NEVER PLAY TO THE GALLERY - Episode 101
This is the first episode of season 8 and in it we look at why playing to the gallery or the crowd. Adapting your ideas to suit the masses could be the reason why you aren’t finding success!

Always go a little further into the water than you feel capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth, and when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.” David Bowie “There will be no one like us when we are gone, but then there is no one like anyone else, ever. When people die, they cannot be replaced. They leave holes that cannot be filled, for it is the fate - the genetic and neural fate - of every human being to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death.” Oliver Sacks “I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is: Try to please everybody.” Herbert Bayard Swope SPONSOR: Alix from Switchblade Cinema currently working on the feature Kill Your Lover Links: www.switchblade-cinema.com www.greenlit.com/project/kill-your-lover www.instagram.com/alix.austin www.twitter.com/alixaustin_ www.instagram.com/switchbladecinema www.facebook.com/switchbladecine Season 8 Executive Producer: David Richard Thompson Socials: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidrichardthompson Instagram: @daudspeaks https://instagram.com/daudspeaks?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Business: https://wfpf.com https://youtube.com/c/WorldFreerunningParkourFederation https://wfpfparkouracademy.com/en/ https://internationalparkourfederation.org/ https://www.guidestar.org/profile/47-2944977 -IPF- Support Parkour Teachers Teaching Globally… a fundraiser (Including 12 video clips of some of our Peace Through Parkour Ambassador teachers and others) https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/61guX6 References: None Thanks: A Himitsu Music By: Music by A Himitsu Track: Adventures by A Himitsu https://www.soundcloud.com/a-himitsu Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

10 PRODUCTIVITY SUPERPOWERS - Episode 100
Today is the last of the long episodes and in it, I am going to look back over the previous 100 shows and pick out 10 productivity techniques that will supercharge your life if you choose to take them on board. Having knowledge of these techniques is only half the battle you see, they will only ever make a difference in your life if you put them into action. As Stan Lee would say with great power comes great responsibility but I’m going to grant you these superpowers to do with as you may; all I ask is that you use them to strive forward in your life and career towards the success that awaits you. For a full transcript of this episode please go to the official website https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ You can find out more about the show on these links OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/ TWITTER: @filmproprodpod FACEBOOK: @filmproproductivity CONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contact INDIE FILM HUSTLE: https://indiefilmhustle.com/ifh-podcast-network-filmmaking-and-screenwriting/ QUOTES “We all wish we had superpowers. We all wish we could do more than we can do." Stan Lee "Gaining superpowers doesn't mean you know how to use them." Richelle Mead "If you have an instinct to act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will kill it." Mel Robbins “Mental energy is the world’s hottest commodity. People are going to try to steal it, drain it, and suck it up every second you’re awake. Yet very few of us protect it. Few of us know how.” Isaiah Hankel “Mental energy is OUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET. Without it, you won’t have the enthusiasm, motivation, drive, and physical energy to live a full rich life. - The problem is this asset DEPRECIATES RAPIDLY every day.” Isaiah Hankel “People carefully protect the money in their bank account and the time in their calendar, but they do little to protect their attention.” And “Attention”, he says “is the gateway to your mental energy. WHERE YOUR ATTENTION GOES, YOUR MENTAL ENERGY FLOWS.” Isaiah Hankel “It is fundamentally the confusion between effectiveness and efficiency that stands between DOING THE RIGHT THINGS and DOING THINGS RIGHT. There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency that which should not be done at all.” Peter Drucker "We must stop this incessant victimhood mentality. Somebody else will not fix things. Somebody else will not make me healthy. Somebody else will not make me happy. These things are my responsibility. Not the neighbour’s, not the government’s, not the church or the civic club." Joel Salatin "You are 42 percent more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down." Dr Gail Matthews, at the Dominican University in California “Saying no is very near the top of the productivity techniques that I use most often – Learn to say ‘no’ to the good so you can say ‘yes’ to the best” John C. Maxwell “Learn to set boundaries. In short, learn to say no. Don't guilt and shame yourself. Say no to people and things you don't want. Just say no. It is your right, it is your time, it is your energy.” Akiroq Brost “Your life today is a result of your thinking yesterday. Your life tomorrow will be determined by what you think today.” John C. Maxwell SPONSOR This podcast has only been made possible by the support of the various sponsors that have come my way over the past several years and today's show is no different. I’m genuinely excited in fact to tell you a little about today's sponsor as they are fellow action choreographers and stunt professionals. Since 2015 Breakfall Studios has offered individual and group training opportunities to the New York City stunt performers and actors. They offer regularly scheduled fighting, falling, tactical and stunt/action related workshops. If you are a production in need of fight coordination, a space to rehearse, shoot previz or host an audition, their Midtown studio is available for rent. Have an actor in your production who needs fight training? They've got you covered. Centrally located in Midtown, Manhattan, they will make finding time and space a bit easier. Their facility is fully equipped with a variety of pads, mats, prop weapons, a basic rig system, scaffold, and more.

