Pat Flynn helped me co-invent and create SwitchPod over the past 15 months before we launched it on Kickstarter.
At the time of recording this episode, a couple days into the campaign, we had already doubled our goal and raised over $227,000 to make thousands of SwitchPods for our backers.

SwitchPod has launched on Kickstarter and I couldn’t be more excited! If you just can’t wait, head on over to our Kickstarter page to check it out.
Read MoreOn Tuesday, January 29th at 9am Pacific, SwitchPod is launching on Kickstarter.
Here is a behind the scenes look on what we’ve been up to this month to get ready for it.
Read MoreEvery year I make time between the craziness of holiday celebrations and spending time with family to do an annual review.
So for 2018’s review I’m going to use a more detailed framework, go further into the weeds than normal, and be both honest and transparent. This will be really long, so…
Let’s dive in.
Read MoreIn this review I share my experience testing the Canon EOS R for filming videos.
I give my thoughts on the 4K crop, the quality of the 720p slow motion files, using this camera for vlogging, how to turn it into a mini cinema C200, and pontificate about the future of Canon's mirrorless cameras.
Read MoreCanon’s first full frame mirrorless camera is a funky little thing, and if you’re considering buying it to use mainly for photography or hybrid with video and want to know the photo features, I’m going to go through what I like and don’t like about this camera, plus share who I think should buy it.
Read MoreMy wife Jen has been a wedding and portrait photographer for over 7 years, captured over 100 weddings, and she has exclusively used the Canon 5D Mark III.
So while I had the EOS R on loan from B&H to review, I had her try it out for a couple photo shoots and sat down with her to talk about what she thought of the camera.
Read MoreLens filters are a great way to get in-camera effects for both photographers and filmmakers.
In this video I share 7 camera hacks for making your images more cinematic.
Read MoreIn this video we take a look at the DJI Osmo Pocket, one of the smallest 3-axis stabilized handheld cameras ever with Dave Alitizer from Kinotika.
Read MoreSomething really bothers me about the internet, and it’s that word: influencer.
But once I thought about the word a little more, I realized I’d actually been an influence on how some people spent their money for years now.
In this post I share how influencers should act and as follower of anyone online, what you need to know about how things really work behind the scenes.
Read MoreI started my first blog way back in 2010 and published a post every day for the first 50 days.
I was stoked. I thought I knew what I was doing.
But I had one big problem.
Read MoreFour years ago I quit my dream job.
I had 7 weeks to figure out how I was going to make ends meet. I didn’t have a pile of money saved we could live off of. I had to make it work.
Here was my plan...
Read MoreToday I am opening up my Freelance Filmmaker Accelerator Program, a small, intimate, group of filmmakers who are serious about growing their businesses.
I’ll be providing a 3-month long, hand-crafted experience. You’ll have direct access to ask me questions and get customized advice on what you’re struggling with most to grow your business.
Read MoreOne of the most famous artists of all time, Michelangelo, lived a spartan lifestyle. When his family members wrote to him, asking him for money, he’d respond that he had none to give.
But was that really the truth?
Read MoreAs SwitchPod is getting closer to the launch of its crowdfunding campaign and being available for pre-sale, I wanted to share a little bit more behind the scenes of the process we’ve gone through over the past year to get it made.
In this video I show every prototype we’ve made so far.
Read MoreSince my previous video on why I sold the RED has gotten a really strong (and positive) response, I’m sharing more of my inner debate behind being both a creative and a business owner.
Plus, I tease my upcoming accelerator program I’m launching soon.
Read MoreIn this video I share why I sold my RED Scarlett-W after owning in for 18 months and how you should think about your next camera purchase or that one you "dream" of owning one day.
I wasn't expecting to sell it so fast, but I did.
If you're really wanting to upgrade some piece of gear you own, the message in this video is for you.
Read MoreOne lens I've never owned or needed to use is a super telephoto zoom.
So I borrowed the Sigma 150-600mm Sports lens directly from them to share 4 reasons why you'd choose to film or photograph using a 600mm super telephoto lens (and 4 reasons why you probably shouldn't use one).
