Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I sit down with Director & Producer Lee Cummings — also known as Zell Astin — for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to “make it” in your craft.Everyone sees the final product…But no one sees the years of unpaid work, late nights after your 9–5, the small paychecks, the self-doubt, the missed opportunities, the “is this even worth it?” moments.Lee opens up about:the behind-the-scenes grind nobody talks aboutrealizing his own struggle with follow-throughlearning to take personal responsibilityrediscovering his purpose in real timewhy action (not waiting for opportunity) is the only way forwardThis is one of those conversations that reminds you:Nothing is handed to you.Most of the magic happens off-camera.And you won’t get closer to your dream if you’re not moving.If you’re building something — a business, a craft, a brand, a life that matters — this episode is your reminder that the messy middle is where growth happens. And showing up, even when it’s slow, is the work that changes everything.
