For some reason I got this video in my head tonight, and really had no way to find it. I remembered it was on Vimeo, but didn’t know to search under staff picks or whatever.
What would I even search? Robber? Exercise bike?
Good thing I made a post about in 2018.
I know Gary Vee gets a lot of flack, but man, he’s inspiring people right where they’re at, so what else is there? I mean, look at that scene. Evening time, probably on his way to like 30 different things, took the time to encourage someone.
Sure, there’s a camera there. But man, he’s been doing this for YEARS, and I think it’s great.
This quote from Bobby Lee sums it up:
“Let’s talk about Theo’s podcast. What TV shows do better numbers than his podcast? Not many.”
Theo’s shows get lots of views on YouTube, and probably at a fraction of the cost of most big name TV shows. I mean, it doesn’t matter if that’s good or bad, it’s just the way it is. The gatekeepers used to be the TV networks, but now it’s the YouTube algorithm. Build an audience, though, and you’re good. Like Bobby Lee goes on to say, when asked to play a part in a TV show:
“Two days, $1,500 a day… agents and managers take 40%… with taxes I come away with a couple hundred bucks. I’ll just do my thing.”
This concept is easy to dismiss, to think that only people with millions of subscribers / views can do this.
Like everyone chasing 1,000 True Fans, try thinking of how to manage 100, or 10, or even one person who likes / shares / reaches out and say they like your work.
We all start somewhere.
Noah Kalina used another HUNTERTHEN track for his ambient videos. Stunning shots, ambient sound, and I just love hearing Noah in the woods with the sound of rain and thunder in the background.
Definitely go subscribe to his new ambient channel KALINA.
Felt like being a running influencer tonight. Why not? I’ve definitely got some work to do in the storyboard department, might help actually filming the end of the run, too, but hey, this is just the start of runfluencer career change. Enjoy!
My HUNTERTHEN track ‘More Immersive’ used in one of Noah Kalina’s new ambient videos. Here the full album below. Enjoy.
Nathan Pearce seems sweet and nice. This is quick glimpse of a fella doing live and making photographs. Making zines and hanging with friends. So sweet.
“Nathan Pearce (born 1986) is an artist based in Southern Illinois. Pearce works in book and zine making and photography. Pearce’s publications are held in several artists’ book and library collections including those at MoMA, The Met, Museum of Contemporary Photography, and the Center for Creative Photography.”

My HUNTERTHEN music made an appearance in the latest Hotline Show by Noah Kalina.
The track ‘More Immersive’ is from my 2003 release ‘Wizard Box.’
I didn’t even recognize it at first (Noah had asked permission, of course), but when I did it really threw me for a loop, to hear my music matched with Noah’s stunning visuals.
What a great clip. I can only imagine the sense of relief after a show is over. WHEW.
What if the waiting is the goal.
This reminds me a passage in “Why We Gather,” by Priya Parker.
The part about waiting in line to get into some big political rally. People standing in line for hours. Then sitting. All the waiting. All the downtime.
Not saying every minute needs to be optimized, but like the story above – the artist served food. Made it an event.
What slowed down, made-to-wait experience can you incorporate into your work?
