I've talked with countless creators, organizers and non-profits who feel hamstrung and overwhelmed, and I get it; but I think the first step to getting out from under the weight of making media that matters is to systematize your workload.

An important thought experiment I made in a screenwriting lab years ago. I just thought to myself, "if there were a game show where you could win a life-changing amount of money by changing your own brother's, sister's, mom's or dad's beliefs on one issue you cared about, how would you do it?" I know it's not easy, nor would it be quick. There's no magic combination of words you could string together to make them change on a dime. It would take investment; investment into who they are, what they believe, what they've been through, and what they hope for. But, for the most part, it's possible.

What I believe is most important is that you see what impact really is; learning, growing and improving. That is the key. Now, how will you do it?
