106. The Magic of 1,000 True Fans: Why They're All You Need
What's up Rock Nation, today we're talking about Kevin Kelly's theory of 1,000 true fans. The idea of 1,000,000 followers seems cool in theory, but to create a career out of this, you don't need 1,000,000 followers. You just need 1,000 true fans. We dive into what the theory is and how to garner a true fan.

103. Leaving Beautiful Destinations to Film a Stadium Tour with Illenium w/ Nainoa Langer
Today we welcome one of my talented creators out there, Nainoa Langer. Nainoa has been at this for a long time, and was at the forefront of the travel video space at a young age, when he was working with Beautiful Destinations. After a few years traveling the world with them, he decided to switch things up and dive into the music scene, where he linked up and started shooting for Illenium. He's been touring for a while, but focusing a lot of his efforts on getting his voice back and creating his own work again.

Customer Reviews
Amazing Pod!
Huge fan of the pod!
So much valuable information
🔥
Super Helpful info about freelancing
Love listening to this podcast - lots of tangible tips for actually breaking into the freelance photography world that no one tells you about. Like some other commenters I agree it’s definitely a bit bro-y / cringey sometimes and would love to see more female guests on the pod!
