Being a Photographer on a Project Involving Mr. Beast, Recovery and Taking Breaks is Part of Progress, & Why You Should Have a Clean Workspace

1 hour 8 minutes

In today's episode, friend of the show and Tamron Ambassador Ian Jones (@iansjones) joins us once again this time to to talk about an exciting project he was recently involved with. He was the photographer on set for his friend and creator Ryan Peters (@ryanpeterspgh) who was working on a collaborative project with Mr. Beast, the largest Youtube creator in the world. We hear how that opportunity arose for Ian among other things. In this episode some of the main things we touch on are:

Not caring about what a gig will pay if the opportunity is exciting/cool
Saying "yes" as much as you can will open doors (within reason)
Focusing on your own path, but finding motivation and inspiration from what others are doing
Why a clean workspace or designated zone is good for the mind and workflow
How the rest in between bouts of hard work needs to be considered work and part of making progress
