Jared Platt - The Process of Improvement Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

Jared Platt has no interest in softening the edges around the fact that at some point, everybody is bad at something even when they think they are good; but he’s also more than willing to unpack what it takes to be great. And here’s the thing, Jared is one of my favorite people in the whole wide world to converse with. This conversation is from WPPI 2020 last February before the world became whatever it is right now. We talk about the process of improvement among some other very important things. Take a moment and listen as Jared shares his wisdom and experience. I think you’ll be very glad you did.

Jason Hsiao Turns the Tables Oct 05, 2020

Show notes

Every year at WPPI in Las Vegas, I have dinner with Jason Hsiao. This past year was maybe our 10th or 11th time. I’ve really lost count. I cannot say enough about how much I admire Jason. Yes, he is the one of the founders and president of Animoto…a successful tech company in New York City. But he’s a million things more than that. He’s a good man in every sense of those words.

I’ve wanted to interview him since day one of this show’s inception. But the night before, we had our annual WPPI dinner and he said that he had an idea. That idea turned out to be that he wanted to Turn the Tables and interview me. And so that’s just what we did. Thank you, Jason. You are one of the best friends I’ve ever had and one of the best men I’ve ever known.

Eric Floberg - What Makes You Different Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

I’m a terrible golfer. Always have been. And I’m sure I always will be. I don’t golf much anymore but there was a time in my life when I went about every other week or so. And it was all because of Tiger Woods. Tiger made the game appealing to me…even though I was terrible. I’d watch him win, many times in dramatic fashion, on Sunday, and then think about playing all week until I could hit the links the following Saturday morning.

Eric Floberg is a Photographer, Filmmaker, and Content Creator based out of Chicago, IL and he’s kind of like Tiger Woods to me. I’m not a great any of that, but he makes me want to create amazing films. I’ve dabbled with video, yes, but Eric’s work inspires me to…make stuff. I’ve had Eric on the show before and I fawned over his Tyler and Elle film. I’m still fawning. And if you haven’t check it out, please do so. But be ready. Eric is focusing much of his time on teaching now, so not only will you want to start filming and editing and creating amazing work yourself, you’ll have a direct way to learn from him via YouTube and his educational resources.

Show notes

Jason Vinson - Comfortable Being Uncomfortable Sep 07, 2020

Show notes

I think it’s an understatement to say that 2020 has been uncomfortable. For many, it’s been much more than that. I spoke with Jason Vinson about several things regarding photographing weddings, but one of the things he talked about was being comfortable in an uncomfortable situation (particularly when you’re shooting a wedding). Since I’ve had time to reflect on our conversation, I’ve likened it to how I’ve felt for much of this whole year. Jason suggests adopting the right mindset…one of confidence and of belonging. And I think it applies to much more than just shooting weddings. He also took some time during this crazy season to intentionally document his son for 50 days in a row. It’s definitely worth checking out on YouTube. Join us as we discuss stepping out of your comfort zone and staying in a good place no matter what’s going on.

Ryan Joseph - Victory Over Victimhood Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

“What else can be true?” Have you ever asked yourself that question? So many times we find ourselves caught up in and supporting various narratives and perspectives. But how often do we stop, take a minute, back up a bit, and ask, “What else can be true?” After a traumatic scare just before he turned 50, Tampa photographer Ryan Joseph found himself doing just that. He asked, “What else can be true?” and looked at himself and his life from a different perspective. And with a little help from his friends, he’s continuing to ask, and to grow, and to claim Victory over Victimhood.
