Prior to 42, Johnny was part of the original team at Disney Online in 1995, designing kid-friendly Web sites as well as sites for Hollywood Records' rock and R&B artists. He left Disney for Pittard Sullivan, the award-winning LA design shop, where he led design efforts for Fox Family and the Military Channel. He later partnered with Alex Lieu at 3 Pin Media, joining 42 when the two firms merged in 2005. Outside of 42, Johnny is known as KMNDZ, a signature artist in LA's pop surrealist art scene. He took his name from the keystroke combination "command z"-because he thinks we could all use an "undo" button in life. His work has been shown at the Thinkspace and Merry Karnowsky galleries in Los Angeles, Fifty24SF and the Shooting Gallery in San Francisco, the Leonard Street Gallery in London, and England's Bristol City Museum.

Marco Santiago gives the guys an idea of what small victories look like during your time working up the entertainment ladder. It’s truly a journey, but when we all see big-time stars, it’s hard to not assume overnight fame and ease. The ever impossible question to answer is, “When do you know you’re successful?” can have a lot of different faces but there are clear milestones. Sundance, signing bit talent, project drop, and quick pick. Mark walks through similar signs of how he got his Netflix project, “Water & Power” done, but each rung of the journey showed him he was making progress.

Recorded live on the Universal Studios Lot, Jeff Stearns was a rough and tumble kid who reluctantly rolled his way into landing several major acting deals as a young adult (he was really famous in Norway). When tragedy hit, he turned a corner, obsessed with storytelling and the production process, Jeff found himself pumping out content gold. Where can you find it? What TWO questions does every investor ask before they will give you millions for your project?
