What happens when you lose your passion for the work you're doing?

What happens when you lose your passion for the work you're doing?

We've all been there. The side hustle that turned into a moneymaker, which turned into a job, which then made you question whether you love it as much once it's your job. If you haven't already been there or had those thoughts, at some point, you might. This is a normal feeling that we all deal with from time to time. How do you handle it? What steps should you take to ensure that you stay passionate? I sat down with Kevin Kolbe to chat about what was on our minds.

Can Amazon dethrone YouTube?

Can Amazon dethrone YouTube?

Happy New Year. It’s 2021, and I’m fired up and ready for an exciting year ahead. I started thinking about something lately. If Amazon decided they wanted to make a serious run at dethroning YouTube, I think they could actually have a chance. In today's episode, I have an awesome conversation with Kevin Kolbe. Kevin is a video coach, YouTuber, and all-around good guy. We dive into a variety of topics. Work-life balance, 2020 lessons, 2021 goals, and just about everything in between.

The Story Matters Most - Wedding filmmaking conversation with Outside In Studio

The Story Matters Most - Wedding filmmaking conversation with Outside In Studio

As wedding filmmakers, it's our job to make a film that helps couples remember their important day. It's not about the gear, the drone shots, the frame rates, and the color. It's all about their story. Outside In Studio is a wedding filmmaking company based in Toronto and I think they tell the best stories of any filmmaker in the industry. I've always been impressed with their work and I was honored to have a conversation with Ricardo all about how they got to where they are. I hope you find this conversation valuable.
