15. What Are You Learning On Your Educational Journey? - Mike Jones

Show Notes Should you be going back to school to advance your education or just learn by watching videos on YouTube? There are a lot of journeys you could take to advance your career and the creative industry is definitely one of those spaces that allows for a lot of flexibility. (Some like medicine do not.) The most important part is you need to keep learning.  How you go about doing that is entirely up to you! In this episode Wesley sits down with Mike Jones for a conversation about how he got into filming and the exciting journey that it’s been for him. Quotes: “And right before my 30th birthday, guess what? I had a six-figure income, a company car, things were looking really good. And I really thought life was at a pinnacle for me right then. And then of course, that changed.” “When I think about weighing the cost benefit analysis for education, I don't know that I can do that. Because I think you just have to do you.” “But really it comes down to, 'Where do you want to go?' What are you going to be satisfied doing?  I mean, seriously, if you go and get on with a crew and you work hard, you show up early and leave late. You leave your smartphone in your car, so you're attentive on set, you'll get noticed, and you'll do work.” “You’re always in school, you are always going to be learning in this business.” “Data and statistics are good for the written word. But story and relationships are going to be better built by video.” Get a Hold of Mike Jones: [email protected]
