Summary

Trevor Pryce, Owner of The Outlook Company (OVFX), shares the story of how a trip to a movie lot to sign a contract has led him to chase his creative passions, including writing and producing. Trevor talks about some of the ways that he leads his team of creatives by example, and why he’s a big believer in “competing to create”. Pryce and host of #ThePlaybook, David Meltzer, chat about why Trevor decided to start OVFX in Baltimore, their approaches to being tough on employees that you care about, and the anxieties associated with being a first-time entrepreneur. The pair also converse about why it is nearly impossible to prioritize more than three things at a time.
