Ep 42 – Joshua Belinfante: Living the world’s best life

Oct 5, 2020

Are you making the right life choices?

Like usual, I have a question to ask you.
And I want you to be honest with yourself here.

Can you say, without a hint of doubt, that you’re living your best life? Or you’re at least on the right path?

Or are you actually feeling misaligned – and you’re currently doing one thing, but deep down your heart desires something else? Something bigger, better, and beyond your current circumstances?

Today’s episode of Marketing and Me kicks off a month of mental health-related episodes in recognition of Mental Health Month.
I’m chatting with Josh Belinfante from Finesilver Media – who’s a filmmaker, photographer and also happens to be my cousin!

Josh has an inspirational story to share – and it all started with a major health scare when he was in his early 20s. It was the catalyst that made him reflect on his life choices. Did he really want to become a solicitor – or was he actually meant to be a filmmaker?

Let’s jump into the episode to find out!

QUESTIONS ASKED

• In ‘The world’s best film’, it’s not just about documenting people all over the world who claim to be the best in their unique fields. You also talk about your own personal journey into filmmaking. Could you please share that a bit more?
• When you made the decision to jump into filmmaking, how did you feel?
• Apart from the career change, do you live your life differently since your health scare? How do you take care of your physical and mental health?
• What do the words ‘Being your best’ mean to you?
• What are your personal tips to listeners wanting to live their best life?
