Awesome… Why should I care?
Getting things done is what I was made for. I’m a producer in the most literal sense (not like those in the film industry who are producers in title only and don’t do much of anything). I’ve spent so much time learning how to do create and fix things. How to edit. How to build…

Start playing your roles
“Effectiveness is doing the things that get you closer to your goals. Efficiency is performing a given task (whether important or not) in the most economical manner possible. Being efficient without regard to effectiveness is the default mode of the universe.” – Tim Ferriss (author of The 4-Hour Work Week) BUSY-BUSY-BUSY If you’re like me,…

Do givers win in business?
YOU WANT NOTHING FROM ME? When I came across the official website for Adam Grant’s new book Give and Take, they offered a free download of chapter 1. I thought this was another lead magnate (an incentive to sign up for an email list), but when I clicked on the button the strangest thing happened.…

Bad pages always trump blank pages
Somehow, I came across a quote by romance writer Norah Roberts a few weeks ago (I swear I wasn’t reading her latest novel or anything). Its simplicity was so on-the-mark, it stuck with me. BLANK CANVAS The blank canvas is such an idealized thing. It represents to us that whatever we have in our heads…

Can you really be good at everything?
Skills vs Gifts Think about this. Math is not only a skill we are taught from an early age, but it’s also thought of as something an individual can be really good at. Something you could be “gifted” at doing. The reverse of that then is we commonly say, “I’m just not good at math.”…

So in the time between projects, Ragamuffin director David Schulz wanted to do some comedy. So together, along with Groundlings acting school peer writer/actor Michael Klimkowski, a skeleton crew, and a revolving door of cast members, we launched a new YouTube channel.

Convenient Habits are most likely to Stick
[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”http://youtu.be/HUJ1GPSvHOw”][vc_column_text]We all have things we know we should be doing. Working out. Getting up early. Remembering to always [fill in the blank]. But the key to that is making it a habit. So how do we make it a habit? This is a super simple idea that I think rocks. Convenient Habits are…

Off on Retreat
[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]In May, David Schultz and I started talking about actually doing a retreat for people who loved Ragamuffin and wanted something more. Especially if we could provide some way for people to connect and get to know each other better. A month later, we took a trip up to Yosemite to shoot a promotional…
