May 26, 2019 #14: Under the Influencer Influence
Send a text message to the show!
I’ve got a major case of Influenca, meaning that I’m sick of influencers. This past week saw the rise of a massive influencer campaign for a new photo/video product that I personally find overpriced and under-designed. Unfortunately, because so many reliable sources are pitching this product, I fear that many people may spend a lot of money on something that isn’t right for them.
At the same time, “influencer marketing” is a fast growing segment of the economy and isn’t all evil, so how do we find a healthy balance? I don’t know, but I ramble about it for almost an hour, so check it out.

March 23, 2019 #9: Men's Mental Health- It's OK to be Human
Send a text message to the show!
After finding an AskReddit thread that took a deep dive into a lot of mental health issues faced by men that aren’t often talked about, I thought it would be a good idea to share my perspective, and add my voice to help show that it’s ok to be human and deal with tough issues.
Even though this is mainly focused around “men’s” mental health, I’m sure a lot of the issues are pretty universal, and more than anything, I’m just in favor of people working to better understand themselves and be happy.

Send a text message to the show!
This is a live presentation of my “Work Hard, Be Kind, Have Fun: Just Create More” workshop at the Educating for Careers Conference in Sacramento in March of 2019.

March 03, 2019 #7: Work Hard. Be Kind. Have Fun...and the "C" Word.
Send a text message to the show!
In a world where “Hustle Culture” seems to be glorified more and more every day, I wanted to clarify a few things about the “Work Hard, Be Kind, Have Fun” slogan that I’ve been using for a number of years.
I also wanted to tie that into my thoughts on the “C” word– Content. And how “content creator” can be a damaging term that devalues the thing you’re spending valuable time creating.

February 25, 2019 #6: Canon vs. Sony (#TeamCanon)
Send a text message to the show!
This is a hot button issue in the camera world, and I’ve always been a pretty adamant member of #teamcanon. So, let me explain WHY and dive into a few of the reasons why I prefer Canon to Sony for my projects. I don’t think Canon gets the credit they deserve currently.
And nope, this isn’t a sponsored video, I just decided to defend a multi billion dollar corporation on my own thankyouverymuch!

February 17, 2019 #5: Things vs. Ideas
Send a text message to the show!
This week I wanted to take some time to discuss the trend I’ve noticed where things and products are taking center stage for many content creators and how this impacts our ability to freely share and discuss ideas.
This also leads into how to effectively incorporate sponsorships and partnerships into your work without sacrificing your integrity or devaluing your personal brand.
