We were lucky to catch up with Blake Cortes recently and have shared our conversation below.
Blake, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – walk us through the story?
Everything in life is a risk. Some people take more risk than others and I’ve always been a people who was willing to take a big risk. Did they always work out, heck no. But at least I know when my life is done I won’t feel any regrets of something I was scared to try.
Blake, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Well I’m Blake Cortes and I run 16six Studios. It is a film production company that focuses on storytelling of nonprofit organizations and documentaries.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
I had to learn that you can’t please everyone. Not every client is for you and that’s ok. Wish I would’ve known that earlier.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
I don’t really know to be honest. I would think it’s my work. I was blessed to work with some great people that trusted my vision and gave me the creative freedom.
