Ep. 20 - James E. McMillan On How To Pivot and Transform From A Mistake And Still Win

How does it feel when you are on your own and you realize that you may not become the person you thought you were because you made one stupid mistake? The crazy thing is, entrepreneurship itself is all about dreams and hustle and stupid mistakes and backstabbers and cracking business (and sometimes race and gender) codes in order to survive and thrive. James E. McMillan, who works with artists while advocating for genius at his entertainment law practice, describes his astonishing odyssey as a very young vibrant man packed with knowledge of his greatness by his father, to a major misstep in a hotel room, then the re-opening of the door of hope by a mentor that took the time to help him become visible not only to himself but to his faded and distant dream.
