We caught up with the brilliant and insightful McGregory Frederique a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi McGregory, thanks for joining us today. Can you walk us through some of the key steps that allowed you move beyond an idea and actually launch?
When I began my career in this industry, I knew that it wasn’t going to happen overnight. I had to come up with a plan that worked for me. So I decided to write out all of my goals and what I wanted to accomplish. From there, I started strategizing using the Blue Print and Red Plan. It’s something I created to help me stay focused and on track with my goals.
Blue print is when you write out all your ideas, group them together, then place those groups into the appropriate periods of time. For example, you can’t become a millionaire by just saying you’re going to become a millionaire. Instead, you have to think about what it is you want and how you can achieve it. Everything can’t be achieved all at once, so I figured out different paths that can get me to where I want to be. The Blue Print is the stage that helps me organize all of my ideas and the Red Plan is where I execute each of those different groups at the appropriate time.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I began working in the industry four years ago after I received a random text message of someone asking me if I wanted to model or be an actor. I actually answered yes and next thing you know I was a background for Chris Rock and Adam Sandler’s film, The Week Of that is on Netflix right now. From there, I kept going and began writing and directing. I mean, if it’s something that you truly want you have to be consistent and persistent in order to chase your dreams.
I wake up every morning to go after what I believe is meant for me and I don’t believe in giving up. My work ethic is what makes me the proudest. When I get the opportunity to work with others, I like to show them that I can handle any situation or workload that comes my way. I’m a man of my word, so if I say I’m going to get it done, then I get it done.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
As a creative, the most rewarding aspect for me would be having the opportunity to create unique stories that’s never been told before. I like bringing them into this world and showing a new perspective – showing the audience that if you put your mind to something, you can create it.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on NFTs. (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice
NFTs are becoming more and more popular. It’s a new wave that everyone is jumping on and I’m excited to be a part of a new era.
