My guest for this episode was Chris Rogers, who was a big inspiration to me early on in my own content creation journey and who continues to inspire me to this day.
Chris is a travel and action sports filmmaker, a YouTube and social media sensation who has also co-founded several businesses and who is definitely one of the most talented people on the planet with any action camera content.
We discussed how to go about creating action and adventure content, branding as a social media content creator as well as the potential future of online content.