TO DO LISTS - Episode 99
In this episode, I discuss 19 ways to improve how you handle to-do lists. How much time do you spend on planning your days? 5 minutes? 10? How many of you spend no time at all on planning and just go with the flow and if you do that – how’s it working out for you? Well as you are listening to this show I’d guess you do at least try, now and again, to make SOME plans but creating a task list should not be some secondary thing that you try to do as quickly as possible. In fact, when you pay more attention to your next day’s to-do list, the more likely the list is going to be realistic.

Warren Buffet was asked about the secret to success, and he said that it was saying no to almost everything. Some of those little tasks won't matter as long as you get the big tasks done." Brian Tracy "If someone gives me a to-do list, I say 'thank you, this is nice.' One needs things to throw in the wastebasket." Karl Lagerfeld SPONSOR This episode is sponsored by TIDY BOX.

OPENING AND CLOSING DOORS - Episode 98
Generally, when I talk about opening and closing doors I am talking in terms of taking on too many things. As discussed in the last show you need to ruthlessly prioritize what you are getting yourself into and the best way to do that is to always be prepared to turn down what at first may appear to be an opportunity.

Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere." Paulo Coelho "Some doors are best left closed." George R. R.

FOCUS ON THREE THINGS - Episode 97
In this episode I’m backing a simple productivity concept - that focusing on no more than 3 things over a given period of time, not at the same time, but over a given period, could change everything for you. It may be more completely stated as "Focus on three things, ignore the rest."

Charlie Chaplin “Past and current clients will smile at the title, as I always look to get them to distil their focus down to three things, no matter the size of the company, the complexity of the challenges, opportunities, issues they face.” Tom McCallum “We talk about it as ruthless prioritization and by that what we mean is - only do the very best of the ideas. Lots of times you have very good ideas but they're not as good as the most important thing you could be doing and you have to make the hard choices.” Sheryl Sandberg "People who can focus, get things done. People who can prioritize, get the right things done." John Maeda SPONSOR This episode is sponsored by Scare Scotland.

Stop trying to do it all. Do less. Prune away even good activities and do only that which matters most. Never confuse activity with productivity.

Today’s episode highlights a simple rule that can be applied to virtually any project that we set out to do.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." Tony Robbins “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they sometimes think they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.” Steve Jobs "Done is better than perfect" Sheryl Sandberg "Perfectionism is the enemy of creation, as extreme self- solitude is the enemy of well-being."

To become great, you must choose to allocate your time to your greatest opportunities. You will have to choose to spend time on the difficult things that create your biggest payoffs. To be great you will need to live with intention. That will require you to be clear on what matters most, and then to have the courage to say no to things that distract you.” Brian P. Moran "If we did the things we are capable of doing we would literally astound ourselves.” Thomas Edison “We mistakenly believe that there is a lot of time left in the year, and we act accordingly. We lack a sense of urgency, not realizing that every week is important, every day is important, every moment is important. Ultimately, effective execution happens daily and weekly!” Brian P.

MAKING A "HOUSE BOOK" - Episode 90
In this episode I discuss one very simple thing that you can do right now, if you have not already done it, to make your life easier and reduce feelings of anxiety and stress in regard to living our everyday lives. Yes, this podcast is specifically aimed at creative people and film pros but every one of us will still have real-life tasks and responsibilities which I’m sure you know all too well if we do not stay on top of, will damage our creative and work lives and slow down our productivity. Today I’m going to talk about making up a HOUSE BOOK.

A. A. Milne "There's a way to do it better - find it." Thomas A. Edison "Carelessness does more harm than a want of knowledge." Benjamin Franklin "If you can't control your peanut butter, you can't expect to control your life." Bill Watterson "Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

THE OTHER PANDEMIC: VICTIM MENTALITY - Episode 88
Just raising the subject of victim mentality is a dangerous business because those that buy into it will vehemently defend their position - a position born out of negative experiences, negative influences, or negative bias. The thing is… I can’t let it go any further – not that I think my talking about it will change the world – but it may just help a few of you that are listening to get ahead in the world or at least get past whatever victim based thinking is holding you back.

Fear would be transmuted into weary resignation; failure would no longer generate guilt but, instead, would spawn a comforting self-pity." From the novel Intensity by Dean Koontz "We must stop this incessant victimhood mentality. Somebody else will not fix things. Somebody else will not make me healthy. Somebody else will not make me happy. These things are my responsibility. Not the neighbour’s, not the government’s, not the church or the civic club." Joel Salatin "Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself."

CLOUT CHASERS - Episode 87
Clout chasing is an expression that came out of the American rap music industry and in simple terms, a Clout Chaser is someone who does and says things simply for the purpose of becoming more popular. You may not be familiar with the term, but I think you’ll recognise the sort of person that today’s topic defines pretty quickly.

Henry David Thoreau "Clout Chasers will bypass all morality, all logic, know what I’m saying? Any type of loyalty just to get some type of attention and these motherf***ers are dangerous… to them, clout is more important than money itself, it’s more important than love… these are the ones that you want to stay far far away from you know. I mean you need to watch out, you need to watch out, you need to watch out…" Doit Jack (YouTube) "I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you." Friedrich Nietzsche "All liars ... lie to protect themselves, to shield their egos from the raw pain of truth." Aminatta Forna "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them."
