Chad is truly the salt of the earth.  I don’t say that only because he has salt and pepper hair.  He is truly one of the most genuine and kind guys I have met working in film.  And he happens to be the main producer of the Chosen, which has now reached over 200 million views on their app alone.  It’s been a wild, wild ride and he has been on the forefront, helping keep the ship afloat.  We joked that if anything was going to happen, it would always happen on that show.  From freak storms to freezing temperatures, to managing thousands and thousands of extras all wearing period pieces, The Chosen has had its fair share of challenges.  And Chad has been in the boxing ring, taking care of each of the fires.  We talked a lot about what it takes to rely on God and each other, and how to avoid the self centeredness that plagues the industry.  Chad gave some incredible bits of wisdom on the business side of filmmaking and talked about how to find joy in the challenges.  Great advice for life, really.  Enjoy! _____ Contact us: <ul> <li>Reach out to us on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/lemonadestandstories/'>Instagram</a>, <a href='https://bit.ly/3pCuJpY'>Facebook</a>, or <a href='https://bit.ly/31fpEdS'>Linkedin</a> </li> <li>Visit our <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmH2fIDpAIkD5p0sjewhBSw'>Youtube</a> channel for the video</li> </ul> Thanks for listening.
