Trapping Time

Chris Lo is a film maker who captures mesmerizing magic. He’s the camera guy in the pit, behind the DJ, and flying drones at your favorite concerts. Ben and Chris are both Time Trappers who have collaborated in the nightclub and on the golf course, so we had to record this relic. We talk about videography, leveraging A/V equipment, organizing mountains of media, and how to effectively collaborate with artists.

After another reading from the Roasted Reflections library, we hear a crazy story and jam on how full-time creatives can sequence paid gigs with portfolio-building efforts that maintain a runway to stay creative. Let’s get loud.

Goosebumps

Nic Roth is an author, illustrator, and full-time artist. He is also Ben’s younger brother, so have fun sharing EP60 with a sibling and laugh out loud as we explore what it takes to be a full-time creative. We also talk about book publishing, becoming a muralist, and attending art school, before hearing Bloop from the Roasted Reflections library.

After the break, we invite leaders to always create, while at the same time, welcoming mistakes to brew lasting progress. BEN BOT then helps us compare invested time, versus spending, passing, and wasting time. After a few quick thoughts on being brothers, Nic wraps up EP60 by recognizing that belief in one’s self is contagious, as well as, how opportunities to collaborate awaits all of us, every step of the way.
