S04 E19 - How To Use Grit And A.I. To Become A Hollywood Movie Star

Season #4

SHOWNOTES

In this unique episode of "Speak Onstage," hosted by Dave Crane, I chat with Dr Abraham Khoureis, an expert in thought leadership, Hollywood agency, and innovative strategies. Discover how his insights and strategies, like the compassionate leadership pyramid, can transform your path in the entertainment industry. Things change rapidly and the merging between the movie and streaming TV industries are perfect for viewers but more challenging for traditional film-makers.

I first met Dr Abe when we connected during the pandemic. I was making spoken word music videos and he interviewed me about how different and inspiring my content was. I was flattered and excited to meet a kindred spirit. Weā€™ve been friends ever since.
