In one of my most popular #cjRAW episodes, I talked about How I Learn. In the era where we're all a bunch of hyphens -- as in we've all gotta learn not one job but 3, 4, or 5... We're photographers, designers, entrepreneurs, marketers, and more -- all at the same time... How in the hell do we navigate it all? If it sometimes seems overwhelming, then this post if for you. In short - becoming a master...

You guys know, if I share something -- a product, a service, an idea, a CAMERA -- it's sure to be something I believe in. Hell, I've even been been paid lots of money to represent brands and gear before but I've only considered things I ACTUALLY USE AND BELIEVE IN. I've spent a decade or more building your trust - and that's too valuable for me to gamble with in an instant. This episode...

Problem: the freelance life can be amazing, but there are lots of overlooked pitfalls when you're working for yourself. In particular I'm interested in one problem that none of my freelance friends--nor anyone on the internet quite frankly-- is talking about...and that's movement and physical well being. In a recent #cjRAW, I addressed this head on and we talked about 3 ways to move your body throughout the day (it focused on standup desks, walking...

AWARENESS. Awareness is the secret to finding beauty. Recently Kate and I took a quick trip to a small island off the coast of Seattle called Vashon to visit two of our good friends Michael and Angel...I was vlogging the trip. While reviewing the footage, I noticed myself noticing / saying how "beautiful" this or that was, noticing small details in they way something looked or smelled ... like 50 times. In short, it started...

You guys have heard me talking about my early lifelong love of activity and sports like skateboarding, skiing, football, and even going to college on a soccer scholarship. Coming from an athletic background, I always considered myself pretty active. Yet, the truth is, once I started building my photography career in action sports I put my entire focus in that and the majority of my movement came from my work. Even though my career is...

"Busy" isn't success. Busy is a lack of priority. For a long time I thought the following about "busy" people: -they were important -they were cool -that had it so rough - poor them! They need sympathy! Then, after bailing on a career in soccer, dodging medical school and quitting half-way through getting a PhD in Philosophy - I went to work for myself. That's when being "busy" doing all that busy work ACTUALLY got...

We're into the new year and everyone's talking about resolutions and goals... lose weight, quit drinking, teach yourself some new skills. Yet something like 1 in 3 folks give up before the end of the first month. What gives? I'm cutting to the punchline on this one: 'Change' by itself sounds so big and ominous. But it's not. At its core, change is just making the 'right' decision toward the outcome you want enough time...
