05 - Self-Sabotage & "Keep Showing Up" w/Youtuber & Food Photographer Joanie Simon

Today I talk to the guys from Epic Light Media about how they got started with their own production company, and the importance of taking risks and stepping out of your comfort zone. If you haven't checked out their channel, YOU NEED TO DO THAT. Some of the best lighting videos on the net! I had a great time with these guys! Enjoy!

Today we talk with Krystian Majewski from Lazy Devs Academy, a great YT channel that teaches game development.  We talk about having joy when you create as well as the benefits of working within your limitations.  Krystian is a great dude and I love his positive attitude.  I've learned a lot from him and I know you will too.

In this episode I talk to Kevin Stratvert, who makes Youtube videos about some of the most common software, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and more.  Kevin’s channel is just shy of 2 million subs, which is hard for many of us to fathom.  He shares some of his insights about experimenting with your content and learning as you go.  This episode is great for anyone who’s been afraid to dive in and start making content.  You don’t have to get it perfect the first time!  Try stuff, get messy, make mistakes!

Today we chat with Joanie Simon from "The Bite Shot"  she takes amazing photos of food.  She's a super pro, but still deals with self-doubt.  She's learned a TON over her career, and it's a REALLY encouraging conversation.  If you've had any trouble "Trusting the process" for learning and growing, this episode is for you!

Today we're talking with MrAlexTech about creative confidence, his process, and the idea of documenting your learning process in an imperfect way.  Alex is one of the most genuine people I've come across.  Such great insights here, I know you'll enjoy it!

Today we talk with Youtuber/Streamer Fuzzireno about staying inspired and passionate when you may have worked your content into a niche.  This is a FANTASTIC conversation that is perfect for anyone wanting to get that motivation up a bit.  We touch on her story, her process for creating videos, and touch on some essential self-care topics that are SO HELPFUL for creative people.

Today we talk with Sherwin Lau, who teaches filmmaking at the Creative Media Institute at New Mexico State University, and does a lot of teaching for Blackmagic Design.  Sherwin is one of my favorite people I've had the pleasure of working with at NABshow and it's a real treat to have him share his wisdom about being a responsible, team player, when it comes to creativity.
