My guest, Gordon Firemark, blended 2 careers that he was passionate about-TV/Film Production and Law. From an entertainers perspective, he's very generous with his time and hosts his own podcast "Entertainment Law Update" and more.
At a young age, Gordon started out his career working with sound, lighting and special effects in theatre and completing his B.A. in radio, television and film. Gordon Firemark certainly had enough credentials for a very successful career. Yet apparently it wasn't enough, or maybe, he eventually came around and listened to his mother:) He got a law degree and is most generous with his time and expertise in the field of entertainment law.
He blended interests from both sides of his brain, his talent and natural ability to help others. He's a hard worker, a committed dad and has a happy disposition.
I so enjoyed hearing stories of his childhood and his mother Roz (Rosalynn), who was compassionate, encouraging, believer in a strong education and a big advocate for gratitude and appreciation. "My mom enjoyed the moments but didn't necessarily feel the need to make the moments happen", say Gordon.
Mark has an interesting story he shares about his great-grandfather emigrating from Eastern Europe to the United States and his port of entry was Ellis Island.
Hope you enjoy this episode of Should Have Listened To My Mother
