Learning how to run a successful business means making a shedload of mistakes. And that’s because most of us didn’t learn about running a business from a boardroom, we learnt it from TV and film.

But how accurate are those on-screen lessons?

Will they tank your business?

And can they actually help you in real life?

I Can Do That! starring… Claire & Al

We’re Claire and Al, the hosts of I Can Do That!

But what makes us qualified to talk about film and business?

Well…

Claire is a self-employed accountant, while Al is a TV and radio presenter, voiceover artist and podcast producer.

We’ve both run our businesses for yonks and while we’ve yet to perform death-defying stunts like Tom Cruise or appear as an extra in any of the billion Fast & Furious films (we’ve got to be the only ones now, right?), what we do know about is movies and business.
