"In ten years, you'll be wishing you could do it all over again!"
"It goes by in a blink of an eye!"
"Hold them close, they grow up so fast!"
In the grand scheme of life, a decade is NOTHING. When you're living in it, it feels like FOREVER. But we can all agree; I couldn't wait to get my driver's license when I was 16, and that feels like yesterday—waiting for my 21st birthday to get rid of this terrible fake ID. That literally feels like last night. I was holding my infant in my arms. Now he is six, and I can barely lift him. Life goes in a FLASH, and most of us are too busy surviving and thriving to take it all in, the beauty and lessons along the way. If you had told me ten years ago, I'd be directing movies with my idols and finally paying my bills only from my creative ventures, I would have cried with relief! Then, I would have immediately asked you how the fuck I became a director when my entire life was dedicated to acting?! LIFE HAPPENS! GOD HAPPENS! Our paths unravel, and we often have NO idea what is ahead of us, but I thank God every day that I found my vocation on the way to my passion. Truthfully, some of the hardest things in my life HAD TO HAPPEN to bring me to where I am today. That is the knowledge I want to give to our audience!!
If asked, most of us could never honestly imagine our lives and the world around us ten years down the road; we can't fathom how much can change in such little time. We'd likely undercut what we can achieve in ten years.
Our show is a lesson to the next generation; most of us will have aged, the lessons earned through the wrinkles and time that's flown by. But we can do something selfless now; we can gather this knowledge and let the world behind the curtain so that the next generations can learn from our wins and mistakes. In one episode, we can teach what it often takes YEARS to learn in life! We can also get an in-depth look at that THING, that intangible grit that exists within some of us to achieve our dreams or to fail.
Many of us come from humble beginnings; we work hard and strive for our dreams with no end in sight. Just a crazy goal, and years rapidly passed by in hardwork. It's often hard to take in all the wins over the years; you are focused on survival and the next goal. We forget to look at the big picture. I want to show them the big picture, so I am willing to do something extraordinary; I am ready to give ten years of my life to help people grow ten years of growth in one episode.
This series is an experiment that we will collect data on for over ten years. It is an experiment in vulnerability, grit, dreams coming true, time, life, and how quickly it all passes. Each person we select has to be vigorously vulnerable and prepared for an in-depth interview and to give big reveals into the life of some of the most exciting minds of our time!
We will reveal in ONE EPISODE what typically takes YEARS to learn through self-help. Our show will be the most transcendent series on television!
We will interview Guests from around the world. Celebrities at the top of their game, stars just starting to burst through the scene. The most infamous musicians, Authors of their Best Selling Novel, and authors with their first books coming into the world. Scientists at the top of their field hoping to prove their hypothesis. Surgeons, Disease Experts, Gender, Climate, and Trauma, Environmental Experts. Athletes, Politicians, and Top Experts in every subject. THE BIGGEST and THE BRIGHTEST! WE WILL COVER ONLY THE MOST IMPORTANT AND IMPACTFUL SUBJECTS.
We will ask them their deepest wishes, desires, and fears; they will predict their future and see where they place themselves in ten years. Each Episode will end with our Guest recording A MESSAGE TO THEIR FUTURE SELF. To the self, they hope to be! For the world, they hope to live in! WE WON'T SEE THEM AGAIN FOR TEN YEARS.
Then, A FLASH OF IMAGES. Footage from our Guest's social media feed, Press, News, and current events in the world! Messages they recorded along the way, awards, and failures. In a blink, we will see their ten years. That will bring us into the second half of our show, PRESENT DAY 2033.
We will come back to our guests only now, ten years wiser. They will watch the message from their younger self, like a TIME MACHINE to the past! We will then ask them many of the same questions from our first interview. We will follow up on predictions and goals and hear of all the beauty and pain. All the knowledge they have learned along the way. All the blessings that came true and all the blessings in disguise that did not. We will take part in what feels like a decade of someone's life; we will witness all that growth in one Episode.
We will end the episode with our Guest recording a message to his younger self, sharing something they wish they had heard. Give themselves the support, love, and respect we wish they had felt then.
Our host will then conclude our episode, that last bit of knowledge we hope they take with them on that Guest and their important missions in life. Leaving the audience uplifted, ambitious, and wiser than when we found them.
We can do more than entertain, we can CHANGE THE WORLD!
Jay Shetty is the Tony Robins of my generation; he is and will be one of the most prominent motivational speakers and healers in the self-help world. He has lifetimes of wisdom, is kind and vulnerable, and is BEYOND INSPIRING! I am not the only person who feels that way because he has one of the most popular and influential podcasts in existence. His audience is HUGE and ONLY GROWING. That is because no matter who you are, you will leave his social media, interview, or podcast feeling UPLIFTED and HOPEFUL. You, too, can achieve these things! If I was lucky enough to have this idea ten years ago, and we captured Jay's interview ten years ago, OUR MINDS WOULD EXPLODE!
Jay went from speaking in small conference rooms to selling out arenas. Imagine the transformation we would have witnessed in those ten years. Imagine the growth we would have witnessed, the knowledge we could have obtained! This is the essence of our show! And Jay is the only one who can host this show. He has a way with words; with interviewing and speaking with people, they open up in the most beautiful way when they talk to him. In order for us to learn the most significant amount for the highest good of humanity, we need people to be open. Jay has a gift for helping those around him to blossom and open, and that is what we need if we want this show to become what it can be.
