LLC016This is the point in the podcast where I question whether it's useful to you or not. Should it be killed off?Also head's up, it sounds WAY different than it usually does.

LLC016 with Cameron WhitmanThis is the second of a two part conversation I had with Cameron Whitman, so if you'd like to hear the first part, go back two episodes and you'll find it there.One building block for success that Cameron emphasizes is finding ways to build multiple streams of income with your creative skill.We're jumping straight into the story of how Cameron and his wife started their food blog Our Salty Kitchen (hint: blogging isn't easy), how his stock photography lands him client jobs, and how he can turn client jobs into stock photos, again, building multiple streams of income.We also talk about times where he's gone down in the dumps with his creativity, and his advice for you on getting out of that kind of dark place.And in honor of his podcast Cameras or Whatever, we also do picks of the week!---Support the podcast on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/livelifecreativepodcast---Cameron's links:Website: https://oursaltykitchen.com/Website: http://www.cameronwhitman.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/camrockerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kammerun/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/camalog/Photo credit for episode artwork: Margaret https://www.instagram.com/m_five/ Show links:Show notes: http://livelifecreativepodcast.xyz/episodesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/livelifecreativepodcast/

Building for Success with Cameron Whitman

LLC015This is an episode that maybe I should have created closer to the beginning of the podcast, to really lay out the core values of what the show is about, so that anybody new to Live Life Creative would understand what it means and how it’s going to help them.But I think I needed a little bit of time to figure out exactly what it is for myself first. I dived into creating this podcast head first, and I didn’t have all the answers then. For that matter, I still haven’t figured out all the answers, I just have a little clearer idea of what some of them are now.I know my ideas aren’t going to get better without help from you and other people listening. So, if you hear something you think is nuts or way off base, the show needs your feedback to refine these core values.Send me a DM on Instagram, @livelifecreativepodcast, or the contact form on the website, livelifecreativepodcast.xyz.----------------------------------------------------------------Become a Co-Creator on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/livelifecreativepodcast WEB: http://livelifecreativepodcast.xyz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livelifecreativepodcastFind the show notes for this episode at http://livelifecreativepodcast.xyz/episodesYou can help the podcast by leaving a rating and review on the podcast app you're using right now, it's much appreciated!

LLC014 with photographer Cameron WhitmanCameron Whitman is a photographer specializing in food, stock, and event photography. If you’ve ever dismissed stock photography as being hokey and dumb, well, you’re mostly right.But Cameron has a unique and artistic perspective on what stock photography can be. You’ll learn a lot on how something you may think is extremely dull has so much creative potential. So learn not to pre-judge and instead find beauty in everything.Talking with Cameron really shifted my own perspective on looking at the world and the potential of stock photography. An idea he’s talked about in the Cameras or Whatever podcast is that there needs to be stock photography of everything. That includes the joys and tears of life, and that needs to be captured so carefully and beautifully, a big challenge creatively if you’re looking for oneIf you’re into photography, I’d highly recommend the Cameras or Whatever podcast, it’s one of my favorites.Follow me and the podcast on Instagram @livelifecreativepodcastOr search "Live Life Creative Podcast" on Facebook as well.Cameron's links:Website: cameronwhitman.comInstagram: @kammerun and @camalog (film shots only)Twitter: @camrockerAs a note, Cameron's opinions are his own, and do not reflect the feelings or perspectives of Stocksy United.Remember to rate and review the podcast on whatever podcast app you're using!And tell a creative friend that they need to listen to it as well.

Finding Inspiration for Your Creativity: Devin Robinson, Part Two

LLC009Devin: “I shot a wedding once where the bride hated her hair so bad that she literally had scissors in her hand, was about to cut her hair before her ceremony, and I had to in there and talk this girl off a ledge because I want them to know it’s not nearly as bad as you think it is.” I’m talking to Devin Robinson of Anchor & Veil Photography from Charlotte, North Carolina, he and his wife have an awesome wedding photography business. I found him through another interview on the Photography Together podcast, I started listening to Devin’s Anchored Business podcast, and following his just really amazing images on Instagram, I love what he does.Devin really delivers the goods on this interview, we talk about how you can rise above the competition by being unique, the most important principle you NEED to have in your business, and this super crazy bug problem shows up right in the middle of the interview, it’s insane to listen to.We talked for so long that I split our interview into two parts, so part 1 is right now and part 2 will release in the next interview episode, episode 11.Before we jump into that, you can connect with me personally on Instagram, follow @livelifecreativepodcast, or find Live Life Creative Podcast on Facebook as well.I also wanted to share some good news with you, we just hit 600 total downloads from all the episodes!

When I launched the podcast, I knew he'd have a well-thought-out perspective on creativity and crushing the block that stands in your way.Isaac is a podcast host and producer on two shows by Real FM, "Real Talk" and "Weekend Ketchup". He's an incredibly encouraging and uplifting person to talk to, and had some great things to say about working in groups creatively to achieve goals, what it's like to work in modern radio and the new relationship between services like Spotify and Apple Music and curated music experiences like Real FM.Find the links to everything we discuss here: http://livelifecreativepodcast.xyz/2018/11/12/llc007-take-a-break-then-hustle-again-with-isaac-weaver--------------------------------------If you enjoyed this show, click here to rate and review it on iTunes!
