Roc Nation, do we have a special one for you today! On today's episode, we welcome the legend Shortstache. He's built an incredible personal brand over the years and is well known for the incredible colors and tones in his photos (if you know, you know). He recently finished his first short film, Along The Way, which will be out on YouTube later this year. We asked him about what went into making the film, what he learned from his first short film, and why he filmed it in Norway. He also shared the struggles he's been facing lately about feeling complacent, and not feeling as though he is doing enough meaningful work. This is our longest episode to date, and one of our personal favorites!You definitely need to cop some Lexar Memory cards: Lexar 128GB Professional 2000x UHS-II SD: https://bhpho.to/3ZzXaVGLexar 256GB Professional 1800x UHS-II SD: https://bhpho.to/458WOquLexar 320GB Professional CFexpress Type A Card GOLD: https://bhpho.to/48owD1TLexar Professional CFexpress Type A / SD USB 3.2 Gen 2 Reader: https://bhpho.to/46nmlx6Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/xgEAzkqAvsCOP THE BFIGGY "ESSENTIALS" SFX PACK HERE: https://courses.thecreatorcoach.com/BFIGGYSFXPACK If you liked this episode please send it to a friend and take a screenshot for your story!
