068 - 10 Podcasts Filmmakers & YouTubers Should Listen To

In this episode I share why I am putting this podcast on hold to focus on creating more video content for YouTube. I talk about doubling down, simplifying, following what is working, and how video is the best format for most of what I want to share & create.

I also share my ten favorite episodes from the last sixty-eight.
