Shonda Rhimes - Work Life w Adam Grant Podcast
Storytelling has always been at the heart of who I am. After studying film at NYU and screenwriting at Tulane, life pulled me away from my creative path. My father died. I had a tough decision, go back home for the sake of my family or stay at NYU and pursue my dream. I went back home.
After writing a screenplay for a never released movie, years passed. A free class called Pocket Cinema reignited everything. I felt alive again. The fire was stoked once again. I felt alive in a way I hadn't in years... decades.
The instructor, Coquie Hughes liked my work ethic and asked me to work on her latest indie film. I was flattered, but more than that I was encouraged. I was a kid on Xmas eve. That spark led to opportunities in indie film, editing, and ultimately helping others bring their stories to life.
I had another class on branding. I had years of experience in content, web design, and retail marketing. I could merge all of my skills into one purpose: supporting creators in building powerful, sustainable, creatively fulfilling digital identities. OCM was born and every service offered reflects it.
