We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Zashery a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Zashery, thank you for being such a positive, uplifting person. We’ve noticed that so many of the successful folks we’ve had the good fortune of connecting with have high levels of optimism and so we’d love to hear about your optimism and where you think it comes from.
My optimism is rooted in the wisdom I’ve gained. I’ve learned through my experiences that the universe responds to the vibes I send out. I live by the quote, “The universe knows all things and is responding to the vibration that I am sending.”So, I’ve tuned into the frequency of positive vibrations, aligning my thoughts and emotions with what I desire. I stay on track by tuning into frequencies, journaling, and focusing on my vision board. Consistency is key—I tick off goals and stay positive, realizing it’s the secret to making things happen.
According to Abraham Hicks, I am the creator of my own reality, and by staying positive, I’m deliberately attracting a more fulfilling and abundant life. Sure, life can throw curveballs, and there are days when I am not feeling as optimistic. Yet, I’ve learned that the universe responds to the vibrations I emit. To keep myself in alignment during challenging days, I turn to my journal. I simply acknowledge and feel the emotions, even if they’re negative, and then release them. Why? Because I understand that I am the architect of my own reality. Through my experiences, I’ve learned that it’s all a mental game. Everything circles back to me. It’s this intentional alignment of my vibrations that sets the tone for a day filled with positivity and purpose.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I find my passion in the heart of the film industry. Operating behind the scenes, I specialize in designing and crafting pitch decks that get producers’ and directors’ ideas into the limelight, often landing them on the desks of major studios like Universal Studios, Amazon Studios, Warner Brothers, OWN and more.
The most exciting part for me is the process and the final outcome. I consider myself a “dot connector”, linking talented minds for projects, essentially taking on a producer role. Patience is key; these projects, whether in film or acting, can take a while to develop, secure funding, and finalize contracts. The movie I acted in two years ago is still in the editing phase—talk about a slow burn!
On the entrepreneurial front, I run Zashdash, LLC, offering creative strategy services for small businesses and film projects. From pitch decks and treatments to graphic design, project management and creative consultation, I’m dedicated to helping others succeed in their creative ventures. Check out www.zashdash.com, launching by the end of December 2023, and book a quick intro call to see how I can assist you! Everything I do is creative, I even offer custom paintings – I truly do it all!
Beyond the glamour of Cinema, my true passion lies in making a positive impact. Having attended a school in the Dominican Republic, despite being one of the best experiences of my life, it didn’t quite mirror the typical image of a school. With unpainted walls, exposed wires, and no cafeteria, it lacked the kid-friendly vibe one would expect. I aspire to establish a non-profit with a long-term goal of remodeling schools in third-world countries, transforming them into environments where young minds can thrive in a genuinely kid-friendly setting.
Above all, my journey is a mix of creativity, strategy, and a mission to lift others. It’s a reminder that anything is possible, and the key is to believe in yourself, not just what others say—be it family, friends, or anyone else.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Reflecting on my journey, these three qualities stood out:
Alignment: Tune into your vibrations (how you feel); they’re your compass in the chaos. Stay aligned with your desires and let the universe respond.
Allowance: Embrace the unexpected; it’s often a pathway to something better. Allow and trust the process. Everything is a lesson to get you to the next phase or step.
Intention: Set clear intentions for what you want. The universe aligns with your intentions.
For beginners:
Listen Within: Trust your gut feelings; they’re your guide.
Flow with Change: Instead of resisting, flow with change. It might just be redirecting you to a better path.
Visualize Your Path: Clearly visualize your goals. It sets the tone for the universe to respond in your favor.
How would you spend the next decade if you somehow knew that it was your last?
My challenge has been staying patient while waiting for deals, all while juggling the content creation pressure and the need to find your zen off the grid? It’s a bit of a wild ride.
