Brant Pinvidic has sold over 100 TV shows and movie projects to every major network in Hollywood. But one day, while standing in the lobby of MTV, he realized he hated the industry he had conquered.

- How to pitch your business clearly in 3 minutes or less.
- The "whiplash" method of storytelling.
