Before we start the episode, I'd like to remind you

and me on all things social at
1:07
It's TENUA. Time to stay locked into
1:10
new episodes. On this episode,
1:12
we sit down with acclaimed film producer
1:14
Will Packer. So we built this team. Yeah,
1:17
making a little bit of money. Yeah, let's talk about
1:19
going out on your own. You started Will
1:21
Packer Productions. Yes, that's
1:24
a huge feat. You're like, I'm going to do this on my
1:26
own. I'm going to create more of these blockbuster
1:28
movies. How are you structured different? How do you feel
1:31
your success has been different from the average
1:33
production house.
1:34
It's a lot different. One is
1:36
that it was.
1:37
It was built from the ground up with an audience
1:40
first mentality. So for me,
1:42
because I started off making little,
1:44
tiny independent movies, you know, one
1:47
at FAMU one. After I graduated,
1:49
I had to hustle and independently distribute those
1:51
films to the audience. I've always kept
1:53
an eye on who am I making the project for?
1:56
Who do I know is going to see this
1:58
movie? I am somebody that believes don't
2:00
worry about making content for everybody,
2:03
don't worry about trying to be all things to
2:05
all people, but be everything
2:07
to some people. That is my model.
2:10
That is a tenant of mine. I believe in that
2:12
I don't have to be all things with all people, but I need to be everything
2:15
to some people. And that
2:17
audience that I have had that
2:19
has supported me that I'm very, very thankful
2:21
and grateful for. I have continued
2:24
to feed and serve that audience even as we expand
2:26
beyond it. That's one of the things that makes us
2:28
different from a lot of production companies out there. The
2:31
other thing is that I have set
2:33
my company up to be very malleable
2:35
when it comes to how we think about content
2:37
and projects. So, for example, when
2:40
we get a pitch or a ip
2:43
an article, a book brought into us, we
2:45
don't only think about it in one particular
2:47
way. We don't think, okay, this was this
2:50
was pitched to us as a movie. If it doesn't
2:52
work as a feature length movie, then we can't
2:54
do anything with it.
2:55
Right.
2:56
It's the equivalent of if you and I we
2:58
have a shoe company, right, that's
3:00
what we do, and or we have a hat
3:02
company. We make hats and somebody bring us a great
3:04
design for a shoe, We're gonna try to stick the shoe
3:06
on our head and say it doesn't really work, right, But
3:09
if we have a company that is
3:11
able to monetize and exploit across
3:13
different mediums, then you say, that's not
3:15
a hat, but it's a great shoe, and let's
3:17
figure out a RaSE to go.
3:19
Versatility as versatility.
3:21
Do the same thing in my production company. If somebody
3:23
brings something in, we say, well, is it a doc, is
3:25
it limited series?
3:26
Is it a podcast? Is it a feature? Is it a
3:28
scripted series? Unscripted?
3:30
And we have the ability to do all those things,
3:32
so now we're not pigeonholing ourselves.
3:34
That's something that's very very important, especially when you
3:36
think about scaling of business.
3:38
You know, that's really important, I think in this industry
3:40
and not the norm because obviously in
3:42
a lot of these legacy industries they're like, well, this film
3:44
has to be only made for this audience and
3:47
it has to be a romance. It can't have action
3:49
in it. You know, it's very like what is
3:51
it and what does it look like? So you can put it into a box.
3:53
So I can see how looking at your array
3:56
of products that you've put out from reality
3:58
unscripted to some of my
4:00
favorites your TV series being Mary Jane
4:03
to East Too, you know they're really
4:05
different, but you know what you're going to
4:07
get.
4:07
Yeah, yeah, thank you. I appreciate that.
4:10
I always again try to keep that audience first,
4:12
think about who I'm making it for.
4:14
Make it for a number.
