Giovanni: Hey,Hey.Nick,howareyou?

Nick: I'mdoingwell,man.Freshoffacouplecrazyweeksoftravelandit'snotgoingtoslowdownanytimesoon.

Nick: SoI'manentrepreneur,andabouteightyearsagoIgotintofilmmaking.IjustthoughtitwassomethingthatIwantedtotry.Inthelasteightyears,I'vemadearound60documentaries.We'vereceived25Emmy®nominations,ofwhichwe’vewon11.Whichsoundsreallygood,butitsucksbecauseI'velostmorethanI'vewon.Justkeepthatinmind.

Anyway,oneofmymissionsinlife,andoneofthereasonsGiovanniandIareworkingonthisproject,isIwasakidfromanothercountry.Weweren'tlivingintheprojectsoranything,butweweredefinitelynotwealthyandmyparentsdidn'thaveanyrealconnectionsinAmerica.However,therewerethingsthatIwantedtoaccomplishasakidsoIhadtoturntobooksandCDs,whichwasgreat.IgotmyfirstTonyRobbinsCDsfrommytenniscoach,theywereactuallypiratedCDs(don’ttellTonythat!).IrealizedyoucouldgetaccesstomentorsinotherwaysthaninpersonandthatwastheonlywayIwasgoingtogetaccesstothem.

So,asIstartedtogetintothebusinessworld,muchlikeyouGiovanni,Iwasreallyblessedtobeabletogetintoroomsandintoprivateconversations,includingmentoringandmastermindgroups,withsomeofthegreatestmindsintheworld.Itbecameabiggoalofmine,tocreatethenextgenerationofbooks(films).Notthatbooksaregoinganywhere,andtheynevershould.However,Ihadthisideatomakethelargestcollectionofentrepreneurialfilmsthatcouldhelpbillionsofpeoplearoundtheworld.Nowthat'sabitgrandiose.I'vereallyspecializedoverthelasteightyearsmakingfilmsfornon-profits.I’vedonesomereallycoolstuffinanti-humantraffickingandPTSDinourtroopsandorphanages…ithasbeensomereally,reallymindblowingstuffforme.Itwasreallytransformationalforme.
