Any time someone pursues something, there's a series of moments or a season of transition. From fear of failure, to inspiration and dedication, to momentum and pride. These can be constant or ever-changing and we can become overwhelmed, paralyzed even of the effort and the daunting journey ahead. 

But I believe you can do it! I am a testament to this as well as my buddy Natalie Franke, founder of Rising Tide Society, a network of creative entrepreneurs who believe in community over competition. 

After years as a successful wedding photographer, Natalie saw a gap that needed to be filled. This is the truest calling of an entrepreneur. 

In this episode, Natalie Franke opens up about her journey from wedding photographer, to Rising Tide Society and her latest adventure with HoneyBook and how she's handled all of those transitions. We both share tips on how to take on transitions and even talk about Rising Tide Society's "Tinder Moment".

What is virtual reality? Why is it so popular on YouTube, Facebook, and other sites?

New technologies can be hard to keep up with and know if we need to be aware of and implement them into our lives. Is VR something we should add or ignore?

In this episode of The Bearded Tog I talk with Griffin Harrington, a VR specialist for The Discovery Channel about the advances of VR in our culture, it's importance and how anyone can get started in VR. 

WARNING: We get pretty nerdy, be ready!

In this episode of The Bearded Tog I invite the creator and founder of Ugmonk, Jeff Sheldon onto the podcast to talk about his design and product company that he started with just one t-shirt, and now is his full-time job. 

I found Jeff Sheldon while I was working at Apple with designer friend Brian Hoff. Brian showed me Jeff's work and t-shirts and I was hooked!

Jeff and I also talk about what was the tipping point for him in his business, how his family deals with working, and how his email list and sharing his process has helped further his business!
