My three favorite quotes from last night's episode of "The Cutting Room" with @jimmy_daly...
👉 "If you're going to write something and present it as a piece of work, you better have thought through every single way a reader could develop skepticism."
👉 "I want to help this writer think more broadly about the company they work for, the industry they're in, and the reader where this piece is just the tiniest little sliver of their day."
👉 "When you as a writer open up a doc and see 100 comments, it's so deflating, but if you can jump on a call and say, "why do you think this an important thing to write about?" it makes you think about those decisions, instead of just resolving comments."
@realBrookNash, you're our next guest, think you can top those?

"I don't know what I was put on this Earth to do..."
This is one of the many reasons why, I think, Soul has resonated so much with everyone, and is why it has been generating SO MUCH discussion.
The movie is an exploration of existentialism at it's finest.
(A thread)
- Passion vs Purpose
- Living up to expectations
- Being your own worst enemy
- Feeling "stuck"
- Taking the mundane for granted
- Not seeing our impact on others
Would you be satisfied if you died tomorrow?
These are universal themes we've all contemplated.
Perhaps it would have always done well; Pixar has a way of doing that.
But Soul was a particularly poignant way to cap off a year that has had literally every person in the world question some part of their existence.
