If you were winning awards and clearly dominating your industry, would you let yourself tap out or would you instead take the leap to test out your skills in a new industry? The most recent episode of That Moment with Daymond John featured the incredible Eriq La Salle, who dove headfirst into the latter. 



It takes a confident but strategic person to try your hand in a whole new skillset, but Eriq knew he had what it took to pivot from a successful acting and directing career to an author status (without skipping a beat when it comes to continuing to create and star in new film/TV!). He joined me on That Moment to share the moments that led to him releasing the latest book in his fiction series and what he has in the works on and behind the camera.



Eriq shared some powerful insights that listeners will definitely learn from, like:


Where the drive to become an author actually came from


What to do when you’ve done literally everything right…but still can’t succeed


Navigating industries that are known for being cutthroat and forming genuine relationships


Finding inspiration as you try to figure out what’s next for yourself


Why you need to prepare before the opportunity is even there


Making room for everyone in your space and the importance of representation


And more!



Host: Daymond John



Producers: Beau Dozier & Shanelle Collins; Ted Kingsbery, Chauncey Bell, & Taryn Loftus
