what options do we have to ease our lives with these maintenance tasks so we can tackle more of what are called growth tasks daily? Good question! And that’s what I (Phil Svitek) will teach you today. I will explore the 6 various methods at your disposal. I cite examples such as Beyonce, Gandhi, ABC’s Shark Tank, AfterBuzz TV’s Maria Menounos and Keven Undergaro and others to help illustrate my points better. I’ll provide step by step instructions so you know exactly how to emulate these titans. So go ahead, check out the episode and try these techniques and see how they work out for you. Also, feel free to comment below with any suggestions you might have, or of course ask a question about specifics for your own situation.

Procrastination is a beast many of us fight daily and unfortunately lose out to. We may have will power that allow us to gain small victories but the war ends up being lost via abandoned passion projects and other dreams. So how do we win this ongoing struggle and become more productive like the people we aspire to be, whether that be Oprah, The Rock, Kevin Hart, Tyler Perry, Maria Menounos or even AfterBuzz TV creator Keven Undergaro? The answer is simpler than you think and it’s scientifically proven to work through a technique called implementation intention, which empowers the prefrontal cortex and hacks the limbic system thanks to procedural memory. Join me (Phil Svitek) as I take you step by step through the entire process so you can take action and accomplish more of what you want in your life. I’ll help you identify growth tasks vs maintenance tasks among other things. Don’t worry. It’s all simple - it just takes work, like all things. Comment below with any thoughts, questions or opinions you may have for me or Juliet Vibert.

Keven Undergaro, AfterBuzz TV’s creator and one of the most influential people in my (Phil Svitek) life, foretold a decade ago that one day, if I subscribed to what he calls the samurai lifestyle, I’d be amazed at what I’d accomplish. First off, the samurai lifestyle is really simple. It demands a focus on the craft and eliminating distractions that take away from your work. Secondly, he was absolutely right. I am truly amazed at all the wonderful opportunities and achievements I’ve been a part of in my professional career over the past 15 years. In this lesson, I want to highlight the importance of taking a moment to reflect back on past accomplishments. Too many times we’re go, go go! It makes us lose sight of why we are doing what we’re doing and it takes the joy out. Life is meant to be enjoyed. You can find happiness in anything. So discover how gratitude can help create momentum to move you forward to new objectives with a sense of passion and purpose! I’ll give you techniques of how to see the beauty in yourself and the world so you can enjoy life. Comment below with any thoughts, questions or opinions you may have for me or Juliet Vibert.

Films have the power to move and transform us. They certainly have moved me. In this lesson, I (Phil Svitek) highlight 10 films that have impacted me greatly. More importantly, I’ll extract the lessons learned from them and how you too can apply those same insights to help in your creative endeavours and life. The films include The Matrix, Unforgiven, The Marx Brothers’ Room Service, Risen, Gifted, Kubo and the Two Strings, Atonement and others. Any you seen these films? Which ones? Are you going to check any out now that I’ve recommended them? Also, what films have impacted you and why? Let me know in the comment section.

Ever hear the phrase “ignorance is bliss”? Chances are you have. So then let me ask you this, if ignorance is bliss, why seek knowledge at all? Why waste your time listening to me (Phil Svitek) talk about theories and concepts? I know from my own experience that sometimes the more I learn the more confused I am. I wouldn’t be shocked if you’ve listened to my past 20 lessons and scratched your head saying “what is he talking about?” In this lesson I take a deep look at our understanding of what knowledge is and why we’re in search of it. More importantly, I give specifics of what you should look for and what you shouldn’t. Utilizing thinkers such as Don Miguel Ruiz, Viktor Frankl, Sir Isaac Newton and the story of Adam and Eve, I’ll illustrate the power words have in shaping our reality and why we must understand the true nature of knowledge. Be careful, it might just make you question everything. And once you’ve checked out the episode, be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have so I can respond.

