Anson and Chris recap their recent trip to Los Angeles. They ate, they drank, they networked, and they chilled. All around good times were had, so keep your eyes and ears open for the people and places they crossed paths with in the City of Angels.

Thanks to the Southern (California) hospitality of:

Anson and Chris chat it up with Photographer Lisa Vortman.  As a film and digital pro for over 10 years, she has developed her career directing people for portraits, as well as capturing raw moments in the yoga studio, and all over the world. The guys discuss with her how social media has changed the landscape of the photography industry, and the struggles of finding your niche in such a diverse art form. Everybody has a camera in their pocket these days, but not everyone has the eye and directorial prowess of a seasoned pro.

Emilio Domingo, an Artist native to the East Bay stops by to chat with Anson and Chris. Emilio has been honing his art and design skills through various mediums since high school.

They discuss his inspiration found during his international travels, some of his current work, and what he has planned for the future. If you're into art, alcohol, and tales from Australia, you will really enjoy this discussion.

Anson and Chris chop it up with Hair Stylist and Educator Kat Nacario. Kat has been cutting and styling as a pro for nearly 15 years, but her resume as a hair care professional doesn’t stop there. They learn about other avenues of potential income in the multi-billion dollar hair care industry as we explore her background as an educator for No. 4 High Performance Haircare. They get into the profound effect that social media has had an already booming industry, and disspell some hair care myths, making sure to shed some light on proper hair care practices as well. This topic was especially fun for the guys to get into, as they are fairly inexperienced when it comes to salon talk. So whether you’re a hair care veteran, or you’re as clueless as they were, we really think you’ll enjoy this conversation about everything hair.
