I always tell my fellow actors that this life as an artist does not have to be hard, cold, and full of struggle if we look at our lives thru eyes of LOVE....compassion for ourselves and our fellow human beings. It has changed my acting career immensly and has inspired me to create my own TV show until one that I love casts me in it.

So it happened, not by design, but organically, and has proven to be a blessing in disguise, rather than the crisis management that I thought it was at the time. I know that Clients respond to the way I feel and think about the business, and their (our) careers, even if those who would have been my Associates might think it naive. I can't tell you what an inspiration it is to hear someone who has apparently done quite well for themselves in this business, thank you very much, express a similar philosophy. I, for one, am truly appreciative of the effort you have put into sharing your views.<br /><br />Sincere thanks to you.<br /><br />Todd M.

It's a journey I relate to completely and I must confess my own often temptation to work harder at chiseling my abs than softening my heart. In spite of my angsty, career obsessed tendencies, I know on a deeper level that the "SodaCorp" model is short term thinking and that cultivating compassion in any form in this business broadens our possibilities and increases our chances of longevity. The how of that is most worthy of exploration and I so appreciate your taking the time. Further, I'll say that it is your unique perspective on this that sets you apart, not only as a manager, but also as a human being. Thanks so much for being passionate about this. I'm thrilled to be involved.
