Episode 110 - Rory Kramer : Listen To Your Thoughts

Rory Kramer is a professional videographer and life liver. In the past he’s worked for Justin Bieber, Kanye West and The Chainsmokers. He is the creator behind MTV’s Dare to Live, a show forcing music stars like Shawn Mendes, Martin Garrix and Khalid out of their comfort zones. Born and raised in Tell City, Indiana, his father owned a restaurant and his mother was a nurse. Spending his summers in Clear Lake, Indiana, his Lake Life videos ultimately became the foundation for his career. Although he was sure that video was what he wanted to do, his father influenced him to attend Indiana University. Eventually he moved out to Los Angeles, CA where he took the first job that he could find. What seemed like a good 6-month gig quickly turned into 4 years. He hated the job so much he would sneak vodka through a water bottle into work. With an opportunity to create videos for 3LAU, an american DJ, he left his job and never went back. It isn’t pure luck he is where he is today, as he would say… “I put in my damn time!” His life motto, RUN IT!, is a reminder for us to all continue pushing forward even when fear tries to hold us back. In this episode Rory discusses that if you want something you have to earn it, taking care of ourselves helps us be prepared mentally, being aware of how much social media we consume, a near death accident rolling his car changed his perspective and the importance of listening to your thoughts. - If you enjoy this podcast, please screenshot it & post it to your Instagram Story tagging @RoryKramer & @PurposeintheYouth.  If you really enjoy it, leave us a 1 sentence review on the iTunes podcast App with your honest feedback.
