How might ethno-science fiction reinforce and replicate dominant imaginaries and media ecologies? As seen in Sjoberg's film “Call Me Back,” our collaborations often project scenarios that seem to replicate popular culture narratives of desire for fame, recognition, and commercial success. Although ethno-science fiction can provide a generative, healing space for speculating futures, it tends to act as a “sponge;” it absorbs and reflects all kinds of media and imaginary ecologies that we consume on a daily basis, such as telenovelas, surrealist films, realist films, documentaries, etc. Therefore, projective improvisations sometimes fail to produce alternative forms of imagination. By creating such future-oriented films, we risk releasing stories that reinforce narratives produced by the larger media ecology. We must be cognizant of the way that narratives, dominant or otherwise, emerge through our imaginative and performative work with our interlocutors.

There has only been one you, and there will only ever be one you. That is your competitive advantage.” Billy Samoa Saleebey Worst investment everBilly had a great job at Tesla, arguably, the most disruptive company on the planet. He had worked in the corporate world for about 10 years. Billy truly enjoyed doing sales, and it came easy for him. He loved being real, honest, and speaking from the heart. And so his career blossomed. Enjoying the safety net for far too longBilly was very fortunate to get multiple roles in leadership and management. He moved from manager to director during the 10 years. Billy’s position was a relatively high and prominent one at a global level. He had a team in Asia, North America, and Europe. He felt good about his career and never saw an exit point from it. He was happy. His role becomes obsolete suddenlyIn January of 2019, it was decided that Billy’s role was unnecessary because there were team leaders in North America, Europe, and Asia. And so his position was eliminated. Billy admits that though this came as a shock to him, it was a relief in many ways. He had known that he was ready to go out on his own for a long time, but he just never put in the time to figure out what exactly he was going to do. Making his worst investment everAfter Billy was relieved of his duties, he decided to take his stocks and parlay them into more money. At the time, he had zero experience in the stock market. But he chose to learn day trading. He did it for about a month and made about 40 grand by making a few short trades. This made Billy get this false sense of early success. Feeling confident, Billy cashed in his Tesla shares. He had over 1,000 Tesla shares, which he cashed for $300 a share. Now, had Billy not touched those shares, they would be worth almost $4 million today. While Billy’s poor investment decision cost him a lot of money, what he feels was wasted was the time he spent doing day trading. He spent the next six months day trading after he cashed his Tesla shares, and he never quite made much in return. He regrets that those are six months he would have spent building his business. Lessons learnedTime is more precious than any amount of moneyMake sure that you always spend your time wisely. When you dedicate your time to anything, make sure it is fulfilling in the long term, and not a shortcut that you think will give you a quick benefit. If you make a wrong turn, fret not, you can always pivotIf, for some reason, you find yourself doing something that you are not passionate about and you are struggling with it, stop and pivot. It is never too late to start doing what you have always wanted to do. Just make a hard pivot now, and you can make up for the lost time. Andrew’s takeawaysInvest your time in long-term thingsIf you want to invest your time and money into something, make sure it will bring you long-term benefits. Listen to your gut and

Billy Samoa Saleeby is the President & Founder of Insight Media and host of the business podcast "Insight Out." His natural curiosity for storytelling and asking questions is what led him to starting his podcast in late 2019. He wanted to explore those moments of insight with people that he admires.

And those pivot points have been monumental and significant. In this episode, Billy talks about how to find success in LinkedIn, podcasting and in life by using grit - the one thing that separates those who do amazing things, and those that only dream and hope to do amazing things.
