A hoi hoi mateys ... lots o good news kickin round. First off, have a SUPER big week. Like crazy super big. On Tuesday, I meet with this big agency to discuss representation for the brand. Huge huge huge deal. It's going to help me switch more into creative mode, so I can focus more on that rather than feeding the ad sales pipeline. I just need help taking this to another level. I know what we're doing is working, clearly, I'm not in a ditch yet - but I recognize that I need more hands on the deck.
THENNNNNNN, I'm meeting also this week with an uber uber uber financial guru. I need to start setting things up for this site as a small business, so I'm going to take a crash course on it. Dudes, this guy is so so so so soooooooooo highy regarded in his field ... ahmazing and totally humbling that he wants to meet. So fucking flattered, man.
So yeah - the biz side of things could not be more on fire. There's a lot that I want to start doing to expand this brand, but I need to set things up for that. It's terribly exciting - and only 5% stressful hahaha. Life is ... right here. Saying, what's up! Things are just clicking effortlessly - it is BLOWING.MY.MIND. The laws of attraction have like a 30 second return manifestation. Freaking me out, but I'm going to stop questioning it and just go with it and say prayers of gratitude.
It's been a great couple of weeks, but incredibly stressful as well. I just finished post production on the TV show I was filming back east. It was weird being a producer on it as well. I fucking loved that part ... but it takes a different part of my brain, and when I'm actually filming I can't do both producer and talent at the same time. It's literally a switch in my noggin - I just have to manage that part better. Creatively I'm always a whackadoodle noodle, but that's not a producers job, that's the talent. The producer has to get releases signed, scout locations ... etc. etc. etc. I love it, don't get me wrong - but I learned a LOT of what not to do for season one hahahaha. Fuccckkkkkkk me, man. Anywho, we find out in a couple weeks about season 2 and 3. If we get a thumbs up on it, they wanna do them back to back which will be fun, and easier for me since I have travel required. It'll put me back east for like a month tho, but we shall see. One bite of the elephant at a time.
On the TNTML pilot note, we're still movin and groovin. The suits want to sell it this cycle of buying, so that's exciting. They scrapped the first script and are making it more autobiographical. I'm bummed we didn't get the showrunner that I wanted, but whatevs! These people know what they are doing, and I'm just along for the ride. Dude, my writing idol knows my name - I can die now. It's exciting, but also weird at the same time. Dudes, TV shows are such a crap shoot. It's timing, it's the right team - it's nuts. It's a weird, weird, weird, industry. I'm not mad at it, but I do find it fascinating.
Also, I start writing my first book this week. That is pretty much the trippiest thing that has ever happened to me. Even when I filled out my google plus profile I put Lifecaster/ Author. I'm gonna be a fucking author, man. Didn't even see that one coming - but it's still next doable actions, and going to be a very big project. I'm just stoked and clearly honored to be doing it. It's going to make it easier for me to explain to you all too how to be a personal brand and do more of what has worked. It's also going to give the brand TREMENDOUS credibility to be like oh, yep, I wrote the book on that ... literally. Credibility is the foundation for brands, so this is ... HUGE!
I could not be more honored and humbled. Thank you For Dummies - this is all so unbelievable.
That's whats up. I'm stressed ... I'm excited ... I'm humbled ... I'm ready ... and today I'm going to nap. Gotta rest up baby, this is going to be a FUN week!!! Yayyyyy LIFFEEEE!!!
