  • EP 443 Getting Kicked Out Of Netflix
    Jun 3 2025

    In this episode of Inside the Mind, I take you back in time to tell one of the craziest and most defining stories of my career: The time I flew across the country and got kicked out of Netflix.

    I talked about what it was like pitching without a deal, sending custom packages to Netflix execs, showing up without a meeting, and what happened when security escorted me out of the building.

    We also dive into the backlash that followed, the unexpected opportunities that came from it, and the deeper lesson I learned... even when the world tells you you’re crazy.
