These days, doing a good job — and advancing in a career — isn’t about mastering a predetermined set of skills and knowledge. Why? Because by the time you’ve checked that box, the necessary skills will have changed and the required knowledge has evolved in ways you couldn’t have imagined.

Simply put, you can no longer assume you know everything you need to perform well in today’s fluid economy. Everything is changing: the job, the industry, the economy itself. If you want to keep up and get ahead, you have to embrace change as well — building new skills, letting go of old assumptions, and mastering the art of lifelong learning.

In his new book, Bradley R. Staats, Associate Professor of Operations at The University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, explains in clear terms the mindset that’s essential for survival in today’s business environment. And he provides practical tools for reframing priorities and recognizing what’s
truly important.

Torero, more commonly known as bullfighting, is an ancient spectacle which has influenced aspects of every culture in the world. The spectacle itself is dangerous and brutal, yet sophisticated and rich with details dating back more than five thousand years. Matadors are often wounded and sometimes killed as they strive to prove themselves against one of the most mighty creatures known to man. They frequently originate from generations of families which have raised bulls or have participated in bullfighting. However, in today’s world this spectacle is extremely polarized and many think its time should come to an end.

Set in Madrid (2007), a matador by the name of Mateo Garcia is expected to become a great bullfighter like his father. Mateo lacks conviction and as he ages he begins to resent his predestination. His mental stability falters and the pressure of greatness alongside his soft nature leads him to turn to Christ for absolution. The pain he caused to countless bulls plagues him as he begins a down-ward spiral of insanity, ultimately leading to death. He does not fear but embraces the process which he believes is an offering to God.

As Mateo prepares for his most important fight of the season he arrives at a breaking point. Years prior, his father died in the same arena he is to fight in later that day. Mateo pleads with God in the hopes that he will grant him strength, but God does not answer. The mental collapse leads him to enter a state of purgatory where his past opponents finally catch and deliver him to his maker.

I am more is an initiative by Animagic Studios to create a conversation around self-esteem and body confidence among young women, their families and social circles.

Using storytelling and digital media we want to raise awareness about this important social issue that is affecting the lives of millions of young women all around the world.

We want to inspire women to see themselves beyond their looks and see more than just a reflection in the mirror. To stare a little longer and find all aspects of themselves that makes them unique, valuable and beautiful.

This is a story to help you find your true self.
