Welcome to Season 2 aka Episode 14. There will be plenty more interviews with travel influencers as well as stories from the road. In this episode I go way back to my early advetnures to recount the time I almost sank a yacht in the Florida Keys. If you've known me for a while, maybe you've heard this one before. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't. I also tried adding some SFX for this story so let me know if you liked them or thought they were a distraction. Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 13!  This podcast is all about nerding out with fellow creators on camera gear, travelling, and all that stuff we creatives are obsessed with. In this episode The NYC Couple takes over the mic.  This power couple also known as Mark and Amanda, have done some serious travelling.  I asked them to give me a quick run down of where they went on their last trip, but when they tallied up the list my jaw dropped.  This couple has some serious traveling experience and a lot of stories to go along with it.

Welcome to episode 11!  This podcast is all about nerding out with fellow creators on camera gear, travelling, and all that stuff we creatives are obsessed with. In this episode Andrew James takes over the mic.  Andrew first caught my attention with the quality of the tutorials he creates on YouTube.  On top of that he has a magnetic personality that keeps you coming back to watch.  What's crazy is how young he is.  I keep having to remind myself this is a kid just coming out of high school and he's already creating at high level.  What this guy will be coming out with 5, 10, 15 years from now is going to blow you away.  Definitely worth a listen even if it's just to hear the DSLR story.  Absolutely loved talking with Andrew.
