Episode Transcription

Hi, I'm Tony Lindsay. And I am the writer, the executive producer, and the director of the feature film, Where Hearts Lie. And I'm here to talk to you today about change whether it's change in perspective, change in the way that you've been doing things, or just being motivated to change the way things are happening in society. One of the worst things that we can do is get stuck in doing the same old thing, expecting different results. So, sometimes we have to just stop and just take a break, take a second, and realize that if we want to achieve the success that we are aiming for, it may require that we decide to do things a little bit different or modify the way that we have been doing things. So, change has been that major factor in my life and in all of my successes. And another key element to the change in my life was witnessing the birth of my children. And that pretty much totally changed my entire perspective on life. And it just brought everything into a new direction. And so as a filmmaker, I'm pretty much motivated to influence the world and affect positive change in the way that we depict ourselves and the way that we interact with each other. And I think I'm on a pretty good path to making that difference.
