Engineer My Future

Alex Nuntapreda

This podcast is for people looking for the habits and systems behind what makes people successful. Success is a byproduct of repeatable systems and habits drawn out over a long enough time horizon. In the Engineer My Future Podcast, Alex sits down with people who have chosen an unconventional life path: adventures and athletes, engineers and scientists, musicians and artists. These outliers find success in different ways, but we are usually so focused on what they did, we never learn how they actually did it. Each episode you will gain new insights, habits and strategies to find success.

    Ralston Garrett is an adventure documentary photographer. After an injury abruptly ended his career in law enforcement, Ralston picked up a camera and found a deep sense of purpose in storytelling. We discuss the modern day obsession with documenting everything and if that helps or hinders us, why some of the best stories aren't always the prettiest, and what it means to actually experience life.Find Ralston's work here: https://ralstongarrettphotography.com/Ralston on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/ralston.photo/I hope you enjoyed... you can find me here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexnuntapreda/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alexnuntapredaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@alexnuntapredaIf you'd like more help with your goals, career, content, or mountaineering, you can book a 1:1 call with me here: https://calendly.com/alexnuntapreda/coaching-callThe gear I actually use on all of my climbs:Get Black Diamond Gear Here: https://alnk.to/1N6xoP4CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction03:00 Losing His Career and Finding a New Purpose05:55 Why Ralston Stopped Chasing the Algorithm09:29 What Makes a Photograph Truly Meaningful?12:23 The Balance Between Art and Technical Skill16:04 How to Tell a Story Through Photography21:24 The Science of Experiencing vs. Remembering24:09 Are We Documenting Life Instead of Living It?30:12 Why Your Greatest Moments Go Unrecorded34:43 Why People Act Differently on Camera39:15 Is Your Camera Replacing Your Memories?43:59 Why Emotion Makes a Photo Unforgettable46:42 Why Black and White Photography Feels Timeless53:28 Why a $600 Camera Is All You Really Need59:15 Choosing Passion Over Financial Success*** Also hi I'm Alex and I am a chemical engineer who is obsessed with building a maximized life.
