In this episode of the After Dark Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Mark Smith in my hometown, the Bay Area. 

We cover a lot of ground in this episode, from shooting and training to the mindset behind practice, and Mark’s role in the industry.

He’s made me think differently about a few things, and I’m sure he’ll do the same for you.

Sit back and enjoy this conversation with Mark Smith!
