Hollywood IQ

In this trailer episode, host Ri-Karlo Handy shares the vision behind Hollywood IQ: a show dedicated to exploring the thought process behind building creative businesses. Whether it's producing blockbuster films or launching a podcast, Handy draws on his experience as a television executive to break down where aspiring creatives can begin.

He highlights the difference between being a creative entrepreneur versus a sole creative. With a mission to open doors for diverse creative pathways and spotlight nonprofits, such as Handy Foundation's workforce training, he aims to making an impact with people chasing a dream. Hollywood IQ is more than a podcast, it is a guide to building a sustainable career in entertainment.