I (Phil Svitek) see lots and lots of people try to emulate social media megastars like Kim Kardashian in order to have the same large fan base, or “reach” as it may be called. Emulate them how? Well, therein lies the problem. The ways in which I see people emulate these celebrities is surface level. They forget the craft and instead seek the result… aka they aim to become famous. I’ve said time and time again, if you’re pursuing a creative passion, you need to have it be your passion. The ultimate goal cannot be fame or money. That’s a byproduct of the value you’re able to bring to people – just like in any other field by the way. Recently, I saw Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born and there’s a quote I really like that speaks to this. Don’t worry, it’s not a spoiler. The quote goes, “Look, talent comes everywhere, but having something to say and a way to say it so that people listen to it, that’s a whole other bag. And unless you get out and you try to do it, you’ll never know. That’s just the truth. And there’s one reason we’re supposed to be here is to say something so people want to hear. So you got to grab it, and you don’t apologize, and you don’t worry about why they’re listening, or how long they’re going to be listening for, you just tell them what you want to say.” Looking at it from that perspective, is all you have to say “hey, look at me, I want you to like me”? FOR FUCK’S SAKE STOP WORRYING ABOUT HOW FAMOUS YOU SHOULD BE! Instead, start worrying about what you’re saying and how you’re saying it. Align your art and skills with your values because you will never attract and sustain an audience if you don’t truly captivate them. And guess what? Once you do that, even if you don’t have millions of followers like Kim or Kylie Jenner, you’ll be able to support yourself as an artist and impact an audience. I’ll show you exactly why a small fan base can be stronger than a large one. I’ll reference Almost Famous (with Philip Seymour Hoffman), comedian Adam Carolla and Kevin O’Leary from ABC’s Shark to illustrate certain points. And I’ll go to the source - Kevin Kelly who coined the term “1,000 True Fans”. All these will teach you how a small fan base can earn you a living - the dream of any artist. Write any comments or questions you may have so I can respond too!

An artist’s journey is a constant balancing act where s/he must overcome daily hurdles. The term homeostasis, which we learned in science class but probably have forgotten, is actually the perfect metaphor for this ongoing process as a creator. I (Phil Svitek) will explore what I mean by this and more importantly how it can benefit you in your work. I’ll also reference Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art which shares similar notions. Once you begin to understand this concept you can begin to master mental fortitude and unlock your passions that allow you to meet your muse everyday! That’s pretty powerful if you stop to think about it. So check it out! I also encourage you to write any comments or questions you may have so I can respond. PS: The definition of homeostasis is: any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival. If homeostasis is successful, life continues; if unsuccessful, disaster or death ensues. The stability attained is actually a dynamic equilibrium, in which continuous change occurs yet relatively uniform conditions prevail. Can you guess how this ties back to an artist’s life before tuning into the episode? Even if you do, I promise there’s many take-aways you’ll gain.

Elaine currently contributes to Forbes. She’s also co-founder of 200kfreelancer.com, a community for indie professionals looking to build a thriving business. I (Phil Svitek) interview her in this episode and explore those principles and have her deconstruct them. Elaine showcases approaches creatives can take to earn a living from their art by using examples she’s witness. I was first introduced to Elaine through Tim Ferriss’ podcast where he highlighted case studies from Elaine’s book. It got me very excited and I just had to read the book. I picked it up and sped through it. It was a very interesting reading that I gained a lot from. I’m excited for you to listen to this interview with her because it’s inspiring to know that as an individual you can earn a very good income on your own terms. Especially for people with creative ambitions, her principles can really help. She is very generous with her answers so I encourage you to take notes. For more information, check out her book and her publications. Be sure to leave a comment with any questions, thoughts, suggestions, etc.

Ever had an experience that was so profound it altered you forever? Ever had a once in a lifetime experience that brought you so much joy? I’m sure you have. But those moments can be few and far between and many times our of our control. While I (Phil Svitek) truly wish upon you those extraordinarily beautiful moments in your life, I am more concerned with how you find meaning in the everyday. The moments that are much more quiet and subdued. The ones that could even be classified as mundane like laundry, an activity that has to be repeated over and over throughout life. These types of moments we don’t talk about much. They’re certainly not written about it books or shown on TV. If we talk about activities such as doing laundry with anyone it’s usually in a begrudging manner. Like, “crap, I have to do laundry.” But even though we don’t talk about them or consider them much, I want to pose to you that these moments are equally as profound as the once-in-a-lifetime events. Maybe even more so. Here’s why. Because if we can’t learn to find meaning in the everyday then we’ll end up depressed. You can’t just go from one amazing experience to another amazing experience. More often times than not, these monotonous moments amount to more of our time than the special ones. Even successful people that you admire have moments of down time that they need to fill. It is how we fill these moments that defines us. And in this lesson I explore questions such as these and offers insights from the stoics, Viktor Frankl (author of Man’s Search for Meaning), Thomas Edison, Dan Millman (author of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior) and artist Andy Goldsworthy to derive at a solution. If you’d like to experience more meaning from life, this episode is for you. Be sure to leave a comment.

