We made the 2:45 min trip down south to Reston Virginia to do a LIVE Mobile RAWtalk from the VideoBlocks HQ. Not only did we pack the house but I got to sit down with the founder and CEO of VideoBlocks Joel Holland. If you want to know how one person with an idea can go from living in his parents basement to selling a million DVD’s over the internet check out 33:14. Sitting down with Joel and hearing his story about turning down a six figure job out of college to try and turn and idea into a business was awe-inspiring. This interview should light a fire under everybody’s ass out there. If you want something go after it.

This weeks Episode is brought to you by VideoBlocks.com. As you can tell we were LIVE at their HQ and Joel gave a fantastic interview. I really don’t need to sell you on VideoBlocks, it sells itself once you give it a try. To try it out click here.

Photo News brings us stories from all around the photo world including the one I created #RespectPhotographers. I called out the LIVE Nation CEO for the companies practice of not paying house photographers and asking for all their rights. We cover that and much more during this weeks Photo News.

As we like to do with all Mobile RAWtalks we do a LIVE Flying Solo where I A’ed a bunch of Q’s. These are always fun because I never know what anyone will ask and I have to be on my toes. Finally we brought with us a min Wheel Of FRO to give it a spin and it landed on….. check out 1:48:42 of the show to see where it stopped.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to the mobile RAWtalk and to VideoBlocks for hosting the show. Joel, thank you for crushing the interview with some amazing and motivational stories.
