That's What I'm Saying Podcast

Ep 8: "Life takes time, you never know where you’ll end up, so for me, I’m going to try my best to enjoy the ride.”

I start with with the story of the time, 23 years ago, a person who now Directs shows such as "This Is Us," was the Director of Photography on the first independent film I worked on (as a PA) rewarded my work on set with a free t-shirt...a simple kind gesture that stuck with me for years...and from that starting point, I move into discussing how we never know where our lives may take us, nor do we always know the affect we have on others and their lives.

Some excerpts include: 

  • “It’s real easy in this world to think and feel that things don’t change, both when things are going great and when things aren’t going your way…but things change in weirder ways and unpredictable ways than we can often never imagine."
  • "All that you can do is to do as much work that you enjoy as you can, get at good at it as you can, and to share it as much as you can and let the chips fall where they may.”
  • A lot of people have lives that are challenging in ways that most listening to this podcast couldn’t comprehend."
  • "I’m going to appreciate where I am, remember that life takes time, you never know where you’ll end up, so for me, I’m going to try my best to enjoy the ride.”
  • “It’s easy to stay in the moment when the moment is one that you want.”
  • “We like to think our lives take a linear path we change so much We all have these massive sea changes and we all have these U-turns in life that don’t make sense…write down the 5 things you’re focused on now and 5 things you were focused on 5 years years ago and compare" to understand my point.
