There's like an element of multiple things that can actually create a ripple of the value that you bring, of create this like incredible snowball. How do you juggle all of this? Because sometimes it gets daunting. It can get a lot of work.

Ooh, I love that, Bastiano. And for you, the audience listening to this or seeing us on YouTube, I love looking at this as bread, B-R-E-A-D. So batch, reduce, eliminate, automate, and delegate. So if you can look at your life and decide what can you reduce, what you can eliminate altogether, what you can automate, what you can delegate, it's going to make such a big difference.

Bastiano, that was amazing. And I love that acting on one hand is your fun area, but that's maybe also why, you know, in such a short time, you've been able to be Emmy nominated. And like, it's probably because you're having a blast. Can you give us a glimpse into this world? So I come from the tech world, but I think Hollywood is this thing that we just see on the screen.

Can you give us a glimpse of what does that feel like? What does it look like? And what's next there?

I totally know because, you know, I started my career in the Air Force as an F-16 flight instructor. And for most people, that's weird. What did you do? But for me, that was my life. That's what I knew at age 18, 19, 20. But I think the interesting thing is what you just said that is so important. Usually the people that will kill those dreams are not where you want to be.

So I think one of the biggest things that I want people to listen to, the reason why I'm so passionate about this podcast is because we're bringing these blueprints and these proofs, basically, this evidence that, yes, you can come from a small town and still make it to tech in Hollywood. And I think that's just so, so, so important for people to hear.

It's like, okay, so I just need to try harder. I love that story, Bastiano.

Oh, I don't know if that's what I would say.

No, you're awesome, Luciano. But seriously, we just had Seth Godin on the show. And one of the things that he says, which I think is interesting, and I would love your perspective, Sometimes you persevere through something, but it's actually what he calls a cul-de-sac or a dead end. You're persevering through something, but it's clearly not going to have some major success on the other side.

So you're actually kind of wasting your time. On the other hand, many times there's just this amazing thing that's going to happen on the other side. So work harder, persevere, try again. What works for you? How do you know, you know, when things are really challenging, like when you sleep on a beanbag, how do you know there's something beautiful on the other side versus that's it? I'm done.
