The secret to success is simple, says Academy Award-winning actor Will Smith: Surround yourself with great people. Success is "a team sport," Smith, 54, said on a recent episode of "Hart to Heart," comedian Kevin Hart's Peacock talk show. The manager's advice was an example of support and collective decision-making between Smith and his team, family and friends, Smith said. What Smith calls a squad, Lisa Skeete Tatum — founder and CEO of Landit, a career consulting platform — calls a "personal board of directors." It's an essential factor in having a fulfilling, successful career, Tatum told CNBC Make It last year.

☆ Hollywood’s absolutely bizarre accounting tactics are under renewed scrutiny
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-19 | by ( Allison Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

But the unique accounting standards that the industry has long relied on to make those calculations is anything but straightforward. “Hollywood accounting,” as a concept, is so specific to the entertainment business it has its own Wikipedia page. And while experts say this kind of creative accounting is perfectly legal, the tactics involve some of the most fantastical fictions ever devised in Tinseltown. To actually make the movie, the subsidiary inevitably takes on expenses — crew wages, craft services, set design, props etc. That means all of these “creative” expense allocations shouldn’t affect what net profits the studio’s shareholders see.
