Travel to places far off the typical tourist track – think Iraq, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia – is an increasingly common theme here on No Blackout Dates. As the founder of Untamed Borders, a tour operator that hosts guided trips to places like Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Yemen, and elsewhere, James Wilcox knows more about the logistics of visiting often misunderstood destinations than perhaps anyone. James has built an entire business around creating itineraries for intrepid travelers looking to explore countries we often perceive to be dangerous or inaccessible. James discusses how Untamed Borders plans and executes trips to dangerous locales, including his thoughts on state department warnings and how seriously they should be taken. He also talks about the important role of tourism in helping places impacted by war and other disasters get back on their feet. In Hot Takes, Tim and Eben break down the times they've felt unsafe on the road, as well as the countries they really want to visit in order to gain a deeper understanding than what's presented by the mass media. Relevant links: Untamed Borders US State Department Travel Advisories NEOM Is on Track To Be the World's First “Sustainable” City.

On this episode, I'm joined by James Wilcox, who has been investing since 2012. James is a buy and hold investor in Kentucky. And he is a power user on the stessa platform. Alright, let's get into it.   James, thank you so much for joining us.   James: Yeah, thank you so much for having me. I'm really excited to be here and share a little bit of my real estate investing knowledge and journey with all your listeners.   Tom: Awesome. I'd love to go back to the beginning. But before we do that, let's start with one of your best days as a real estate investor. So can you think of a day that stood out like, Wow, it's so awesome being a real estate investor XYZ happened? That'll be my opener, upper question.   James: Yeah. So I mean, that's a really great question. And, actually, I've had a lot of great days, but I really want to focus on like, my best day was also probably my worst day possible, during my whole journey. So a little bit kind of background on that I purchased my first property back in late 2012. And through that process, you know, everybody's got to work with contractors and kind of get the property back up to snuff, so to speak, this one had a lot of deferred maintenance on it.   So I did some of the work myself, but I had to call in a GC to do like some more of the heavy lifting. And like we redid the foundation and stuff like that things that I couldn't personally do. And I'm not really a big, super good handyman, I might know how to do it, but making it go from my brain   Tom: Know enough to be dangerous   James: for my brain to the hand, you know, it gets mixed up a little bit. But so I had hired someone to come in and do some of those things. And whenever we got toward the end of the project in 2013, they had kind of basically skipped out on a lot of the punch list items. So I was left with a property that was you know, probably like 80% done of where I wanted it to be. And so I work a full time job. And at that time, you know, like I said, I'm not super skilled at handyman type stuff. And so I'm going over there, you know, after five at night, and also working when I can on the weekends and stuff to try and get this property back up and back on the market at the time we had wanted to sell it ended up becoming a rental. And that's kind of how the journey got started.   But I'm over there and had no power on at the house, and no lights or anything. So I'm sitting there basically, like late at night trying to get things done, I'm sweating, because there's no HVAC on anything like that. And I just just Yeah, really, really frustrated because I had this giant punch list of things to do. And it just seemed extremely overwhelming.   So I just took them in and just sat down. I won't say that I shed a few tears. But it definitely got very emotional because it just felt so overwhelming have so many things to do. But right then and there is when I decided that I wasn't going to give up. And then I was going to get this across the finish line. It did take a little bit longer. But that's when I decided that real estate investing was for me because of the challenge of it. And that's why I ended up being my best day because that's the day that I chose not to give up.   Tom: I love it. So you kind of came into it, you know, and then really kind of got put in the burner and tough situation with the property need a lot of work and just committed to it.   James: Yeah, trial by fire is definitely how I've succeeded.   Tom: I love it. So now kind of going a little bit backward. What How did you initially get into real estate was it? Did you have friends or family or I'd love to hear about how your initially got going into the into the space?   James: Yeah, so I had no real estate background or no real direct family that was involved in real estate. my story's a little bit on the sadder side. I had had my father passed away when I was a senior in college. And we had always lived with my grandmother. And she ended up going downhill soon right after that. And so she had passed away that put me next in line for her home. And even though there was, you know, some debt to pay off and things like that some medical bills and things such I did end up sharing half the house with my uncle.   My uncle has also had health problems at the time too. So I just felt like at the time it was such a burden on him to try to figure out what to do with this house that had just seen a lot of deferred maintenance. My grandmother did not like people coming over and fixing things you know and stuff and that was the house the first property. And so I ended up buying out him we agreed on a price and since I own half I gave him you know, a portion to buy out his house, so I did own a home, you know, free and clear, but it wasn't exactly the best quality home by any means.   So whenever I started doing that he did some napkin math, you watch HGTV, oh, it's fine, you know, throw some paint, you know, rip up these nice gold, shag carpets, you know, and do all that and just put it up on the market and I'll make some money. Well, that didn't, you know, obviously pan out really well. And you heard a little bit of that background of that story with some GC problems and the project taking way longer than I needed to, you know, the yard got so high that I was getting letters from the city, you know, and I had to go over there and mow it and is basically up to my shoulders and things like that and, you know,   Tom: Just grow a corn maze.   James: Yeah, yeah, it ended up being just, you know, a big long process. But because of that trial by fire, I ended up keeping pushing forward with it. And I did get the property back up into a shape that I was happy with. And once I did the actual numbers on it, and had someone a real estate agent, come look at it and stuff. At the end of the day, it looked like I was gonna maybe breakeven on it, and probably lose a little bit as well. And someone else had come up to me and was like, well, you should rent it out. Because the market over here, there's always demand for rental properties and stuff. And he's like, okay, yeah, well, that kind of maybe kind of fits more my personality anyway, because we don't really do a whole lot of flipping, you know, it just makes my stomach turn, trying to figure out what first time homebuyers want, you know, and paint colors and tile and all these types of things, you know, I like clean and functional, but still looking nice and stuff.   So I was like, well, I'll try that for a little bit. And I ended up managing that property from a distance, since it was in a different city than I lived in for a little while. And when I got that first rent check for my first renter in the mail, because that's how we did it back then. And it was just amazing feeling it was just like, man, I didn't do anything this month, and I actually got a check. You know, I own the property at this point, you know, free and clear and everything like that. So it was really great. And it just took off from there.   Tom: That Mailbox money. So that's a that's incredible. So you you inherit this property and buy it out. And you know, it's great with real estate, you now have options, having options to either sell or to buy or sell or to keep it as a rental and just identify that as a better hold property. How quickly Are you know, what was your kind of next step after getting that initial property check in the mail? Was it oh, you know, this is pretty awesome, I want to add some more properties. I'd love to hear how it evolved from you kind of strategy and all that good stuff.   James: Yeah, so that first property is always going to be your hardest. And that one took, you know, several years to pretty much get lined out from the actual purchase to the rehab to actually even getting it rented out. And I had kept that same tenant for a little while. And then they ended up leaving and I gotten another tenant and kind of did on my own more or less for that for a little while a couple of years. And during that time, I consider that kind of more when I started to delve into more the background and the education trying to work out to improve my processes and things. And I'd really dug into it a little bit when I first purchased the property. But whenever it was me being on the front lines, being the property manager, I knew I really needed to step up my game, then, but I had always been a fan of bigger pockets. And I've been on that website for a very long time. And I've been a permanent member for a very long time as well.   And So basically, during those couple of years of me being the property manager, I really took the time to read a bunch of books. I mean, I've read probably every single one of them out there, or listen to them through audible and stuff. And then I browse the forums, you know, on bigger pockets, you know, anything, I can find YouTube and stuff to make myself a better real estate investor. And then so once those couple of years have passed, and I felt a little more confident that I knew a little bit more, that's when I pulled some money out of the properties or that property and then went on to buy a lot of more small multifamily. And that's really what we focus on right now. You know, duplexes, triplexes four-plexes type stuff?   