Two videos completely rocked my week. Want to get fired up about your gigs, or maybe just choose better gigs in the future? Watch them NOW.

This video of a talk by Jasmine Star is geared mostly toward photographers, but don’t let that stop you. All creatives can benefit from her advice on branding (hint: it’s YOU). The video’s not short, but I’m pretty sure it’ll make you rethink the way you do things. As she says in the video, “…You can rent a camera, and you can rent a lens, but you cannot rent your brand…”

I somehow missed this 15-minute talk by Gary Vaynerchuk. (I think it’s from 2008). If you’re at all doubting your ability to do work you enjoy or to create a legacy for future generations, Gary’s talk will knock that right out of you. Watch it now…

I’m making some changes to my business and shifting my priorities as a result of watching these videos, so you’ll see new stuff on the site in the coming weeks.
