Have you ever found yourself saying, "if only I had more [insert missing ingredient], I'd be able to succeed on a totally different level?" Yeah, me too. Thing is, with very rare exception, that's never true. Taking your game, your craft, your career, your creative or innovative juices, your art and outcomes to the next level is often not about more, but about less. Less money, less ability, less resources, less freedom, less of everything. When you are constrained, it forces you to operate on a whole different level. And, that's often where the real magic happens. That phenomena, why we're wired that way, and a fun bit of research is what this week's GLP Riff is all about. Hosted on Acast.

  • Today's episode is brought to you by Camp Good Life Project.

  • Now, you guys have probably heard me jamming about this for a couple of months now.

  • We literally take over kids sleepaway camp about 90 minutes outside of New York City for three and a half days at the end of August.

  • And if you're listening to this in real time, that's just about a month from now.

  • So it's coming up really soon.

  • And we bring together an amazing group of entrepreneurs, makers, movers and shakers, people who are really just inspired by a shared set of values and beliefs and aspirations.

  • You can work in a huge corporation.

  • You can be a solo artist.

  • It's really about this beautiful community and shared values to create three and a half days of what can only be described as pure magic and intense learning.

  • So if that sounds interesting to you, if you feel like the end of August, that would be a great place for you to be.

  • And you could really use those three and a half days as a complete mind body business life perspective reset.

  • Go check out the details@goodlifeproject.com.

  • camp so I was reading this fantastic article in Rolling Stone as a cover story a couple months back.

  • Actually, I think it was the end of 2014, and it was called Anchor Management, about the improvisational moviemaking odyssey that's become anchorman and the sequel that was released, Anchorman Two.

  • And at one point, the co writer and director of both movies, Adam McKay, shares the first movie.

  • No one's getting paid anything for the second one.

  • You want to do new shit, you need a little boost in production.

  • And everyone now gets paid 40 times what they used to get paid.

  • So McKay asked Paramount for $80 million, and they laughed.

  • So he drops it to 60 million.