Tom: That's fantastic. Yeah, love the BiggerPockets communities is a great resource for for folks. I'd love to hear about your use of Stessa. So having a couple of properties. When did you first hear about it? You know, how do you use it? Why do you use it love to hear you just kind of talk about your relationship with that software?   James: Yeah, Stessa has been great. Back when everybody first get started, you have no accounting whatsoever.   Tom: Back of the napkin Yeah,   James: So I just started out, you know, just like everybody else with no accounting whatsoever. I did switch over to kind of using Excel a little bit for a while trying to keep track of you know, the rental coming in expenses, stuff like that. But I'm a very data driven visual type person. So I love charts and graphs, and everything and tracking everything possible. So then at that time, I had switched over to an online software that was much better at tracking metrics, and kept me a lot more organized. I'm not in actually a very organized person, my wife will definitely tell you that I have a bunch of paperwork, I keep tons of paperwork on stuff just because I like having the, the physical and the data but…   So that property management software, it had property management and kind of the accounting built in. It's called rentec. Direct. And back then it was very, they've had a refresh since then. But there was very old school feeling like it provided you with a lot of tools and bells and whistles, but it just just looked really old. I did, I did like it, it was something I paid for, you know, a small bid monthly for. But I did want something a little bit more visual, something that I can also import the data into, like using Excel. And I was spending a lot of time still in that program. Typing all the transactions in manually. And I didn't like that, because it was taken a lot of time to do that. And back in 2017 is probably when I switched over to Stessa and started, you know, importing the data and more trying to automate things a lot more. And it's been great ever since then for that.   Tom: Awesome. That's great. I'd love to you know, you talked a little about doing property management yourself. Are you still managing your properties? Or have you you pulled in some some third party property management lift that burden?   James: Yeah. So that very first property is the only one that I actually property managed myself. Once we had graduated up and started buying those small multi families that we do now. I immediately switched over to third party property management, and the fun story of how I actually decided to do that. So I Live in Lexington, Kentucky, which is central Kentucky, and that property was in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, and that's about a 45 minute drive one way it was, you know, where I grew up and everything like that, but well out of the way whenever there was, yeah,   Tom: Little out of the way.   James: Little out of the way 45 minutes, you know, mostly Interstate, but to get there door to door. And with you being the property manager, sometimes you're the one going over your boots on the ground, you know, you're solving problems and fixing things. So I had had a tenant call me in the winter, and they said we can't get the heat to work. So anybody who's been in property management knows that. If the heats not working, and it's cold outside, that is the number one red flag priority you need to address that.   Tom: Yeah safety.   James: Yeah absolutely. So like 100%. Let me go come over. I'll be over there. 45 minutes, drive all the way over there. I look at the thermostat. It's that cold.   Tom: Oh, geez.   James: So I went over there, flip the switch to heat, it turned on immediately start heating up the house, so and then. So I was like, Oh, man. So I got back in the car. And I'm driving all the way back 45 minutes, you know, cold outside snow and all that type of stuff. And it was just like, yeah, I need to get property management. That was the moment that I decided that because I like that is not worth my time. And I ended up getting another tenant and they had called me, you know about that? Around the same time, too. And I told them, I was like, yeah, that thermostats a little tricky. Like, you just need to switch it from cold heat. And that'll solve it. And sure enough, it was at least I learned my lesson, you know, but it did take me a little while to find a property manager that I felt like I could trust over there. And I went through even a couple property managers throughout our career in real estate investing, but the ones that we have now, I'm super happy with. Tom: Yeah, I think that's something you know, in in using third party property managers, oftentimes, you know, at some point, you know, it might make sense to look around. If it's not, you know, meeting what you're looking for. Would you give any advice in selecting a property manager in your, you know, experience and having interviewed and selected and then re selected property managers?   James: Yeah, absolutely. your property manager is going to be by far, I think, the best key person on your team. So you really need to have a great property manager, whether you're investing out of state or investing locally, having the good boots on the ground, and someone who's got great systems in place, is definitely going to be a key to finding a great property manager. I think probably one of the best things that when the interview in property managers is to really see how many properties they do manage, and what various types of properties that they do manage. Are they mostly A class single family, or are they large multifamily, maybe they only do apartment complexes and find the one that's going to fit best with you.   Really a good property manager is going to have great communication with your tenants and with you being the owner. And anybody who's got great systems in place, you know, we're going to do a counting, we can send it to you PDF, Excel, you know, you're going to get it this time of the month. You're going to get your deposits this time of the month. You know, ask them about everything that they do on the day to day, and if they got good answers to those questions, they're probably going to beright for you.   Tom: I love that in just in wrapping up the same type of properties that you have and making sure that they can they have experienced them, you don't want to be the the test dummy into it. Kind of a related question. I'd love to. I'd love to give your hear your feedback. Looking back. What's one thing that you wish you had known when you first started investing in real estate?   James: Yeah, so my number one   Tom: What's a tip that you would give the 2012 version of yourself, but what would be the tip?   James: Yeah, so whenever I first got that property, as working on it, and stuff, I really treated it more as a hobby. So it was just kind of like, Oh, yeah, I'll go over there, you know, knock out a few things are, I'll work on it on the weekend, it's like, that was a mistake, I needed to treat it like a business from day one. And I needed to know that, with that property being vacant, it's costing me money, you know, and I need to really get the ball moving on that. And if it means me not being the person doing the boots on the ground, doing the work, you know, changing out the light switch covers, doing electrical, or cleaning, and all that type of stuff, and just paying the extra money and hire someone else out to do it, if they can get it done that much faster, is gonna be better on your profit margin.   You know, like, it's, especially with single family, it's a lot of feast or famine. So if that property's rented out, and there's no problems, no repairs, things like that, you're good, once it's vacant, and your vacancy rate, you know, is 100% on that. So it's like, you really need to get those turned over quickly and get them re rented back out and where I'd kind of him hauled around about on it and treated it more as a hobby and just like something I did in my spare time, which is fine. I think everybody needs a side hustle and things like that to motivate them. But if I treated it like a business, from day one, I would be so much better off and actually having, you know, better accounting, being a great part of that too, you know, and not just having horrible accounting.   I, tax time was always horrible for me. And only recently, in probably the last five years or so do I feel like I've gotten in a really good space? And stessa? You know, would be definitely big key to that. But I would spend tax time, you know, always file for extensions to get more time. And then you know, it's been just hours and hours and hours of going through receipts and   Tom: Digging it up.   James: Yeah, yeah, I tried to go through it all. And it just was not not good experience and even West. So like how you are there's other programs too, that do that where you can take a picture of the receipt, and it scans it in. Like that's so he, I feel because like a lot of those papers and receipts and stuff after a year like the inks disappeared on it. Good luck going back trying to figure out what that was, or which property it went to, or even how much it was or anything like that. So definitely treat it like a business from day one.   Tom: James, how important would you say the the social aspect and what I mean by that of real estate investing is like mentorship, mentoring, I don't know that you're a part of any masterminds. But I'd love to hear kind of your thoughts on I know, the general the importance of having a community as an investor.   James: Yeah, I think community is super important. And that's why I'm so actively involved here in central Kentucky, and developing other real estate investors. I help run a local organization here, that meets through Facebook and doing local meetings. And we do try to do them once a month. You know, this is COVID time. So some of the in person meetings, you know, aren't happening. But I have done a lot of live streams throughout 2020, especially over different topics to help educate people on various topics with real estate investing.   