Especially in the film world where there’s often a feeling of scarcity, limited resources, and competitiveness, I’m a big believer in approaching people (friends, collaborators, acquaintances, strangers) with openness and a how-can-I-help attitude – it’s way more fun and interesting! In an industry that does not support up-and-comers, it’s important to remember there is room for everyone and we’re all in this together. Not to mention, being unkind, pretentious, or elitist is not actually cool and will not serve you well in the long run. People remember how you treat them.

❣️ Keep cash in your pockets in places where you may encounter unhoused neighbors.
❣️ Share your happiness.
❣️ Listen deeply to someone and ask them follow up questions.
❣️ Be generous in spirit, approaching people with love, vulnerability, and good will. Assume the best of people rather than the worst.

You didn’t share that one resource with that person out of fear that they’ll make something better out of it than you. What a small, small way to live.
Good things aren’t just good when *you* make them, more good is good for everyone. Share freely, share easily, share widely.

I don’t mean this in a dark or morbid way – it’s just truly a great reality check. Time is precious. (And if you’re dealing with death or loss, I like to recommend The Dark Interval: Letters on Loss, Grief, and Transformation by Rainer Maria Rilke – a lovely collection of Rilke’s correspondences with bereaved friends and acquaintances during times of mourning).

I love dropping GIFs into text exchanges for a little added flavor, especially during a “serious” or “business” conversation when the recipient least expects it. Everyone in my inbox knows my GIF game is strong – I am particularly fond of “The Godfather” and “Ari Gold”.

I have a few fabulous mafioso characters in my life who recommend meeting in restaurants during the off hours – seemingly always in a booth – in order to really get down to business. It’s clear they’ve cut some serious deals when no one’s looking. Sometimes stepping outside the normal office setting is necessary. One of the mob’s many useful lessons.