4:15
Back to the money part of this, make it
4:17
and put in resources that make sense based
4:19
on the profit potential of a project. Don't
4:21
overextend, right, don't go out and
4:24
don't raise more money than you need. Spend
4:26
what you need to spend in order to have success. Don't
4:29
wait until you raise. Maybe
4:31
you set a goal for X, right, if
4:33
you're never going to get to X, ins set a date and
4:36
say by the time I
4:38
reach, you know, a year from now, however
4:40
much I raised, that's the budget of my project. That's
4:42
what I did with our movie Twah,
4:44
which was the movie we made right after Chocolate
4:46
City, just graduating. We had
4:48
this dream of raising a bunch of money and we could
4:51
never get there, and we said, you know what, we could spend
4:53
the rest of our lives trying to raise this money.
4:55
So what we're gonna do is, instead of having a financial
4:57
goal, we're going to set a date goal and every
5:00
we're able to raise by that particular date,
5:02
that's the budget of the movie, and that's exactly what
5:04
we did.
5:04
I'm going to talk about movie budgeting because I think this is interesting.
5:07
Okay, how do you cut costs on a production
5:09
set like that? I think is
5:11
the nitty gritty that's really hard? Is it in the
5:13
actors? It is in wardrobe? There's
5:16
so many pieces that go into a successful
5:18
film. How do you cut costs?
5:19
Nowadays?
5:20
The answer is yes, all those
5:22
eerrands, right.
5:23
Because in you
5:26
can make a movie for any amount
5:28
of money. All right, you can make a movie for five
5:30
dollars, it's gonna look like a five dollars movie.
5:32
Come to me, Instagram, I'm making movies.
5:34
But hey, you can make a
5:36
movie with five hundred million.
5:37
Yes, right, it's just about the story you're trying
5:39
to tell them the way that you tell it live.
5:40
That's in the execution.
5:41
So when you think about budging a movie,
5:44
you have to think about where
5:46
do I want to put the majority
5:48
of my resource. Resource allocation is
5:50
so important in any industry, but especially
5:52
in the movie business. So if there
5:55
are certain stars that this movie
5:57
does not work without these stars, it doesn't work
5:59
without it have to have these stars.
6:01
You gotta pay what you gotta pay to get those stars.
6:03
You got a concept that is, you know,
6:06
a big, high concept movie people relate
6:08
to. It's kind of doesn't have to have
6:10
a big star in it. Then you spend
6:12
your money elsewhere. Maybe you put it on your director, or
6:14
your script or your wardrobe or
6:16
other elements of it.
6:18
It's always a balance.
6:19
It's always figuring out what are the essential
6:22
elements that I need to make this
6:24
movie.
6:24
That's what I do every time. What do I have to
6:26
have in.
6:27
Order for this movie to be successful? You
6:29
put your priority, you prioritize the resources
6:31
there. Then everything else you spend
6:33
what you have to, but no more
6:35
than that if it's a non essential element,
6:37
which is hard sometimes because you get
6:39
people to say, well it's all essential, it's all important.
6:42
Of course it is, but you still have to PRIORITYZ. And
6:45
that's the same.
6:45
I don't care if you're starting a rescue
6:47
right, doesn't matter. Prioritize
6:50
what do you have to have, what's essential. Put
6:52
the majority of your resources there and the
6:54
rest. Spend what you need to, but no more
6:56
than.
6:57
You have to.
6:58
You know, we have a lot of really successful entrepreneurs
7:00
and founders, and I hear this a lot.
7:02
I think some of the most successful entrepreneurs,
7:04
CEOs, bosses are able
7:06
to make really important
7:09
decisions quickly, swiftly,
7:11
and with certainty, and that's what makes a good
7:13
leader. Yes, and you can cut through and
7:15
read through all that stuff, not vacillating
7:17
on like oh should be you know, have this
7:19
car or this, and you can make rooves
7:22
really fast.
7:23
Yes, yes, yes, no, you said it. You got
7:25
to cut through it, cut through it, get to
7:27
what's important. Don't spend a lot of time.
7:29
Goes back to me saying, keep the main thing, the main thing.
