Working from a cold Airstream - 22 degrees outside, 55 degrees inside Nov 12, 2018

Show notes

Yup, somebody forgot to set the heat to a warmer temperature last night. Brrrrrrr. So my work week is off to a chilly start! It's looking like a busy week here at the Airstream Chronicles. Work for clients in Southern AZ, work for clients in the Tri City area, and additional video recordings for my Udemy courses. As always, I prefer busy any time! •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

A Saturday Morning Podcast - You know, since I missed Friday! Nov 10, 2018

Show notes

Ah yes, the morning got away from me on Friday. It happens. Work first, podcasting second. Yesterday I spent the morning collecting data for a new 3D modeling project I'm doing. A few hours outside, some fun drone flight, and then a few errands. By the time I was ready to podcast the motivation faded away. So here I am on a Saturday morning explaining myself. :) Here's hoping whatever you're doing, and wherever you are, you're having a great Saturday morning! • My 3D Modeling test from Friday: https://bit.ly/2Der61x Online Classes •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Full Time RVers and YouTube - Making an income with social media? Nov 08, 2018

Show notes

Recently I watched a favorite full time RV couple's YouTube video about needing some help from their audience. They were looking for testimonials from viewers to share with potential advertisers. Bottom line? They're trying to earn their full time living with their YouTube channel about living in an RV. Nothing wrong with that. We've all got to earn a living. I wonder though how many viewers actually make buying decisions based on their favorite Full Time RVers. See, a lot of RV channel followers aren't RVers yet. They're dreaming about it, learning about it, and enjoying following along with other people. But they aren't actually in a position to buy RV related items because they're not in an RV. In my case, I'm monetizing this podcast and my YouTube channel by offering classes on things that reach a larger audience. And no, I'm not making a true living at it yet. But hard work, plugging away, and slowly growing are part of my strategy.

Podcasting from the Nissan Titan - Woah this podcast is late! Nov 08, 2018

Show notes

Audio Notice - Today's podcast was recorded while on the road with my iPhone and my Airpods. The audio isn't super polished today. My apologies. It was worth a try though! :) Ah, busy mornings. Laundry, battery charging, truck packing, and racing off for several hours at a client site. I had no time to do today's recording until I was driving back to the home office. And then I got wrapped up in image selection, video selection, and editing. Here I am at 7:30 p.m. and I'm finally uploading today's podcast. Better late.....you get the idea. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Tech Talk Tuesday - Oh Apple Nov 06, 2018

Show notes

Apple's recent event left me a little underwhelmed. The new iPad Pros, the new Mac Mini, and the updated Macbook Air. In the end my response could be summed up in one word. Meh. I've never considered myself a "power user," but I do a lot of things other Apple buyers don't do. I podcast, edit videos, created 3D drone maps, edit photos, and more. So I suppose from that perspective I'm more of a power user than most. And the recent updates to Apple's lineup just aren't crying out to me. Here's hoping by the time I have to replace my current computer Apple will get back on track and start really innovating once again.

Two days of missing podcasts? Here come the excuses...they're good ones! Nov 05, 2018

Show notes

Yes, last week I failed to pop up the Tech Talk Thursday podcast, and the random Friday podcast. Thursday's excuse is a simple one. The day got away from me. Friday's excuse. Medical stuff. And you can't fault me for medical stuff. It's a rule. :) So here I am on Monday morning catching you up on what's been up. In this episode I took the time to list off all of the foods that can vote me off of the island permanently. And I covered some of the foods that I'm "sensitive" to as well. Who knew there would be 2 groups of things. Sensitive vs Severely allergic to. The podcast will be updated every day this week, I promise. No more excuses, at least for the near term.

Over winter in your RV - The smart move? Head South! Oct 31, 2018

Show notes

Last year on my YouTube Chanel I talked about over winter in an RV, specifically my Airstream. I thought I'd follow up on that conversation today as I woke up to 33 degrees outside this morning. The Airstream floors were extra cold, and I woke right up the moment my feet touched the floor. The number one way to be comfortable in an RV for the winter? Head south! This is the time of year to visit Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, and all the hidden gems in Southern Arizona. It's not called a mobile home for nothing!

Tech Talk Tuesday - Why are professional photographers so expensive? It's all digital now, right? Oct 30, 2018

Show notes

This is a tech talk / work talk Tuesday episode. Over the years I've met many full time RV'ers who try to make a living doing photography while on the road. Often they realize (too late) that they're priced to low for the services they offer, and they end up looking for alternative revenue streams. I'm one of those people myself. I moved away from private portraits to commercial work, as I could request my actual value in commercial situations. So, why is professional photography still "so expensive" even with the advent of digital photography? We talk about that in today's episode. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

A busy start to the work week from the Airstream Oct 29, 2018

Show notes

This morning I've already uploaded images for print, started setting up a new YouTube Video, and added a few new email addresses for a customer in Southern AZ. And I've recorded and uploaded this podcast at 8 a.m. You really can work from your RV or other unique location! Today's episode is a short but interesting one. And later in the week, Wednesday, we'll be having a conversation with another full time RV'er who happens to live in Australia, so stay tuned for that one!

My Digital Telecomm Revolution Story Oct 26, 2018

Show notes

Today's episode is a story from days gone by. It's the story of how I went from being a Graduate student in Economics to being a network design engineer in the wireless telecommunications industry. It's a weird story, and I always felt like I was in a Dilbert Cartoon. This story leads to other stories and how I went from being an engineer to owning my own small business and living full time in the Airstream. Over the course of future podcasts we'll continue the story of the weird roads we go down in life. Have an awesome weekend everyone!
