“Thought of you today” was the email “subject”

CEO emails me last night:

“I saw a documentary today called “won’t you be may neighbor “
It was awesome. I recommend it”

Margy Whitmer, the film’s producer, in the early description in the trailer, says…

“You take all the elements that make up good television and do the exact opposite, you have Mister Rodgers Neighborhood. Low production values, simple set, an unlikely star. Yet, it worked.”

Wow.

So i asked why…

He said:

I saw in the documentary you. I think you strive to make the world a better place in everything you do. Your not perfect but an inspiration

Upon reading his answer, it occured to me, “i did not know this.”

Is the industry standard something you have to accept?

Speaking of failing to succeed…

Are you a purple cow?

No?

Then why should anyone pay attention to you?

The aspiring Disney animator jumped at the chance to speak with me (for free).

Our conversation was yesterday while walking to the gym.

One of the first things he shared was a story of him dragging his mom to the wall he had drawn on, “Look mommy, it says I am an animator.”

From that, later in our conversation, i suggested that maybe what makes him a purple cow is his ability to pretend and (possibly) to get others to pretend.

He was astonished and inspired.

What’s your purple cow?

Playing it safe is risky

Underdog, quirky, misfit, outlier.
