Today's guest is award-winning filmmaker and entrepreneur James Cawley. We talk about residual income, setting yourself up for success, living life on your own terms, and traveling the world through opportunities in stock footage.

He began as a Mormon missionary, and quickly discovered a purpose beyond what he could imagine. A fairytale-like turn of events put him center stage as a Cambodian rockstar. He then turned to the world of filmmaking (winning three Student Emmy’s and a nomination for a Student Oscar); ultimately finding his niche creating viral videos on YouTube. Today, he is credited with directing some of the most successful video campaigns for the world’s largest companies. He's amassed a viewership in the hundreds of millions, and is represented by an elite Hollywood agency. We discuss his career and how he landed his first commercial client, his aspirations, meditation practices, sensory deprivation tanks, and the "why" behind his vision for the future. Join us for a conversation with A Todd Smith!
