The Render and Repeat Podcast

This week the boys talk about creators who got the bag, and creators who didn't. Lot's of drama with the Social Gloves, Youtubers vs. TikTokers fighters not getting half of the money they were promised on their contracts. Would you pissed be if you were Bryce Hall and you got beat up for free? We also touch on the PGA Tour's new Player Impact Program, where they dished out $40M in bonus money to players who drive eyeballs on social media. Then we wrap talking about in-game video purchases. Last year, gamers bought $54B in skins, emotes and virtual-goods, more money than the movie industry did in 2019.

This week the boys catch up on all the news in the creator space. Call Her Daddy was acquired by Spotify on a 3-year deal for $60m; we talk winners, losers, and the drawbacks of going "platform-exclusive." We touch on the NelkBoys newest product; a hard-seltzer. We're seeing more and more creators monetize their followings with consumable products, instead of just subscriptions or merchandise. Certainly a trend we're keeping a close-eye on in the future. And we wrap by talking about affinity vs. follower counts. What's the difference between passion, and vanity metrics, and how does it impact the profitability of a creator?

This week we dive into the inner-game of creativity. We talk about the Big-5 personality traits and what a typical profile looks like for creative people. Even if you're not interested in psychology, being informed about your own personality traits can help you live a healthier, more integrated life. We're always looking for a healthier work-to-life balance, right? We also talk through the role of social media in a creative career, and how it can positively and negatively impact mental health and creativity.

This week the boys give their reaction to the Floyd vs. Paul fight from last weekend. We jump into the event itself, how influencers are branching away from just making Youtube videos by moving to new spaces/industries, and where that trend could go in the future. Zooming into boxing, we cover how the sport is evolving — for better or for worse — into a blend between skill, theatrics and entertainment. In many ways, this fight was a watershed moment for the sport, opening the door for more influencers and non-traditional boxers to participate in the sport.

This week the boys buzz in person. We talk about imposter syndrome, and how social media feeds into that belief. We dive into better ways of framing the question — "Am I only as good as my last project?" and also share some useful follow-up questions to ask when you feel stuck on a project. We wrap by diving into the benchmarks you should pay attention to when making video advertisements. With video eating more and more of the feed, there are some key ideas to consider in the first 3 to 7 seconds you should be hitting on, that we bring up.

This week the boys dive into free work; when to do it, when to think about it, and when to run away from a project. We jump into specifics about the productive mindsets you should bring into these projects, setting healthy expectations and clear boundaries. Will shares a personal example of when he created a "spec-advertisement" for Marsblade, and how that led to a project after almost 6 months of not hearing a response from them. The conversation then turns to the portfolio; what should you include in your portfolio? How often should you update it? And, with social media, do you even need to have a portfolio website anymore?

This week we're joined by the talented Evan Hammerman. Evan is a concert photographer, video editor, and some might even say child prodigy. While most kids were playing video games, or shotgunning beers in their senior year of high school, Evan was busy sneaking into concerts and music festivals to take photos. He was able to cross off one of his life-goals of working with EDM-producer, Marshmello, before he turned 19, and has one of the most impressive photography portfolio's we've ever come across. We dive deep into his story, and much, much more. We hope you enjoy!

This week the boy's jump into the latest collaboration between Call of Duty Warzone and Gibson Hazard. We talk about how gaming culture has evolved from the fringes of society into the mainstream, and what comes next. We ask — what's the bigger deal: being a star musician today, or being an A-list gamer. And, more to the point, can you point to any real differences between the two anymore? As always we're trying to improve the quality of the show, and that's why we're going to start recommending content if you're interesting in anything we touch on in the show. This week we have two podcast reco's and a twitter account — Matt "Nadeshot" Haag and Jack "Courage" Dunlop's episode on Impaulsive, as well as Blake Robbins on Twitter.