I'm also president of a nonprofit landlord organization back in Mount Sterling, Kentucky as well. So with being so involved in local community, I cannot stress how important it is for you to surround yourself by those that are like minded and those that are willing to help you.   I had a mentor when I first started, he was a local commercial broker. And they were the large commercial broker here in Lexington. And I started working with him back when I was thinking about buying into the small multifamily and stuff. And he really told me that whenever we were successful, that we needed to pass that on to others. And I've definitely tried to keep that close to heart and tried to stick with that. And that's why we're so involved in trying to help others teach them how to be successful in real estate investing as well. But I think just if you can find anyone locally, that is a real estate investor, they will definitely talk your ear off and be more than happy to share information with you and try to educate you because we all feel pretty much in this community that real estate investing. And buying properties are what's going to help set you up long term. And especially it's going to be great for your own retirement and personal wealth generation.   So we're just having an abundance mindset, especially here in central Kentucky and in our group. So we're more than happy to share with you, anything to help you to be successful and I guarantee there's so One near where you are locally anywhere, that would be more than happy to do that as well. So you need to go find those people.   Tom: That's fantastic. And I, you know, I think one of the being involved in some mastermind and mentorship groups, I think it's, that's one of the best ways is to learn it is to teach it, you know, and talking about it and thinking through and it's a, it's a sanity check. It's an accountability aspect. On some of the meetups. I'd be curious, like, what are some of the topics that you guys discuss at the real estate investing meetups?   James: Yeah, so our group is definitely the core of it is for networking. So a lot of the Facebook group example is contractors, local vendors, things like that real estate agents, wholesalers, real estate investors that are buy & holds like myself, short term rental property managers, you know, short term rental investors, things like that. So we cover various topics, it can be anything from having the police department come out or fire department and give you you know, public safety type things that you can do in your properties.   We do like a short term rental one every year that I have a panel, I usually try to get several people from various types of short term rentals, whether they be building their own homesteads, you know, and glamping, and tree houses. And then we have Red River Gorge nearby here that has a lot of cabin rentals, but I do some myself. So I do urban rentals, mostly like city focused ones. We've had wholesaler meetings, we've had real estate agents on home inspectors, you insurance. And basically anything that you can think of that has to do with real estate in any way, shape, or form, probably at least covered at once.   Tom: That's awesome. That sounds like an awesome community that you have in central Kentucky. I'd love to hear you kind of speak to the central Kentucky market. As you know, this is a kind of a national audience. You know, what would be your you know, Top Reasons to invest in central Kentucky.   James: So I'm in Lexington specifically. And I think Lexington can be a really great market, I work with a lot of out of state investors, you know, just given them advice as well. So I'm glad that you brought that up. I think Lexington in particular, and central Kentucky in general, can be a great market just because our price points are a lot lower. I know some people are probably listening here from California and stuff. So like your your dollar can go a lot further here in general.   Also, with us being the intersection between 75 and 64 split. Lexington itself is a good place for businesses to start up, because they can get on the interstate and go north to south, east to west very easily. And Lexington in particular, I think is a very strong market. We do have we are a college town. We're a foodie town, we're actually voted as one of the best entrepreneur cities in the country. Easy for startups and things like that. So I think that Lexington it has something very unique about it that you don't find in any other city really in the US and that we have what's called an urban service boundary, which is basically the area outside of a circle of the city cannot be developed without consent from the city.   So basically, if anybody that's familiar with Kentucky, and Lexington, there's probably a couple of things that come to mind. And it's basketball, bourbon and horses. So in a way for us to protect our natural resource of the land for the horses, for the city boundaries itself to expand, they have to get authorization to do that. And they only look at that every five years. So land becomes a little more crucial here in Lexington.   So it's kind of got built in appreciation in a way. So right now we're not looking at expanding the city boundaries. So the city is working itself on what's called infill, so basically vacant land and stuff that's within that city sector and they're looking to develop and stuff so if you own any basically a home anywhere in Lexington, since land is at a premium, you're going to have some built in appreciation just right on top of there much less the market itself.   Lexington if anybody's familiar with Kentucky in general, most of the jobs are in Northern Kentucky near Louisville, Cincinnati area or in central Kentucky and then you'll have some out west and kind of the Bowling Green Viduka area. But Eastern Kentucky itself doesn't provide a lot of opportunities for a lot of people. It can be like a lot of one stoplight towns are kind of poor town. So a lot of the younger people do tend to want to kind of move away from those areas and they usually end up kind of in that first stop in the central Kentucky area.   Georgetown itself is this Sitting next to Lexington is the fastest growing city in Kentucky by far, population wise. It holds a Toyota being a big manufacturing job there. Basically every Toyota that's coming off the line is coming right here from Central Kentucky, to Lexington, Georgetown Frankfurt, Louisville area, they're kind of all on a strip, you know, going to the interstate there. And with Lexington being right next to Georgetown. You know, Central Kentucky is just hot as can be.   Tom: Yeah, I mean, universities, blue chip companies. Would you say Kentucky is fairly investor friendly? You know, I don't know, it's a term that's thrown around. But as it relates to, you know, landlording laws and taxes and all that.   James: Yeah, I would say Kentucky definitely in general is very landlord friendly. It's very investor friendly as well, you know, our taxes aren't near as high as places like New York, New Jersey, California. So we're definitely very positive on that. So Lexington itself got a great diversity in the job market as well. We got high amount of jobs and health care education with UK and a lot of the universities that are around to you. And high tech jobs to like we have Lexmark headquarters here. We got Valvoline headquarters here. And then Toyota, like I said in Georgetown as well, and we have tons of manufacturing and stuff jobs. And then you also have the farming jobs too, as well with when it comes to the horse industry means that it like a king land or on the horse farms themselves.   So I think that makes Lexington and central Kentucky just in general, just a strong market, just from the job perspective, either.   Tom: Awesome.   James: I want to give like one more tip, just for anybody out there. So I think there's four things for you to be successful in life. And that could be in real estate, investing your work or anything like that. And so I call it so you want to be the GOAT, right? The greatest of all time, everybody knows that. So there's those four things and those four letters there that I really want to drive home. So G, you got to have grit you got to power through whenever times are tough. And that's something that I've learned about that that best worst day ever, you know, that grit   Tom: In the dark with a big punch list?   James: Yep. Yeah, you just gotta power through sometimes. And sometimes life's gonna hand you just a bad hand, and you just got a pat on the through. So that's the one key thing that you need to keep going, you know. O, you got to have opportunity recognition. Whenever there's opportunity that's presented to you, you got to really know your numbers, and know exactly when Lady Luck is kind of smiling down on you. So being able to know for real estate, knowing your market, knowing your price points that you need to hit. Just that opportunity recognition is so key for you to be successful.   And then A, you got to take action. One of these days, you can even read as many books as you want to read as many forums, but in the day, you got to jump in the deep end. You know, you got to crack some eggs to be successful and you got to take that action.   And T,  you got to do training. You always got to be re educating yourself. Keep learning something new, and keep training yourself to be better.   Tom: James, I love that. Did you come did you come up with that acronym?   James: I did. I did.   Tom: That's really good. We're totally gonna reference you but like, give the James James Wilcox. GOAT acronym. That's fantastic.   James: Appreciate it.   Tom: Yeah. Awesome. And one last time where can people reach out to you watch on YouTube, all that good stuff.   James: Yeah, so I have a YouTube channel. It's called REI James. So basically the acronym real estate investing James, and you can also reach out to me on Instagram at ReiJamesWilcox.   Tom: Awesome. Thanks, James.   James: Hey, thanks very much.

