“BEAUTIFUL BRIT BAKER”

Beautifulbritbaker.com

[podcast]

R. Mordant Mahon starts off chatting about the 4th of July with Charles and they have a short discussion on the meaning of holidays. Then the director of “Beautiful Brit Baker,” Alan Esparza, joins the guys to talk about his journey into creating this film.  Discussed are his writing experiences, losing his work, having the right people involved, and chasing and catching his dream of making a movie.

They also chat about the story, changing the book into a screen play, casting the right people vs changing the characters, and how this will be Mordant’s first IMDB listing!

After Alan leaves, the boys discuss different aspects of the acting biz, not turning down rolls, politics in film, and how Mordant likes to be cast as the bad guy.

Everything you need to know about R. Mordant Mahon can be found at Mordantworld.com

“Chasing your dream takes you out of simple”

[podcast]

We talk about these quality ideas:

The “Season of Suck” when you start out in a new venture or project,
Living what you love,
Finding your passion and being able to afford it,
Figuring out your dream may not be what you started out thinking it was,
Listening to the people around you,
Making goals and taking baby steps,
and Being overwhelmed leads to learning to breath and delegate the tasks.

Tom calls in and gives advice on starting your dreams even through fear.

Book Quotes from:

“What would you talk for hours with a stranger about? That is your dream subject”.
