Great podcast for filmmakers

There really isn’t a lot of podcasts out there (if any) with the perspective of a modern business filmmaker versus a YouTuber, Movie Director, or film buff related podcast. So if you run a videography business, this is definitely a podcast to subscribe to.

Great content

Just started listening and have enjoyed the podcasts so far. Great to hear reviews about new gear being released and to learn from other videographers/filmmakers

A great Podcast to learn from

I've been listening to this podcast for a few months now. Ariel knows what he is talking about and does a great job interviewing guests. His positivity makes it easy to listen to. I always look forward to the next episode. It is both inspiring and thought provoking. Please keep up the great work!
