Editor's Notes
- Hook One in a million make it, that’s what they say about people pursuing a career in the entertainment business. Normally that would steer someone into a different career but me, the entertainment business is everything I always wanted to be involved with.
- I have been told many times that it is one in a million who makes it in this industry. The reason everyone told me that was to put fear in my head and hope I take a safer route. Instead that excited me and motivated me to take on a huge risk and be the person I want to be rather then the person everyone thinks I should be.
- Introduction My name is Justin Grasso, I am a student in the entertainment business program at Full Sail University and I work full time to get my foot into the business I love.
- I never wanted to be just average in every one else’s eyes. I wanted to always entertain people in some certain way whether it was doing it myself or finding the person who could do it. When I realized that I had a good way of getting people what they wanted entertainment wise, I thought I should pursue this as a career rather then taking the safe route as they would call it considering this is a tough business to break into.
- My competitive advantage is knowing how to do multiple things. While others may put all of their focus into one part of the field, I put my focus into everything so I can learn how to take control.
- Growing up I would find myself wanting to stay in and create different media projects or do research on how the business works rather then go out. Others may just see this type of interest as a hobby but I thought to myself why not actually pursue this as a career. If I come up with certain ideas I should try and actually make them happen instead of hope someone else in the industry creates it.
- I never felt like I watched movies or listened to music the same way that my peers did. It was not just for my own entertainment, it was for me to learn how to create my own music or production. I always critiqued movies while watching them by thinking what could have been done differently to make them better;
- Being confident in your own work is very important so I like to have a reason to be confident so I can accomplish tasks at one hundred percent.
- Comcast Newsmakers: Working behind the scenes and producing television.
- Past Experience: Performed and booked at many venues.
- Freelance Writer: Writing articles for blog sites and scripts.
- As an entrepreneur, I want to work with other entrepreneurs with the same mindset as myself. Young independent workers with the same goals but have different ideas and ways to reach the success they want.
- My target audience would be multi talented and creative. Someone who strives to be a jack-of-all-trades and a stand out.
- Normally I am also driven by pressure. I tend to work better when there is a lot on the line and I don’t have too much room for error. I pride myself on being able to be thrown into pressure and coming out on top.
- Skills: Hard working, dedicated, positive attitude and always willing to what it takes to get the job done is what I offer to my future/current co.workers and employers.
- On my journey I have made many mistakes to learn from. Mistakes can set you one step back but can help you get two steps forward in the future.
