Meet Khalif Breaux

We recently connected with Khalif Breaux and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Khalif with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?

My work ethic comes from a childhood drive to never return to the ghetto. I saw several people get lost in the neighborhood to never succeed or leave the city. The aftermath of hurricane Katrina created and urgency for me to affect change.

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 have been an Audio engineer the bulk of my career, with a minor in producing, cinematography, directing and post production.
Lately I have been making movies in the documentary space and really starting to enjoy it.
My most recent projects include a documentary series about mental health and an indie scripted dramatic movie.
The first documentary in the series is “Mental: Elderly Abuse;” focused on elderly abuse. The dramatic film I Executive produced is a fun drama made for Streaming called Echoes II.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

I was extremely fortunate to have mentors that taught me camera, audio, and lighting. I had been acting, directing and producing since high school.
My advice is to learn multiple skills around the same product. It’s cool to have several hobbies, but learn as much about the product that you want to produce.
If you want to paint learn how to make paint, build your canvas and get prints of your art work made for future sales.

As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?

Oddly, the book “Intelligent Investor,” by Benjamin Graham has been my go-to book since I was young. I have read every edition since 1994.
This book taught me to work on my long game and not place too much focus on short game. Make little moves that compile over time and pay out for the rest of my life.
