Mind Your Business
A series of podcasts based on Mark Simon's articles of the same name. Mind Your Business has been running in Animation Magazine and on AWN.com for years. They cover all the business issues that we as creatives have to deal with on a daily basis.

The articles are all written in a humorous voice which make for a fun read. These podcasts are from the interviews Mark hosted to gain the information needed for my articles. What you will find in these interviews are all the information Mark couldn't fit into my articles.

 

Hollywood Beginnings
These podcasts are from interviews Mark conducted over the years for different books he's written. The topic is always the same, but the story is amazingly different each time.

Hollywood Beginnings finds the secrets behind the success of artists and the Hollywood elite. I find out about their education, what they did to get their first job, what worked and what didn't work. Their stories are inspiring and often quite funny. We will have interviews with animators, special-effects make-up artists, directors, producers, actors, comic book artists, caricaturists and anyone else I can find who has a great story.

Many of these interviews, and others, can be found in Mark's books Producing Independent 2D Character Animation and Storyboards: Motion In Art. These books can be purchased online at www.MarkSimonBooks.com.
