Telling Denzel Washington the best thing Russell Crowe ever said to me!
I’m often asked, “WHO was your favorite celebrity interview?” I’ll always go back to this story. I go into greater detail in my book, Live Your Playlist, but this 23-second version captures the essence of the story.
I was 22 years old with little interviewing experience. Not quite confident in myself yet. I was flown to LA to interview @russellcrowe for the film THE INSIDER. This is pre-Gladiator. He was kind and generous with his time. He recorded a game-changing message for me during our interview. I settled into a good run in tv. 10 years later I had the opportunity to tell him what it meant to me (with Denzel in the room!). #pinchme #lifemoment
I’ve been a fan of Russell Crowe and his work ever since! And I take the meaning of that moment with me even now as I’ve moved past tv and owning my video production company @piscesrisingmedia.
The takeaway: One kind gesture can make a huge impact on someone’s confidence. Be good to people. Help others. Use kind words. Words have impact. Lead with a good heart. ❤️
Sharing this from an event I attended a couple weeks ago. The Rock Hall rolled out the red carpet for #73 Joe Thomas! It was really special to celebrate this great human being, elite athlete, and someone who loves Cleveland with my family. My first time “experimenting” with a 360 degree spin Photo Booth! I had no idea what I was doing, so pretty much laughed through it all.
Over 20 years in the business, but I still need retakes! Haha! This is a clip from filming with our client Herman's Furniture & Design. I’m also a brand ambassador for this family-owned company. Top 3 things I love most about them? 1. Quality of product. 2. Highly talented interior design team and the personal care you get from the designers. 3. Local, small business! I have a soft spot for small businesses. 🇺🇸
