Summary

LOVED having my man Morgan Spurlock on the show. If you don't know him, he's the mastermind behind the popular documentary Supersize Me. We sat down and chatted about how he came up in the entertainment biz, starting out with some seriously fun stories as a production assistant, and then answered questions like when you should start looking for a business partner, what you should be taking advantage of when studying in another country, and how to start monetizing your own personal brand and social content. Check this out, it's a great one ;)
