Summary
This book will change the way you think about success.
Producer of television’s iconic Degrassi franchise Stephen Stohn tells stories from behind the scenes and of making it in the music and television world in this star-studded, rock ’n’ roll trip through a Canadian show business explosion. Stohn, who has been at the heart of the entertainment industry for over forty years, shares a lifetime of experience and unique insights into how dreams are turned into reality.
“Whatever It Takes”—both a mantra and Degrassi’s theme song—has been heard millions of times all over the world. It embodies a philosophy of struggle and self-belief leading to accomplishment, as well as the story of an exploring mind, an adventurous pursuit of experience, ringing failures, and the willingness to see things in a different way.
Critic reviews
“Stephen Stohn is the Forrest Gump of Canadian pop culture, a behind the scenes fixture for many of the most successful artists and celebrities from the ’80s, ’90s and beyond.” ― CBC’s q blog
“The honest, insightful and highly entertaining stories here form a sort of sourcebook for those of us who want to work on becoming better human beings. It’s kind of a Zen manual for self-awareness disguised as a great entertainment memoir. And that’s why you should read it. You’ll not only enjoy yourself, you’ll be inspired by it too.” ― Bob Ezrin, Record Producer
“Stephen Stohn is one of the architects of the current Canadian star system. He is also its most committed champion, so proud of the creative class we have here in Canada, and yet so humble about his own contribution to our vibrant creative community. From kd lang to Drake, from ‘Black Velvet‘ to Degrassi, he’s telling the stories — as a mentor, as a visionary, and, above all, as a dedicated fan who recognizes the value of Canadian talent and who has built a career out of making sure that that talent is recognized around the world.” ― Elaine Lui, founder of LaineyGossip.com
