This is a magical episode where we took all of the random topics that didn't merit an entire episode and blended them all into one melange of tasty torpitude. Michael kicks things off with a rant about studio names and things go downhill (in a good way) from there. Carl laments that he thinks he's going blind from...lack of fishing, which prompts Dan to declare that he's "never been too drunk to drink". Along the way you'll learn about such fascinating colors as aubergine and chartreuse, and how to find out if a clam is happy.

Is it important to have a website for your photography business? Oh, most definitely. This week the guys discuss the why and how of photography websites, and why one cannot live on social media alone. Along the way Michael busts out a Gwen Stefani riff, Carl talks about wearing the same shirts all the time, and Dan "casually" mentions his pricing product at store.seniorsunlocked.com. This week's pop culture references include Alta Vista (again), Aldo Nova, Gwen Stefani, Front Page, Titanic, and polygamy.

What marketing lessons can we learn from other businesses and industries? This episode is packed full of wisdomous ideas as we chat about what we can learn from a variety of sources such as McDonalds, spring break bars, luxury automobiles, Mexican beach vendors, fine dining restaurants, and of course, cavemen. Dan struggles early with the word "correlation". Michael and Dan both talk about how to look and sound busy when you really aren't. Carl talks about how to feather a crayon when the restaurant only gives you one. This week's random pop culture references include: The Buggles, Alta Vista, Beta tapes, and MySpace. And along the way someone's stomach growls quite loudly (Michael left it in the edit for fun....see if you can find it and win a prize!).

It's a big step, right? Moving from using only available light (often called "natural light", but isn't all light "natural"?) to learning off-camera flash can be daunting. It's a question we often get as we mentor other photographers. So we took on this tough subject and hopefully made it a little easier for you to understand and make the transition. Of course, along the way we get derailed on some interesting tangents. Michael shares what Froot Loops and pizza have to do with light placement. Carl waxes poetic about the way the light hit his fishing buddy. And Dan shares his secrets for making a great mojito (slap that mint!).

Clients say the darndest things. Like Dan mentions, this could be an episode of Family Feud. This week the guys wrestle with the hard and sometimes weird things that clients ask or request. Along the way we drink a little and even provide some good answers to these head-scratchers.  Imagine that? So how do you answer the question, "How much is an 8x10?" Or, "Can I see all of the photos you took?" Or even, "What if I only want to buy one pitcher?"  Listen and find out. And be sure to listen to the end as we pooled our money and hired a celebrity to help boost subscriptions.

Just when things couldn't get weirder...MURDER HORNETS! They actually sound worse than reality, and like many things, got a little overhyped. Which got us to thinking...and drinking: What's overhyped in the photography industry?  We made sure to get a good headstart on this Photo Happy Hour before we even hit the record button. You'll notice that when Carl realizes that we're actually recording after about 5 minutes. And Dan nearly strangles himself trying to pronounce "gypsy".
