In keeping with this spirit to look beyond just the photography industry for insight and inspiration, please join me this Tuesday, August 16 at 11:00am Seattle time, as welcome #1 New York Times best-selling author Tim Ferriss (@tferriss) for another episode of chasejarvis LIVE.
Tim was Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Business People of 2007” and is on Forbes Magazine’s “Names You Need to Know in 2011″ list. His first book, The 4-Hour Workweek,
Who: You, Me, & a worldwide gathering of creative people
What: Q&A and LIVE photo lesson with NYT best-selling author Tim Ferriss
When: this Tuesday, August 16th at 11:00am Seattle time (2 pm NYC time or GMT -8)
Where: tune in to www.chasejarvis.com/live. It’s free and anyone can watch.
Among other things, we’ll specifically discuss:
_How to leave your worst clients and replace them with the coolest/most profitable ones
_How to outsource or eliminate all your least desirable tasks
_How to establish a better work/life balance
_How to attract book publishers
_How to trade a tired, long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent time off
_How these principles can guide so many other parts of your life (ala Tim’s second book)
AND…not only is Tim a genius entrepreneur & author, but he’s also a Guinness World Record holder, a National KickBoxing champion, and–you guessed it– he’s got the photography passion too. So after I squeeze outta him all the above info, plus get him to answer your questions via twitter (@chasejarvis, hastag #cjLIVE), and more, I’m going to give Tim a live photography lesson and then let HIM shoot MY portrait.
Tim’s never shot a real studio setup in his life, only a point and shoot camera, so I’m going to show him how to set up a full kit–seamless backdrop, studio lighting, pocket wizards, the camera and everything else–and then, he’s going to shoot MY portrait. Should be informative and…well…good for some laughs. So even if you’ve got all the business stuff locked in (which I doubt you do…) there’ll still be an informative photo segment with a few surprises.
***Lastly, for a little fun and to hype this show, we’ll be giving away a signed copy of each of Tim’s last two books, 4 Hour WorkWeek and 4 Hour Body, to the two people who send out the most interesting tweet that contains the URL (or short url) to THIS post AND hastag #cjLIVE, starting right now and ending at the beginning of the show on Tuesday. Enter as many times (tweets) as you want.
Lets see if he kicks it 🙂
Will this be available to watch at a later date?
Phil – we can’t guarantee that there will be a re-watch or, if there is, when it will air, since it’s always subject to our commercial schedule for my “real” job. Also, if we can do the re-watch, we don’t broadcast the photoshoot parts (some of the best content) because it’s too large a file to repost to youtube.
REALLY hope you can catch it LIVE.
I only managed to watch a small amount before getting wound up with my slow internet conection, please rebroadcast so i can let it buffer for a while first, sadly, as you say, it looks like imissed “the best content” hope all is well
Lol, I posted up your editing 101 page on his blog about 3 months ago and now you’re bff’s. The Internets never cease to amaze me. This should be a fun show.
Time for yet another reinvention – short cycle reincarnation. If I keep doing it, I’ll either hit the right one or end up in a psych hold somewhere! 😉
I’ll be there!
Thom
Ahh, too bad, I probably can’t watch because I’m going to Spain on that day, let’s pray there is wifi over there 🙂
This sounds excellent!
Boohoo, you’re off to Spain.
