Just do it, y’all. I know as people we can let fear of criticism stop us in our tracks (anyone else raising their hand in the air?!) In this episode, Nick Bumgardner- crazy good photographer, professor, and co-founder of Reactor Media, a large-scale food and photography business- shares how his impetus to just go for it and take risks put him in a position to create amazing things and excel. He teaches us to actually ask for criticism and welcome the response and act on it. Whether it was finding a mentor, landing big clients from Saks to O'Charley's to Reba McEntire, or taking criticism and using it to become better, Nick blazed a trail with grit and background research. We can all learn from Nick- he became a photographer before the internet was a thing. Instead of going to prom, he bought a camera. He’s shot literally thousands of food photos. He always wanted to get better, and you feel that quiet confidence when you are around him. He teaches with excellence and consistency. Aannnd- Mic-drop moment when Nick said “Art (only) shines when it’s shared with people.”********Watch the FULL video episode in all it's glory on YouTube********Show notes!Michael Gomez Scott FineRaw beef on Nick’s siteReba McEntire cookbookReactor MediaVivian Maier 1950’s photographer Nossi College of Art and Design