In Part 1 of my conversation with college student (and now graduate) Austin Coburn we discussed the many pitfalls that so many young, ambitious creatives fall into when they enter the working world hoping to “make it.” Today's conversation is part 2 of our conversation, and in today's episode we flip the script and Austin interviews me from the perspective of a college student who is interested in creating better habits for both a successful career and a healthy lifestyle at the same time (Spoiler alert: The two do not have to be mutually exclusive). We talk about habits and strategies for working better and living healthier both in college and after graduation. And we discuss the important life skills that aren't taught in film school but are necessary to survive & thrive in the entertainment industry. This conversation will not only benefit recent graduates but anyone looking to improve their decision making skills and enhance their well being and creativity through the development of proper habits and systems. One quick caveat: This interview was recorded a few years ago back in the Fitness in Post days. Austin has since graduated and you can find links to his most recent work on Instagram.

Every year at this time there is an influx of energetic and passionate young filmmakers as they graduate from college ready to take on the world and become the next great filmmaker. Most graduates (including myself) enter their career ready to take on the world and do whatever it takes to "make it" in the industry, including: Working ridiculously long hours, Consistently staying up all night, Taking on multiple jobs... Saying ‘Yes' to everything (because you never know if another opportunity will ever come along). This was my mentality as well, until it inevitably led to my first massive bout of BURNOUT. Today's guest, college student (and now graduate) Austin Coburn, began to notice that his all nighters and fast food eating habits were not the proper fuel for long-term success. His curiosity about finding work-life balance led him to talking to other students and professionals in filmmaking about their experiences, and he was so inspired by this topic he turned it into a documentary. Because he was an avid listener of my ‘Fitness In Post' podcast at the time, he reached out to me to be an interview subject for the film, and I found his questions and his perspective so engaging I wanted to invite him to be a guest on this show to share the student's point of view, one I don't get to share too often on this show. This episode is part one of a two-part conversation. In part 1 I interview Austin about his experiences and the challenges he will face upon graduation. And in part two, we flip the script and I become the interviewee. Both parts of the conversation offer a fresh perspective on an important topic that most of us grapple with regardless of what stage we are in our career. One quick caveat: This interview was recorded a few years ago back in the Fitness in Post days. Austin has since graduated and you can find links to his most recent work on Instagram. Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One? » Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here's What You'll Learn: Why Austin decided to make a documentary on work life balance. Austin spent his high school years on the computer editing his projects and wore his all nighters as a badge of honor. He ate a lot of fast food and decided to go vegetarian to force himself to eat healthier. What he learned from students he interviewed about their view on the demands of the industry. The perception of what it takes to "make it in the industry". Why students develop bad working habits while they're in school and how they carry over into their careers. Why it's dangerous to think of the human body as a machine. The dangers of developing bad eating habits while working. How Austin learned to say no. The different ideas of work life balance between students and Hollywood veterans.

