Good morning, 32'ers. Happy Oscars Sunday.
Don't forget, it's not too late to get your Oscars ballot in. Prizes and bragging rights are at stake. Fill out your ballot here.
Leading up to the ceremony, I have two more videos for your enjoyment as part of this edition of Coffee and Content.
First up, a classic and extremely celebrated video of Michael Caine discussing acting in film.
Next, from Actualized.org, comes a terrific video on overcoming writer's block. Whether you're writing screenplays, novels, short form content or even music, this is one you won't want to miss.
As always, I ask you to pay it forward and share this content with your creative friends and your various networks. I also welcome all thoughts in the comments section below.
Enjoy the content, enjoy the Oscars and, most importantly, enjoy the day!
Cheers!
