One Week Job Page #8

the most recent being Rambo.

Fine, get me the LA Times,

who else?

It's a rip-off, right?

Now, I know you don't have

a creative bone in your body...

How do you know that?

Yeah, you're about as creative

as a three dollar bill!

All right, I'll call you later.

What we do here is obviously

produce movies,

and most people don't know

what that means,

so we're going to try

to give you a little insight

to what a Hollywood producer

does.

You know, basically

I'm responsible

for buying the script,

deciding who is going

to direct the movie,

who is going to star

in the movie.

It's my job to also

secure those actors

and also to the budget,

make sure

that we have the money.

Unfortunately, we get probably

I have a very small staff,

we like to keep it tight.

I'll have you read scripts

the entire week

and actually be my eyes and ears

for stuff that we are

looking out for.

So when you read,

then you have to ask yourself,

"Okay, is this something

that I think everybody

would want to go see?"

I mean, if my taste isn't

in sync with America's taste,

then my box office weekend

most likely will be zero,

and that's what

we are trying to prevent.

You know, it's really cool

to kind of see

how things come together

from concept

to actually

bringing people together,

getting the producers together,

forming a company,

and making

the necessary calls,

getting the paperwork in place

to actually going

to production

and putting

something on television.

Now, here's the thing,

and I'm not playing with you.

It's called oneweekjob.com.

They have a website,

and you can go to it,

and every week this guy, Sean,

does a different job,

and this week he's working

for a movie producer... me!

It's sick, isn't it?

It's a great idea.

All right, I'll call you later.

Bye.

Randy is really funny.

He's always high energy,

just left and right!

His mind is just going

all over the place.

You know, people,

when they watch

Access Hollywood,

Entertainment Tonight,

that's what they think

our life is.

You know, it's a lot of business

and it's a lot of negotiation.

The other side of it

is you get to go

to the premieres,

and that's the perks of the job,

but for me, the passion

is making good films

and trying to put together

a great film

so that I can take an audience,

you know, on a journey.

It's my first day on the job

as a real estate agent

here in Hollywood Hills.

You know, I never thought

that I would want

to be a realtor.

When I was younger, I went

through a bunch of jobs.

I thought I wanted to be

an actor,

I then did voice-over

for a while.

Real estate is something

I kind of

got into accidentally.

What we are doing right now

is going on Caravan,

which is where we go

look at houses

that are currently on the market

for clients that we have.

So I can look at them,

see them for myself,

and then tell my client

about them

whether I think it's something

that will fit them or not.

I didn't realize how much

being a real estate agent

is a lot like running

your own small business.

You are kind of working

within the framework

of a larger parent company,

but in fact it's really

your own

kind of independent business,

organizing your own schedule,

your own hours,

and meeting

with different clients,

and kind of coming

to the office when it suits you,

and when you need to.

Now that we've gone through

the preliminary questions

with the client,

and so we have a better idea

of what they are looking for

in a house,

it's time to actually

go out there

and look at

some different houses

and try and get a list together

that the client is going to be

interested in looking into.

The best thing about real estate

for me

is when I walk into a house

and I know that that house

is the right home for someone.

Knowing that they are going

raise their family there

and that they are going

to have memories there,

and then showing that house

to someone for the first time

is just kind of cool,

because their eyes light up

and they are like,

"Oh, this is it,

this is the right one!

So that's fun...

that's the fun part for me.

I think I'm the most happy

when I'm in the moment,

and when I'm looking around

and I'm just soaking up

my surroundings.

I'm saying, "This is it!

This is life!

Enjoy this!"

The positives of a mindset

like Sean's world

is that anything is possible.

I know that sounds clich,

but it's really true.

The only limitations you have

are the limitations

that you put on yourself.

One thing I've always loved

about traveling

is that I never know

what tomorrow's going to bring.

I wake up in the morning

and think...

what do I want to do today?

It's just continually

open-ended possibility.

I am a lot more of a realist,

however, I believe

in plan A, plan B, and plan C.

Things with everything

were just picking up

at tornado speed for Sean,

and as much as I was trying

to be there for him

from halfway

across the continent,

it's just not always possible

to be there

for the ins and outs.

So, just got off the phone

with Danna.

She was really down,

had a really terrible day...

wasn't too sure.

I was like, hmm...

maybe I'll start backing away

and pushing away from her a bit,

and maybe that's like

kind of stop calling

and give her her room,

to figure out what she needs.

I was just like,

"Whoa, what are you doing?

You're in over your head."

Like, get out of this

big trouble territory.

This guy is on the other side

of the continent, like...

what are you doing? Wake up!

And so I took a huge step back,

and was just like, all right,

you know,

I'm here for him

when he needs me,

but I'm not going to overtly

pursue this relationship

any longer.

So here I am, it's week 43.

I'm a motivational speaker

in Denver, Colorado.

Eric Chester, I'm working with

this week, has a talk here,

a presentation

with a student council.

It's about 14 high schools,

He's actually going

to pass the mic over to me

and tell them a little bit

about what I've been up to

for the past 43 weeks

and why I'm doing

what I'm doing.

It's just about

to get going here.

I'm a little nervous...

never been a motivational

speaker before.

It is something that I would

like to do in the future,

share my story

and all that I've learned

over the past year,

so hopefully it goes well.

You know, kids are

dead-on honest.

You can con a con,

you can fool a fool.

But you can't kid a kid.

I didn't know much,

but I pretended to know

so that you know what wouldn't

happen to you know who.

And all of a sudden

I became a teenager,

suddenly I knew everything.

If you don't resonate with them,

they'll just turn around

and they'll walk right out

on you.

In fact, sometimes

when you do resonate

they'll turn around

and walk right out

because they don't know

what to say.

They may be a little spellbound.

As I look out in this room

today,

I see people

who like quality of life.