After one of the most challenging years in the history of the U.S. education system, district leaders from across the country are cautiously optimistic about the future. This finding comes from a new report from Cambium Learning Group, which reveals results from a survey of more than 100 PreK-12 district leaders across the country. In partnership with research firm Hanover Research, the results show that although there were significant challenges, 75 percent of district leaders believe the COVID-19 pandemic has put them in a better position to solve problems than ever before, signaling that the acceleration of digital tools and need to confront equity issues head-on has made the industry more adaptable.After mandated lockdowns caused school closures across the country in early 2020, education leaders were forced to accelerate the adoption of digital tools to keep learning going while students and teachers couldn't physically be in the classroom. The report, “Education in 2021 + Beyond: How District Leaders Envision the New Normal” details how educators handled the pandemic, the challenges and opportunities presented by education technology and what their attitudes are about the future of education coming out of the pandemic.“Education leaders stepped up in 2020 to make the transition to remote and hybrid learning as seamless as possible,” said John Campbell, CEO of Cambium Learning Group. “Although there were significant challenges — and more lie ahead — it's clear that the response to the pandemic showed the world what is possible when it comes to education technology."District leaders from across the country were surveyed about their process of adopting new education technology, their response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and their feelings about equity issues and the future of education. Key findings include:Beyond absenteeism, the main concern for district leaders throughout the pandemic is figuring out how to best use technology solutions (46 percent). Managing various technology tools was a challenge for 33% of district leaders. This is understandable, as pivoting from in-person learning to virtual learning requires an entirely new way of teaching—no matter how effective and easy-to-use the technology is.When it comes to technology, issues of equity are at the forefront. District leaders cited student (49 percent) and teacher (38 percent) access to edtech as the biggest challenges of a remote learning environment.District leaders were mostly pleased with their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly two-thirds (61 percent) gave themselves a “B.”Learning loss will be a huge obstacle coming out of the pandemic, with 52 percent of district leaders stating it will take six months to a year to recover.Despite the challenges, educators believe there is hope ahead— 75 percent believe that as a result of the pandemic, educators are in a better position to solve problems than ever before.“The key finding that the majority of educators are hopeful about the road ahead was gratifying to see,” said James Wilcox, Senior Director at Hanover Research. “Based on experience working with hundreds of school districts across the nation, we know that they have had one of the most challenging years of their career. But the survey result underscores the resilience and forward-looking vision of educators across the nation.”Additional findings from the survey are available in Cambium's report, which can be downloaded here.This report was commissioned by Cambium Learning Group and fielded by independent research firm Hanover Research in January 2021. The responses were generated from a survey of 103 people ages 18+ who live in the United States, working in the education field with job titles that qualified as district leaders or superintendent.

How many times have you finished a job and felt like you had nothing left in the tank? You gave it everything you had 24/7 thinking to yourself, “I’ll start taking care of myself when the next hiatus comes” only to be cursed by the fact that you’re good at what you do...and that hiatus never appears. You repeat the cycle for months, years, or even decades wondering where all the time went. When you imagine a high-profile award-winning editor like Michelle Tesoro you imagine burnout wouldn't be a problem - that’s just for people struggling to “make it,” right? Given her track record having worked on shows such as House of Cards, Godless, On the Basis of Sex, When They See Us, and most recently The Queen's Gambit, Michelle must have it all figured out. Right??? As you'll hear in part two of my conversation with Michelle, just like us she too often finds her tank completely empty at the end of a project. In part 2 of our conversation (here’s part 1 if you missed it), we specifically examine the question of what is leaving her so drained. Michelle is incredibly open, honest, and brave to share her challenges maintaining such a demanding career while balancing it with friends and family, and she even allows me to put her on the ‘Hot Seat’ to really dig into what is driving her to still work so hard at this level of her career (Spoiler Alert: Even she fears missing out on the next gig). One key takeaway from this interview that I hope everyone understands is that greater success does not make career and lifestyle decisions any easier. In fact, if anything, it's the opposite. It becomes harder to say no and the fear of missing out never goes away. P.S. If you missed part 1, you don't need to listen to it first to understand this conversation. But I do recommend you listen to part one if you’d like to hear Michelle talk about her career path and what has driven her success.

I’ve spent my entire career wondering what the difference is between those who simply string along one job after another to pay the bills and those who have extraordinary resumes, amazing credits, and award-winning careers. You might assume it's some combination of God-given talent, luck and hard work. If you've listened to me for any amount of time, you know I consider "luck" to be a four letter word (so that’s out), but I do believe talent and hard work absolutely play a role when it comes to success. However, I think the difference for those who reach the highest levels is that they are simply playing a totally different game than everyone else. Most people are playing a game of checkers...the best of the best are playing chess. Today's guest, ACE editor, Michelle Tesoro has worked on critically acclaimed shows such as House of Cards, Godless, On the Basis of Sex, When They See Us, and most recently The Queen's Gambit. Rather than talk about her creative process editing The Queen's Gambit, Michelle and I take a different approach in this conversation and discuss the metaphor of chess as life and how you can apply a long-term, more strategic chess-like approach to your career. Michelle and I had such an in-depth conversation that I've made it a two-part series. In this first part we discuss how Michelle chooses the projects & people she works with, and we discover how there is a common theme running through much of her work that keeps her engaged and passionate (despite the arduous nature of the projects she takes on). Michelle also shares what she believes to be her greatest assets and soft skills (outside the editing timeline) that have led to her tremendous success in Hollywood. Finally, I am keenly aware that Michelle has been making the rounds on the podcast circuit, but rest assured no matter what you’ve listened to already this very candid conversation covers fresh ground with stories you definitely haven’t heard on other shows. And you don't want to miss part 2 next week where I put Michelle on the hot seat to discuss the challenge of balancing her career with the rest of her life.

If there's one story regular listeners of this show have heard a lot, it's the story of how I got my first television editing the #1 show on cable at the time - Burn Notice (having ZERO television experience at the green age of twenty-nine). I tell this story often because it's a great example of how experience doesn't have to be king when it comes to getting jobs. Many of the students in my coaching & mentorship program come to me hoping to make a transition in their career where they have the skills already but they don't have the specific experience. I was in that very same position when I landed my dream job editing Burn Notice. Here to lend a unique perspective to my “Burn Notice story” is ACE Editor Steve Lang, the catalyst for getting that job. Steve has cut over 120 hours of television in the past 24 years and worked on such shows as The Practice, The Gifted, Preacher, Rectify, and Manifest, to name just a select few. He took an unusual path to becoming an editor having held every role in the post-production department at one point or another. This experience gives him a well-rounded point of view of hiring editors and assistants and best practices for advancing your career...without getting pigeonholed. This interview has been a long time coming, as I've been trying to get Steve on the show for years!!! Our conversation ended up going so deep that we made it a two-part interview. In this first part, you'll hear how I got the job on Burn Notice from Steve's perspective while also hearing the skills vs experience argument from someone on the hiring side. You'll learn how Steve has managed to jump genres and show formats throughout his career, and why he's always trying to help advance other editors and assistants that prove their worth. And make sure you come back next week for round 2 when we take a deep dive into his philosophy on editor's cuts and the playbook he gives to all his assistants to ensure they get a seat in the editor's chair.

Steve's unusual path to becoming an editor (that included working EVERY role in television post-production). How he realized editing was a better fit for him rather than writing, which was his original goal. How his path crossed with Russell Crowe and what he learned from him. His experience working on The Practice and the opportunities that brought to his career through editing and producing. What editors don't understand about the job of being a producer in a post-production department. Steve explains his vast and varied resume of seemingly unrelated shows and genres that keep him from getting pigeonholed. What he has learned when hiring editors as supervising editor and how he gets people to listen to him. The difference between skills and experience and how it's not always the experience that gets you hired. How he helped James Wilcox get the job on Genius when he wasn't available for it. Why he always wants to share jobs and give recommendations when he's not available for work.