Jay will be our first guest and our Host for the duration of this series. We will show his journey over the last ten years to becoming who he is today, how he went from speaking in conference rooms to speaking at sold our arenas ten years later. Jay will then explain the mission and thesis for our show and what we are trying to achieve, and he will start this series by going first! His journey over the last ten years leads us to why we are creating this show together perfectly.
We will then interview Jay with the help of his beautiful wife, Radhi Devlukia-Shetty. We will go deep with Jay, where he sees himself in ten years and where he sees the world. We will talk about Jay's passion, dreams, and aspirations. He will end by recording the message to himself ten years later. We will see the FLOOD of images of his life flash by in a blink of an eye. We will show him the message from his younger self; we will see his connection with its message. Jay and Radhi will speak to us about the progression and the journey: the challenges and the growth. We will see where he is now and what came true. Where does Jay hope to go in the future? He will record his message to young Jay, thank him for all he did to bring him here. Jay will walk the audience through the ride they are about to take and our mission for this series. Thus begins "The Archives!"
Opening with someone like Jay sets the tone for the extreme vulnerability they will experience and will open our audience to the journey we will be on with each Guest. It will also get these fantastic creators, experts, and humans to be as open and vulnerable as Jay. As he lets us behind the curtain, so will many collaborators we will partner with through "The Archives."
Jay Shetty will be an EP, Writer, and our Talent. I would love Jay to help us select the guests on the series and pull from some of the best Guests he's ever had on his podcast. With his perspective, we can ensure this is the most transcendent show in the world and on Television. Along with a great PR team that can help us to project the next stars on the rise, the fading stars, and the greatest minds of our time! Choosing essential topics from a wide range of expertise to achieve the highest impact on the world.
- Clint Eastwood (Retiring on the eve of his last film, this interview can be captivating. Speaking of the previous ten years of his progression, where he sees the industry and himself in ten years if he is still alive upon our completion. But this would be an intriguing interview.)
- David FIncher (He is one of the top Directors and one of my idols; his progression would be exciting because he constantly pushes the envelope. But he is also an expert in filmmaking and the technology behind film; he is one of the biggest supporters and one of the first directors who supported and started the digital and streaming world; he also is one of the most prominent experts in digital cameras and technology around cameras and sound. As well as a massive advocate for cinemas and the movie-going experience. He would have a fascinating perspective on things. I also think he would dig our experiment/ Time Capsule Idea.)
- Quentin Tarantino (Film Expert, knows everything about filmmaking Past and Present. On the eve of making his last film ever, he claims. Someone I know will still be around and relevant in 10 years; he would also be such a rad and entertaining progression and interview. This could be really exciting and captivating.)
- Riz Ahmed (He is Two-time Oscar-winning, had you tracked his last ten years, your mind would be blown, I have no doubt the next ten will be transformative!)
- Timothée Chalamet (He is the Leonardo DiCaprio of our time. He will undoubtedly be the most prominent male actor in our industry in ten years.)
- Leonardo DiCaprio (Biggest actor in the world. It would be an incredible interview tracking the last ten years for him before our first interview. Then ten years from our discussion, I would be enthralled to see what he does in that time. He is HUGE in climate change; he only JUST won his first Oscar, a top Producer. He would make for an INCREDIBLE interview. He would also have great suggestions for Climate experts.)
- George Clooney (No explanation needed! Legend! Every interview I ever hear with him, I laugh, smile, and feel inspired! We must hear from him! Talented Actor, Director, Friend, and Tequila maker! Pranks make me die laughing; powerful and inspiring wife!)
- Brad Pitt (Legend! He is best friends with George; their stories of pranks make me die laughing; he has been famous most of his life, and he would have such an exciting perspective! Extremely wise, he created one of the largest production companies in the world and one of the most famous men in the world! No explanation needed!)
- Bradley Cooper (One of the most prominent actors in the world, becoming one of the top directors in the world, SOBER, and known for helping many of the most recognized celebrities get sober. He is beyond inspiring, and so is his story. No one believed he would make it. he claims, and he thought of giving up before the hangover. Such an inspiring story, and we will all be so inspired by this interview and his next ten years!)
- Jessica Chastain (I have been a fan since she first started her career; watching her growth has blown my mind. Two or three Oscar nominations later, a Tony nomination, I have no doubt we will see one hell of an inspiring progression over the next ten years.)
- Zoe Kravitz (I believe Zoe is and will be one of the most prominent actors in our industry! She was born into fame; she has hustled to get where she is today and is a creative force and fashion icon. In the next ten years, we will watch her explode, the same as we have seen her over the last decade. She is someone to watch!)
- Lily Collins (Actress, creator, and friend of many on this show. She would be an excellent name to interview and track her progression over her blowing up even further in the next ten years.)
- Garrett Hedlund (One of my dearest friends, someone I love deeply, is one of my favorite actors, and I believe this is ONLY THE BEGINNING! An Album soon to release, multiple performance pieces coming to the world, and an amazing Father! He would be an incredible Guest; he is also one of my favorite people to have deep conversations with. His perspective on the arts, life, and addiction is fascinating. People would love this ten-year progression.)
