We discuss Christina's profound desire to transmorphicate into a fish person, we cover how this may upgrade our shooting capabilities, and why James had to make a vomit plan while floating in the water a half mile off shore.

We're back! After a long hiatus, we are making new episodes with fury and style! Here we chat about why making podcast episodes was a difficult process and how we are fixing that problem. We also talk about how to wrestle with the "rules" in art and how to build your own style while avoiding perfectionism.

We've been working out of Florida over these last couple of weeks to plan our first group expedition and we're learning a lot about how to stay healthy while on the road. If you're interested in the group expedition this link is for you: http://bit.ly/stay_intheloop

So many things can (and will) change over the course of these next 5 years but every now and then we like to throw a couple of fun goals in the air to see what sticks. This episode we do just that.

Creating ✨art ✨is GREAT but it's time to start thinking about the meaning behind what you're making. We ask ourselves this question every time we begin the process of making a new video: WHY SHOULD PEOPLE BE INTERESTED? This episode was inspired by our friend Jon Prosser's podcast, Creator Mindset. Give it a listen: https://apple.co/2InwzFy

In this episode we talk about our philosophy on camera gear. We dive in on when you should and shouldn't make the decision to upgrade lenses, cameras, and computers. (Travel Update Video - https://youtu.be/CUHrU5q8ijI)

This episode is Part 2 of Christina's trip to Taipei, Taiwan for Computex 2019. In this episode we focus on the importance of efficiency, the partnership between Intel and their sponsored creators, and breaking the normal daily routine in order to stay excited about the content you’re creating.

Last week Christina left for Taiwan to film Sara Dietschy's trip with Intel. In this episode we recap the week, Christina shares a few travel hacks, and her perspective after being surrounded by so many talented YouTube creators. In the next episode we dive deep around the topic of finding inspiration in the week.

Christina is on her way to Taipei to film some videos with Sara Dietschy so, instead of having an intellectual conversation about creativity, we decided to have a chill episode. Christina plays the cello, James quizzes her on Star Wars trivia, and we both share our dramas around the previous episode. ENJOY!

This week we sit down with our friend Katie Boué to talk about how she uses social media to spread her message about the outdoors. She has recently been featured on NPR regarding the topic of geo-tagging and has a unique way of making her following online feel comfortable enough to challenge their thought process around how they interact with the environment. She is an amazing human and if you're interested in what she is up to, give her a follow on Instagram and Twitter.

We’ve made some interesting decisions over the past year of full-time freelancing. In this episode, we share a few of our mistakes and most importantly what we’ve learned from them. We discuss how we’ve learned to take proper risks, diversify our income, and RESPECT OUR MONEY.

Lately, we've been thinking a lot about our "big picture" goals and the steps we need to focus on in order to achieve those. For James, he has been focusing on building his photography clientele by pitching brands he finds on Instagram sponsored posts. For Christina, she has been pouring time and thought into creative expeditions around the country.

The creative process is our favorite thing to talk about and this week we're taking a deep dive into two of our current favorite YouTube creators. Our first set of creators choose to live an extremely exciting, and unique lifestyle aboard a catamaran (super rad boat). The second creator we talk about has one of the best personalities across the internet. Check out their videos (linked below) Sailing La Vagabonde - https://www.youtube.com/sailinglavagabonde FrontPageTech - https://www.youtube.com/FrontPageTech

Christina is back in Salt Lake City after a 2 week solo-trip to South Florida to explore her creativity and visit with family. In this episode we unpack the value we both found in creating separately and how we'll be applying what we learned to our creative process together.

The conversation about "burning out" is something we talk about quite often. It's important to stay self aware, and keep each other accountable to keep away from burning out.

Every year we do our best to find a week where we can be separate from each other and explore our individual creativity. This helps us reset and execute the things we're excited about on a whole other level. Taking time apart also reminds us that we actually like each other which is pretty important as well.

In 2016 we made the decision to move across the country to pursue adventure and opportunities that weren't available to us in South Carolina. In this episode we talk what we learned during that time, how we balanced making that choice, and the benefits of taking life changing risks.

We're back from our trip to the desert and everything didn't go as peachy as the final video may have seemed. We talk about pushing through creative ruts and how we can structure our workflow to avoid issues in the future.

The Jurgys are some of our closest friends that we've met on the internet. Bryce, Nellie, and their baby Avalyn are currently living in an RV and hiding treasures for their followers in all 50 states. This week we spoke about their process balancing their relationship while they travel, what it's like living on the road, and what they're excited about looking forward for the 2nd leg of their 50 state road trip.

In this episode we chat about our trip to New York City in 2018. We went to film and help out with a couple creator events run by Sara Dietschy, John Hill, Chris Hall, and Brett Conti (to name a few). They're all wonderful humans and it was an honor to work along side of them. ENJOY.

We both had very interesting backgrounds in our schooling experience. James was homeschooled for the majority of his life and Christina went the traditional route until she got hit by a truck and dropped out. Fun times.

Welcome to our first podcast!
