In the February issue of SUCCESS, learn about how Hollywood visionary J.J. Abrams turned his creative ideas into wildly successful films and television shows

In the February issue of SUCCESS, discover how the mind behind movie and television classics such as The Force Awakens, Stark Trek: Into the Darkness, Alias and Lost has leveraged his love of storytelling, technology and never-ending curiosity to create an entertainment empire we have all come to know and love.

One of the keys to his success? Trusting his team and not micromanaging them. "I work with hardworking people who know what they are doing. The benefit of that is I learn every day how I can be a better producer, a better writer, a better storyteller."

In his interview with SUCCESS Contributing Editor Susan Young, Abrams talks about what keeps him going and the importance of trusting his gut.

"I needed to learn that if there's something you really feel, other people do, too."
