Entrepreneur: Attorney Jalene Mack discusses ten tips on developing your business.

Entrepreneur: Attorney Jalene Mack discusses ten tips on developing your business.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Attorney Jalene Mack

Widely known as “America’s Favorite Entertainment Attorney.” The episode focuses on protecting creative and business assets, avoiding scams, and building a solid foundation for success in the entertainment industry and beyond.

🎯 Key Themes & Takeaways 🔹 The Lure of the Bad Deal

  • Jalene warns about scammers posing as producers or financiers in the entertainment industry.
  • These individuals often:
    • Claim to have access to major networks or funding.
    • Ask creators to sign away rights or pay deposits under false pretenses.
    • Lack a verifiable digital footprint (e.g., no IMDb, LinkedIn, or credible references).
  • Rashawn emphasizes the danger of the “lottery mentality” — believing one deal will change everything.

🛡️ Legal Red Flags

  • Never assign your copyright without legal review.
  • Be cautious of contracts that require you to relinquish ownership or control.
  • Escrow accounts can be manipulated if you don’t control the signature authority.
  • Always verify the legitimacy of a deal and the people behind it.

🧠 Jalene Mack’s Top 10 Business Development Tips

  1. Identify Your Project

    • Know what you’re creating (film, TV, product, etc.).
    • Define the scope and format clearly.
  2. Make Sure You Have a Plan

    • Create a business and finance plan.
    • Know where your funding will come from and how it will be used.
  3. Form a Team

    • Surround yourself with experts (lawyers, accountants, producers).
    • Avoid “yes people” — you need honest feedback.
  4. Prepare a Budget

    • Hire a line producer or financial expert.
    • Account for everything: cast, crew, locations, marketing, etc.
  5. Form a Business Entity

    • Establish an LLC or corporation to protect your personal assets.
  6. Get an EIN (Employer Identification Number)

    • Required for tax and banking purposes.
  7. Open a Business Bank Account

    • Keep personal and business finances separate.
  8. Protect Your Assets

    • Register copyrights and trademarks.
    • Use NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) to safeguard ideas.
  9. Contracts

    • Always put agreements in writing.
    • Hire an attorney experienced in your specific industry (e.g., film, music, TV).
  10. Marketing

    • Don’t assume people will show up just because your product is good.
    • Build a brand and promote it strategically.

Overcoming the Odds: A self-taught filmmaker lands overall deal with Tyler Perry Studios.

Overcoming the Odds: A self-taught filmmaker lands overall deal with Tyler Perry Studios.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Courtney Glaudé. 📝 Summary of the Interview Courtney Glaudé, an award-winning filmmaker, writer, and director from Houston, Texas, joined Rushion McDonald to discuss his creative journey, his role in Tyler Perry’s production universe, and his passion for storytelling. Glaudé is the writer, director, and producer for Season 4 of Zatima on BET+, and he holds an overall deal with Tyler Perry Studios, a rare and powerful endorsement of his talent. The conversation explored his roots, creative process, mentorship under Tyler Perry, and his commitment to emotionally gripping narratives that tackle complex social issues. 🔑 Key Takeaways 1. Tyler Perry’s Mentorship & Overall Deal Glaudé was entrusted with writing, directing, and producing Season 4 of Zatima. Tyler Perry gave him full creative control, saying: “You like Zatima? It’s yours.” The overall deal means Perry funds Glaudé’s projects and helps pitch them to major streaming platforms. 2. Creative Process & Directing Style Glaudé writes with the shot in mind, visualizing scenes as he scripts. He adapts creatively when budget or location constraints arise. His style is thriller-driven, even when tackling emotional or social themes like dementia. 3. Zatima Season 4 The show centers on Zach and Fatima’s relationship, exploring real-life romantic challenges. Glaudé brings a new emotional depth and rollercoaster storytelling to the series. He collaborates closely with the cast, who help maintain character authenticity. 4. Houston Roots & Hustle Mentality Raised in Fifth Ward, Houston, with Louisiana family roots. Self-taught filmmaker: learned through books, Google, and observing professionals. Hustle and persistence were key: “If someone told me no, I figured out how to do it myself.” 5. Breakthrough with Monique His indie thriller The Reading, starring Monique, became the #1 film on BET+. This success led to his introduction to Tyler Perry and the overall deal. 6. Legacy & Motivation Glaudé is driven by creating a legacy for his daughter. He wants to build a self-sustaining empire she can inherit. “I don’t feel like I work. I’m creating stories from my head.” 7. Social Impact Storytelling Tackles topics like mental health, trauma, and dementia through compelling narratives. Upcoming feature film Old Gray Mare explores dementia in a thriller format. 8. Tyler Perry Studios Experience Described as a “Disneyland for creators” with 12 sound stages and versatile sets. Efficient production model with on-site housing, catering, and rapid turnaround. Studios are rented by major productions like Black Panther and Coming to America. 💬 Notable Quotes “Just because God told it to me doesn’t mean He told it to everybody else.” “If you believe it, I’m not dreaming big enough.” “Tyler Perry Studios is like boot camp for creators.” “I want my films to make people feel something.” “I’m the person they tone down.” (on his intense storytelling style) #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