- Judd Apatow (Chances are, if you’ve seen a comedy or film that made you laugh over the last 30 years, Judd Apatow either wrote, Directed, or Produced that film. He is a legendary director; he would be an incredible look into comedy and its origins, the formula for a successful comedy. As well as a severe knack for spotting talent. Most of the talented artists he has collaborated with have had HUGE careers. Father, interesting human, funny! We would be lucky to speak with him now after seeing what he has done in the comedy world over the last decade; we will undoubtedly be amazed over the next decade!)
- Seth Rogan (One of the most famous comedic actors in the world, turned top producer, making some of my favorite projects of our time. He is the comedian of my youth, and he and Judd have done incredible things together. Weed connoisseurs would be an interesting perspective on marijuana ten years from now. He owns his boutique weed store and smoking ceramics. I love his feed; he is a super inspiring guy, funny and charming!)
- Meryl Streep (She is a fucking Legend!! Really don't need an explanation. It would be like interviewing Stella Adler or Stanislowski before becoming who they are today in the acting world. Her perspective on art, acting, the world, and politics. Goals for someone who has achieved it all. We could learn so damn much! She is one of the most inspiring artists I have witnessed.)
- Greta Gerwig (One of our generation's most affluent female Directors, nominated for multiple Oscars, every film she has made, "Barbie," will likely be no different! She is someone to track and watch over the next decade and a beautiful person we should include! She is an immense talent, a new Mother, a feminist, and a pioneer for women and female directors everywhere.)
- Wendy Finerman (Dorothy Canton’s Mother, which is one of the reasons I love her most! A Producing Legend known for the great lengths she will invest into a project to see it come to fruition! Creating some of the biggest films in the world- “Devil Wears Prada, Forest Gump, Step Mom, P.S. I Love You.” Oscar-winning producer and someone I would LOVE to hear and learn from!)
- Martin Scorsese (Legend! He has worked with the best of the best and is among the best of the best. I want to know what he truly thinks the secret to success is in our industry, his advice, and his aspirations for himself, the world, and his fellow creators. He is also nearing the end of his life, so these interviews could be among some of the most impactful lessons we learn! )
- Steven Spielberg (Legend! He is someone I and almost every creator in the world would like to hear from! I would love to listen to his stories and perspective on the film industry, how many changes he's seen it go through, what lessons he has for the next generation of filmmakers, and the truth behind some of his biggest successes and failures.)
- Robbie Brenner (Nadine Crocker’s mentor, dear friend, and producer of her latest films. She has worked on immense, Oscar-nominated films. Producer of one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year, “Barbie!” She has brought you films like “Dallas Buyer’s Club, The Fighter, and Out Of The Furnace.” She is known for sticking with projects for over 20 years before some see creation. She is a producer on the rise, if even possible at her height, but also an INCREDIBLE Mother, Wife, and Friend! She inspires me daily; we would be lucky to have her!)
- Movie Theatre Companies// AMC or Arclight (A dying art form, I would love to see what these companies, or the individuals we decide to interview who are heavily involved in theaters and film stock, have to say about their future. About the movie industry and box offices. This would be an exciting interview to see how theaters are dying out, and I hope when we come back for this progress, it will be a booming industry again!)
- Pete Davidson (His career trajectory over the last ten years would already have all of us impressed. He is an artist. I have no fucking doubt we will be rejoicing for interviewing at his height; now, coming off SNL, I think this is just the beginning for Pete. He would be incredible for this show and is a mental health advocate, so he would have many important topics to discuss.)
- Ali Wong (Beyond festinating and inspiring, it would be a killer progression because I genuinely believe this is just the beginning for her!)
- Dane Cooke (Blew up overnight in the comedy scene, he’s starred in movies, and he’s also been through a lot. I think he’d have an interesting take on comedy over the last decade and an interesting take on comedy into the next decade)
- Dorothy Canton (Film and Television Producer, one of our creators, but also a producer in the film world that would give you one hell of a progression. She is already producing like ten shows on television, entire trilogies shot in one sitting, and the head of production at her company! D, you would be the best fucking interview!)
- Nadine Crocker (Up and Coming filmmaker, one of the creators of this show. I would love to hear how they came up with the idea and why she wanted to be one of the first guests. I am also great for the topic of Depression, Suicide prevention, and Mental Health. My story and success can inspire many other artists worldwide and show our audience that even a poor kid from Fresno can achieve their dreams, and so can they!)
- Beyoncé (Does she need an explanation? She is Queen, and her life is awe-inspiring; this could be a progression that would blow our minds. I remember watching an MTV special on her and hearing about her overnight success and Destiny's child, and I STILL remember it. We need this fantastic interview.)
- JLO (Unbelievable creator, entrepreneur, and brand, really. She is inspiring beyond belief, and she is the kind of woman and mother we need to show our youth an excellent progression, no doubt.)
- Lady Gaga (Legend, is an unbelievable creator whose career exploded on the scene—an award-winning musician who is now leading in some of the biggest films in Hollywood. If we interview her now, in the next ten years, we will get our minds blown and watch her win another Oscar, if not multiple. I have no doubt she will be an EGOT.)