7:32
Don't spend a lot of time on things that are not important,
7:34
prioritized and by the way, one
7:36
of the most important resources that we all
7:39
have. And I don't care if you're you know, Tanya,
7:41
Sam will Pack or somebody that's just starting
7:43
off trying to get to this level.
7:45
Time time time. You
7:48
know it, and I know it because it's the thing we have the
7:50
least of.
7:51
Right, somebody asked me to come and
7:53
be a part of something, I would much rather
7:55
cut a check. I'll much really say can I donate? Because
7:57
I can't come. I can't tell you out la.
8:00
Time is the most important resource. And
8:02
so even when you're just starting out,
8:05
protect your time.
8:06
Where are you're spending your time? Are you spending
8:08
your time?
8:08
You should be doing something every day towards
8:11
trying to reach your goal every day, even if it's small.
8:14
Make sure that you're progressing every
8:16
day.
8:16
My favorite word is onward, positive
8:19
perpetual progression. No matter what, onward,
8:22
always be moving forward. So even
8:24
if you're just starting off, you're trying to figure out how to
8:26
raise money, trying, that's fine, but don't
8:28
spend all your time on social
8:31
media or you know, hanging
8:33
out doing things that aren't progressed networking.
8:37
It's busy work.
8:38
Don't do that now another world of networking,
8:40
if it's real networking, but if it's just happy
8:42
hour every you know, every day, because
8:45
you know you're tired and and by the way,
8:47
I get it.
8:48
And when you're first starting off, it's tough.
8:49
And you need like social releases, nothing wrong with
8:51
that, but make sure every day you're doing at
8:54
least a little something towards your goal.
8:56
Okay, I have a funny question for you.
8:57
Okay, you talked about, you know, knowing
8:59
you need certain actors to make certain
9:02
movies. Yes, looking back at your
9:04
catalog of movies, Yes, tell me one
9:06
movie where you knew and you had to go after
9:08
this specific actor or
9:10
actress, yep, to ensure the success
9:13
of the movie Obsessed.
9:15
And Beyonce, Okay,
9:17
go, you can argue with that.
9:19
You asked it was, it was
9:21
Obsessed, and that was a project
9:24
that she told us no
9:26
multiple times. Yeah, and you
9:29
know, the scheduling was very tough, and
9:31
you know she wanted some changes to the script.
9:34
But once I knew she was at least open
9:36
to a conversation, I was like a dog
9:38
with a bone. I said, I'm going to do anything I
9:40
have to do to get her in that project.
9:42
That project did not work without
9:45
her.
9:45
I knew to have the profile and the level of
9:47
success that that project.
9:49
Needed to have, I needed her and it was only her.
9:51
She was the only one. So when she came back and
9:53
said, you know what I like.
9:54
Where you've got in the script, I would do it,
9:56
but I'm touring and I've got a makeup
9:59
campaign and I've got this and that.
10:00
I said, you know what, you tell me when
10:02
you can do it. You tell me.
10:04
What afternoon you got,
10:06
what weekend you got? You tell me and I
10:08
will fit my schedule. You turned that maybe into
10:11
a yes, you like I'll make it happen. Okay, Now, what's the
10:13
opposite side. Tell me an
10:15
actor that you took a chance on that just blew
10:17
you out of the water and surprised you so much. Tiffany
10:19
habits, oh easy. Tiffany habits
10:21
absolutely, And we knew it. When I say
10:24
surprised, it is a surprise,
10:26
and that I hadn't seen her do this
10:28
on this level before like she did in Girls Trip.
10:30
She had done, you know, great work,
10:33
but she hadn't had that platform to take her to the
10:35
next level. So we didn't
10:37
know until she came in and every
10:39
other actor that read for that role, which there were many,
10:42
they were reading that character
10:44
and portraying the character. Tivity came in
10:46
and she was that.
10:47
She honestly Girls Trip.
