Well-Oiled Machine | Preparing for the Unexpected

In today’s episode, I sit down with Nic Glazer to break down the systems that keep a packed production day running smoothly. We talk about protecting non-negotiables, creating white space for unexpected problems, and using experience to make filming more efficient. I share why preparation means having the right people ready to make adjustments, how private time and intentional breaks support productivity, and why experiential value, business development, and post-production content all matter. We also discuss being a student of your calendar, prioritizing family despite a demanding schedule, and using routines around sleep, activity, and travel to stay productive across different time zones.