- Billy Elish (She blew up overnight with an album made in her brother's room where they both lived with their parents. She is one of the top artists in her field, and her area of expertise keeps expanding. Now also an Oscar winner. She is beyond inspiring, this is just the beginning, and I would LOVEEEEE to see this 10-year progression. Motivate every damn young girl out there to get up, dream big, and create!)
- 50 Cent (Entrepreneur, Actor, and Music Icon. Amazing story, progression, and someone we can learn a lot from and inspire future generations and artists!)
- Eminem (Legend, unbelievable artist, incredible story. Rap God.)
- Bob Dylan (LEGEND, Music icon, Politzer prize winner. His talks on creativity are inspiring, as he speaks of his youth working with the muse. Hearing his predictions and views on so many topics would be really interesting. Talking to him again ten years from now, he will be an older man. This could be heartwarming, nostalgic, and an inspiring progression to follow.)
- Kendrick Lamar (Politzer winner, one of the most prolific rappers of our time. I think he would be so interesting to progress and to hear his journey and perspective! Like interviewing Tupac before his death.)
- Tim McGraw(A legend in country music, a talented actor, and an overall fascinating human being! Successful husband and Father, sober. He would be a fantastic Guest!)
- Doja Cat (So fascinating and blowing up; I would love to see her perspective, where she places herself in ten years, and where she has grown to. This could be like seeing Lady Gaga in the beginning and watching her grow into who she is now.)
- Kanye West (Capturing his descent and possible rebirth would be interesting. Someone we all loved and followed revealed themselves to us. This can be a fascinating progression for us to learn from, and I am worried it might not have a positive outcome, which means there are many lessons in it. It's a lesson in mental health, self-sabotage, or getting healthy and clean.)
If we shoot this before the 2024 elections, this could be incredible, we will see those who lost and where they have gone since, but we also very well could be interviewing the next president. Imagine if, ten years ago, we interviewed Barack Obama, who could not even be elected as Senator. We have been reading his book; no one expected him to be and become what he did. This interview would blow minds and change lives, inspiring the next generation to strive for greatness! This is what excites me most about this show.
- President Obama (No explanation needed. I mean, come on! But I’ll still give one. The 44th president of the United States, the first African American President, was raised by a single mother. He lived in Indonesia until he was eleven and Moved to Hawaii. In 2000, he didn’t even have enough money to buy a plane ticket to the Democratic convention. Eight years later, he would be elected as the 44th president in a landslide. From eloquent speeches to candid outrage at the podium. Barak Obama is a towering figure of the last century and would be a wonderful steward of our past to the future.)
- President Zelensky (Leader of Ukraine has been the most inspiring and enthralling person around the war in Ukraine, he would blow our minds and inspire us!)
- Prince Harry (He is an interesting guy, one of the first to leave the Monarchy. It would be an incredible progression; I would love to see his growth over ten years and where his life goes. He can give us a behind-the-curtain perspective; I would be interested to see his predictions for the future regarding the Monarchy itself, the world, and his country.)
- Hillary Clinton (With the state of women’s rights, the world, and nearly being the first female president, I believe she is someone we need to hear from. She can inspire the women of the next generation, and I believe her perspective would be interesting. I would love to see where she is in ten years. I’d also like to hear from her about the person, the pressures, and the disappointment. Then see the thriving future she goes on to have.)
- Donald Trump (Past President, will run again, and highly controversial. We will be amazed at what this guy does in a ten-year progression. Possibly even the first former president put behind bars, or a redemption story for the ages!)
- Wes Moore (Rhodes Scholar, Army Officer, Television Producer. The Governor of Maryland. Wes Moore is an accomplished author and former CEO of the robin hood charity.)
- Governor Newsom (The governor of the 5th largest economy in the world, the leader of a super majority democratic legislator. Governor Newsom is a mixture of Pat Riley in the 80s and your friend's dad. California is in crisis; homelessness and a wave of crime have plagued California for the last decade. It would be a fascinating interview to hear the governor discuss how he plans to address these issues and what California will look like in 10 years.)
- Beto Orourke (Failed Campaign for Senator, Failed Campaign for Governor, Failed Campaign for President. This differs from the pedigree or resumes you'd be looking for in the future President; however, when Beto speaks, something happens; he's electric, drawing comparisons to Robert Kennedy. Beto's political future is currently uncertain; he's taking time off. However, his staunch activism and outspoken brutal honesty make his voice one that will profoundly impact the future.)
So many of these talented athletes were innovators and are at the top of their field. Many of them will be retired when we speak to them again in 10 years. An athlete has a finite amount of time for their craft. This would make for such an interesting perspective of time, handwork, dedication, and the genuine aspect of time and age. We can learn a lot from these interviews. The grit that separates many of the greats.
- Lebron James ("The chosen one"- Very Rare are those that have the weight of expectation that Lebron James has lived with since he was a teenager. There are two eras in basketball, the era before Mj and After MJ: The Second Coming, The Messiah of basketball. Lebron James has not only defied the odds of making it to professional basketball from the projects of Akron, Ohio, raised by a single mother but has also transformed the game. For 20 years, he has stood atop the best players on the planet. For 20 years, he has been routinely the most successful player on earth. His name and likeness are everywhere. From endorsements to business empires. Lebron James needs no introduction.)