10:50
I've saw it several times in the theater. I
10:52
just kept going back with more and more
10:54
girls. I left there in physical
10:56
pain.
10:57
Like I think I.
10:58
Truly bologized that don't
11:02
bust again.
11:02
I actually think I toned my apps. But
11:05
it was the best, and I mean.
11:06
Comedy is hard, but you are right, she nailed
11:09
it, and really I think set her career on
11:11
a just different trajectory.
11:12
It's so good.
11:12
I for you.
11:13
Yeah, I'm sure many congratulations
11:15
with that movie was so funny.
11:17
Yeah, So I.
11:18
Want to go back and I want to you know, be able
11:21
to instill a little bit.
11:22
More hope, okay into
11:25
our audience.
11:25
So you've been in the game for a couple of years
11:28
now, one maybe two decades,
11:30
having this incredible catalog three
11:32
decades, and I'm
11:34
proud of this. And you
11:36
know, the advice you might have received from your
11:38
mentors back in the day is probably
11:41
a lot different than you would advise young
11:43
people going into the industry. We're seeing a rise
11:45
of streaming. People are making five minute movies
11:48
on Instagram.
11:49
So how would you.
11:50
Sort of shape the advice that you give out, Now,
11:53
that's a great question.
11:55
Back when I was starting off, it was very
11:57
difficult just to make a movie.
12:00
You had to go and buy.
12:01
Film and editing equipment,
12:03
and you know, have like film cameras.
12:06
You know, we were shooting on super sixteen
12:08
millimeter film, or if we really had
12:10
a budget, we'd shoot on thirty five millimeter film.
12:13
Now we're in a digital environment. Now, we're an environment
12:15
where.
12:16
Social media is the way that you reach people
12:18
and the way that you can distribute content. So
12:21
when I was coming up, people told me, hey,
12:23
just try to get your movie made. It
12:25
wasn't about, you know, necessarily what the
12:27
content was. It was just
12:29
get it made. If you can just get it made,
12:32
then you're ahead of the game.
12:34
Right.
12:35
So these days, when I'm talking to that next
12:37
generation of filmmakers, what I'm telling
12:39
them is it's not enough to just get your
12:41
movie made. Now, you've got to show
12:43
that there's an audience for your
12:46
project.
12:46
You've got to go out and show.
12:48
Millions of views on YouTube or Instagram
12:51
or TikTok, whatever that platform is.
12:54
You've got to show that you have an ability to
12:56
find that audience and accumulate
12:59
that audience. Because then you have people
13:01
like myself and others that will say, you know what if
13:03
they were able to do that shooting
13:06
it on their iPhone and editing it an
13:08
iMovie, what would they.
13:09
Do with real resources?
13:11
Because I see they have the talent, and I see
13:13
they have the ability to find an audience.
13:15
So that's very different advice.
13:17
It's much more competitive now because it's an oversaturated
13:20
content environment. Everybody's making
13:22
stuff, right. It's like you your podcast
13:24
is successful because it cuts through.
13:27
There are a lot of people with podcasts.
13:29
Out there, But your voice is unique,
13:31
your subject matter is unique, your guests
13:33
are unique.
13:34
Like everything, you have to do something that's going
13:36
to stand out now because there is
13:38
this oversaturation, But what
13:40
that means is that the cream will rise to the top, as it
13:42
always does. You just got to work harder to
13:44
make sure that you're one of those that stands out
13:46
in an environment where everybody.
13:48
Is, you know, a mini movie maker.
13:50
Do you feel that this opens up more
13:52
access and a little bit more equality.
13:55
These I do? I do? Yeah.
13:57
I think it's the democratization content
13:59
creation that really really do because
14:02
now the barriers aren't there. When
14:04
I was first coming in, if you didn't
14:06
have the money to buy film and you
14:08
didn't have a big studio to distribute it, no
14:10
one would ever know about it, No one would
14:12
There was not this you know, ability
14:15
to go and take your content straight to consumers
14:17
like there is now now if
14:19
you've got a voice, and we see this with all the
14:22
influencers out there that are successful, they're
14:24
not using studios, big financiers
14:26
to fund their stuff.