[optin-monster slug="u1u6n4yv97rxxz4icynf"] Guest Bio: Steven Lang was born and raised in Stony Brook, New York on Long Island. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1992, but his real education began the six years he spent working at a video store from the age of sixteen to twenty-one. It was there where his love of movies began and planted the seed that the entertainment business was where his passion lies. He moved out to California two weeks after graduating college without a single contact or connection to pursue his dream and never looked back. One of his first industry job was at a TV movie production company that owned their own Avid editing systems and gave him the opportunity to learn his craft. Self-taught, he literately opened up the Avid manual and started from page one. He spent many late nights and weekends learning the system and editing anything he could get his hands on. Eventually, he was given the opportunity to assist on a TV movie, and his editing career was born. Twenty-four years later, Steven has edited over 120 hours of television while working with many of the top Writers/Producers/Directors/Creators in the industry including David E. Kelley, Billy Crystal, David Milch, Steven Bochco, Ridley & Tony Scott, Jerry Bruckheimer, Ray McKinnon, Larry Charles, Ben Watkins, and Matt Nix. He most recently edited the pilot and season 1 for the "Turner & Hooch" reboot for Disney+ directed by McG.

» Click to read the full transcript There is at least one point in our lives when we make the stark realization that we no longer enjoy what we do. The passion has long-since gone, and we’re only there for the paycheck. This is what I call “The Comfort Trap.” There are few discoveries more terrifying in your career than when you realize you are just “comfortable.” Once you decide it’s time to make a major transition, you then have to confront the fact that you’ve most likely spent much (if not all) of your career making stuff yet you’ve never focused on the soft skills of selling yourself. In the 21st century gig economy, whether you like it or not - YOU ARE A BUSINESS. And your business is selling your creative services. It doesn’t matter how awesome your work is if nobody knows you are awesome. My guest today is editor of twenty years (and longtime friend & colleague) Joaquin Elizondo, who has adapted to change faster than most people I know and transitioned between multiple genres to land where he is now editing projects that creatively fulfill him. In our conversation Joaquin and I talk about his journey across multiple mediums, genres, and even different parts of the country to land his dream job editing Narcos: Mexico. We discuss the mindsets he uses to combat perfectionism and procrastination (which in my opinion are frankly one in the same). And we go deep into the reasons why helping others and building communities is so necessary, especially within our current times. Whether you are looking for a mentor, career advice, or a new best friend, Joaquin is an amazing resource who is also the founder of Hollywood Editing Mentor, an amazing site I recommend for anyone looking to escape the comfort trap where you can level up your soft skills as an assistant or editor, learn how to build your network, get career transition guidance, and so much more.

The mentality he used throughout his life that has made him pursue his dreams. Joaquin's approach to mentoring his clients. How he made the mindset shift from being an artist to being a business owner. How embracing the learning process helps him get over perfectionism. KEY TAKEAWAY: Redefine the term “expert” to being just one step ahead of someone else and you can provide value to lots of people. KEY TAKEAWAY: You'll never succeed if you don't take action. The story of his first paid mentoring client and the feeling he got from that success. What unique qualities Joaquin brings to the table from his 20 years of editing experience.

“Success is never a straight line.” – Agustin Rexach If there’s one sure thing about Hollywood, it’s that no single path to success exists. Unlike doctors, lawyers, or accountants, Hollywood doesn’t provide you a roadmap of simple steps that if you follow, do the work, and produce results, you’ll become successful. There are so many paths to be taken and many more to be forged, and although the roads vary for everyone, the more I break down people’s success stories, I have discovered there are unwavering constants: Consistency. Perseverance. (Most Importantly) A willingness to help others. Today’s guest, Agustin “Auggie” Rexach, has worked on such shows as From Dusk Till Dawn, Hawaii 5-0, the 2016 remake of Roots, and two seasons of Genius for National Geographic (here is Auggie’s full IMDb page), and the unique path he has forged throughout his varied career is the absolute embodiment of these qualities. Coming to Hollywood from the island of Puerto Rico, Auggie had every reason to believe he’d never make it in the film industry, and in this episode, he and I go deep into what it means to live by these qualities and how putting others first is often the fastest path to success. In addition to talking about how he got where he is today as a highly successful assistant editor, Auggie also candidly shares his struggles with weight loss and burnout and the steps he’s taken to overcome both. And just because this episode was SO good, here’s a quick spoiler: In addition to his consistency, his perseverance, and his willingness to help others, there was one additional key mindset that has led him to where he is today: “I have the job already. They just don’t know it yet.” If you find yourself questioning whether or not you’ll ever be successful in the entertainment industry, Auggie’s unique path to where he is today is a Masterclass in learning how you can shift your mindset and approach your career from a completely different perspective. Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One? » Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here’s What You’ll Learn: Auggie’s unique origin story, growing up in Puerto Rico and eventually ending up in Hollywood. The internal challenges Auggie faced being a minority and trying to make it in Hollywood. The philosophy Auggie developed early on that has led him to where he is today. The conversation that first inspired Auggie to keep pursuing a career in Hollywood. (This was a huge surprise to me!) How the cut throat mentality of commercial editing houses led him to working in scripted television. What he did to build a great relationship with his first editor, James Wilcox. KEY TAKEAWAY: Having a helping attitude will always build the best relationships. Auggie’s advice on showing enthusiasm and childlike excitement. The important difference between arrogance and confidence and why the ego will always get you in trouble. What the service centric mindset is and how you should use it to approach every job. Why Auggie champions anyone just starting out on their fitness journey and believes it’s never too late to start. The story of how I unknowingly overwhelmed Auggie with fitness information when he joined Fitness in Post in 2014. The step-by-step process Auggie used to get himself healthy and lose weight. Challenges he faced growing up with an alcoholic dad and what he’s learned from that experience. The Instagram quote that inspired Auggie to get his health back in order. Fitness gadgets he cannot live without. How knowing himself better has helped him maintain good habits. KEY TAKEAWAY: Small incremental changes with consistency lead to long lasting health What Auggie means by “Killing Your Clone” and how it’s inspired him to be better each day. KEY TAKEAWAY: Being better at life will make you better at your job. They are not mutually exclusive.

