In the final installment of the Into the Industry series, Janet moves from theory to execution. You have the roadmap (Part 1) and the mindset (Part 2); now it’s time to design your future.

This episode is about making the decision to be great. Janet explains why the film industry isn’t a lottery you hope to win, but a business you can master with certainty. She breaks down the "Get It Factor"—the specific behaviors and knowledge that make you invaluable on set—and shares her personal journey from "outsider" to Emmy-winning sound mixer for National Geographic and major commercial campaigns.

Stop planning your career from where you are today (scared, new, unsure). Start planning it from the outcome you want. Learn how to skip the 10-year struggle and compress your timeline into a single year of massive growth.

In this episode:

• • The Power of "Deciding": Why a big, scary goal (like winning an Oscar) is actually the safest way to build a career.

  • The "Get It" Factor: The specific on-set behaviors that get you hired back immediately.

  • Compressing Time: How to skip the decade-long "PA Grind" and move into your dream craft (Directing, DPing, Writing) in just one year.

  • The Invitation: Your final call to join Into the Industry and make 2026 your breakthrough year.