14:28
They're making it direct for their audience.
14:30
They're turning down actually investment
14:32
and equity deals because they're like, No, I'm going to keep making
14:35
this myself.
14:35
Many of them are folks like me.
14:37
Now are aligning with these folks, with
14:39
folks that have gone out and shown an ability to
14:42
be able to create, monetize
14:44
and create content for an audience. I
14:46
now need to align with them. I'm putting those
14:48
people in my movies.
14:50
Oh that's interesting.
14:51
Yeah, So one thing on this show, I
14:53
love to talk about building generational
14:55
wealth. Yes, and I think
14:57
that you know, for I'll speak for myself in my
15:00
generation, my experience, my years on
15:02
this earth. I feel like the messages
15:04
I learned from my parents, which were first generation
15:07
to Canada, are so much different.
15:09
How have you approached generational wealth
15:11
building the lessons that you impart on
15:13
your children?
15:14
What's changed for you?
15:16
Yeah?
15:16
You know, if we are going to cycles
15:20
work in multiple ways,
15:22
right. A cycle can be negative, a cycle can be positive.
15:25
We talk about negative cycles
15:28
a lot, especially in African American community.
15:30
Understandable because we are up against a
15:32
lot and there are a lot of negative.
15:34
Cycles that we're trying to break.
15:36
But if we're going to have positive cycles,
15:38
then you got to start with talking about wealth
15:41
building. Yes, we're going to talk about economic
15:43
equity we're going to talk about buildings,
15:46
a legacy within your family, a legacy
15:49
of success and positivity. It
15:51
only happens through generational wealth.
15:53
I'm like you.
15:54
I came from a two parent household. My
15:56
parents definitely instilled in me you gotta work
15:58
home. You gotta work work hard, outwork
16:01
your peers, look to your left and your right, be working
16:03
harder than them.
16:04
Right. They definitely instill that in me.
16:06
I took that to task with
16:08
my children now, who are very
16:12
privileged children because well, packers
16:14
are dad. So they're coming in a different
16:16
position than I was when I told
16:18
them, I start the same way.
16:20
You gotta work hard, but gotta
16:22
work smart. You got to make
16:24
a dollar.
16:24
What are you doing with that dollar? Don't make a dollar, spend
16:26
a dollar thinking I'm going to make another dollar, or that
16:29
makes another dollar for you. Dad, don't have another
16:31
dollar? Okay, Dad made discuss right.
16:33
My kids produce these movies, right,
16:35
they know that. But they
16:37
do have access to my
16:40
network, and they have the ability
16:42
to go out and not necessarily have to work
16:45
a part time job through high school like some
16:47
people may have.
16:48
So now what are you doing with that time?
16:50
That resource we talked about and then what are
16:52
you doing when you do get your hands on a little bit of money.
16:54
So now I'm instilling in them things like
16:56
making sure that you invest, making sure
16:59
that you're thinking long term, not short
17:01
term. One of the things about our community, we are
17:03
caught up in conspicuous consumption and short
17:05
term success, short term spending,
17:08
short term gain. Yep, when you
17:10
don't have anything, short term feels
17:13
like long term rite a drug. You got
17:15
nothing, then you get something
17:17
that feels like everything you need right now,
17:19
let's start thinking about the tomorrow after tomorrow,
17:22
after tomorrow, and let's start thinking about
17:24
the generation after this one and the one after this
17:26
one. So what I'm trying to do is instill not
17:29
just my kids, but just people I talk to. It's not
17:31
just about you, It's not just about.
17:32
Where you are today.
17:34
Live a great life, love your life, do
17:36
the things that make you happy. But then one
17:39
of the things, there's nothing more fulfilling than
17:41
knowing you're affecting other people. That's
17:43
within your own family, that's within your
17:45
own community. That's how you start to build generational
17:48
wealth. Thinking beyond just you and
17:50
thinking beyond just today.
