Why You Need a Mentor (And Why You Are Ready to Be One)

Описание: Mentorship is not a charity. It is an exchange.


In this episode of The Greenlight Ecosystem, Chris Anthony Hamilton breaks down his recent experience mentoring a young filmmaker through the RE:IMAGINE program. He reveals why mentorship is actually a two-way street—while he offers 20 years of on-set wisdom, he receives a masterclass in modern distribution (Twitch, streaming, and analytics) from the next generation.


Chris also dives deep into the most critical advice he gives to young artists: Financial Literacy.


He argues that you must "divorce" your revenue needs from your creative passion. Survival mode is the enemy of creativity. Chris shares practical, automated strategies—like the "Round-Up" method and using apps like Acorns—to build assets that make money while you sleep, so you can create without the anxiety of survival.


If you suffer from Imposter Syndrome and think you aren't ready to teach others, this episode will change your mind.