He was born on the island of Puerto Rico and studied communications at Boston University with a concentration in Film Production. After graduating from BU in 1994, Agustin went back to Puerto Rico and started working for a local commercial production company. Over the next two years, Agustin ended up editing some of the island’s top advertising campaigns. His work at this company led to an offer from a post house in Miami. He left the island in 1996 and spent the next eight years in Miami editing commercials, music videos and any independent films he could get his hands on. His next move was to San Antonio, TX where he spent six years as an editor at the city’s premiere post house, 1080. Hollywood kept tugging at him and finally made the move to LA in 2010. In 2014, Agustin broke in to Hollywood as an assistant editor in scripted television. In the years since becoming an assistant editor, he’s worked on shows such as “From Dusk Till Dawn”, “Hawaii 5-0”, the 2016 remake of “Roots”, two seasons of “Genius” for National Geographic and Fox Television. In 2019 and 2020, Agustin had the opportunity to co-edit the season 2 finale of USA television’s “The Purge” and one episode of Showtime’s upcoming Limited Series “The Good Lord Bird”, starring Ethan Hawke.

If you’ve listened to at least an episode or two in the past, then it’s probably no surprise that I pride myself in being a time management ninja. I always say that the great equalizer is that we all have the same 24 hours in a day. But as technology advances and the pace of life gets faster, the expectations of what we can accomplish grow larger. Now with many of us working from home, we’re expected to wear the hat of multiple roles, including assistant editor, IT person, and production assistant on top of our already overloaded duties, all while homeschooling the kids and cooking meals…no wonder we’re exhausted and feeling time pressured! Today’s guest has mastered the art of wearing multiple hats in the entertainment industry. Emmy award-winning editor David Rogers has successfully transitioned from editor to director to producer, all while working on some of the most iconic comedies of our time. His first editing credit came from the famous “clip show” on Seinfeld where he was both assistant editor and editor. He went on to edit on The Office which was where he eventually began directing and producing. He’s also worked on shows such as Newsradio, HBO’s The Comeback& Entourage, The Mindy Project, and his latest project being Netflix’s Space Force. In our conversation (which was originally from a few years back in the Fitness In Post days when David was working on The Mindy Project), David and I break down his path to success (that started with his main job duty being the guy who picked up the cigarette butts off the ground), and dive into what it takes to build and sustain a career like his. You’ll find his passion and energy contagious and come away with a few tips on how to pursue your dreams and manage your time like a ninja as well, not to mention learning how to build the right relationships to make the next major step in your career.

Guest Bio: DAVID ROGERS When David Rogers was 8 years old, he saw Superman The Movie on the silver screen and knew from that point on what he wanted to do with his life. It wasn’t to be a superhero, but rather he was on the path to becoming a Film and Television Director. He shot his own movies with kids from the neighborhood, videotaped Weddings and Bar Mitzvahs on weekends, graduated from Ithaca College with a degree in Cinema and Photography and soon after moved out to Hollywood to make his dream a reality. His first job in television was as the Assistant Editor on Seinfeld and his first solo editing credit was Seinfeld The Chronicle, the clip show which aired right before the season finale. He went on to edit NewsRadio, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, The Comeback, Entourage, and The Office, has directed multiple episodes of the show including the hour-long penultimate episode A.A.R.M., and has directed various other shows including Parks and Recreation, The Mindy Project, The Hard Times of RJ Berger and Friends with Benefits.

For some reason there seems to be this fallacy in Hollywood that someone has to “give you your big break” in order to make it in the industry, and in the meantime you’re just waiting for your big break to appear. The idea that you have to be in the right place at the right time, or worst of all, that you just need to have a lot of “luck” to make your dreams a reality (and you all know how I feel about the “L word”) must be a myth, right? Today’s guest is here to debunk that myth that success is about waiting for opportunity but instead all about making sure no one can outwork you, making sure you are ready for opportunities when they become available, and most importantly never giving someone the opportunity to tell you ‘No.’ James Wilcox is an African-American award-winning editor who’s edited such shows as Dark Angel, My Wife and Kids, Everybody Loves Chris, CSI Miami, Hawaii 5-0, Roots, Genius, and he’s recently completed Ron Howard’s new film Hillbilly Elegy, to literally name just a few. (Seriously, look up his IMDb page). What’s so fascinating about James’ path is that he’s made numerous transitions in his career including cutting news, comedy, drama, historical fiction, and feature films. In addition to such a wide variety of experience, James also sees himself as a pioneer for black editors and talks about the importance of providing mentorship to other people of color. In today’s conversation we cover topics like: How James prepares himself to be ready for opportunities when they are offered Why he sees himself as a pioneer for black editors and the importance of providing mentorship to other people of color The delicate balance of working hard and playing hard And the many stories of how he forged his varied and successful career path including how he became Ron Howard’s editor If you enjoyed my episode with Monty DeGraff, you’re going to love this one. James is talented, funny, and chock full of stories that give you an inside look at how to not only build a successful and inspiring career but also how to mentor others while leaving time and energy for your health and well-being. In short, James has mastered the balance of both working hard and playing hard.

Why James studied acting for 3 and half years when he moved to Los Angeles and how that was part of his journey to scripted television editing and directing. His mantra: “Don’t give anyone a reason to tell you no.” KEY TAKEAWAY: Always be ready and prepared for the next opportunity so when it presents itself you can seize it. His dad’s advice: If you’re thorough you can’t be denied. KEY TAKEAWAY: We all have to ask ourselves how do we get better at fostering diversity and opportunity for people of color in the industry? James believes there is a rapid awakening right now on a global level and the George Floyd murder has inspired activism and change. His passion for mentoring and supporting people of color is a big part of how he hires his assistant editors. One of the key skills his last assistant editor had that he values and appreciates. The unbelievable story of James getting to work with Ron Howard on the Emmy nominated series Genius and then getting to work on his new movie, Hillbilly Elegy.

Wilcox, ACE began his editing career in Atlanta, Georgia in 1982. An opportunity with CBS NEWS in Los Angeles moved James to California where he covered events that ranged from Pope John Paul’s U.S. Tour and the 1984 Olympics to the Reagan-Gorbachev Summit. During his tenure at CBS, James produced and edited the Emmy Award-Winning documentary series, “Lip Sync” which exposed the 1991 Milli-Vanilli Grammy scandal. By 1999, James had transitioned into scripted television with a wide variety of shows including: Showtime’s “Soul Food”, FOX’s “Dark Angel”, Comedy Central’s “Reno 911!”, UPN’s “Everybody Hates Chris”, CBS’s “CSI: Miami,” “Hawaii Five-0” and ABC’s “My Wife and Kids” where he began his directing career. In 2016, Wilcox teamed up with Director Mario Van Peebles on “Roots” which was nominated for an Emmy in Outstanding Limited Series. Following the nomination, Wilcox collaborated with director Ron Howard on Nat Geo’s “Genius” which gained two more Emmy nominations for Outstanding Limited-Series in 2017 and 2018. That January, James took home the ACE Eddie Award for “Best Edited Miniseries or Motion Picture for Television” for his work on “Genius: Einstein.” More recent work by James includes the Netflix series “Raising Dion” starring Michael B. Jordan, as well as the pilot of “Filthy Rich” directed by Tate Taylor (“The Help”, “Ma”) which premieres this year on FOX Television. Currently, James is working again with Ron Howard and Imagine Entertainment, cutting Netflix’s “Hillbilly Elegy” (due for release in 2020). James is an active member of the Motion Picture Editors Guild (MPEG), the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Picture Editors Peer Group, American Cinema Editors, and The Directors Guild of America. On his craft, James has said, “I strive to be the best and tell the story I’d pay to see. When I edit, I won’t settle for just good enough.” Show Credits: This episode was edited by Curtis Fritsch, and the show notes were prepared by Debby Germino and published by Glen McNiel.

