Hoffman frames development as both a teachable “science” and a harder-to-teach “art,” emphasizing communication presence, appropriate confidence, and donor-facing instincts.
Hochman then gives a practical interview lens: prioritize open-ended questions th...

My Dusty BibleJonah | Bible ReadingThis change of plans greatly upset Jonah, and he became very angry. So he complained to the Lord about it: “Didn’t I say before I left home that you would do this, Lord? That is why I ran away to Tarshish! I knew that you are a merciful and compassionate God, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. You are eager to turn back from destroying people. Just kill me now, Lord! I’d rather be dead than alive if what I predicted will not happen.” (Jonah 4:1-3 NLT).--Chapter Time Stamps:00:00 Intro...

Full Cast And Crew155. Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in 'Moneyball' (2011)Bennett Miller was the 3rd director attached to the adaptation of Michael Lewis' classic baseball non-fiction book 'Moneyball', after Steven Soderbergh was replaced by Sony, who got nervous over his plan for interspersing interviews with real-life characters from the book like Lenny Dykstra and Darryl Strawberry throughout the film.
