Pastor Nigel Brown calls the church to a prayer revival: praying in the Spirit for strategies, breakthrough, and intimacy with God.https://TakingTheLandPodcast.comSUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE:• ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast⁠: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/⁠• ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify⁠: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• ⁠Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts⁠: https://apple.co/3vy1s5b⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Scripture: Luke 11:1–13; Mark 1:35; Hebrews 7:25; Ephesians 6:18; Jude 20; Romans 8:26–27.Key ideas:• Use the Lord's Prayer as a framework.• Persist when answers delay.• Ask for the Holy Spirit's help to pray God's will.• Let the Spirit give strategy for finances, family, and fruitfulness.• Move from repetition to Spirit-led intercession.Chapters00:00 The Power of Giving02:50 Breaking the Spirit of Poverty06:10 The Cost of True Worship09:05 The Importance of First Fruits11:55 Testimonies of Transformation14:58 The Role of Prayer in Spiritual Growth22:02 Teaching the Art of Prayer25:06 The Necessity of Persistence in Prayer30:03 The Holy Spirit's Role in Prayer37:01 Praying with Authority and Intimacy39:46 Praying in the Spirit46:05 Practical Applications of Prayer52:02 Conclusion and Call to Action

In 1835, a Mormon apostle claimed he met Cain on a Tennessee road. Today, some believers think Bigfoot sightings are actually encounters with the Bible's first murderer, cursed to wander the earth forever. We examine the evidence, the theology, and what this strange theory reveals about ourselves.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: We're diving into one of the strangest theories ever proposed about Bigfoot's identity. We'll explore the Mormon folklore that suggests Sasquatch isn't an undiscovered ape, but rather the cursed son of Adam and Eve, still walking the earth as punishment for murdering his brother Abel. We'll examine the evidence believers cite, as well as the theological problems that make scholars skeptical – and certain podcasters who are skeptical about it too.Whether you're a cryptozoology enthusiast, a student of religion, or just someone who loves a good mystery or strange story, prepare yourself for a journey that blurs the lines between ancient scripture and modern monster sightings.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Lead-In00:01:52.141 = Show OpenPART ONE…00:03:25.269 = The Physical Evidence00:05:25.662 = History Accounts Before Pop Culture00:06:34.417 = The Modern Surge00:08:10.834 = Audio Evidence00:08:58.799 = The Patterson Problem00:10:12.280 = Native Knowledge00:10:57.241 = The Gigantopithecus Theory00:11:43.981 = The Hoax Problem00:12:46.134 = Current Research00:13:43.306 = The Witness Problem00:14:56.692 = The Tennessee TwistPART TWO…00:16:51.597 = The Wandering Curse00:19:07.823 = How A Dead Apostle's Story Survived00:20:50.673 = The Bigfoot Connection Emerges00:22:06.801 = Other Mormon Cain Encounters00:23:19.202 = The Problem of the Flood00:25:32.407 = Modern Believers and Their Evidence00:27:46.665 = The Wanderer Transformed00:28:48.708 = Alternative Theories of Eternal Cain00:30:06.082 = What the Mormon Church Actually Teaches00:31:25.087 = The Persistence of MysteryPART THREE…00:33:14.974 = What Cain Really Teaches Us00:34:38.539 = The Danger of Missing the Point00:35:42.140 = Modern Day Cains Walking Among Us00:36:47.120 = What About Those Who Claim They've Seen Something?00:38:05.741 = The Real Mark You Should Worry About00:39:18.589 = Breaking Free From Your Own Wandering00:40:12.119 = Practical Steps for Daily Victory00:41:56.064 = The Conclusion No One Expects00:45:08.770 = Show CloseSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…https://weirddarkness.com/BigfootAndCain=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, ‘press on' has solved, and always will solve, the problems of the human race. — Calvin Coolidge Yesterday's today's Trade Execution Summary Grid: Receive today's Trade Execution Summary Grid, our Complete Analysis & Predictions of Stocks, Bonds, Gold & Bitcoin, as well as our Trade Execution Instructions by becoming a Patreon Member at any of our three levels of support: https://bit.ly/CWPatreonSupport Sign up at Trading View access my platform and charts: https://www.tradingview.com/?aff_id=136493 How to Set Up Our Three Time Frame Chart on TradingView: https://youtu.be/wLwTnrtAOTA I have opened my page to sharing.

