Great podcast and episdoe:
“For decades, Americans have believed that the best way to end racial inequality is to end class inequality. But a landmark 30-year study is debunking that logic. Guests: Emily Badger, who writes about cities and urban policy for The Upshot; William O. Jawando, who worked in the Obama administration on My Brother’s Keeper, a mentoring initiative for black boys. For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.”
He brings up some good points…
On an ongoing journey as an independent film producer, how do I deal with the negative criticism that independent film is dead?
Well, this guy speaks a lot of truth to me.
As a producer, my job is to problem solve. But what happens when there’s no solution? Especially when it comes to others, how can I help fix the pain others are experiencing?
Well, I’m learning that I can’t. And, I’m learning that that actually doesn’t help.
But, if I really want to help, I should take a step back and just listen. And if I have to say anything at all, all I need to say is, “I don’t know what to say right now but I’m so glad you told me.”
This is what I’m trying to work on.
