What We Learned

1. The work you do will require sacrifice.

Hudson talked about giving up TV and even setting aside specific times in order to focus on his writing. In order to do great work it will mean giving up lesser things.

2. Honesty is a form of empathy

The more honest you are with your work, the more people connect with your work. Use your struggle to help tell stories that will help people heal their wounds. The more specific you can be, the better. You communicate empathy through your honesty.

3. Find the right team.

Hudson made connections with people all throughout his life who eventually he asked to work on his first feature length film. Always pay attention to the people around you. He also listened to their feedback which helped improve the film.
