How can helping others lead to your own success? Robin Wright & Alfonso Carrion

When we make helping others a primary goal of our personal and professional lives, something amazing can happen. Whether you're trying to break into Hollywood or pursuing career aspirations of your own, creating authentic relationships and helping others can be the key to your own success.   In this episode of Pillow Talk, Robin Wright speaks to our very own Pillow Talk film editor Alfonso Carrion about how he broke into the career of his dreams, first working nights and weekends and eventually working his way up to land jobs on major feature films and on House of Cards with Robin. Alfonso talks about the importance of building meaningful and reciprocal relationships, especially in Hollywood where the phrase "it's who you know" really is key.  In fact, Alfonso believes so deeply in the power of giving back that he's made helping others the center of his professional life. He started his own mentorship program called Ask the Fonz which offers a free learning portal on YouTube and social media which provides access to a community of aspiring film editors from around the world.  As everyone increasingly turns to online video for communication and storytelling of all kinds, Alfonso has never been busier as a film editor. He now finds himself in the middle of a network of friends, colleagues, and opportunities for career growth that are the direct result of nurturing relationships and helping others all along his path.
