The Sage Sayers: Meet Avatar's Sea Dragon First Mate, Isaac Te Reina. Finding Presence and Play Through Acting.

James Cameron's Avatar: the Way of Water is breaking box office records all over the world. The sci-fi epic just overtook Top Gun Maverick to become 2022's highest grossing international release and sailed past the $1.1 billion mark. Within this phenomena sits Isaac Te Reina, a filmmaker, actor, and writer from New Zealand who stars as the Sea Dragon First Mate in this Avatar epic. Isaac joined me on the Sage Sayers over the festive break to talk about his soaring filming career and all the gifts, opportunities, and knowledge he's gathered from landing a role within Avatar. His story and insights can uplift actors, entrepreneurs, aspiring leaders and hopeful business communicators all over. Isaac landed this first blockbuster role through drawing from vital qualities many of us aspire towards as communicators, especially with high-stakes audiences, like James Cameron: Courage. Creativity. Play. And most of all: Presence.You can follow Isaac Te Reina on Instagram here.
