No fluff. No ego. Just 52 minutes of raw, practical advice every creative needs to hear. In this episode, we break down the hard truths that no one talks about—why your projects keep falling apart, how to actually level up as a creative, and the systems you need to build if you're serious about filmmaking as a career. We dive into team dynamics, the art of debriefing, avoiding burnout, dealing with client revisions, and learning how to grow without losing your mind. Whether you're just starting or already deep in the trenches, this is the episode that will force you to look at your process, your mindset, and your future with brutal honesty.
