When Paul D. Hannah made his first film, he had never been on a film set. Now he is a respected producer with over two dozen films distributed through major outlets. His advice? It's simple -- your ego will sink you. Here's how to stay humble and level up your game.  

Risks open doors.   But it can be hard to accept the possibility of failure.   Our egos want everything to work, so we can chalk up our victories.   It’s a cliche at this point, but worth reconsidering that classic Michael Jordan quote:  “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”  Nobody knows this better than Esi Yamoah, founder of Yamoah Entertainment.   From leaving her small town life in Tallahassee to live in Ghana for three years, to working at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, to winning Ghana’s Best Picture Award for the film GOLD COAST LOUNGE in 2019, she’s continually taken calculated risks that put her in a position to succeed.   

Ever feel like nothing you're doing is working? Then you don't want to miss this interview with actor/writer Michael Vlamis (ROSWELL, NM on the CW) and writer/director Joe Angelo Menconi (5 YEARS APART).  

These guys don't pull any punches. From driving for Uber to pay the bills to getting a script on The Blacklist and landing a series regular role on the CW, Michael, Joe, and their collaborators epitomize the modern Hollywood journey.
