I fell into victim mentality a lot and I refocused and reframed to seeing myself as a survivor.

Someone's always got a deeper, more gnarly scar than you do.

It's not about that, but for me it was a mindset thing of changing

from being the victim into the survivor. When I was in victim mode I was

waiting for someone to save me. Almost entitled, right? Like, okay I'm waiting, I'm hurting here, someone come with the rescue boats, and there were none. And so I had to make a decision. Do I drown right here on the spot? Do I die? Or do I start swimming to shore, even though I can't see shore,

and I decided to swim.

What is up, you sexy bastards? It's your boy Takodelli aka

Rabbi Can't lose aka no-kegan. Today I have a conversation with Brian

Elliot. One of the things on my bucket list this year was to meet more writers

and producers of film studios and he was at a huge film studio

NBC where he was responsible for a $30 million profit and loss and walk the red

carpet. Why is it red by the way? Anyways he had the perfect job but he was growing restless and

wanted to create his own content. So he quit his cushy-ass job and started his own

production company right before the 2008 recession. By the ways he has four kids

and a wife and a mortgage.

But he made it through the 2008 recession stronger and he's worked on some really interesting

projects.

Here's three gigantic things you're going to learn in this episode.

Number one, the benefits of building a personal brand that he's used on his business and his network.

Number two, how to build your minimal viable audience? I love that. That was interesting.

And number three, how Brian convinced Seth Golden to speak at his event after getting turned down multiple times.