17:52
I would be remiss if I didn't say that you
17:54
know, you've been investing for a long time and you
17:56
are, you know, espousing what you believe
17:59
in and you invest in the
18:01
network that we are currently airing on Bounce TV
18:03
along with the great ambassador Andrew
18:06
Young as well as Greenwood's founder
18:08
Ryan Glover. Yes, so
18:10
talk about your mindset for investing.
18:13
You had these colleagues, you decided to
18:15
write a check as you believed in them. Was that the
18:17
first investment that you had done into another black
18:19
owned business and just what
18:22
was your mindset at that time.
18:23
Yeah, it's a great question, you know, and I give all props
18:25
to Ryan Glover, I really really do, because
18:27
he's someone that saw this opportunity. He
18:29
aligned with some of the folks that were at Turner
18:31
Broadcasting at the time. I was doing
18:33
my thing in a parallel track, but I was not in
18:36
the television space in a major way at that time.
18:38
Ryan called me with that opportunity. Sometimes
18:41
it's about recognizing the opportunity,
18:43
right. I believe that we all
18:46
have the ability to take
18:48
advantage of things, and the question is
18:50
do.
18:50
You take advantage right? It's not about
18:52
having a big old bank account.
18:54
Sometimes sometimes it's just about Okay,
18:56
there's an opportunity here that I'm going
18:58
to recognize and see long term benefits.
19:01
So when Ryan first approached me about
19:03
Bounce, it wasn't this Bounce that we're watching right
19:05
now. It was a concept. It
19:07
was an idea, but it was very smart. It
19:09
was a good one. And that was the first
19:11
time that I got involved with a media company
19:14
that wasn't my own. Since then
19:16
now, I've been very fortunate. I've bought
19:18
several media companies I bought.
19:20
One of the greatest things that was
19:22
said to me that I enjoyed was Russell Simmons
19:25
because I bought an agency
19:27
that he owned and I
19:30
bought it. It was called Narrative. It was run by an amazing
19:32
sister named Tricia clark Stone. And
19:35
I bought this brand, marketing and
19:37
advertising agency from Russell
19:39
Simmons. And as we were closing the deal, after
19:41
it was all done, I said, man, this was great. It was awesome, and
19:43
he said, you know what, the biggest thing about this is
19:45
is that a black man bought a media
19:48
company from another black man. Wow,
19:50
you acquired something that I built
19:52
and now are going to take it to the next level. That doesn't
19:54
happen often enough. It doesn't that stuff.
19:56
Often enough, and I would be remiss if I didn't shout
19:59
out at the fact that we're filming in the gathering
20:01
spot. Look at how this all interconnectedness
20:03
of black excellent happens. We're filming in the
20:06
gathering spot from an investment you
20:08
know that you made into Bounce TV and Ryan
20:10
Glover who is now the co founder
20:12
along with Paul Judge at Greenwood Bank,
20:14
And this is how we build up together.
20:17
This is how we create generational wealth
20:19
in the black community.
20:21
That's that positive cycle. That's it. You're
20:23
a part of it.
20:24
I'm a part of somebody watching. What is
20:26
your opportunity to create your own
20:28
cycle. You're absolutely right. This is a full circle
20:30
moment for me. That's why it's so awesome
20:33
and I'm so honored to be here.
20:34
It is so awesome.
20:35
All right, last question for you. I
20:37
want to talk about a singular event
20:40
when you got the wire, got
20:42
the bag, Which is the one that stands
20:45
out in your mind the most.
20:49
It was Stomp the Yard.
20:51
Oh, that's right, that's
20:53
that was the success of Stomp the
20:55
Yard.
20:55
When Stomped the Yard. At
20:58
that time, I had never.
20:59
Done a widely
21:01
distributed theatrical movie.
21:03
I had done independent movies and
21:06
I was working my way up.
