    Ibarionex Perello is the host of his own podcast called The Candid Frame, a unique photography show in which he interviews both legendary and upcoming photographers about their creative processes. He is also a skilled photographer himself as well as the author of several books on photography.

    I've been a long time listener to the Candid Frame podcast and I'm a huge fan. This was the second interview I ever recorded and the first with someone I had never met in person. I was super nervous going into it but it was a valuable confidence booster for me to complete it. Ibarionex was a great guest and I'm grateful he was willing to take a chance on being interviewed by such a newbie!

  • RL1: Tino Specht on Working For National Geographic, Red Bull and Adidas Outdoors

    Watch Tino's videos and get the full show notes at redefinedlife.com/1

    Tino has successfully combined his passion for whitewater kayaking and video production to create an amazing life for himself while lifting up the people around him in the process.

    Coming up in the world of whitewater kayaking, Tino was often told "there is no money in kayaking." Undeterred, he continued to hone his paddling and video skills on the best whitewater rivers in the world and surround himself with mentors who could guide him on his untraditional path.

    Tino's award winning personal project "Unknown", a series of video profiles on upcoming stars in the whitewater world, is a prime example of Tino's hard work, dedication to his craft and generous desire to highlight the achievements of those around him. More recently, he has been working on a new series, Legends. The first Legend he profiles is none other than our guest on episode 2 of the Redefined Life Podcast, Jeff Shapiro.

    By setting up shop near Santiago, Chile, he was able to make a name for himself competing in a market full of opportunity and primed for expansion. Tino billed his company, Nomade Media, as an adventure media provider. Eventually, the hard work paid off as he has earned the attention of clients like National Geographic, Red Bull and Adidas Outdoors.

    Tino's generosity and skills as a paddler, cameraman and editor enable him to get the shots nobody else could.
