Summary

In today’s episode, I’m joined by James Maslow and Clinton Sparks to explore the essence of long-term success. Clinton shares the fascinating story of producing Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary” and how it took over a decade to achieve its global success, amassing nearly 500 million streams. We discuss the patience, perseverance, and belief required to stay committed to a vision—even when immediate results aren’t evident. James reflects on how persistence and adaptability shape his career as an actor, musician, and producer. Together, we unpack what it means to build a strong foundation within yourself to fuel your journey and inspire others along the way.
