What pushes you to see what you see? I have to imagine the answer is different for everybody, so I thought I’d convene the braintrust to shed some light on the decision-making process.

On the occasion of this second episode, I must question the wisdom of gathering for breakfast for these discussions. This time out at least, we were a little more groggy and as much as my guests never need an excuse to talk film as tape rolls, I know they couldn’t have been thrilled at leaving the house so early on a Sunday to do so. I thank them deeply for enabling my habit.

As a sidenote – any locals who are interested in sitting down for one of these talks let me know. Part of what I like about them is that they allow me to rotate more people in and out. It’s another chance for me to bring back familiar voices and work in some new ones.

To recap the concept of this offshoot – expect to see these episodes turning up once a month. My intention is for them to be a bit more raw (there are almost no cuts in this conversation), a bit shorter, with no rules, and less of a pecking order on who sits down at the table.

For this second episode, I was joined by longtime friends of this podcast, Sasha James of SashaJames.com and Bob Turnbull of Eternal Sunshine. Yesterday morning, we gathered to discuss just how it is we decide to see what we see, and the intricacies of a seemingly simple decision.

Enjoy!
