What does it really take to build a creative career on your own terms?

In this episode of No Bullshit Talks, Sabrina sits down with Ajani Griffith - Miami-based film producer, music supervisor, director, and content creator who has worked with Warner Music, Sony, Universal, Heineken, and Red Stripe.

His work has contended for three Oscars, and he's been vlogging for over a decade. But none of it came in a straight line.

Ajani breaks down the real journey: from chasing a dream of running an independent music publishing company, to stumbling into film through a friend's project, to building his own monthly event series from scratch — and keeping it going even when the crowd doesn't show up.

💡 In this episode:

→ How a single conversation with a director friend launched his career in music supervision

→ Why he chose Miami over LA — and what that decision taught him about building a brand anywhere

→ The Music Club: his monthly event series combining live performances, a podcast, and community — and his plan to take it on tour

→ How to stay consistent when events don't fill up (and why the biggest promoters in the world have flopped too)

→ The truth about vlogging: what Gary Vee taught him, what 10 years of trial and error looks like, and why your audience decides what works — not you

→ The predatory side of production: late payments, net-30 traps, and how to protect yourself with contracts and deposits

→ Why LinkedIn still matters in 2026 — and how the algorithm has shifted
