Whenever I give a talk or host a show, I’ve heard from this community time and again that one of the most valuable things is the Q&A wrap up. Straight up. You asking questions and me doing my best to answer them. And not just the “how’d you get started in photography” questions…. we’re talking the hard questions, landing clients, hiring staff, working with challenging clients, legal questions, gear questions, portfolio questions, whatever you can muster…
As such, we’re dedicating and entire 90 minute chasejarvisLIVE show to this topic this Wednesday. We will take some questions LIVE via the #cjlive or #AskChase hashtag on Twitter (follow @chasejarvis here) during the broadcast, however, so that we can be organized and get through as many questions as possible, please frame your questions below in the comments. Don’t be shy. Ask away. Anything is fair game. Whatever it is you really want to know about with photography and video–your questions and the dirty truth.
Who: You, Me + a worldwide gathering of photographers and filmmakers
What: I’ll be answering any/all the questions you can throw at me in 90 minutes
When: this coming Wednesday, February 9th at 10:00am Seattle time (1pm NYC or GMT -8)
Where: just visit www.chasejarvis.com/LIVE
How to get your questions on the show: ASK THEM IN THE COMMENTS BELOW
I’ll bring your questions from the comments below onto the show and give you a shoutout for asking your question. You + me, mono y mono. And if I don’t know the answer, I might even make a cell phone call to get you the info you want. You get the point.
It’s free, it’s LIVE, and apologies but this video won’t be re-posted for a very very long time (if ever), so please tune in LIVE if you can. (We’re in a technical gear/podcast/youtube transition at the moment, figuring some stuff out.)
Ask your questions below in the comments. Hope to see you Wednesday. The more people participate in this event, the more interesting it will be for everyone involved, so feel free to invite your photo friends.
How does Chase Jarvis keeps his lenses scratch-free or “as new”?
Hi.
Business related Q
How much has having a business manager, production manager and other staff helped you in building your business now you don’t get distracted with logistics, accounting etc?
Did it accelarate your business or was the extra cost in having staff a hindrance in the beginning?

Thank you so much for taking the time to do these amazing live broadcasts! I have so many questions I could ask you, but here’s one nobody else has asked or come close to. Your current site is in Flash. With all the current debates between Apple and Adobe regarding Flash, do you plan on converting over to an HTML5 based site soon?
Thanks,
Taylor
Will you be hiring for a videographer/sound engineer in the next 5 years? Are you looking to expand your company? More staff? I am graduating in 2013 with a BA in Film and Music Production/Engineering, and would do anything it takes to work for you and your company. You are a huge inspiration.
Thank you,
Brian Town
