"Obstacles are good news"- David Nichtern

“If you’re not hitting obstacles, you’re not really going anywhere, you know. When you have comfort and sort of a settled quality, you’re not really meeting any kind of challenge and you’re missing an opportunity to grow and expand what your capacity is.”

This quote, from episode 15 of our podcast with David Nichtern, discusses how in order to grow your business or self you need to face challenges. He encourages business owners and creatives to push and believe in themselves to overcome the obstacles they face.

“Don’t just show up to a shoot, then don’t ever say goodbye, leave and be like “here are you files”. I’ve dealt with so many other filmmakers, they just have bad attitudes... that’s not the way to be. Be cool because it comes back”.
