KEY TAKEAWAYS Authenticity counts for a lot in the world of entertainment. It's not enough to be talented - people also need to want to work with you. Being open, honest and authentic is the key to that. You find ideas and draw inspiration from the places you visit and the people you meet. Always be open to influences, because they can take you on paths you'd never previously considered. Finding your groove in the world of entertainment is all about experimentation. You try things out and focus on the parts that work. Finding your flow is essential in the landscape of comedy Sometimes, you don't even need the jokes to work. You just need to find that flow state, and you'll be funny no matter what happens. BEST MOMENTS 'Anyone who's a creator or an actor will have misgivings' 'I wear my heart on my sleeve' 'This was a great way to earn a crust and have some fun' 'If you're in tune - in flow - then you'll be comical, regardless' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study        The Cuban Brothers - https://thecubanbrothers.com ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
