Hollywood Is In The Toilet
KID PORCELAIN
Toilet Whisperer
Where does your optimism come from?
Every time I discover a toilet in the wild, it tells me something about the world around us. Itâs not always pretty – but by filtering the abandoned and broken through a fluffy cloud and puppy dog lens, it helps the positive nuggets of any situation naturally shine through. And from that positivity comes hope. And itâs hope that creates the optimism.
Can you describe three important qualities, skills or areas of knowledge in your work.
Discovering toilets in the wild requires the confidence to walk into scary allies, an ability to stop quick, turn around, pull over and jump out of a car with the unbridled fortitude to snap away while others look at you like a freak. In Hollywood, this translates into a sniffing out fresh opportunities and coming up with unique ways to put yourself out there to go for it.
Will enough ever be enough?
I was discouraged when Guinness World Records thought the worldâs largest photographic collection of abandoned photographs in the wild (over 1200 at last count) was too weird. But I found new light when the United Nations lauded my âPerfect Lifeâ video for its promotion of clean sanitation around the world. Now, as I continue to log miles all around LA , I still find the thrill of the hunt and desire to capture things in a unique way just as odd and joyful as when I found that first toilet on the side of Hollywood Boulevard.
Whatâs next for Kid Porcelain and the Toilets in the Wild Brand?
Excited about the publication of âThe Adventures of Kid Porcelainâ – itâs a Hollywood story of evolution and metamorphosis. Moving forward, manifesting a promotional tour of toilet-obsessed Japan, a local gallery show, a duet with Skibidi Toilet and an American Standard, Toto or Squatty Potty sponsorship.

Make It Personal
Meet ME
Communication skills
We live in an age where our ability to communicate effectively can be like a superpower. Can you share how you developed your ability to communicate well?
When it comes to communicating, I always attempt to work backwards from the person Iâm interacting with by attempting to understand where they might be coming from on the particular subject and where my communication âfitsâ into the course of that personâs busy day. At that point, I look inside my corporation within and assign the conversation to the most appropriate ME team member. Then, WE just march forward as our best, most natural self.
Tell our readers about yourself.
Inside each of us is a business. And that business contains all the same elements, important decisions and daily dramas that exist at larger corporations.
The corporation within
Meet the team:
ME – Chief Executive
Me – Management
Me – Staff
me – Intern
ME is YOU. Pass it on.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in todayâs highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
⢠Internal strength is key
⢠You be YOU
⢠There is an âiâ in team
What would you advise â going all in on your strengths or investing on areas where you arenât as strong to be more well-rounded?
We are who we are. And since itâs just US, we need to do our best to try and steer into our strengths, while also being prepared to âdanceâ in the event the ball hits a leg or bounces another way.

Live Your Best Life
âJersey Shoreâ
Situation
Andrew Stewart is a successful San Francisco Architect. At his best, heâs a smart, likable professional, with a wide range of interesting accomplishments to his credit. Unfortunately, Andrew often focuses on the negative, which keeps him from moving forward on issues important to his long-term growth. Stuck in a rut and frustrated by his own frustration, Andrew requested ‘a new life.’
Life Scriptsâ˘
Because lifeâs not so hard if you know what to say.
Idea
Character development, with a goal of bringing Andrewâs finest qualities to the surface more often. This would allow him to deal with life’s daily situations from his most positive headspace.
Execution
To change repetitive behaviors, it was determined that Andrew had to truly change how he acted. He needed to ‘become someone else’ and adapt a new personality. Reaching into his past, it was discovered that Andrewâs biggest smiles came from thinking about his Summers on the East Coast.
Execution
A more positive rock-star-like alter ego was created for Andrew and he was given a new name: JERSEY SHORE. Jersey represented the best of Andrew Stewart.
Andrew studied his part. Then he had his hair cut at a nice salon and bought more stylish clothes to help complete the Jersey Shore transformation.
The Unveiling
Jersey was introduced at a gallery opening. Instantly, he was the center of attention. Normally shy, his smile was ear-to-ear. Conversation and laughter surrounded him. His confidence soared.
Attributable Highlights
New house and SUV, multiple dates, a series of positive business moves and an invitation to an exclusive local fashion show.