Ever see someone so gifted but never end up amounting to much? That’s because any skill in life must be honed over time lest you lose it. See, I (Phil Svitek) used to think for the longest time that talent was just a skill-set. And yes, talent is a gift of some kind (no matter whether you believe in God, the universe or genetics). But like all gifts, our talents must be honored and not wasted. That’s the difference between those who are successful and those who are not. Successful people exercise their talent and apply it daily. Talent therefore is a journey. That’s how we must think of it moving forward. In this lesson, I expand upon this notion and highlight the importance of making sure you never lose your talents and the ways in which you can practice your craft everyday. I’ll cite stoicism, as depicted by Ryan Holiday in his book The Obstacle is the Way and Pastor Erwin McManus from Mosaic. Comment below with thoughts, opinions, personal experiences, questions, etc.

Ever start a project with so much enthusiasm and then hours later abandon it because it’s not turning out the way you anticipated? Lots of us have had this experience. In this lesson, I (Phil Svitek) will take concepts from Howard Love’s book The Start-Up J Curve, which is geared towards educating entrepreneurs, and apply it to your entire life. See, Howard Love wrote the book in response to a very popular myth about startups. The myth is that if you track a start-up’s progress on a graph, you’ll end up with a diagonal line from the bottom-left corner to the uppermost right corner. That’s because supposedly if you build your business around one really great idea then you’ll enjoy continued, linear growth until you decide to sell. That was not the case with over 50 companies Howard Love was involved in. But he did notice patterns and has since identified six distinct phases during a startup’s life cycle, each with its own growth patterns. And even though we want our lives to be a linear upward slope, it actually ends up resembling the start-up J curve more so than anything else. After enjoying this lesson, please leave a comment or question down below so I can converse with you.

Oprah and others have stated that “speaking your truth” can be a powerful tool. It can indeed. However, in order to wield this tool, like anything else, we must first understand the true spirit of a statement like “speak your truth”. Because if we don’t, we’ll end up misappropriating the phrase to such aspects that aren’t worthy of it, or worse - things that can be harmful. In today’s lesson, I (Phil Svitek) talk about the notion of speaking your truth. I first started thinking about what speak your truth really means when I, Tonya came out last year. It’s a biographical film, which depicts the story of talented figure skater Tonya Harding as she becomes the first American woman to complete a triple axel during a competition. In 1994, her world comes crashing down when her ex-husband conspires to injure Nancy Kerrigan, a fellow Olympic hopeful, in a poorly conceived attack that forces the young woman to withdraw from the national championship. Harding’s life and legacy instantly become tarnished as she’s forever associated with one of the most infamous scandals in sports history. Based on the title alone, you can probably tell this film is from the perspective of Tonya Harding. This film went on to create a lot of Oscar buzz and it brought back Tonya Harding into the spotlight in what I would call revisionist history. Meaning suddenly she was a brave woman for speaking her truth. All the while I thought what the hell does Nancy Kerrigan think about all this. I’m sure it can’t be anything pleasant. See, therein lies the danger of a phrase like speak your truth for me. Because it’s not the objective truth. It’s a perspective. More specifically, your perspective. Speaking your truth is a very noble sentiment. However it gets tricky since we also value tolerance and wide ranging thoughts and opinions. And at no point do you want to assign someone else’s truth better or worse than yours. Inherently that is what happens with a phrase like speak your truth. It implies a concrete statement, often times with blind certainty, that negates the other person’s perspective. I’ll unpack how to apply “speak your truth” in the correct way using many examples including The Devil Wears Prada starring Anne Hathaway. Comment below with thoughts, opinions, personal experiences, questions, etc.

