Take 16C Mike McGowan - Executive Producer, Philanthropist, Non Profit Co-Founder

(Recorded 1/2/2022) Starting the New Year off right with a 7 hour (!!) podcast with non profit co-founder, philanthropist, and Executive Producer Mike McGowan. This is some of the most fun I’ve had doing a podcast. We discuss everything life and filmmaking, including the value of networking-how chance encounters can lead to some of our greatest opportunities (it’s who you know), the importance of breaking through your fears- how the pain of inaction can be much worse, and how it’s much better knowing you helped someone- than getting recognition for it.