Key Links Untamed Borders Group Trip To Madagascar  Support Counting Countries, and check out these trips from G Adventures  Support Counting Countries at Patreon Counting Countries Apparel    I reached out to Melissa shortly after she announced her accomplishment of traveling to every country in the world.  Social media and traditional media began reporting that she was the first woman of South Asian heritage to complete this quest.  On Counting Countries, I am always looking for diverse voices, whether it is nationality, ethnicity, religion, or any other differentiators.  It is great to get other perspectives.     Lemurs, Baobab trees. Come join Counting Countries on its first group tour to Madagascar in August of 2020.  Please reach out to me with any questions on this trip I am reminding you that Counting Countries is partnered with Patreon.  Patreon is a platform that allows patrons, that’s you, to support creators, and that is me creating Counting Countries.  And thanks to my other patrons, Steph Rowe, Ted Nims, Bisa Myles, Ryan Gazder, Stephen Rothwell, and Adam Hickman. They get to listen to extra content, like the extra interview I did with Melissa only for them.   Untamed Borders, the sponsor of Counting Countries, focuses on challenging locations for those chasing 193.  I finally visited Afghanistan In November as an invited guest of Untamed Borders. Co-founder, James Wilcox, spends a couple of minutes asking me about my experiences of exploring this amazing country.       Melissa continually resisted a life of conformity.  Her family, her culture insisted she chart a path of other people’s expectations.  But, the siren call of travel was overpowering. Her eyes were opened to travel with a semester abroad in Argentina when she was 18.  The fire had been lit with the journey ending in her father’s homeland with an emotional visit with her mother. Of course no episode of Counting Countries is without a bit of controversy.  Melissa touches on her visit to Syria, and you will be able to debate at home on the validity of her visit.        I encourage you to subscribe wherever you listen, Apple Podcast, Google Play, or Spotify and write a review, even better when it is 5 stars.     Melissa was at her mother’s home in Michigan, while I was in the Counting Countries studio in Bangkok.  Please listen in and enjoy.    Thank you to my Patrons ….

This week, our librarian friend James Wilcox joins us for a Bond film that really had no right being as good as it was. I mean, they started shooting a Thanksgiving release in April and had no completed script at that time. The whole set seemed chaotic and frantic, yet somehow, Canadian director Roger Spottiswoode managed to piece together a pretty good Bond flick with only one real problem - THE DIALOGUE IS SO BAD. I mean, it’s a pun every 3 minutes or so with little to no meaningful interaction between characters, and it’s just laughable. And those puns - EDIFICE COMPLEX?!?! Still, we’re decently impressed by this movie, and it’s worth rewatching even if it’s one of the sillier entries in the franchise.

“With my life story, I could ask for any antidepressant I want and they would prescribe it to me. Instead, I chose to be an antidepressant.”- Christopher TitusChristopher Titus is quite simply one of the best and funniest comics working today. In addition to having ten stand-up comedy specials to his name he's also an actor, a writer, a director, and producer of TV series, feature films, and he also produces his own daily podcast featuring his infamous “Armageddon Updates.”Though his list of credits and accomplishments may not show it, Christopher Titus has every reason to be a failure. He was raised in what he calls "total chaos" by "a mentally ill genius" who was his bi-polar and schizophrenic mom and an "alcoholic, hardworking badass" who was his dad. He was a D/F student, ran away from home at age 12, and was on a first name basis with the sheriff. Despite the numerous hardships in his earlier years, Titus has taken what most would use as excuses and flipped them around to become his superpowers.In short, Titus has built an incredibly successful career…on his failures.This conversation is a deep dive into what it took for Titus to get to where he is today and succeed in Hollywood. And after throwing him on the ‘hot seat', he makes it public what the next step in his career will be (and when it will happen). If you're familiar with Titus, it's probably no surprise that he holds NOTHING back in this conversation. If you struggle to succeed due to the voices in your head or a dark past that overshadows your present, this episode will flip your mindset and give you a whole new perspective on how to approach your life.Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One?» Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here's What You'll Learn:How Zack & Titus met in Tony Horton's backyard (and the life-changing benefits of challenging each other every Sunday)What is The List?Why I immediately didn't like Titus upon watching his comedy, and the 5 min YouTube video that totally changed my mindHow Lily Tomlin almost made Titus give up comedy completelyWhat he means by "growing a tumor on my soul".The huge risk he took in his comedy act that changed his careerKEY TAKEAWAY: Authenticity is the key to success.How Titus transformed the voices in his head to achieve his goals.How a personal development course led him to create his own tv seriesThe value of naming the critic in your headKEY TAKEAWAY: Positive people in your life help you see what you can't.What Titus views as the worst drugs in the worldLESSON LEARNED: Sometimes the bad answer is the answer you need.The epic story of how Titus' sitcom got canceled.KEY TAKEAWAY: Find out what you're good at and apply it to every aspect of your life.KEY TAKEAWAY: Pick the impossible thing.Useful Resources Mentioned:Christopher Titus - The Word Retard - Voice in My HeadChristopher Titus • Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding • Full Special - YouTubeWatch Special Unit | Prime VideoNukka chiropracticLandmark Forum - Landmark Course Syllabus and Landmark Forum details.Christopher Titus | ComedianChristopher Titus | Titus PodcastChristopher Titus | Tour Dateschristophertitustv - YouTubeContinue to Listen & LearnEp06: Defining Your Purpose and Living Large | with Tony HortonEp60: Getting 1% Better Every Single Day | with Westley Silvestri, ANWEp49: Mastering The Mental Game of Focus | with Kevin Bull, ANWEp115: How to Be So Thorough You Can't Be Denied | with James Wilcox, ACEEp132: How to Pursue Fulfilling Work and Find Your ‘Calling' | with Dr. Tal Ben-ShaharEp105: Ramit Sethi on Forging The Path Towards Your Own ‘Rich Life'Ep162: Stop Waiting For Permission to Make Sh*t Happen | with Mark GanttGuest Bio: Christopher Titus Employing what he's labeled “hard funny,” Christopher Titus is a comedian who has released seven ninety-minute albums in as many years.