Is doom and gloom all you ever see when you look at your future? Do you constantly prevent yourself from doing things because of fear? In this lesson, I (Phil Svitek) give you action steps to overcome your anxieties about the future utilizing a technique called negative visualization. I’ll walk you through each step and explain how it can benefit your life to think through all the worse case scenarios in order to overcome them. On the surface, it might feel counterproductive, but negative visualization is actually a practice that many top companies utilize in order to avoid costly mistakes. And you can too! Let your worrying mind become an asset, not a liability! If you have questions or comments, please leave a comment.

Are you looking to become more effective in your life - both professionally and personally? Do you find yourself wasting time on useless tasks? This lesson combats everyone’s need for efficiency by telling you what you do is much more important that how you do it. Using examples from Tim Ferriss’s The 4-Hour Workweek, I (Phil Svitek) showcase the differences between being efficient and being effective and how you too can accomplish more of what you want. The answers might not be what you expect, especially if you’re a millennial that’s been praised solely on the basis of your participation effort because in the real world, work and otherwise, participation isn’t the primary metric. Successfully completing tasks is the primary metric. I show you how to do just that. Check out the lesson and leave a comment with your thoughts on this episode as well as some time management tips you might have!

In this lesson, I (Phil Svitek) am doing something a little different - I’m going to share one of my favorite movie scenes and extrapolate the lesson I take away from it because movies are a beautiful tool that can move us & more importantly, they have the power to teach us about life. The movie I’m highlighting is Elia Kazan’s On the Waterfront starring Marlon Brando. While it’s primarily known for its famous “I coulda been a contender” scene, I am using a different scene from the movie to showcase. This movie holds such a precious spot in my heart because it teaches us not only the true meaning of helping others but to also believe in ourselves. After you check out this lesson I hope you’re inspired to watch the full movie, whether it's your first time or you’re just revisiting it. Let me know what you took away from the scene or the full movie (if you’ve seen it). PS: Next week I’m covering effectiveness vs efficiency!

In today’s social media driven world, I (Phil Svitek) wonder about the why of it all. Why are we so obsessed with social media? Why does it consume our time so frequently? Why does it cause us stress sometimes? One day I had an epiphany. Social media is a form of living vicariously. Many times we use social media as a means to judge and compare ourselves to whoever it is we’re looking at. But what we’re really saying is I want to be that person. I want to look like that person. I want to have the experiences that person gets to have. I want to have the money this person has. And so on and so forth. In this lesson, I offer an alternative to FOMO (fear of missing out). Check it out and let comment with your thoughts on the episode as well as how you use social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.

There’s been a gradual decline in reading across America. This is very sad, because ultimately, it’s only hurting those who aren’t reading. There’s so many benefits to reading - in this week’s lesson I (Phil Svitek) share all those benefits. Here’s just a sample of one - Brazilian professor Paulo Freire says this about reading: “Reading is not exhausted merely by decoding the written word or written language, but rather anticipated by and extending into knowledge of the world. Reading the world precedes reading the word, and the subsequent reading of the word cannot dispense with continually reading the world. Language and reality are dynamically intertwined. The understanding attained by critical reading of a text implies perceiving the relationship between text and context.” That’s right - reading has proven to create a greater empathy and understanding of the world. In today’s global landscape, this because ultra important, in my mind at least. And it saddens me when I hear people abandoning the act of reading all together. Anyway, I’ll highlight other benefits to reading and how you too can read a book a week just like the most successful people in the world.

In order for me (Phil Svitek) to run such a large scale entity as AfterBuzz TV, it’s important for me to have systems and routines in place both on a personal and company level. In this lesson, I’ll first define what I mean by routines and highlight how structure is the backbone of routines that then create a system, which is really a way of saying how you carry out the routines or processes. The better the system, the more effective your routines are. I’ll begin by talking about you as an individual and then expand it into a larger context. Now, I know some of you are adverse to routines because you have a negative association with the word and so I’ll kick things off with explaining how routines can liberate your life rather than restrict it. Comment below with any questions or opinions you have.

