    The real reason that you feel stuck as a Photographer

    Hey there! Are you feeling frustrated... stuck... overwhelmed with your photography? Well you've come to the right place. Thats what we're talking about today. I have a mini breakdown of this episode down below if you're interested as well: Why don’t I EVER improve? 1. The truth behind creative block/ writers block is not that you don’t have the ability to take photos. You’re just overthinking it and are striving for that perfection or award winning shot every time you snap a shutter. You feel stuck taking photos that you feel are bad. You’re just used to your work or you aren't shooting enough out side of your comfort zone 2. Improving your photography comes from different things. The technical aspect knowing your settings, being intentional with those settings and your compositions, finding what you enjoy taking photos of, knowing the difference between taking/ making photos, the story/ theme you are conveying, the feeling you want to deliver, the way you are and are not limiting yourself, the overall goal, thinking outside the box. 3. Put yourself in uncomfortable shooting situations that make you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing and make you problem solve 4. Trying different lenses, styles, types of photography, etc. 5. Photography is all about perspective. Put yourself in your audiences shoes. What do you want them to see? Or feel? Do you want something to seem big? Shoot low. Small? Shoot high. Want it to feel cluttered and chaotic add different foreground/ background elements, simple? Make it minimalistic and focused. Start to look at the world around you in frames.

    I learned more about YouTube in the last 3 months than in 3 YEARS

    I'm excited to talk about some things that have happened lately that have completely changed the way I create (ESPECIALLY on YouTube). After working with Some big name YouTubers and talking with a few of my friends that make a fulltime income as professional youtubers I am excited to share what I have learned and talk about the biggest mistakes that have held me (and probably you) back up until now.

    How to know if you're a washed up creator

    The key to a better life is having better problems... with that being said today we are punching fear in the face and uploading the very first episode of season 3 after a year away from the Morning cup of Joe podcast. What a way to kick off season 3! Today we are talking about the struggles of being a creator working for yourself, we put some problems into perspective, and I go over some goals for myself, the show, AND my creative works as a whole.  If you take anything from this podcast I hope that it's this message: "If you can fail at what you don't want in life, why don't you try succeeding at what you do want? Enjoy the process on your way to the destination you're trying to reach. "We are officially kicking off season 3 of the podcast, the very first season that is both audio AND video!

    Are you being ambitious enough? (Manoa Rain)

    Today we sit down with Manoa Rain: a content creator, an educator, and overall amazing guy. Today we are talking about the differences between filmmaking and photography, things most people don't consider when it comes to gear, and the pros and cons of being an artist. Today we also answer the age old question... are you being ambitious enough? As road trip nation says "Are you really a good traveler if you're not lost?" and while as an artist it can be important to be known for that one thing (building a niche) it's also important for your fulfillment, creativity, and self exploration in general to try different aspects of creating. Learning the pros and cons of Photo and Video... trying your hand at music or painting/ drawing or etc.. What is the difference between being a filmmaker or a videographer? In a rising creative world where everything is possible you don't know how good or bad you are at something until you get started.

    The importance of building a NICHE (Sinematic Seth)

    In todays episode I talk to Seth AKA Sinematic Seth about the importance of building a niche and the benefits that come with niching down. We also talk about his start as a creator and the support system he had coming up as a creator. Starting out can be and often is one of the most intimidating aspects of creation. We also cover how to connect with fellow creators on collaborations or how to surround yourself with like minded individuals. Finally we talked about how important finding a niche is, what paid work we do the most to fund our YouTube channels, and the biggest mistake we've made while on a shoot. Overall this ended up being a super impactful and insightful conversation for me and I hope you get the same value out of it as we have.

    How to get ahead as a new Photographer/ Filmmaker (Ft. Zach Anaya)

    We all go through the same struggle starting out.... You're brand new as a creator, you have a couple thousand dollars of gear that you have no idea how to use and an empty bank account (Or even a maxed out credit card), and you have no idea what to do next to get ahead and start working on paying that off and actually making use of your skills and gear. In this episode we are going to talk about Zach Anaya's journey starting out and what he's been doing to make connections in this industry and continue to improve as a creator step by step.

    The Importance of Building an inner circle (With Jonah Levine)

    Today we talk about a subject that is a little under talked about in the creative world (or anyone's path for success for that matter) and that is... the importance of building an inner circle. When I say inner circle I mean a group of people doing what you either already do (better than you) or someone who is doing something that you want to do. As the saying goes "you are the sum total of who you spend the most time around" so if you want to be great, you surround yourself with greatness. Do you think Navy seals spend a good amount of their time hanging out with mediocre people? HELL NO. Why do you think athletes spend time with other athletes or influential people? There's a reason athletes don't hang around their fans. They spent their whole life dedicated to being the OPPOSITE of the people who watch and support them. Not to say that anybody in particular is either a bad or a good person per se, some people are good people... just not good for you... or better yet not embarking on the same journey or at the same level of that journey yet.
