Tim,
This is great stuff! Pitchfest is my first podcast, but what I’ve heard is great so far! I’ll work my way through the rest of the podcasts soon. Keep up the good work!
Go Sox!

Thanks very much Mr Coyne. I am listening from Sydney, Australia – and this podcast really gives us an insight into Hollywood and LA.

It helps us by giving us some sort of understanding or appreciation of life and people in Hollywood, should we think of basing ourselves over there.

Also in Australia, we always think that Hollywood (and the US generally) must be a boiling pot frenzy of the very best ideas written by the very best writers, but as this podcast episode shows they are just like the rest of us with some good ideas and some not so good, in my humble opinion. It makes us feel normal and gives us hope.

Keep on doing these pieces which give us a slice of life about Hollywood and how the industry works there.

All the best, Walter

Thanks so much Walter. I didn’t know I had any listeners in Australia. Very cool! I’ll do my best to keep the “slice of life” shows coming. Thanks for listening! Spread the word about the show and drop me a line if you ever make it to Hollywood.

Podcast…Pitchfest…A+ reporting.

Listening to other’s pitch, you feel for the producers and really appreciate their compassion and attention…mining for diamonds in a coal pile.

Listening to your interview…what a great relationship building tool. The rapport your built led very naturally into your pitch.

Your pitch…proves that there are many elements to success…all of which need to come together to make a sale…A) Meet the right person B) Build Rapport…you zeroed in on the Massachussetts connection C) Have a great product D) Share your qualifications and passion… It was all there… D) Leave them something to remember you by…both the one sheet and the podcast were fantastic, going the extra mile touches…

I haven’t explored further, but I hope your career track exceeds all of your expectations!
