Recently, the photo team at CreativeLive asked me to weigh in on the new Hasselbad X1D camera.

Hasselblad cameras have always created gorgeous images but the camera body is delicate and bulky -- to the extent that you don’t feel like you can take them anywhere. This camera is for an image maker who really values the... read more ›

After recording an episode of cjLIVE with my pal Lewis Howes, the tables were turned when he took out his own cameras & audio gear to record me for his show, the School of Greatness. If you're a fan of my series #30DaysOfGenius, (www.creativelive.com/genius) I bet you'll love Lewis' podcast as well. Lewis believes greatness is cultivated within. To that end, his show seeks to find what makes others great and delivers insights we can all apply to our own lives.
