Creating Awesome with Andrew Hall

I was recently interviewed by my friend Andrew Hall as part of his Creating Awesome series. I love the depth to which he is able to go with his interviewees. From business futurists to artists and writers, this interview series is a great resource for other creatives looking to connect.

Some of my favorite quotes from the interviews:

• B. K. Bass: “One of my biggest motivations for writing is to leave something worthwhile behind after I’m gone. I want to contribute something to our society, and my writing is how I want to go about doing that.”
• Ron Gavalik: “A lot of writers don’t realize the power they hold. If you don’t know your truth, put down the pen and live a while. Figure out who you are and what makes you tick.”
• Jack Uldrich: “The biggest change is that the rate of change is changing–it’s getting faster!”
• Wolfgang Muchow: “It’s all about story and character.”
• Robert Marzullo: “Produce something every day.”
• Cliff England: “I would rather do it myself and fail, than wait around for months or years for someone to give me permission or approval to do something.”
• Eric Ninaltowski: “If you’re young, don’t waste time. If you’re old, don’t waste time.”
• Liam Wong: “Make sure it will be fun and feasible – something that will keep me on track and that I will still be passionate about days/weeks/months/years down the line.”
• David Liban: “I like the editing process. The chaos of shooting is over and now I can sit and siphon through the material and finally create the film I’ve been imagining all this time.”