Nadia Cobalovic is Senior Vice President at Northern Trust and Global Head of Omnium Services, where she oversees teams encompassing Middle Office Operations, Back Office Administration and Data Delivery. She also contributes to business growth, strategic initiatives and new initiatives. Our conversation starts with her early career aspirations to be a war correspondent and later, to work in U.S. government agencies. Delays and bottlenecks ultimately led to a forced—but serendipitous—pivot into financial services. What began as a temporary role at Citadel became the start of a dynamic 25+ year journey, one that now finds her leading Omnium Services at Northern Trust—still alongside some of the same colleagues who have been part of her career from the very beginning.We speak then about the evolving world of hedge fund services and how AI, cyber security concerns and changing investor and fund needs are shaping it. Moving to career reflections we discuss the importance of giving credit where it is due – sometimes to oneself, and the joys that working for a supportive team – and together – for over 25 years can bring. With thanks to Baillie Gifford for sponsoring Series 4 of 2025.

Entrepreneurship isn't always about grinding 24/7—and Alex Schlinsky is here to prove it. In this episode of BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, Tyler Jorgenson sits down with Alex, the founder of Prospecting on Demand, a sales coach, author, and proud heart surgery survivor. Alex shares how his childhood in an entrepreneurial family shaped his belief in hard work, resilience, and creating a life outside of the traditional “employee box.”From his early days hustling as a social media marketer before Facebook ads even existed, to cold-calling his way into becoming a certified Miami Dolphins media member, Alex reveals how persistence and boldness defined his start. But he also opens up about the wake-up call that changed everything: open-heart surgery at just 29, when his wife was five months pregnant. That health crisis inspired his book, The Anti-Hustler's Handbook, and a mission to help agency owners build businesses without sacrificing their lives.You'll hear Alex drop powerful mindset gems—including why most entrepreneurs chase “more” without ever defining success, the mantras he uses to beat negative self-talk, and his legendary “Secret Weapon Question” for closing sales. Whether you're stuck in hustle culture, struggling to scale, or just need a reminder to give yourself grace, this episode is packed with real talk, laughs, and game-changing takeaways.TakeawaysDefine Success on Your Terms: Don't let society or influencers dictate what “winning” looks like. Get clear about what YOU actually want.The Anti-Hustle Mindset: Hard work matters, but blind hustle is a trap. Build a business that supports the life you love, not the other way around.The Secret Weapon Question: In sales, pull out the real buying criteria from your prospects. Go deeper than “I want results” to create trust and close deals.Give Yourself Grace (Not a Pass): You'll stumble—everyone does. Learn from it, but stop punishing yourself for being human.Community Over Isolation: Entrepreneurship doesn't have to be lonely. Build or join a supportive network to stay inspired and grounded.Chapters00:00 Welcome & Guest Intro – Alex Schlinsky01:20 Growing Up in an Entrepreneurial Family02:50 First Steps into Entrepreneurship05:15 Hustling His Way into the Miami Dolphins Media Team08:30 The Wake-Up Call: Open-Heart Surgery at 2910:45 Writing The Anti-Hustler's Handbook14:50 Breaking Free from Hustle Culture16:30 Mantras & Mindset Shifts That Work18:50 Giving Yourself Grace (But Not a Pass)19:45 Building Community with Prospecting on Demand23:20 Sales Psychology & The Secret Weapon Question27:40 Sales Example: “I Just Want a Treat”28:10 Beyond Business: Life, Balance & Bucket Lists29:08 Where to Find Alex Online & Closing

