This was a great listen, so much so that I’ve listened to it twice.
Brian Koppelman, screenwriter/director to several movies including Rounders and The Illusionist, spoke with Tim Ferriss, author of the 4-Hour Work Week and 4-Hour Body, on the Tim Ferriss Show.
Koppelman talks about rejection and powering through it all. Before he reached the level he’s at now he spent two hours every morning working on a screenplay with his writing partner. That screenplay was Rounders. He made the time. This speaks to many of creatives that may have a day job for the steady income while working on our passion projects.
And in this crazy modern world we live in, I tweeted out to Koppelman just to say how much I appreciated his insights. He replied and retweeted. Pretty cool for a guy in the big time.
@BrendanOMeara @tferriss thanks, man! Glad you dug it. I had a blast talking to Tim.
