Brian Grazer (@BrianGrazer) is an Academy Award-winning producer
and New York Times bestselling author (A Curious Mind: The Secret
to a Bigger Life, with Charles Fishman) who has been making
movies and television programs for more than 25 years. Grazer and
his longtime friend and business partner Ron Howard began their
collaboration in 1985 on the hit comedies Nightshift and Splash,
and in 1986 they founded Imagine Entertainment.
In 2002, Grazer won an Oscar for Best
Picture for A Beautiful Mind (shared with Ron
Howard). In 2007, he was named one of Time's "100 Most
Influential People in the World." His films and TV series
have been nominated for 43 Academy Awards, and 131 Emmys.
In this episode, we discuss:
Brian's "supertool" that helped him earn opportunity.
How to pitch people to open doors and opportunity.
Favorite failures and lessons learned.
Brian's criteria for choosing what movies to make.
How to develop better decision-making abilities.
And much, much more.