IntroductionI discovered another AI app that you can use to create slide show presentations (and videos like the one above). The app, Microsoft Copilot, allows you to create slide shows using PowerPoint. Both Copilot and PowerPoint are part of a Microsoft 365 subscription ($99 per year, personal edition).I started with three lines of information, as shown below. I entered these lines into the Create with Copilot option that comes up when you start up PowerPoint. Within a few minutes, Copilot and PowerPoint generated a sixteen-slide presentation that became the basis for the above video.Writer's Block: In Case of an Emergency, Break the GlassThere really is no such thing as writer's block or any other block to getting things done. Blocks only exist if you let them. If you move on, they melt away.As the blue collar comedians, say, “Get ‘er done!” Move on!The text for the video is showcased below. Note how Copilot took three lines and made sixteen slides with the following extensive content.Microsoft Copilot and PowerPointToday I'm showcasing another presentation program you can use, Microsoft PowerPoint combined with Copilot, to create another version of my writer's block information.So we're going to talk about understanding the concept of writer's block, debunking the myth, the reality of writer's block, practical strategies to overcome perceived blocks, and cultivating long-term productivity and creativity.Writer's block is commonly defined as an inability to generate new ideas or work, causing creative paralysis.These beliefs influence how writers view their creative struggles and shape their response to overcoming challenges.The creative blocks such as this are often portrayed in literature, where creative blocks are often depicted as a mysterious curse impacting writers, especially novelists, symbolizing an insurmountable barrier to creativity.Film and media portray creative blocks as unavoidable challenges that dramatically affect artists and writers' work.Anxiety can cause mental blocks by creating fear and stress that hinder creative thinking and writing flow.Perfectionism leads to unrealistic standards that prevent progress and increase fear of failure in writing tasks.Also, unrealistic expectations create pressure that can block creativity and cause frustration during the writing process.Writer's block is basically a myth.Many experts believe blocks are not a real condition but misconceptions about creativity. Creative pauses are often temporary challenges, not permanent stoppages in writing or creative ability. Also, lack of motivation can cause writing delays mistaken for writer's block.Prolific writers maintain consistent work habits, regardless of obstacles, highlighting consistency over inspiration.Discipline is crucial in overcoming challenges and driving steady creative output among successful creators.Persistence outweighs mysterious creative blocks, enabling writers to produce work consistent with their story.Viewing creative struggles as normal helps writers maintain motivation and reduces frustration during the process.Believing challenges are solvable fosters resilience and encourages persistent effort towards progress.A positive mindset helps sustain continuous progress despite encountering creative blocks.Practical strategies to overcome perceived blocks.Embrace imperfection. By accepting imperfection allows progress by reducing the pressure of perfectionism in creative work.Avoid overthinking. Moving on without over analyzing every detail prevents stagnation and fosters creativity.Set goals. Some of the techniques for maintaining momentum is to set goals.Break tasks into small goals to sustain momentum and make progress manageable and rewarding.Use timed writing sessions to reduce pressure and encourage focused, consistent work intervals.Employ free writing techniques that promote creativity and flow by removing constraints and allowing spontaneous ideas to emerge.Use humor. Humor eases stress and makes creative work more enjoyable, helping to overcome mental blocks.Simplify tasks, reducing overwhelm and making creative work easier and more approachable.Cultivate long-term productivity and creativity.Build resilient writing habits, first by establishing consistent writing routines to help you maintain discipline and overcome creative challenges effectively.Develop writing habits that anchor productivity by creating dependable pathways to sustain creativity and output.Embrace imperfection and continuous progress. Recognize that first drafts are not perfect and that helps reduce pressure and fosters creativity. Be ready to do ongoing revisions to help refine your ideas and improve the quality of work over time.Embrace imperfection enables sustained effort and growth in creative projects.Learn the lessons from blue-collar comedians. Get her done. Blue-collar comedians embody a straightforward practical mindset focused on action rather than excessive planning. The key lesson is to begin tasks promptly to overcome procrastination and build momentum.ConclusionEmphasize completion without overthinking to ensure productivity and success in any endeavor.Recognize that writer's blocks is often a mental barrier rather than an actual inability to write.Dispel common misconceptions about writer's block to foster a healthier writing mindset.And then implement actionable techniques—practical strategies to unlock your productivity and sustain creativity in writing.Gamma Vs. Microsoft Copilot and PowerPointBoth programs produced informative slide show presentations and videos. Personally I preferred the output from Gamma because it included actual examples and stories that enlivened the presentation.Book Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

Cet été, nous vous proposons de (re)découvrir les épisodes des derniers mois que vous avez le plus appréciés !« Punir, c'est faire souffrir l'autre. Et c'est croire que la souffrance fait progresser. Non, la souffrance ne fait pas progresser, surtout la souffrance dans la relation humaine. »Pourquoi notre société peine-t-elle encore tant à reconnaître l'impact des violences, même dites « éducatives », sur nos enfants ? Et pourquoi est-il si difficile de sortir de ce rapport de force ?Dans cet épisode, j'ai l'honneur de recevoir la pédiatre et autrice incontournable Catherine Gueguen. Connue pour son best-seller "Pour une enfance heureuse", Dr Gueguen est une figure engagée qui œuvre depuis de nombreuses années pour faire évoluer le regard porté sur l'enfance.

