Today on Around The Reel the three of us discuss the importance of building a team, building a community and sharing with everyone in the industry. It's vital that all creatives understand that this isn't a competition amongst one another but more of a family of creatives in different boats sailing the waters alone... Let's all board the same vessel and make the trip better for us all! Sam dives in to the emotional side of needing others, Chuck shares his views on "Joining Together" and Aaron shares a story about someone in our industry who was reluctant to give away his "Secrets!"
