The Lesson: Numbers don't speak untruths, and for a female minority in a bro-business like Hollywood movie production, they're sexy that way. Saga Elmohtasen has produced hundred million dollar productions, but regardless of how successful she is, she doesn't let it go to her head, remembering that it's her roots and natural attitude that lead her to be successful.

Notable Excerpt: "I don't take any of my work seriously, with all due repect, but I'm serious about my work. Do you see the dicotomy here? At the end of the day I'm a daughter, I'm a sister, I'm an auntie, I'm way more than a producer, and I don't take any of it seriously but I'm so dang serious about the job. Being able to sever those two has been a lifesaver."

The Guest: Saga Elmohtaseb is a seasoned Hollywood producer, consultant and professor. With a passion for film, Saga has worked on box office hits such as The Devil Wears Prada, A Good Year,Eragon, Just Go With It, Jack & Jill, and Iron Man 2.
