Guest: Andrew James Instagram: @andrewjmes Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm_rkVN3wpsKMzOtEpJb8RQ 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. - Intro 2:31 - Life Before YouTube 4:27 - The DSLR Story 8:22 - Making Money With A DSLR 12:56 - Transition Into Tutorials 16:00 - Who's The Next Big Creator 19:57 - Young Vlogger's Round Table 22:31 - AJ's Parent's Take On His Work 26:52 - AJ's Next Steps 32:41 - Planning Strategies 34:45 - AJ's Favorite Video 38: 40 - Taking About TF 41:24 - Getting Sponsors 45:05 - Gear Geek Talk 51:58 - Favorite Creators 59: 50 - Other Channels 1:05:30 - Future Work 1:08:12 Videos We Mention: AJ's Bottle Flip Challenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkJmXqXiArs Anyone Can Create: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knv6j-pWxB4 MOAB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHRiMQL7ZRE Links: Canon T7i: https://amzn.to/2MAn0Hy Do You Suffer From Travel Anxiety: https://travelfinn.com/snax_quiz/do-you-suffer-from-travel-anxiety/ Space Station Integrations: https://spacestation.com/ Sony a6500: https://amzn.to/2IpBAw4 Canon 1Dx mark II: https://amzn.to/2WnxlpP Sony A7sii: https://amzn.to/2MvKihA Canon 24-70mm: https://amzn.to/2IqdHVl Canon 50mm f/1.2: https://amzn.to/2Wn1PZd Canon 100mm Macro: https://amzn.to/2WVQROv Canon 24mm f/1.4: https://amzn.to/2Ixw2zU Fuji XT-3: https://amzn.to/2Ok8Kj9 Sony Rx0 ii: https://amzn.to/2K3J8aW Sony Rx100 V: https://amzn.to/2K3JbDE Editor's Keys Mic: https://amzn.to/2Wsc03r Rode Video Micro: https://amzn.to/2IxvXw6 Rode Video Mic Pro+: https://amzn.to/2IpZk35 Rode Wireless Lav: https://amzn.to/31l84R1 Tik Tok: tiktok.com GoPro Hero 7: https://amzn.to/2HdTenE AJ's Upcoming Iceland Tour: https://www.cuongtravels.com/tours At The Hop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTdNiDESArY Creators We Talked About: Matt Komo: https://www.youtube.com/user/MatthewKomorous Sam Kolder: https://www.youtube.com/user/koldstudios Casey Neistat: https://www.youtube.com/user/caseyneistat Peter McKinnon: https://www.youtube.com/user/petermckinnon24 Aidin Robbins: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcOTVI8YJJud1A6aRYrV4sg Shonduras: https://www.youtube.com/user/Shonduras The Way Away: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxn5zB_-HOiBGzdMSRiq_HA Fun For Louis: https://www.youtube.com/user/FunForLouis Sam Sheffer: https://www.youtube.com/user/sampsheffer Johnny FPV: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7O8KgJdsE_e9op3vG-p2dg Beautiful Destinations: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC08NS8fyPpkYgnhj69fMXLg Airblaster: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbGngqnm9weo7Dre1WFeX3A Mr Steele: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrSteeledavis Questions: Check out TravelFinn.com and let me know what you think.

Welcome to episode 10! In this episode I go deep into the story of my biggest Asia Day. An Asia Day for those who are not yet in the know, is a day where Asia wins. Asia is full of strange customs and cultures that as a westerner we are not accustomed to. This can lead to frustration and difficulty, but often there is no way of getting around it. Ultimately you have to admit Asia wins today and look forward to a better tomorrow. In this case, I was crossing the border between Laos and Vietnam, and took a literal beating as I navigated my motorbike through the Annamite mountain range. Questions: If you could do me a huge favor. A lot of you have told me how much you enjoy the podcast, but if you could leave a review on iTunes or wherever you found this, it would mean the world.

Guest: Eric Floberg YouTube Channel: Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/user/edflobe Instagram: @eric.floberg Welcome to episode 5! This podcast is all about nerding out with fellow creators on camera gear, travelling, and all that stuff we creators are obsessed with. In this podcast Eric Floberg takes over the mic. Eric is a Chicago native who has built a rather successful career in the wedding video industry. He made friends with the Mango Street crew and they have slowly been pushing him into doing more and more YouTube content. I really enjoyed this conversation with Eric. He has an outstanding level of emotional intelligence, and is a phenomenal story teller. Eric has built up a talent through years of photography work and it shows.
