Simplistic Views Podcast

Chris Baca is part owner of Cat & Cloud Coffee in Santa Cruz, California, podcast host, and actively encourages others to pursue their passions.  In this podcast, I dive deep into Chris' life and ask a few questions that throw him off!

I first heard about Chris through a podcast called "The Ground Up Show" hosted by Matt D'avella.  In that podcast, they spoke about their passions and what they did to explore what they love.  Chris has a passion for coffee and community building, so naturally I gravitated toward his online content.  Through the years, I've been able to have constructive conversations with Chris about what I want to do with my time and through storytelling.

In this podcast, Anthony and I discuss how he first got his start in video production, his first client experience, and how he moved from Ames, Iowa to Knoxville Tenessee on a dime!

From pastor to visual storyteller, Courtney Ball has seen it all!  As the CEO of Flow Media in Cedar Rapids Iowa, Courtney has overseen some of the highest quality commercial video production shoots for brands all around Iowa.  In this podcast, we talk about how storytelling and story structure are extremely important when creating videos for brands, how he used to talk to random people on the street as a writing exercise, and Courtney gives us some new insights on his recent short film he's developing.

When I first spoke to Jordan Bergren, he gave me profound advice that resonates with me to this day.  The advice?  You'll have to listen to this episode to figure that one out!

In this podcast we speak about our travels to China together and how important it is for marketing creative and copy to have the customer in mind, too often marketers create messaging based upon their thoughts of what the customer wants when in reality they aren't putting themselves in the customer's head at all.
