We’re live right now walking through our actual storyboarding workflow — start to finish — using a real short story. You’ll see how we go from: - characters - to storyboard - to daily scene breakdowns All built with the same AI pipeline we use in production. If you’re curious how cinematic stories can be built without a studio, jump in and follow along.

Ever feel like you’re being torn in three directions at once? Family… business… responsibilities… and somehow you’re supposed to carry all of it while chasing big goals? I hit that wall this week. I thought I was overwhelmed because of the tasks -- business, family, houses, personal goals. But the real problem wasn’t the workload. It was the identity conflict. I’m trying to be:• - A present dad - A founder chasing $1M - The guy who fixes every house issue - A supportive husband - And the GOAT of anime All at once. That tension is what drains you.. not the work. And it makes sense: my strengths naturally pull me toward big ideas, deep relationships, and wanting to do it all myself. Here’s what changed everything: 1. Pick one North Star. Not five directions. ONE. 2. Stop owning problems that someone else could handle. 3. Treat home as fuel, not guilt. 4. Keep only the promises to myself that actually matter. Once I admitted the real issue, the pressure dropped immediately. So let me ask you: What identity conflict is actually causing your overwhelm right now? Drop it below.. someone else probably needs to hear it too.

-- What Makes This Work? Just created a new NotebookLM-generated breakdown called “Anatomy of a Thriller Opening.” Honestly, it did a solid job pulling out the tension mechanics and structure … but I want to hear from you'll. What do YOU think makes a thriller opening actually land? -- Is it the atmosphere? The first shock? The character hook? The pacing? If you watched the breakdown: - What did NotebookLM get right? - What did it miss? - And what parts should be emphasized more if we turn this into a video format for the channel? I want this to be a community-driven breakdown, so drop your thoughts below — even one sentence helps.Let’s build the ultimate thriller-opening formula together. 🔥🎬