I (Phil Svitek) will take you back to the basics. The basics of what, you might be thinking? It’s not the basics of any subject but rather the importance of allowing yourself to reset to a starting position. In every discipline there is a starting position. The thing or things you should learn first. In learning these, you can then advance to the next, more difficult part of that discipline. It’s like climbing stairs. You take one by one from the bottom until you get to the top. A lot of this is so plain and simple and yet every day people try to skip sections or whole parts entirely. They are too impatient. Learning the fundamentals seems boring and wasteful of their time. They want to be masters right away. Nothing in life works this way. Trust me. It may for a short time, more than likely attributed to dumb luck, but in time you’ll be exposed a fraud. In this lesson, I’ll highlight three things. First, how do we define the basics, secondly what does resetting to a starting position mean and three, why is it important for you to do so. To reinforce the lesson, I use quotes from Kobe Bryant, Jim Rohn, Gandhi, Vince Lombardi and others. Comment below with any questions or comments you have.

Humans have lots of ideas, some good, some bad, but nonetheless we all have lots of them. One of my (Phil Svitek) biggest pet peeves, whether for myself or others, is when those good ideas don’t get executed. I’m almost certain you can relate to this feeling in your own life. How many times have you thought of something brilliant but it never got done? You think about it from time to time, say you’ll get started but never do. That’s the problem with ideas. They’re a dime a dozen. It’s the execution that matters. And working at the speed of thought, if truly done properly, eradicates the bottlenecks, frustrations, obstacles, and so on of the process in taking an idea from concept to conception. Allow me to illustrate what I mean by working at the speed of thought and how you can apply it to your projects. I’ll cite filmmaker Robert Rodriquez among others as part of this lesson. Comment below with any questions or comments you have.

Imagine two men biking, one at a rapid pace and the other at a leisurely pace. How long do you think it takes them to bike 25 miles? The answer might surprise you, as it surprised me (Phil Svitek), because the answer is there’s not much of a difference. The biker that sped would only pull ahead by a minute or two. That may sound like an abstract math problem but it’s actually not. It’s a story that entrepreneur Derek Sivers shared on the Tim Ferriss podcast. When I heard this story, I had an epiphany, incidentally much like Tim. For years I’d approached all my work from a knock it out quick standpoint. I’d rush as fast as I could. At times that left me tired and the work somewhat to be desired. Because I was tired, I was slower with my next tasks, and then even more slower with the one after that. Sad to admit, I got angry at times too. At myself, sometimes at others. In terms of the work, I luckily have an insane amount of stamina and determination to accomplish projects. But year after year, it took a toll on me. Upon being told Siver’s story, I realized I was the biker who sped through the 25 miles. All to “just get it done.” More importantly, I realized there was a better way to knock out action steps without exhausting myself. That’s the lesson I share with you today and it can be summarized in four simple words - no hurry, no pause. Discover what that truly means and how it can change your life. Comment below with any questions or comments you have.

As a culture, I find we’re OBSESSED with quiz shows. Why? It’s a simple answer: we love to test our knowledge. We put value on intelligence. It becomes a literal competition to see who is the smartest. You can look beyond quiz shows and look at any standardized tests as further evidence of that. As much as I appreciate smart people, I’ve come to realize that the true test is not what you know, it’s what you do when you don’t know. It’s how you overcome obstacles..that’s the real test of the mind. It’s easy to look at someone we think is smarter than us and feel inferior. The reality is none of us are born with any knowledge. It must be learned and attained throughout life. As writer David Foster Wallace said, “I have come gradually to understand that the liberal arts cliché about teaching you how to think is actually shorthand for a much deeper, more serious idea: learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think.” That’s right. We must learn how to think in order to learn because if we don’t, we’ll forever feel overwhelmed by any subject – simple or complex. This is what I, Phil Svitek, will teach you in today’s lesson - to learn what to do when you don’t know. I’ll give you strategies and tactics I’ve learned used firsthand. Comment below with any questions or comments you have.

I’m sure you’ve heard more than once the expression practice makes perfect. The idea that you can attain perfection by means of practice has been ingrained in you so much so that it’s become counter-productive. Practice makes perfect is a false term. And here is why - if practice made people perfect, then there’s a lot of people out there that would be amazing at what they do. You and I both know that’s not the case. Instead, there’s another phrase we need to consider, one that I learned from my high school soccer coach. Listen to this lesson of mine (Phil Svitek) to learn what that phrase really implies and how it can benefit you even if you’re not an athlete. Comment below with any questions or comments you have.
