This week on the Colin and Samir podcast, Colin is back on the show and we’re just about a week away from releasing our latest movie with our friends at Yes Theory. Make sure to head to yestheory.com/documentary to get early access to the film - it comes out on August 11th and we’d love for all of you to check it out Another thing that is happening this week is that i’m turning 30. Colin and I love to talk about big milestones and i think that’s probably because we’ve gone through some pretty pivotal moments together over that past 7 years. Turning 30 feels like one of those big moments. On this episode we talk about my expectations and feelings going into the next decade of life and the concept of balancing time while trying to achieve creative and financial goals.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Colin and Samir Podcast, we’re joined by Yes Theory’s head editor, Thomas Dajer. We talk about the ups and downs of what it’s like to be a full time editor, and TD has been editing full time for 4 years now. In those 4 years, Yes Theory has built an audience of over 4 million subscribers and TD has edited videos that have gotten over 416M views on YouTube Alone, including a number of videos that have over 10M views.  Editing is one of the most important crafts in filmmaking, especially on youtube - it’s where the story comes together, and it’s what separates the good channels from the great ones. Some creators take on the edits themselves and some bring on others to help tell their stories - the bottom line is, without editing, films don’t get made. Editing is also where a lot of creators tend to burn out - long hours, not much sleep, creative roadblocks, software problems, the list goes on. Earlier this year we worked with TD on a documentary for Yes Theory’s channel called “Frozen Alive” and during that time we connected on our love hate relationship with the craft of editing and that’s a big part of what we explore on the show today.  We also cover ton of other topics such as personal fulfillment, time and relationship management as a creator and how it feels to be the guy behind the guys.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Colin and Samir Podcast we bring you behind the scenes on a conversation we’ve had for the past 3 years. When we left our stable jobs and starting chasing the dream of becoming filmmakers, we didn’t know what to expect, and to be honest, we never expected it to be as hard as it has proven to be. It’s not easy when you decide you want your own creativity becomes your source of income, and that’s what we explore today on the show.  We'd love to hear from you! Make sure to tweet at us and leave us a voice message on anchor, we'll include it in our next episode.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on the Colin and Samir Podcast we talk about how media, and specifically social media, plays into defining the identities we all connect with and aspire to be like. We talk about masculinity - which is an interesting topic, because most of our lives and careers have been connected to sports - and sports play a big role in defining masculinity. This has to be one of the most interesting conversations that Coin and I have had to date and i’m curious to hear your opinion once you get to the end of the episode. Our podcast is very conversational and we want to include you in the conversation - so drop us a voice message on anchor or a tweet on twitter at any point in this episode if you have an opinion or thought on the topic we are discussing.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Colin and Samir podcast we take a question from anchor that inspired the topic for the episode, self doubt.  Self doubt is something that we all deal with in some capacity but it is especially relevant for creators and artists. We deal with self doubt on a regular basis and we share some stories from our personal experience with the emotion.  We also give advice on how to deal with self doubt and give an update on our skydiving experience from last week.  Thanks to everyone who has reviewed the podcast and everyone who has left us a voice message on anchor, we seriously appreciate all the support.
