What can we say, to have a successful business you need to represent yourself in the best way, and the best way to do that is to have your portfolio on Squarespace dot com.... okay seriously this isnt an ad read, you do need a portfolio. In todays episode we will walk you through what you need, how to market it, and how to advance to the next stages of your creative career.

Every creative has heard the saying "Gear Doesn't Matter" and to an extent that is true. This week we are breaking down our newest gear purchases and why gear most certainly DOES matter.

This week the guys get together and chat about their creative process. What does it look like to start a project, and how to efficiently and effectively finish the project. 

The guys are back at it again, this time, live and all together in not so sunny Los Angeles. This episode is short, sweet, and lets you in on some of the VERY important things that have happened recently. This is one you dont want to miss!

The guys regroup after a well needed 4th of July break and chat about their craziest photo experiences. Take a seat, grab a hard drink, and get ready to get... exposed.

The boys catch up, talk photo shoots, new cameras, and just shoot the $h*t. Nothing specific, nothing educational, no guests, just good ol' fashion fun conversations.

This week's episode dives deep into where Aaron, Brady, and Chris, developed their creative styles, and how other creatives can develop their own style and niche.

This week the guys are running down their best freelance tips, learned from cumulative years of trial and error. If you want to take your creative business from broke to boss, you have to check this one out! In the episode we cover these topics:

-Contract writing
-Learning when to say "no"
-The right way to discount
-Networking
-Investing in your team
-Building business from the inside
-Developing your niche
-How to start
-Becoming a problem solver

The guys get together to talk about WWDC, all that was announced, and what it means for creators. The barrier to entry gets lowered with every new major product release, this time... its a really good one.
