Greg Steele returns to the Out of Focus podcast so that we could check back in after our last episode together aged very poorly. In our last episode, we talked about the Grand Opening of Greg's law firm, which happened to be a week before the lockdowns began. Greg gives us a summary of the aftermath of the sudden shutdown of the country, and where he stands now (which is good by the way). We also discuss what our place is during a time of unrest, and how we are using social media during all this.  Go follow Greg on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gregsteelelaw/ Follow Will on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willmalone/ Go to willmalone.com to read the blog, buy some prints, or download photos for your website or social media! https://www.willmalone.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/willmalonedotcom/support

Great new episode for you this week! The incredibly talented Emily Boyd drops in via Zoom to talk about her artwork, the process, and daily discipline. We discuss social media and how to post around our particular process, in Emily’s case, her paintings take a lot of time and doesn’t necessarily fit the “feed the beast” social media posting strategy that we are often recommended to promote ourselves with. It’s episodes like this that are my favorite in the Out of Focus feed! PROCESS PROCESS PROCESS!!!!