- Aaron Judge ( 6' 7 in, and 282 lb. He checks in as one of the most massive players in baseball history. In more ways than one, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is a superhero. He is the best player on one of the nation's best teams: naturally, thousands of kids worldwide look up to him and want to be like him. He started as a rookie seven years ago; he's been on the Yankees since he started his major league career. After the ultimate bet on himself season, he was paid the largest contract in major league history. He has already been team captain and will no doubt be selected into the Hall of Fame! He is modest, self-effacing, then puts on his uniform," Scott Simon tweeted. By the time we return to Aaron after ten years, he will go from being one of the top players in the league to likely retired. What an exciting progression that would be!!)
- Kyrie Irving ("Basketball God, Savant, Anti Vaxxer, Anti Semitist." Those are just a few of the labels that have been stamped on Kyrie Irving. I grew up five minutes from Kyrie, Same groups of friends. Kyrie Irving is nothing like you have been told or heard. He is fodder for morning shows, where the talking heads routinely assassinate his character. Kyrie Irving is a complex and empathetic guy. He's a deep thinker most of the time; occasionally, his passion bleeds into blasphemy. His empathy and generosity know no bounds. From paying for the funeral and buying a house for George Floyds Family. To support women's sports and help elevate them to a level of visibility never before seen. Building wells and sustainable homes in the remote Hindu Kush of India, To provide school supplies to African children in war-torn Liberia. Kyrie Irving is both a Rubik's cube and an open book. He wears his heart on his sleeve. The fact he's one of the greatest basketball players to ever step on the court is beside the point. He would be a fantastic and insightful interviewee.)
- Magic Johnson (On November 7, 1991, Earvin "Magic" Johnson announced he was HIV-positive, ending his illustrious NBA career. Magic has become more prevalent in his life after basketball. His career on the court is legendary, as his bravery in beating HIV and breaking the stigmas attached to the disease. So popular and well-known, we know him as MAGIC. A business mogul. The owner of three major sports franchises. An inspiration.)
- David Beckham (Brought soccer to the united states; he has always been ahead of the curve, one of the most famous athletes in the world. Successful marriage, great Father! He could be an interesting perspective and would have a great view of where he sees sports, soccer, and the world ten years from now! Also, just a great and interesting guy.)
- Michael Jordan (No explanation needed, this would be the most incredible interview if we can get him to sit down with us!)
Very important for cures and diseases. Advancements in science, wellness, and health. As well as topics like climate change and the damage we are doing to our planet, being tracked over ten years. As well as experts on drought, famine, and the mayhem ahead for certain parts of the world. I have read books on these topics and the surrounding geography. Places like Cape Town will be entirely out of water—massive refuge migrations in countries running out of water and food. There are insane projections. The wars they believe will begin over water supply and food. With things like plastic surgery on the rise, I wonder what the future will look like and what anti-aging industries will discover. Like a diabetes drug being all the rage in Hollywood, accidentally making everyone lose weight!
- Al Gore (Politician, Climate Change Expert. I would love to promote their doc "The Inconvenient Truth," it would give us a first-hand look and unbelievable footage to showcase what he has been predicting for decades; it will show us the last ten years and then the jump from the ten years since our first episode!)
- Johnny Kim (Former Navy Seal turned Doctor, turned astronaut. He is scheduled to go to the MOON! He will have been among the first astronauts to walk on the moon since 1972's. Imagine interviewing him now vs. ten years from now.)
- Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier (Creator of Crispr, the most extraordinary and cutting edge science, is also highly controversial. Designer babies, eradication of Down syndrome, and many other diseases and disabilities could also give those living with MS and genetic illnesses that are deteriorating their bodies and whole new life and cure them forever.)
- Virus experts// Medical expert in Disease (The minds that predicted Covid before it happened. I listened to the most interesting interview with Joe Rogan, and this Doctor's book predicted Covid YEARS before, down to how the virus would be conceived at the wet Markets. I want to know the future pandemics and risks ahead of us.)
- Jeremy Corbell (Leading expert & journalist surrounding the UFO phenomenon and a Documentary Filmmaker. He releases ALL the best UFO stories and footage before they are seen elsewhere. It works directly with the government and is a HUGE part of the declassification happening within the government and the press surrounding life on other planets and AIPs.)
- Bob Lazar (Leading scientist and whistle-blower around the alien coverup and government conspiracy. He has spoken of technology our government has and is secretly using today and can give a fantastic insight into what we will see come out over the next ten years.)
- Gabor Maté (Trauma Expert// Parenting Expert// Self Help// LEGEND I want to work with this man SO BAD; he has a great mind on addiction, trauma, and parenting. We have to have him as a guest!)
- Tony Robbins (Does he need an explanation?! He would give us the best perspective around SO many of our topics. He is a legend, and his episode could educate the world in so many ways!)
- Dr. Nicole LePera (The Holistic Psychologist, has blown my mind! Her book, social media videos, and interviews are informative and make me feel so seen. She would be an incredible interview and guest to follow!)
- Don Miguel Ruiz (He is a Mexican author of books popularizing Toltec wisdom. Like so many on this list, he is heavily influenced by the writings of Carlos Castaneda. The Four Agreements has always been and will always be a set of four ancient Toltec teachings which transcend all religious and philosophical doctrines.)
