#43: “Content” is EXPLODING! My Boy Professor Patrick Schools Us on Gettin In the Game

Wassup y’all, Episode 43! We talked trade war, we talked race, we talked content! Comedian Tito (aka Puerto Rican Stevie Wonder) was straight crackin us up!  Yo this trade war sh!t’s fo real now! China stepped up things a couple notches, so put your seat belts on y’all: gettin ready to invest in upcoming weeks is what separates the MEN from the boys.    We also talked to my boy Professor Pat Wimp - he done dropped some serious-a$$ knowledge on us! This dude: - teaches TV/Film & Digital Media at Northwestern and DePaul.  - has pitched his TV pilot to HBO - makes content for McDonald’s, Facebook & Cubs/Bulls/Sox  Check out these diamonds he dropped about the “game” of content:  - “Entertain and educate.” - “Attention is everything.”  - “To maximize your return, make several pieces of shorter content.” Best part? Pat schooled us on how to make $50,000 or $100,000 Nike-type cinematic content for $5,000 or $10,000!!! THAT is how to get a great investment return on your content money!  Sit back, relax and enjoy the episode!  SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: 04:20- Pat’s one of the TOP content creators in Chicago with 12 years experience  05:50- Stock investing: short game vs long game 08:10- Trade War: Sh!t’s gettin real since China stepped up “war” talk  16:00- Trade war will impact the entire globe 26:45- where does the USA borrow money from?  29:10- We aren’t focusing on our own problems 33:40- Patrick “ethnically ambiguous” - experience with that 35:15- How black and white people react to Patrick  39:00- Patrick’s background: production studio work  42:30- Patrick as a Professor at NU & DePaul  44:50- Which career Patrick is proud of the most? 47:40- Pat pitching TV Pilot “Public Housing Unit” to HBO 51:40- HBO: The gold standard for Patrick and most other screenwriters  55:40- Pat creates content that acts as a “salesperson” for a company 01:00:40- Nike Kaepernick campaign: good investment for the risk?  1:06:20- Making a $50k or $100k Nike-level commercial for $5k or $10k!  01:06:35- How to create a commercial for you or your business to maximize your investment return   01:15:00- Nike vs Gillette: Gillette seems to have failed 01:18:50- How to contact Patrick And Tito Connect with Amer and BNOS:  Visit the BNOS PODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/business-news-and-other-%24/id1438358922?mt=2 Visit the Amer Abdullah BLOG: http://amerabdullah.com/  Like BNOS on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/businessnewsandothershit Follow BNOS on Twitter: https://twitter.com/amer5x  Follow BNOS on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realamerabdullah
