EP90 - Brianna Bruderlin - TV Producer To Fashion Empire

January 18, 2019 01:02 - 58 minutes - 81 MB

I love Brianna Bruderlin. She not only talks the talk, she walks the walk. She left a very lucrative and successful career as an executive producer and show runner of major network TV to create her own brand ownership. And she stepped into an industry she knew zero about. Without having any fashion experience, manufacturing experience, or any experience running or starting a business; in typical producer fashion, she said, "I'll figure it out." And so she did. Brianna is proof that if you're...

EP83 - Mafia to Witness Protection to Entrepreneur

September 09, 2018 01:06 - 50 minutes - 69.5 MB

What can I say about Paul Cantarella? I love this guy. Actually, I have to say that to avoid wearing cement shoes at the bottom of the Hudson. I joke, but it's true. Paul was in the Mafia, then witness protection, then decided to come OUT in public with his family to be "normal," at their own risk. If someone wants to go after them, so be it (I have their personal address. I'd sell it to you, but it's not cheap!) I produced a TV series about he and his amazingly loving family (again, I have ...

EP80 - Seth Nagel - From Buying Movies to Selling Them

August 20, 2018 22:21 - 36 minutes - 50.6 MB

If you're a film or TV writer, you know who Seth Nagel is. And chances are if he doesn't represent you, you wish he did. Seth is a manager/producer shepherding and shaping writers ideas and scripts into viable projects for sale. He knows what the buyers want because he played for years on the other side in Acquisitions (this is how I met Seth, as he was one of the dirty dozen you wanted at your distributor screening if you made a movie and needed to sell it). His resume is almost too long to...

July 09, 2018 21:12 - 1 hour - 87.6 MB

Steve Sobel broke into Hollywood by sharing his own story. He wanted to write and he wanted to act. So naturally, like everyone else in this town, he decided to do a one-man show. But unlike most of the one-man shows that you have to beg your friends to attend (he had to do that too, actually), Steve turned his into almost every opportunity he's gotten in Hollywood. One thing led to another and that one-man show was sold to Fox as the next big sitcom! Take a listen to Steve's energetic appro...

You've probably read some of his books (check them out here). After graduating from USC and wanting to be a documentarian, Paul began traveling the world with the E! show "Wild On." This almost sent him down a path of skimpy bathing suits and models for the rest of his life (what was he thinking?!!) before wanting some...

May 07, 2018 17:29 - 1 hour - 109 MB

Yann Debonne’s TV career as a showrunner and company owner is one most other showrunners would kill for (yanndebonne.com). He has had overall deals with networks like MTV, executive produced large, complicated shiny floor shows with live audiences, and become the go-to guy for dozens of networks.