- Thich Nhat Hanh (This Vietnamese, Buddhist, Zen Master) spent unrelenting time reconciling North and South Vietnam during the Vietnamese War. At 89 years old, he is still touring the world, writing books, and leading retreats on mindful living. (Will most likely not be alive in ten years, but someone that would be incredible to hear from and include, regardless if we can have a follow-up. He has created a tremendous impact.)
- Marianne Williamson (Author of A Return To Love) has many more exciting, motivational, and political perspectives. She could be an interesting progression. She also tried to rally for a Presidential Nomination during the last election; two years from now, she might be involved in some fantastic and exciting work.)
- Jay Shetty and Radhi Devlukia-Shetty (Jay and his Wife will host this episode and bring in whoever they believe is the leading mind in Love, relationship advice, and a compelling 10-year progression to watch in this field.)
- Shaun King (Journalist, activist, a fighter for equality and black rights, and influencer. He would be a great guest to hear from and track! Is a significant contributor to The Black Lives Matter Movement and is highly educational. He is where many go for their news; he has a fresh perspective and a strong voice. Passion oozes from him, and for the last several years, he has been proving that his predictions would come true for decades.)
- Elliot Paige (One of the first actors to transition in the public eye shared his experience and story with the world; he just wrote a book. He is a big advocate and fights for trans rights. I have always loved his story and how he fights for LBGTQ rights. I would LOVE his perspective.)
- Hunter Schafer (Hugely talented Trans Actress, but she is also a massive advocate for trans rights and is highly impactful. She fought for non gender specific public bathrooms and brought this topic to legislation. She is a force and is going to have a huge career, I would love to hear from her!)
- Elon Musk (No explanation is needed, is a highly successful entrepreneur and the owner of the leading electric car. He invented self-landing rockets, is trying to take us to Mars, and has a big part in returning to the Moon. He has one of the most interesting perspectives on AI, technology, the future of electricity, and simulation theory. Also, living with Autism, I think he would be inspiring for all of us; I have a son with Autism, and as a Mother, I would love to show what our children can go on to do. He is a savant. I would LOVE to hear his perspective and where he places himself and the world in ten years. Then actually see what came true and what did not. This would be a rad progression.)
- Palmer Luckey (Creator of Occulus. A self-taught tech wunderkind. Palmer Lucky is the real Tony Stark; he created OCULUS VR. He sold it to Facebook for 2 billion dollars at 19 years old. Three years later, he gets fired and starts ANDRUIL. A futuristic Weapons Manufacture. Palmer Luckey and his company will shape future battlefields both home and abroad.)
- Sam Altman (Creator of Chat GPT. At his core, Sam Altman is a humanist. Sam foresaw that the exponential curve of technological progress would culminate in the most powerful tool ever created: Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). He saw a device that could do immense good but, in the wrong hands, could be a destructive weapon. Sam co-founded OpenAI to bring AGI to the world responsibly. Initially, he established OpenAI as a nonprofit. When he couldn't raise enough money as a nonprofit, he structured the company as a capped-profit model, forgoing ownership. OpenAI went on to develop ChatGPT, a revolutionary tool.)
- Jack Dorsey (Founder of Twitter and CEO OF BLOCK. This is the man behind it. In March 2006, Jack sent the first tweet, "Just setting up my Twitter" The world would never be the same. Twitter would scorch through society, instantly transforming life as we know it. Tweets would be entire news headlines; presidents would use them (for better or worse) to speak directly with—the people. The Arab Spring would blossom with the help of Twitter, on Par with the lightbulb, internet, and electric cars. Twitter changed the world.)
- Geoffrey Hinton (The GODFATHER OF AI. For over three decades, Geoffrey Hinton has been at the forefront of AI, one of the pioneers in the field. He was heavily recruited by every major tech company until, as he puts it, google made him an offer he couldn't refuse. While at Google, he worked on their Language Model PALM. A rival of CHAT GPT. It was there he came to the horrifying conclusion that AI will one day be too advanced and self-aware without guardrails for Humans to stop. The fact that AI models can perform complex logical reasoning and interact with humans, and are progressing more quickly than expected, leads some to worry that we are getting closer to seeing algorithms capable of outsmarting humans seeking more control. In the 1980s, Hinton, a professor at the University of Toronto, and a handful of other researchers sought to give computers greater intelligence by training artificial neural networks with data instead of conventionally programming them.)
- Tom Anderson from Myspace (creator of Social Media, his invention changed the world forever. He then disappeared into obscurity, but he could be an interesting perspective.)
- Joe Rogan (One of the biggest podcasts in the world, is involved in so many different ventures. His life has taken many twists and turns, and his last ten years are an exciting progression. Imagine the next ten. He is also SO knowledgeable in so many different topics. He would be an interesting guest!)
- Gary Vaynerchuk (Gary V was ahead of his time; 23 years ago, Gary started recording his wine reviews. These early rudimentary, poorly lit videos would be the spark that ignited the influencer inferno of today. Very few of us who had seen those videos could have known at the time that the man in those videos would go on to launch one of the most successful brands in the world today. That Brand is Gary V. His passion and enthusiasm for the "HUSTLE," as he calls it. His nonstop preaching of gratitude and doing what you love. With a cultish following, Gary often predicts the future of trends. He keeps the receipts. Ten years ago, the world had just discovered the brilliance of Gary.)