Elle milite pour une prise de conscience massive de l'impact des violences éducatives ordinaires.Nous abordons des sujets qui bousculent :❇️ Que dit véritablement la science sur les punitions, les humiliations et la violence, quel impact sur le cerveau de l'enfant, leur épanouissement, et la société ?❇️ Élever avec empathie : apprendre à s'écouter soi-même, pour mieux écouter ses enfants.

In this thought-provoking episode, Tina Tower dives deep into one of the toughest business conundrums: How do you know when to persevere and when it's time to let an idea go? Tina shares her insights, personal stories, and actionable strategies to help you discern whether you should double down or pivot in your business journey. Whether you're facing resistance that may just be the prelude to a breakthrough, or you sense it's time for a fresh start, this episode gives you the clarity and confidence to make your next move. Key Topics Covered: The Myth of “If It's Hard, It's Wrong” Tina busts the myth that struggle means you're on the wrong path, emphasizing that all good things start hard. She highlights the reality of behind-the-scenes challenges, reminding listeners not to be fooled by the highlight reels of others. Measuring Effort vs. Evidence Learn Tina's framework for evaluating your progress. Are you seeing small signs of life and traction? Or is your idea flatlining after consistent, strategic efforts? She guides you on how to assess your metrics and tweak your approach accordingly. Reconnecting With Your ‘Why' If you're considering a pivot, Tina suggests revisiting your core mission. Are you overly attached to your offer instead of your purpose? She explains why falling in love with your mission—not just the format of your offer—sets you up for sustainable success. Energy Drain vs. Expansion Red flag or green flag? Tina shares the energetic indicators to watch for—like dread, burnout, or fulfillment—and how these can guide your decision to stick or quit. Asking Better Questions Instead of simply debating quitting, Tina provides thought-provoking questions to ask yourself, such as “What would need to change to make this work?” and “Would I want to do this if I didn't have to?” Giving Yourself Permission to Change Without Shame Hear Tina's honest stories of major pivots and identity shifts, and her encouragement to change direction boldly, without fear of looking flaky or failing publicly. Signs to Stick It Out vs. Let It Go Tina breaks down when to persevere (traction, foundational growth, evolving leadership, excitement for the future) and when to walk away (misalignment, ongoing energy drain, sunk cost traps, attachment to what others think). Trusting Yourself and Staying Adaptable The episode closes with powerful reminders to trust your gut, hold your mission firmly, but keep the how flexible. Persistence is noble, but discernment is powerful. Whether you're holding on or letting go, the journey is about trusting yourself, staying true to your mission, and being willing to adapt as you go. Give yourself grace and know that every decision makes you wiser and more resilient.  Resources: Join Her Empire Builder https://www.herempirebuilder.com/secret Where to find Tina: Her Empire Builder: https://www.herempirebuilder.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tina_tower/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@herempirebuilder

In this episode, veteran actor and director Greg Travis dives into his decades-long filmmaking journey, culminating in the release of his once-abandoned 1984 feature Dark Seduction. Shot on 16mm black-and-white film, the noir-vampire hybrid languished in post-production limbo for over 30 years before digital technology made its completion possible. Greg shares candid stories about the ups and downs of making the film—from lost investors to dusty negatives—and explains how delays actually gave him the chance to polish the project into something stronger than it would have been decades ago. Greg also reflects on lessons learned from working with top-tier directors like David Lynch and Paul Verhoeven, emphasizing the importance of tone, improvisation, and a solid story structure. As both an actor and filmmaker, he offers practical advice for new directors, including taking acting classes, planning with a three-act outline, and remaining open to spontaneous creative choices on set. His story is not just about finishing a movie—it's about staying committed to your vision through every challenge the industry throws your way.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.
