It's one thing to get in the room. It's a whole other strategy to stay there. Here to discuss and go deep is multi-Emmy award winning television host, producer and journalist, Buki Elegbede.

Buki shares that when you get in the room it feels good and it's a cause for celebration but it's only base camp. You've still got a whole mountain to climb.

Be prepared to play the long game
When the industry shuts down, you don't shut down - you hone your craft and strategize
Embrace delayed gratification and know that the rewards will come later
Ask yourself: and then what?
Stay ready so you never have to get ready
Focus on relationships
