    #4 Tim Werner: Risk, Freelancing & Building a Creative Career

    In this episode of Amigos Pod we sit down with filmmaker and creative entrepreneur Tim Werner. Tim started content creation at a later stage than most, but quickly turned it into his full-time career. We talk about the reality of building a creative life from scratch — risking your savings, navigating the loneliness of freelancing, and learning how to trust others with your clients without compromising quality. Tim shares the lessons he learned from working several 9–5 jobs, struggling with self-esteem after a difficult military experience, and eventually deciding to bet on himself and pursue freelancing full time. We also dive into the importance of building a network, knowing your value, and why connecting with other creatives earlier could change everything. If you’re trying to build a creative career or thinking about leaving the 9–5 life, this episode offers an honest look at what it really takes.

    #3 Emma Haugen: A Female Photographer in a Male-Dominated Industry

    In Episode 3, photographer Emma Haugen joins us to talk about building a career in sports, fitness, and music photography. She has worked with major clients like SATS, artists, and photographed the first Norwegian female DJ at Tomorrowland. We discuss what it’s like working as a woman in a predominantly male industry, how she connects with clients to capture real emotions, and the intense reality of shooting weddings during Norway’s high season. Emma also shares insights on building long-term client relationships, creating community through social media, and collaborating with Sony Nordic to test new gear. This episode is about confidence, curiosity, and learning every part of the craft — from pressing the shutter to running the business.

    #2 Åsmund Groven: From Cyber Tech to Cinematic Freedom

    In Episode 2, Åsmund Groven shares how he went from earning a bachelor in Cyber Technology to chasing cinematic filmmaking full-time. While studying, he already had paying clients — but didn’t know how to make it sustainable. After realizing cyber security wasn’t for him, he traveled solo through Vietnam and Bali before spending half a year on exchange in Australia. He wanted freedom, not a traditional path. We talk color grading, capturing maximum information in-camera, failing often, doubting your discipline, and learning the business side through entrepreneurship. This episode is about trusting your instincts, moving at your own pace, and building something that actually feels right.
