Being Yourself With Buddy The Elf
The classic holiday film Elf offers a lot more than a good time and a bunch of laughs. It teaches you how to get the most out of your life by finding your comparative advantage – the intersection between what you’re good at and what people need. After watching this video, download our free ebook “Your Life, Your Work” to learn more about how to find your own comparative advantage and build a life you’re excited about. Get it HERE.

Thank you, and goodbye. Now it's your turn.
My dear Out of Frame supporters.
On this special, final edition of Out of Frame, I want to take some time to thank you, talk about the future, discuss the state of ideas, and highlight the Steven Spielberg’s 1997 movie “Amistad” — which turns out to be the perfect vehicle for some of the things I want to say as I close out the show.
Freedom is the birthright, and the desire of virtually everyone on the planet, and yet the enemies of liberty are everywhere — power-hungry politicians and bureaucrats, “strong men” authoritarians, technocrats, socialists, and cowardly citizens — so the battle to maintain a world built on individual liberty and the dignity of human beings will never be definitively won for all time.
Fighting for a free society requires a passionate, energetic minority to carry the torch and persuade others with open hearts and open minds. It’s a task I’ve dedicated my life towards, and I’m leaving FEE and this series so that I can work on even bigger projects and try to make an even greater impact than I hope I’ve had here.
So with this final episode of Out of Frame, I wanted to challenge you to pick up where I’m leaving off. It’s YOUR turn to get creative, and I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Cheers,
Sean W. Malone
Creator, Producer, Writer, and Host of Out of Frame.

Conformity doesn’t mean cohesion. This theme is portrayed brilliantly in Tim Burton’s classic film, Edward Scissorhands. It’s only when individuals embrace their “weirdness” — or uniqueness — that the whole is made better.

Every Star Wars Movie And Show Ranked
What’s the worst Star Wars movie of all time? The best? How did Lucas shove an excessive amount of politics into the prequels and still manage to deliver a thin story of the rise of space Hitler? We discuss all this and more on our Star Wars special episode of Out of Frame: Behind the Scenes. Also: we have an announcement. Because Sean is leaving FEE, this podcast will end after the next episode. The main Out of Frame series will continue.
