  1. What I'm Reading
    1. I just finished Who Is Michael Ovitz? - If you're going to read one book about Hollywood, this is the one. Michael Ovitz is a co-founder of the Creative Artists Agency (CAA). He pioneered "packaged deals" in Hollywood. CAA represented everyone in the movie stack from book authors and screenplay writers to lead actors and directors. He would put the entire "team" together and sell it to the Studio with fantastic deal economics for the Artists, often securing an up-front fee and a backend profit split for everyone involved.
  2. What I'm Watching
    1. Season 1 of Penguin on Max. I still can't believe Colin Farrell plays The Penguin. This makeup team better win an Emmy. Episode 4 has one of the highest IMDb ratings for a TV show episode ever at 9.5/10.
    2. Season 2 of Shrinking on Apple TV. The writing in this show is phenomenal. The leads are Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Harrison Ford (No reference necessary). Surprisingly, HF is great at comedy without ever cracking a textbook joke.
  3. What I'm Listening To
    1. Trump Wins - The All-In Crew recap what happened on election night, how Trump managed to win despite his image, what can we expect over the next 4 years, and more.
    2. How I Built A $600M Protein Bar Company In My Basement. Peter Rahal's non-compete agreement with Kellogg's recently expired. Now he's back with a new protein bar, David, and has his sights set on $1Bn in Annual Revenue.
  4. What I'm Most Excited About
    1. I hired a fitness and nutrition coach. Over the next 6 weeks, I will receive some desperately needed accountability. The Holidays are traditionally a time I let myself go. Not this year. 🤞
  5. What I'm Least Excited About
    1. Winter is coming! And the struggle is real:
      1. Gets dark at 5 pm.
      2. Difficult to get out of a warm bed in the morning.
      3. Our favorite outdoor activities are limited.
      4. Harder to build homes in the cold.
  6. What I Recently Changed My Mind About
    1. Project selection is far more important than project management.
