EP 73 - Josh Duhamel
Today we have the talented, the determined, the charming Josh Duhamel. We talked about what it takes to get a movie made in Hollywood. Josh birthed his baby "Buddy Games" after 6 years of hard work, to get it made, the way he wanted it to be made. The movie had a Thanksgiving release at No. 1. Josh is a very down to earth North Dakota boy. He abandoned his career path of becoming a dentist, when he got a part on the popular soap opera, All My Children. From there, Josh had a new path, with no plan B. He had to make it work. and that he did. Josh is a great example of how faith in oneself coupled with good old fashion hard work, can bring you the success you want. Make sure to check out Buddy Games, and then you will be looking forward to his Netflix release of "Jupiter's Legacy" in 2021. Go Vikings!
