In this episode, Aaron and I are joined by Adam Ernster (@adamernster) , a marine wildlife photographer and videographer living in Santa Barbara, California.  Adam talks about how he met previous guest @slatermoorephotography and how they established a friendship, creative bond, and an entrepreneurial partnership . Once again, we talk about pressing the reset button with social media. We learn a lot about orca whales at the end of the show. Lastly, we revisit that work-life balance that can be very difficult to get right. We acknowledge how keeping yourself in check requires constant self awareness and the ability to ask yourself what you need.SUBMIT TO THE 500PX CONTEST FOR FREE!https://on.500px.com/qj9Special thanks to Henry's for being this episode's sponsor.
