We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Alex Goransson. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Alex below.
Hi Alex, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?
Its from a few different places but my main thing is having dyslexia your whole life you are pretty much used to always have to work harder than everybody els just to understand the basics. so as a kid, “like many kids with dyslexia” felt I was stupid and useless cause it didn’t matter what I did, it was never enough. so when I found what I was good at I used the same work ethic to become better, prove to myself and others that I wasn’t useless.
So Remembering the hardest times, where I once were and what you don’t want to go back to helped me a lot.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
Long story short, I grew up in a little viking town in Sweden called Trelleborg. Between 15-20 I was a professional European Handball player. Then I decided to move over to US to pursue music and acting. Later on acting became the thing I wanted to do more.
Right now I have a little shortfilm that is a pitch to a feature film playing in festivals “They Took Jacob”. So far we have won about 7 awards for it.
To be honest it’s been pretty slow with acting/Entertainment right now because of the strike, but hopefully in the next couple of months there will be big project coming up so stay tuned.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
I would say 1. Always be on time, to me that means being there 15-20 minutes early. And being on time is too late.
2. Always be the hardest worker in the room. That doesn’t mean you have to be the best one, but when you putting in that extra effort in whatever you do and people around sees that 8/10 that’s the person they wanna work with.
3. Be positive and happy. My goal eveytime I’m on set or doing other work I wanna make sure everybody’s having the best time. Why not always try have the best time ever.
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
I love to collaborate, right now on the side i’m working on a new athletic clothing brand, don’t know too much about it but I really enjoy it. looking at it from a different angle. The folks I wanna collaborate with should be a mixed of, hard working, open, don’t be too serious but also be professional when it asks for it and the person that has a great passion for it.
Im pretty simple to work with, my main thing has always been “Lets make the best product ever while having the best time”
