So we decided to chop it up about the best and most effective methods of giving feedback to other creators – as well as how all creators should internalize the feedback they receive.  I think this is a very important topic in the creator community because we all need people around us who will take the time and effort to help us get BETTER in our craft.  Let us know what you think in the comments!

In this week’s Morning Roast episode we dive into a topic raised in our private community by one of our BWNC members. The post said –“for any of you who feel like creating just to create won't help you succeed...just remember you NEVER know who will see your work once you share it, so just share it!” We thought this was so important. As a creator, you should always create for yourself FIRST and never hold yourself back because you’re not being paid, or for fear of lack of views or likes. You literally NEVER know who might see your work and it could open doors you never thought possible. The thing you create today for fun could be the thing that lands you the big gig tomorrow! So just create and always SHARE for the world to see.

Today, for episode 25, we have a very humbled guest - the founder of Hope For The Day & Sip of Hope… Jonny Boucher. Hope for the Day is a non profit organization that achieves proactive suicide prevention through outreach and mental health education. Hope for the Day has been up and running for several years, affecting lives all over the world and it all starts with a conversation. I dive in deep with Jonnny to discuss why he started this non profit, how they are able to be successful by taking a non traditional approach at the way they run and operate Hope for the Day such as being the only non profit to give speeches at Warped Tour, I believe he said this will be their 5th year in a row on Warped Tour… and so much more.   Jonny is even about to launch Sip of Hope with his friends Dark Matter Coffee, which is a coffee shop located in Chicago and 100% of the proceeds support proactive suicide prevention and mental health education. Very fucking cool. As a person who has been directly affected by suicide, I support Jonny’s mission and am happy people like him exist. If you want to get involved in any way or need someone to talk to - search Hope for the Day and talk to Jonny and his team. They are doing some amazing shit. http://www.HopeForTheDay.com Support our show: http://www.bwnc.com/podcast http://www.bwnc.com/join http://www.instagram.com/blackwithnocream http://www.shopbwnc.com Weekly Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hfi5Lv How To Charge a Client Guide: https://bit.ly/30WNSFn

Today we have my good friend and popular youtuber/creator, Josh Enobakhare aka Olufemii Tutorials on the podcast. Josh has a popular go to youtube channel that specializes in creating content for those who are interested in video production. Which makes a lot of sense because he literally quit being a full-time teacher in-order to pursue youtube full time. Teaching is in his blood and I fuck with that. Josh’s channel has over 138K+ subscribers which he rightfully deserves as he puts in SO MUCH work when creating his videos. His website LuxuryLeaks.com has grown into a one stop shop for tools such as sound packs, light leaks, project files to download and learn from… Josh has it all. And I have to add that the sound pack is sick, he teamed up with an engineer and custom made 100 sounds that you can use in your videos for like $60. I use it in a lot of the videos I make - I promise it won't disappoint and this is also a way that Josh is able to sustain an income while he creates. If you are a fan of Josh and want to learn about how he got to where he is today, this podcast episode is for you. If you are a fan of video production, this podcast episode is for you, if you are a fan of quitting your job to pursue something new… Then keep listening homie.

Markus is the Head of Influence for EA and is overseeing projects for almost every single EA game that they have. Markus is also a youtuber, who has been killing the game and testing new types of ways to create for youtube. Now to take this back, Markus and I met while both working at a car wash back in Cedar Falls, Iowa when I was in High School. He was the first person who actually sparked my hip hop career with my group Skoold and is one of those dudes who has given me years and years of mentorship which I am forever thankful for. Fast Forward to now, Markus actually introduced me to EA Games and allowed me to Direct my first true large budget branded video for Madden with Lil Dicky, Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Brown, and Von Miller. We’ve worked on several projects since then and are finding new ways to create and push the bar. In this podcast, we bounce all over the place to find out how Markus got this amazing position at EA. He shares some of the times he has hit rock bottom as a creator but was determined to find a way out. He started at a bottom level position at EA and managed to build great relationships, put in thousands of hours every year, and literally created his own position overseeing dozens of employees.

On today's episode, I am happy to bring my homie Travis Lloyd on to share his story. Travis is a mental health professional, public speaker, foster care expert, hip-hop artist, Author, and mentor. Travis grew up in and out of foster care, group homes, and was even institutionalized at one point. Growing up in and out of the system, he was often told that he would be dead or in jail before he was 18 and able to graduate High School. He had very little support to push and drive him to succeed in life, but - creatively, Travis created his own lane of success. Not only did Travis graduate high school, but he went on to graduate college with a bachelor in science. Through a series of events, Travis has made it his personal goal to empower young people, the adults in their lives, and the professionals who work with them to reach their full potential. He now travels all over the world speaking and even sharing his poetry and raps that he wrote as a coping mechanism when he was going through the struggle. There is a lot to learn here in this conversation, Travis and I go back several years and before I moved to LA, I would fly all over the country with him to shoot and create content at these events. I’m proud of this dude and believe he has A LOT to offer. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

On today’s episode, I sat down with an old friend of mine, Anthony Tripoli also known as Artripoli on Instagram. Tony, is known for his photography on many levels. He was a popular punk and hardcore photographer early on when living in Columbia, Missouri, he then took a chance and moved to Las Vegas where he became lead editorial photographer for Zappos, which is one of the largest online retail shops. Like they’re huge. They were bought Amazon for 1.2 billion dollars or some shit. That’s a big deal. After working and perfecting his craft there, he decided to walk away and move back to Columbia, MO where he began focusing on video and linked with rapper/singer/songwriter, Oliver Francis. Tony and Oliver came over to my house before their LA show and both hopped on the BWNC podcast. If you don’t know who Oliver Francis is, listen to last weeks episode to hear bout his explosive career on youtube that now has every label knocking at his door.

He has had millions and millions of plays on all of his songs and videos including his biggest record to date, titled Ain’t Shit Change featuring Chris Brown (which I actually edited the music video and shot the drone footage swag). But nothing has come easy for Cal and he’s still working day and night to achieve his goals. In this interview, we talk about how Cal grew up on a farm listening to rap, how in college he decided to give up being an Engineering major to focusing on music, how he was able to get the state of Ohio to fuck with him on a big level, and he even shares a story about one of the lowest points in his life when he had considered giving up on rap, but by chance was given the golden ticket which took him from rapping for fun in Ohio to landing in a studio session in LA with Chris Brown and Drake like wtf? Life can change in the blink of the eye and Cal is a clear example of that. I’m proud of Cal. We both moved to LA around the same time which is when we became friends and have been grinding since. I'm excited for you to hear all of this and more, on the BWNC podcast today.

My sixth guest on the Black With No Cream Podcast is JR Strickland! JR is one of the most talented VFX/Editor/Director's I know. His credits range from Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, Logic, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Spotify, and many more. When I had just moved to Los Angeles, JR was one of my first friends and we worked closely on several major projects together, so I am excited to finally share his story! We talk about how JR was using Premiere when he was SIX years old (shout out to his pops), how he was rejected in college of an opportunity to create a short film and spend a semester in LA which forced him to be self-taught while in Chicago. He then moved to LA to work with some of the biggest names in the music business and started his own VFX company. This story is super incredible.
