| 9/1/26 | Five Lessons for Getting Back to a Better Future | Five Lessons for Getting Back to a Better FutureMoving forward after a crucible with conviction, even when you're uncertain you'll be successful, is just one of five key truths for overcoming setback and failure we discuss today in our big-picture look at the lessons we learned from our recently completed summer series, BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA.We suggest you grab a pen and some paper so you can jot down each of the points we unpack, because when taken together they form a succinct roadmap for the critical steps necessary to move from your worst day to your greatest opportunity.To watch any of the eight episode that made up the series, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTWXKugaL3c&list=PLQGGLSPE_kFs | — | ||||||

That's the chief lesson of Jurassic Park — but it's not one the man who brought dinosaurs back to life and turned them into theme-park attractions learns until it's too late.This week, in the fifth episode of our special summer series BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA, we discuss the crucibles unleashed when John Hammond uses his vast wealth to create what he thinks will fill the world with wonder but winds up filling the attraction he builds with death and terror.How can understanding where Hammond went wrong help you avoid your own crucibles or overcome them when they hit?

At least until their son Marty starts doing some time-traveling in a souped-up DeLorean.This week, in the fourth episode of our special summer series BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA, we look at the challenges the McFlys face — from being bullied by Biff Tannen across two generations to not believing in themselves enough to muster the resilience to turn their trials into triumph.How can understanding how they master these challenges help you overcome your own?

| 7/14/26 | BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA II Alien | Poor leadership. It's the Achilles heel of the ship's captain in the movie ALIEN, which we discuss this week in the second episode of our special summer series BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA.As the movie makes clear, the only way to overcome leadership that's lacking is when others on the team step up and do what they know to be right, regardless of rank or hierarchy.How can understanding that help you overcome your own challenges?
