"It's always the things that everybody else thinks are mistakes that are actually advantages if we look at them that way."
Today’s episode was ripped directly from one of our 10,000 NOs Working Actors Community weekly zooms where Matt addresses the challenges that face our members. Today, we discuss how hardships can actually be an opportunity. If we get too fixated on our problems we can miss the opportunities right around us. Matt uses the acting example of Marlon Brando in On The Waterfront. In one particular scene, Eva Marie Saint's character drops her glove. Brando's character picks up the glove and put it on while sitting on the swing. This "mistake" ended up being a memorable moment that many believed symbolized the intimacy in the character's relationship. What one may view as a mistake, can actually be an advantage.
10,000 NOs is here to inspire you and help you realize you are not alone if you’re battling to overcome rejection in your career or life.
So, if you’re an actor, writer or filmmaker and you like what you hear in the snippets from our Working Actors Community zooms enough to want to be a part of it, CLICK HERE.
Remember, “failure” is just opportunity in disguise, and you can flip the script to make your setbacks serve you.
