How to turn your side hustle into part of your BIG STORY
I have always been fascinated by movies as engaging visual stories.
For some reason, I started studying Italian as a side interest in NY’s Greenwich Village.
Wow! It was like wearing VR glasses with different cultural lenses to see the world.
Such that I used to joke that every Saturday I literally spent a few hours in Italy…
I started watching Italian films and bringing up ideas in my advanced language classes.
Somebody mentioned, hey why don’t you arrange a screening for the class?
I did. And for a full year in San Diego, I curated a monthly screening of classic films.
Right after I moved back to New York, I resumed my Italian cinema discussion classes.
I started cafePellicola.com a blog that is dedicated to celebrating fine Italian cinema.
The blog was great but I missed the direct interaction with the audience.
So, I produced film festivals that included movie introduction and post-screening Q&A.
Then Cafe Pellicola Live came along where I interviewed online Italian filmmakers and scholars.
During all that time, I was leading digital marketing programs in major corporations.
2 years ago, I relocated to Miami and explored ways to use my corporate experience.
Colliding two worlds, I co-founded the Visual Storytelling Institute (VSI).
4.6B daily content pieces and decreasing attention spans – was our call for adventure.
After researching the space, we developed a 9-step My Visual Story framework.
By which, we help businesses articulate, visualize, and spread their business stories.
Spreading the VSI gospel, we met great new people that saw what we saw.
One of them was Massimo Lico founder of ML Visual Storytelling agency in Rome, Italy.
As part of VSI’s global outreach, we found an exciting common ground.
We’re launching a new Webinar program that nicely ties together this one-line narrative.
On 1/31/17, we’ll introduce an innovative model that truly leverages my 2 passions:
Visual strategies from classic Italian cinema to empower visual storytelling marketers.
And in Italian!
English version of this Webinar will be announced later.
If you have Italian-speaking friends or colleagues, please share. Register for FREE here.
So what is the big lesson from this yarn, you ask?
Pay attention to your side hustles as that’s where your BIG STORY is waiting!
