Richard Bernabe on productivity hacks and techniques for creators - photographers, artists, writers, musicians, etc. - so they can spend more of their time on the act on creating and less time bogged down on the mundane tasks of running a business.

These are battle-tested productivity techniques that transformed my creative practice. Discover how I wrote an entire photography book in just 7 months (instead of 2 years), how to identify which 20% of your work produces 80% of your results, and why multitasking is destroying your creative output.

Tom Mangelsen is a renowned American nature and wildlife photographer celebrated for his breathtaking imagery that captures some of the planet’s most iconic animals in their natural habitats. Born in Nebraska, Mangelsen’s early fascination with the outdoors, fostered by time spent hunting and fishing along the Platte River, laid the foundation for his lifelong dedication to conservation-focused photography. Over the course of his prolific career, he has traveled across all seven continents, documenting everything from Alaskan brown bears  to Africa’s majestic elephants traversing vast savannas and many places in between. His commitment to capturing authentic wildlife moments has made him a recipient of numerous awards, including recognition by the BBC as one of the 40 most influential nature photographers in the world.

Grizzly 399 was a world-famous grizzly bear residing primarily in Grand Teton National Park, often hailed as the “Matriarch of the Tetons.” Born in 1996, she has garnered widespread media and public attention for raising numerous litters of cubs - often in close proximity to roads and park visitors - while maintaining a relatively calm demeanor around humans. Her remarkable maternal track record has contributed significantly to our understanding of grizzly behavior and ecology in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. She was struck and killed by a vehicle on October 22, 2024.
