When thinking of making a big career swing, we have all asked ourselves the question, “What’s the right move here?” Making big swings can be tricky since there is no way to know what the outcome will be and if we are making the right decision. Charles, Todd, GG, and George give their insight into this tricky situation.

In this episode, we talk about…

• Changes happening at Warner Bros and how their branding approach seems like a bad idea
• Should filmmakers put themselves in a box by self identifying as a certain “brand” of creator
• Making project decisions based on cash flow or based on ambition
• Incrementalism and how any progress toward the larger goal is good
• Realizing there are large factors outside of our control
• Not expecting a specific outcome when deciding to take the big career swing
• Aiming back at the center of the target every time you get pushed off course
• How the editing process is just like cooking
