Hi Josh - I really like your podcasts (not least because of the Yellowstone vibes I get haha). At first, I was a bit annoyed about the length of each show because it can be hard for me to find room during my day, to spend 40-50 minutes on a single video. Now, I appreciate it because of the "deep dive" aspect. Yesterday, I noticed that DJI lifted the embargo on RS4 videos and within hours, literally hundreds of very similar "THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!" videos pop up, where the creators spend a few minutes pitching the product more or less in the same, shallow way. Too many creators seem to be chasing the same clicks in what has become a tiring, "too obvious commercial" way for me and have now become what RU-vid originally was a reaction against (oldschool media).

Thanks for the comment and for listening to the podcast. My episodes are definitely not short, but they are a relatively standard length for an audio podcast which is how I started the show. My goal has always been to be the opposite of the “THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING” RU-vidr and instead try to provide in-depth discussions on topics that aren’t as widely covered. I see my audience being targeted toward people who genuinely create video content for a living who want to learn more about specific topics, such as contracts or how to price your work. To me, these are the topics that aren’t as widely discussed, especially in detail. Hopefully people who follow the podcast can pick up advice on things they either haven’t figured out yet, or maybe haven’t thought of yet.

8:40 You could look at it that way ("15 years ago, there would have been a lot more people on set for this project") OR you can say "so because of that, it wouldn't have been made back then because of the expense but now, a ) they can have a 'one man army' do it PLUS the possible reach (ie. return on investment) is MUCH bigger now, SO TODAY, jobs like these has started to exist. There are MUCH more work out there today for people like you and me, than even 5 years ago. To me, that's a good thing.

I do agree that there are more jobs available today than ever thanks to the wider reach people can achieve without having to pay for something like a nationally televised ad. That’s a valid point. I do think that’s helped me get jobs I likely wouldn’t have gotten years ago. The flip side of that is it brings with it cheaper options for video creation which in turn brings prices down. I’ve seen guys with 3-4 years of experience and full video kits (cameras, lenses, supporting gear, lights, mics, etc.) offering their services for as little as $150/day. It’s hard as a professional to compete with that which is why I see the market getting a taste for unrealistic expectations.
