 She told me she could sort of sneak me in as like a caterer if I wore a suit and tie So she's like look it's in a month and if I were you I would do your research And I did just that I watched all his movies I read his eight, you know 800 page biography and I finally get there and sure enough Spielberg You know in the beginning of the party is like 20 feet away from me But he's talking to like George Lucas and Jeffrey Katzenberg and Jack Black and the flinches in full effect and finally When it was my time to like try to make my move. I was completely frozen mouth-wired shut feet turned to stone and I lost my chance And I go to the bathroom and I told myself and again this goes back to what you had mentioned if I don't push through this my entire journey will be over before it started and And I go back to the party and I just you know Spielberg's in one set of the room I'm I'm the other Spielberg's on one side. I go to the other and this is like really awkward dance and Finally, I see him walking towards the exit and again my fear of failing Was now even more powerful than my fear of getting rejected. So I just start sprinting through the party now I'm dodging waiters. I'm going around to old ladies and I finally go up to him and I'm like mr. Spielberg And he turns around and I remember like his eyes eyebrows shooting up and he puts his arms in the air and I like coil back And he gives me this big hug And he's like I've been on a college campus all day and you're the first student I've met And I'm like, can I ask you a question? He's like absolutely just what if you just walk with me Which by the way, I've learned is a great little thing that always works if you just walk with someone to their car What are they what are they gonna say? They're not gonna say no So I'm walking with him to his car and he asked me what I'm working on and I just I didn't have a pitch I just started pouring my heart out to him telling me about this dream and Finally, I'm like mr. Spielberg. Would you? Would you do an interview for the book? And I see like his jaw clench, you know, and he looks at me and he's like You know, I don't do interviews unless it's to promote a movie or for my foundation And then he looked up and I remember like him squinting even though the Sun wasn't bright and Almost as if he was debating something in his mind and he comes back and looks at me and he goes, you know what? I'm gonna give you a maybe Go out and do this go get all your other interviews and come back to me And I was like wow like thank you so much and he gave me a hug and he walks away He goes to his car and then before I can leave he turns back around walks back toward me and goes I Really meant that I Believe you can do this. I don't know what it is, but I believe you can make this possible and From there. He gave me one of the most important things anyone can give you Which is that possibility? Yeah, chance. Yeah, and What's so interesting to me about that is You have this idea you sit down with your friends and now it's happening Yeah, and the first crucial moment. You're like, I don't have a pitch I just got to go with it. I just got to go with my gut and I think a lot of times we had Warren Klopp on Last month talking about pitching I think a lot of times we feel like there's a magic phrase or a magic key that we just seem to say the Right words and it's gonna happen and we lose out on that heartfelt genuine moment where you know what? I'm just gonna be me. Yeah, and this is my chance and it resonated and he gave you the maybe So you ran home and told everyone I got a baby from Steven Spielberg this book is happening
