14: Samantha Jacob, Portrait and Wedding Photographer in Las Vegas
Very excited to have portrait and wedding photographer Samantha Jacobs on the podcast this week.
I had the pleasure of meeting Samantha during the NBA summer league in Las Vegas a couple of years ago and have been following her ever since.
It was amazing to pick Samantha's brain about her move from Kansas to Sin city as she wanted to grow her photography career.
This episode is packed with helpful hints and lots of inspiration for established and up-and-coming portraits and especially wedding photographers.

13: Mathew Stucko- Sports Host on FOX/YES Network and host of Keep Swinging Podcast
2X Emmy Award-winner | YES Network | Jersey Shore dude 🌊 | Keep Swinging Podcast |
Very Excited to have Mathew Stucko on the Podcast as my guest this week.
"Stucko" as we called him is one of the most genuine people I ever had the pleasure of working with.
I was lucky to meet Stuck about 10 years ago when we both worked at Bleacher Report which at the time was an unknown sports site.
Stucko has come a long way since the BR days and we had a lot of fun talking about BR early days, growing pains, and the success that Mathew has worked so hard for.
For more Stucko

12: Reilly Balcom, Photographer and Videographer and creator of Another Visual Banger
Excited to have Dp and Editor Reilly Balcom who I consider the next generation of creators. I had the pleasure of working with Reilly when he edited an episode of a Jordan Clarkson series. It was obvious then how talented the young creator was and I was excited to see his skills grow. Two years later and Reilly continues to build his reel and talents as he started his company Another Visual Banger.
This episode is perfect for the creators just starting out and a good reminder of the optimistic creator spirit for some of the more seasoned/jaded professionals. -
Bonus Content: Khary Mason is a retired Detroit Homicide detective who uses writing and photography to help heal and educate.
This was the beginning of my conversation with Khary Mason on Episode 07 but I did;t feel it was the best way to start our podcast and didn't feel right slapping at the end for fear most people wouldn't make it to the end of a 2+ hr podcast.
I'm glad I did because now I'm able to add it as Bonus Content.
The name of this writing by Khary is- When I no longer possess a piece of tin.
More on Mr. Mason-
Khary Mason is a native Detroiter who has spent half of his life with the Detroit Police Department. He is currently working as a homicide detective. Initially, photography and writing were nothing more than elements of his job that were used to aid memory. In the past decade, recognizing the power that comes along with words and images he took a more proactive approach by expanding his knowledge in both fields. In 2015 Khary attended the College for Creative Studies to further his interest in photography and started to write and perform spoken word. From 2015 -2019 Khary was the Co-lead of a photography project sponsored by the NJHIA at Princeton University.
Khary’s multidisciplinary Arts, and law enforcement background coupled with his early childhood experience allow him to advocate for children of marginalized populations through mentoring, art, and speaking engagements.
Khary also has a passion for the Culinary Arts.

11: Amir Ebrahimi, Documentarian DP and Photographer on the origins of Shoot Wisely and his personal creative journey.
In today's episode, I fly solo and discuss the back story to the Shoot Wisely Podcast and I give a brief history of my creative journey and break down the path that led me to where I am now. From my early NYC days as a DJ to my years in set design and art direction.
Next week we will be back with the guest format but I thought it might be important to give you a little more insight into who your host is and what creative path I took.
This probably should have been episode one! -
