In this episode, we talk with Canadians Eric Paré (@ericparephoto) and Kim Henry (@kimhenry.dance), a creative duo known for blending art, movement, and technology in mesmerizing ways. Their work redefines photography as a performance, combining Eric’s mastery of light painting and innovative bullet time techniques with Kim’s expertise in contemporary dance and intentional movement. Together, they create stunning visual stories that push the boundaries of what’s possible, inspiring artists of all kinds to experiment, play, and bring their unique visions to life.

Expect to learn:

- The value of experimenting even when a formula is already providing success
- Why we should move our bodies deliberately and develop interoception
- How light painting merges photography and performance
- Why staying playful is key to long-term creative success.
- Interesting details about the work they do in their 400 camera 360 degree studio

In this episode, we chat with Ken Landry (@varsityoverland), an emerging creator who has successfully turned his passion for overlanding into compelling content on social media and YouTube. Ken’s success challenges the common misconception that you need huge numbers to collaborate with brands, proving the power of authenticity and quality storytelling over production value. We discuss how photography and videography became secondary tools to document his primary adventures. We talk about self-identifying or self-labelling ourselves as "professionals", "YouTubers", "Directors", etc. because no one is coming to dub you or officially approve of these titles. We also talk about how waiting for the perfect moment or obsessing over getting things absolutely perfect on the first try holds us back.

Expect to learn:

- why you should just start and avoid trying to get everything right on the first try
- why repetitions and immersion will always be more efficient than theorizing
- why you don't need a huge following to collaborate with brands
- why your primary passions should help shape the creative journey
- why you should self claim your titles (i.e no one is coming to brand you a "pro")

In this episode, we explore how creators can adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world by learning to integrate new technology instead of resisting it. We examine the natural fear of change, breaking down why it happens and how to tackle it with an open, curious mindset. By "swimming with the whales," we uncover the value of observing successful creators—not to imitate, but to learn from their strategies and insights. We also challenge the idea of overly identifying with fixed labels or roles, emphasizing how letting go can lead to greater creative freedom. Finally, we discuss how to distinguish fleeting hype from innovations with true long-term impact, equipping you with the clarity to move forward with purpose and intention.

Expect to learn:

-How to integrate new technology rather than fight it
-the reasons why we are naturally averse to change
-why you should "swim with the whales" and observe what big creators are doing
-how to destroy your attachment to your identity
-how to tell when something is "overhyped" or has actual long term value