21:07
That was my first studio backed
21:10
widely theatrical release movie.
21:13
Nobody expected anything from it. I
21:15
didn't have a big budget, but I
21:17
had a vision for it, and it
21:20
opened number one.
21:22
At the box office.
21:24
And Hollywood, like most industries,
21:26
we've got quantifiable metrics
21:28
that determined success, and how
21:30
you open at the box office is certainly one
21:32
of them.
21:33
And when that.
21:34
Movie opened number one, it
21:36
changed the dynamics of myself,
21:38
my company, everything that
21:41
I was doing.
21:41
I got my calls returned. I know how
21:43
that goes.
21:44
I all of a sudden got a lot of incoming calls
21:46
because I had done things again in
21:49
that quantifiable metric, which is box office,
21:51
which is making money that Hollywood could not
21:53
deny. It didn't matter who I was, when they liked me, didn't
21:55
like me, whether I was black, white.
21:56
What didn't deny that they
21:59
could not deny to keep screen. Well,
22:01
we are so appreciative of your time, and
22:03
I feel like you've really laid a roadmap
22:05
for success for so many people. But I want to give you
22:07
the opportunity. Is there another
22:09
gem that you want to share with our audience? Is there
22:11
something that you want to leave us with as
22:13
we close out.
22:14
You know, Tanye, you and I talk
22:16
offline, and we've talked about like
22:19
how important it is to have these exact
22:21
conversations. Right, So, if
22:23
there's anything that I would kind of just say and leave
22:25
the audience with, it's that you
22:28
have to be here, yes, and
22:30
present and consuming this right.
22:33
The fact that you're here, you're watching this, the
22:35
fact that you and I as successful people
22:38
are sharing this moment.
22:39
We don't have to share it. We could just be like on a beach
22:41
somewhere.
22:42
Right, you have to be somebody
22:44
I'm talking to the people watching this now who
22:46
are saying, I'm going to pay attention.
22:48
I'm going to tune in, and then I'm going
22:51
to.
22:51
Figure out how to take these gems
22:53
and affect them, manifest them
22:55
in my life. Right, It's up to
22:57
you now to take that next step. You're
23:00
already witting because you're in the US. We've
23:02
invited you to the room, so you're in the room where a lot
23:04
of things happen. How do you now then
23:06
go take this to the next level.
23:09
That's the key.
23:10
The successful people I know are always
23:12
learning, always open to
23:15
finding new ways to do things. They're not people
23:17
that sit back and say I know how to do it. I don't need to pay attention.
23:19
So if you're watching this, you're open to a new way of doing
23:21
things. The most successful people I know then
23:24
implement that, find a way to implement
23:26
that into their daily lives and into their strategies.
23:29
That's my challenge today.
23:30
I love that, and I feel like you've left
23:32
the bread combs. You told people about KPIs
23:35
you know, really understanding how they can move
23:37
the needle in their life. And you've even touched on manifestation,
23:39
which I really appreciate because I think it's about
23:41
visualizing and being intentional, but doing the
23:44
work to get to that piece. So well, it
23:46
has been our ultimate pleasure to have you
23:48
here today. Thank you so much. We look
23:50
forward to sitting in more theaters seeing
23:53
what you have next on your plate. Can you give
23:55
us some teasers of what we should be looking
23:57
out for.
23:58
Absolutely, I've got a
24:00
movie that is a gospel
24:02
choir competition movie, a lot of fun
24:04

24:09

24:11

24:13

24:17
the Snow also shot hear it Atlanta
24:20
Christmas.
24:20
You know, you know I love my Christmas movie. Shot off.
24:22
Everybody that's watched this Christmas are
24:24
almost Christmas at least five times a piece.
24:26
Off.
24:26
You ain't watching five times a piece. You're not a real thing every
24:29
year.
24:29
Every year I need that. Yes, so I got
24:31
a new one and this one is going to introduce
24:34
Black Santa Claus. Oh sorry,
24:37
