NARJ051: Ghost Juice

Standard

avatarWe’re still coming down from the excitement of last week’s podcasting anniversary, so we’ve got a lot to talk about. We spend most of this episode giving advice on giving a presentation at a tech conference. Our clothing advice might be suspect but the rest is pretty solid advice. Please send us some questions because we now have NO questions to answer!

Quotes

  • “People should be able to identify easily that the talk is now over.”
  • “What problem does this solution solve?”
  • “You’re going for a few impressed smirks.”
  • “Move on, have a back up. You’ll be fine.”

NARJ049: A Layer of Ickyness

Standard

avatarThis week we address some recent news that has come out about Ed Catmull and Pixar’s wage-fixing cartel and why you shouldn’t have heroes. Besides that we focus on answering questions about writing proposals – what you should and shouldn’t include and the dreaded pricing.

Quotes

  • “This is why you shouldn’t have heroes.”
  • “It’s coated in a layer of ickyness which is a bit of a bummer.”
  • “It’s less about ‘This will take X hours’ and more about ‘Here’s what I think this project is worth’.”

NARJ048: Joel’s Welling

Standard

avatarJoel doesn’t know what he does and Chris can’t use words. Despite these difficulties we managed to answer a question about photography on the web and talk about the success of Joel’s book crowdfunding.

Let us know your favorite summer cocktail recipes! Hopefully ones to keep us cool in the hot New York and Canadian summer.

Quotes

  • “Do apples grow on maple trees?”
  • “What I really want is just setting myself up and setting the book up to be a success in the long run.”
  • “You’re not here to be a blogger, you’re here to be a photographer. Might as well just have fun doing that.”