- Professor Scott Galloway (Mr. Galloway aspires to be "the most influential thought leader in the history of business," he said. In addition to the leading podcast, his company, Prof G Media, produces a weekly newsletter, four podcast episodes a week, YouTube videos, a column for New York magazine, and a book every 18 months or so. (The latest is, Adrift: America in 100 Charts, which will be published in September. He is an economic prophet. But Mr. Galloway is also willing — compulsion, even — to get personal. He weaves in anecdotes about family, failure, and grief. One of his most popular newsletters reflected on the death of his dog. Ms. Swisher described him as an "open wound." Mr. Galloway said his vulnerability amounts to a competitive advantage: "You fight the enemy with the weapons they can't use.”)
- Lex Friedman (MIT, GOOGLE, if you said nothing else, those credits should be enough to convince you LEX Friedman is a genius. But those companies and prestigious educational institutes are merely scratching the surface of Lex's complexities, from being a jiu jit su Practitioner, AI enthusiast, and brilliant computer engineer. Lex might be the most intelligent man hosting a podcast in the world; no, that's not hyperbole. It's a fact that Lex is somewhere between a 160 and 170 Genius level IQ, yet his honesty and sincerity towards allowing people to have a conversation in hopes of bringing us closer together even if we disagree vehemently on issues. This is a case in point: having Kanye West on his show days after he was essentially canceled for the vile anti-semitic remarks regarding Jewish people. Lex is Jewish and wanted to use the opportunity to try and show YE his support for free speech while using it as a moment to teach YE how wrong and harmful the things he was saying were.)
- Ray Dalio (Ray Dalio is the founder of the world's largest hedge fund and author of the new book Principles: Life and Work. Ray understands the world, its history, and its relation to socioeconomic events better than almost anyone on Earth. We need to hear from him!)
- Andrew Huberman (American neuroscientist and tenured associate professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. He is the face and voice of the wildly successful Huberman Lab Podcast. Our generation's Mr. Feyman, Bringing complex brain science to the masses, one show at a time.)
- Peter Zeilhan (The Department of Defense relies on him when making foreign policy decisions for ten years down the road. Fortune 500 companies seek his advice when developing products and business strategies 25 years later. Part cynic, part genius. His blunt assessment of the future and current state of affairs is sometimes eerie. His devotion to Geography and history has made him one of the most in-demand experts when it comes to geopolitics. Very few have the power to see clearly into the future; Peter Zihlan does.)
- Dr. Sahin, Dr. & Özlem Türeci (The husband and wife duo who in 2018 would stand on the stage in Berlin and describe the revolutionary technology they had been developing with MRNA vaccines used to treat cancer. They would speak of their belief that this same technology could be used to create a rapid response to a deadly virus quickly spreading. Less than two years later, those words would prove to be prophetic. In January 2020, upon reading an article in the Lancet about an infectious disease spreading rapidly in China, The couple began experimenting with their mRNA technology to create a possible vaccine if needed. By March, the world was shut down, and COVID-19 was here. The race for a vaccine was now on, and this small lab in Germany, BIONTECH, became the center of the world. Several months later, the PFIZER vaccine they created would be launched, and the Covid Pandemic would eventually end. The hopes of a world desperate to slow the virus from its stunning effects were now on their shoulders.)
Our mission is for "The Archives" to provide an intimate look at some of our society's most interesting and influential people. Unlike other interviews, which air almost immediately after filming, often paired with a promotion of an upcoming project. The Archives will center around conversations that are deeply personal and reflective. Each Guest is a messenger to the future. The goal of each conversation is to discover things we didn't know about our Guests, to reflect on their lives and events leading up to this moment, and envision a future in which we will one day be living.
To create a unique project that creates a conversation in society about how much can happen in ten years. We live in a hyper-fast-paced world where the war for attention and momentary relevance is constantly fought. Our project will serve as a reminder to show the beauty of the fleeting time. Things that seem so important today fade into the background. Things that are important today no longer matter in ten years. Issues that seem to be tearing apart our society change; the world goes on, as does life. Our project highlights the beauty of time and calls our audience to cherish every moment of it! GROW, LOVE, AND EXPAND! Please, PLEASE, take care of our planet and each other. We only get this one life!
Nadine Crocker and Anthony Caravella-Crocker both share a passion for IMPACT and creating change. Not only through the projects messaging they create but also through the funds they raise for charity with their projects. Every film Crocker has written, she has put aside some of her points for different charities and causes. They hope to change the world through their art!
D i r e c t i o n
We will be Co-directing, by choosing which subjects are suitable for each director we will determine who will tackle each topic. Nadine Crocker and Anthony Caravella-Crocker will direct every episode, trading off between directing. All with the same consistent vision, we continue to design together.
T h e P r o d u c t i o n D e s i g n
The Production Design will be a TIME CAPSULE in itself. The backgrounds that form the walls behind the chairs our guests are being interviewed in front of will be like POP ART installations. They will be a collage of everything relevant, meaningful, and hilarious from our time. Let's get dope artists to create these different backdrops. For example, Banksy, Damien Hurst, etc. We can include the "art world" through the visual art being seen through the interviews and by interviewing amazing painters and Artists. Imagine the press and excitement from EVERY prospective field. The footage and backgrounds themselves will be part of the time capsule. Visually it will be intriguing for the viewers. Not only are the interviews enthralling and a Time Capsule, but so is everything visually that we chose to include in each frame.
