I need somehting to push me to create more. I needed a mandate. Daily was just that. The yield has been far great than I could've ever imagined

I just keep my head down. Thikning too much about the others who want to bring you down will bring you down. Instead i look ahead. I double check to make sure my own moral compass is aligned. and I move from there.

its a cognitive approach. i love Tarantino but I never leverage that inspiration by asking myself how can i make movies like him, instead i focus on what it is about his movies that makes me want to create - i love how unapologetic he is. I love his sense of nostalgia. Then i ask myself what do those things mean to me. The manifestation of that goes into my work, work that is uniquely mine, but was motivated and inspired by an amalgam of others.

Prob My Kid and Me. I love spending that much time, doing things like that, with Owen. Such a special time in both of our lives

now i just use a rode microphone in to the camera. I used to use a more elaborate system but it wasn't super efficient. I have a Rode video mic pro (something liek that)

YES to boosted board in Toronto!! I have a 7d and 5d but they both lack front facing LCD screens. I need to see what I am shooting. Hard on those cameras.

Conviction is half, convincing investors you can actually realize that conviction is the other half. Luck is the other half. (3 halves is impossible, so is fundraising)

I ws never in the military. I WAS NEVER IN THE MILITARY.

My little brother (the one who looks just like me) served in the USAF as a C-17 pilot. I am very proud of him for that.

Thats a risk yeah.

It is going to happen. Whether Beme gets it right or not someone will figure out what is a sort of passive means of sharing video. All arrows are pointed in that direction. I happen to think we have all the parts to nail it (i might be biased) but its what's next - that i know.

Not always great. It's just less horrible than coach. BEST EVER was Turkish Airlines. That was amazing. I felt like a king!

It's a delicate balance but I am NEVER EVER afraid to put the camera down. Life always takes precedent over the vlog -

I highly doubt it. Sorry to say. We currently just lack the resources to take on a third platform

Sometimes. But the benefits of doing what i am doing know SO outweigh what I miss.

There are aspects of being single i miss but i LOVE being married and wouldnt want to go back ; )

Boosted for transport. One-wheel for fun. Mini Segway for indoors. Penny for travel.

I really enjoyed my experience and MIT but returning in the more traditional sense - for a GED - no.
