We recently connected with Karon Joseph Riley and have shared our conversation below.
Karon Joseph , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?
I believe in order to be successful you have to have sight beyond sight. Meaning you have to have vision, and the ability to see what isn’t there. Then have the faith and resilience to crack the veil so your vision can be revealed to the world. So long story short. Constant pressure over time equals success. Success doesn’t happen overnight but one night success happens.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I am father, actor, husband, producer, writer, director, friend, and an energy. My brand is that of a world beater. I’ve accomplished everything I’ve set out to do thus far. My mantra is to keep pedaling until the vision is clear. And the vision I have for myself is that of an artist who changes the narrative of the world by what I co create with the universe (God). I believe I am a purpose driven spirit, living and leading a human experience as we all are. I consider myself more aware of this as I’ve grown as a man. If you see me fighting a bear butt naked in 3 feet of snow with a toothpick in my mouth. You help the bear!
Have you ever had to pivot?
My very company was birthed in a pivot. Dedicated Prophecy Productions LLC. came about in the pandemic. My brothers from other mothers, Lem Collins and Marcus Munroe and I came to conclusion that since the world had stopped it would be a perfect time to move forward. We took the fear of the world and turned it into energy and produced four projects during the pandemic. Two features, a series (The Botton on Tubi) and a short (The Vault of Terrors on Youtube). And in that short window Dedicated Prophecy Productions became. So the pívot was from actor waiting on an opportunity to actor now creating and giving opportunities. So it is a win win.
How’d you meet your business partner?
I met my partner Lem Collins by saying yes to my passion. I got a call to do a part on a project that wasn’t paying, and really wasn’t up to my standard as an actor at the time, but I love to act, and it was a good friend directing so I said yes. On set I met Lem Collins and shorty after he introduced me to Marcus Munroe and now those guys are two of my best friends and partners. And we form a pretty formidable producing team, being able to act, write and direct. We are a one stop shop for anyone looking for a production company to bring a project to light or create a project from scratch and produce it from A to Z. And the best part of our partnership is there are no egos. We overstand the power of team work. And the main thing to always Keep Pedaling.