S t y l e & F o o t a g e
We will use the Social media accounts and all the posts from the last ten years from when we interview our Guests. We will use the press, red carpets, footage from their films and or perspective arts. Self-recorded videos they thought would be essential to have over the ten-year progression. Little moments they want to speak about, struggles and wins along the way! We will see the last ten years in a flash of an eye, a dope montage of their LIFE before we jump into the footage from our later interviews (ten years later). We will keep this show incredibly cinematic and exciting.
Like many of our films, the stylistic vision will come through, and we will be sure to design it this way. As we continue to develop from season to season, we can push the envelope even further to further expand on our concept and show over the years from conception how we have grown as artists. We will learn and execute each season at an even higher and more in-depth level. This show will go far beyond just hearing people talk and be interviewed, like a typical “talk show.” It will be like a mini-documentary episode for each Guest. The show will be an experience far more significant than anything we have seen on television now. Everything that we capture and show will be relevant and further prove our hypothesis and the overall vision and mission of the show.
EACH SEASON WE INTERVIEW 15 GUESTS. 15 EPISODES IN A SEASON.
3 SEASONS will be staggered over THREE YEARS. To be manageable on our schedules, we will film the Interviews consecutively to shoot them out efficiently. With time between each season, we can reimagine and elevate for the season ahead and take our knowledge from the year before to help elevate the series each season we produce. Our hope in spreading out production is to cover new and rising topics. We are keeping impact our highest priority.
TEN YEARS from the first episode shot, we will pick up production and shoot our 15 guests of seasons One, Two, and Three. Only now, ten years wiser.
We will select 20 to 25 interviews per season. In case there are stories we no longer wish to follow up on or support, if Guests no longer want to participate after ten years, or if they have passed away. We will need insurance to know we have the best show we possibly can ten years from now. We will have extra interviews to choose from that could be used in the following fourth season if we decide to include everyone interviewed.
We start each Episode with each Guest's past interview and end their interview with a message to their future self. Our Guest will watch the message. Share their emotions on it—a TIME MACHINE to the past. To see themselves, now ten years their elder. We will interview our Guests again, asking them many of the same questions and following up on their passions and predictions. We see the overall lessons we've learned along the way. We see the growth made in these ten years! The Episode will end with our guests saying a message to their past selves. What they wish they would have known then! They give love to themselves and finally say things they wish they had heard or told, what they needed to hear then! Like you are WORTHY! Or that job didn't fucking matter. For some of us, it may be too late, but with the help of these episodes, we can teach the next generation valuable lessons! Jay Shetty will then conclude the Episode with our positive motivation to our audience, the valuable wisdom we learned and witnessed on that journey, and how we can impact the future decade ahead.
C O N C L U S I O N
We see if our Guest's hopes and desires come true. If their science was proven, their predictions were correct. Are we too late for climate rescue? Are we going backward? We will get a glimpse into exactly what went RIGHT and what went WRONG so that we can learn from our lessons this time around! WE PROVE OUR HYPOTHESIS, or we fall on our faces. We see that some things that don't come true are the biggest blessing. Jay and our Guests will show ten years of growth in ONE EPISODE. This show could help people across the world!!
Jay and our team of experts and writers will develop the vast topics we will cover. We will handcraft the narrative to help the world grow in the most significant and impactful way possible. We will direct and craft the creative vision to make the series feel cinematic and DEEPLY emotional! We can do more than entertain; we will change the world through art.
I want time-lapse footage from the last ten years. I want Jay Shetty standing in every country, with the busy hustle and bustle passing him by. I want to show the state of the world and the relevant events from the last decade. Like a 50's subliminal message of rapid cuts and flash images. The chaos and whirlwind of life over a decade! With Jay's poignant voiceover from our series, all cut together for the most remarkable message.
I want spliced images separating our beautiful footage shot with footage from the past. Maybe an old atomic bomb, next to new nuclear testing. Climate crisis of the past, next to new imaging. The style and pop culture we all love and remember. I want the entire series to be nostalgic. I want people to smile and laugh, remembering all this beauty from their youth while taking meaningful lessons from our series. We can do more than entertain; we can make a project that sticks with them long after they watch. I want our series to STICK with our audience for days, maybe weeks.
Now, imagine Jay's voiceover from our most powerful and poignant episodes, cut together with our footage from across the world over the last ten years. The progression of decay or growth we can witness. We cover the different perspectives, cultures, and beliefs worldwide. This series is not for any one demographic, culture, or faith. This series is for HUMANITY. All of us who live on earth with hopes and desires. It is for all of us to learn and live a better, happier, more driven life. We all know the best way to learn is through example, and we can give data collected over ten years; we can see people's beliefs and then watch how they manifest in their life! A conscious life!
I envision Jay standing stoically still in time-lapse footage as the world passes by these abstract and beautiful global locations. We are showing life for all of us on this planet—an existence outside our own for a moment. We have created this show together to show the state of the world over the lapsing ten years. I even want the credits to our series to make an IMPACT.
