The Enthusiasm Project

Send a text message to the show!Everything is amazing now: cameras, phones, sandwiches– it's all incredible. Unfortunately, that can also cause us to feel jaded about tools that used to help kindle our enthusiasm. It can get especially tricky for creators who find themselves receiving "free" gear from companies and feeling overwhelmed or burned out rather than excited. 🎙This week’s mic:Lewitt LCT 240 Prohttps://geni.us/4fww (Amazon)•Send a voice, text, or video message to be included in a future episode! tom@enthusiasmproject.com••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🎯Support the Show https://patreon.com/tombuck (access to video versions!)https://buymeacoffee.com/tombuck•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••📲 Connect!•All My Podcasts: https://himynameistom.com/podcasts•YouTube: www.youtube.com/tombuck•Twitter & IG: @sodarntom S5E18 | Series Episode 102Affiliate links mean I earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

Send a text message to the show!Remember when “Hustle Culture” became a big thing a few years ago? While it’s great to see that people have realized you need more than a few hours of sleep each night and not every hobby needs to be monetized, sometimes I wonder if we’ve gone too far in the other direction? Maybe there are times when it is important to push yourself a bit further. But how can you "hustle" while also making sure that you don’t go full on “rise and grind?”I also give some updates on the M1 Max MacBook Pro, my current mic setup, and DJI's continued lack of diversity in marketing campaigns. 🎙This week’s mic: Rode PodMichttps://geni.us/EHeTTM (Amazon)•Send a voice, text, or video message to be included in a future episode! tom@enthusiasmproject.com••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🎯Support the Show https://patreon.com/tombuck (access to video versions!)https://buymeacoffee.com/tombuck•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••📲 Connect!•All My Podcasts: https://himynameistom.com/podcasts•YouTube: www.youtube.com/tombuck•Twitter & IG: @sodarntom S5E17 | Series Episode 101Affiliate links mean I earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

Send a text message to the show!When should you call it quits on a creative endeavor? Sometimes it’s important to push yourself to accomplish great things, while other times it makes more sense to turn off the lights and  wrap things up. I guess you’ve got to “know when to hold ‘em, and know when to fold ‘em.”•This week's mic: Earthworks Icon Pro:https://bhpho.to/3vkZEYZ (B&H Affiliate Link)• Thank you to Kevin Ramirez for my new podcast artwork!

Send a text message to the show!This week's show is a less structured exploration of thoughts and issues, a lot of which center around what seems to be an emerging trend of Creator Ennui, which is very interesting to me as someone who recently broke through a few months of being in a creative funk. That paragraph sounds very fancy, I wrote it real good. Thank you to Steve & Tommy from Smarthome Riggs for sending over this custom PodMic pop filter! I love it.

Send a text message to the show!Last week we dove into the world of retro cameras, so this week let's talk about the new stuff! I have a lot of thoughts about where Canon and Sony are headed, and now that I've used both for a while I have some genuine issues/concerns with Canon's approach. The show also starts with a quick mic comparison! I'm using a "mystery mic" today, but I'm curious to see how you think it sounds and how it compares to other popular mics. 🎙Ready to start your own podcast?

Send a text message to the show!Over the past two months I've accumulated a number of interesting (and functioning!) "retro" camcorders, including the world's first camcorder with an interchangeable lens!This week I want to take you on a journey through time to uncover some of the awesome stories that these cameras have to tell.

Send a text message to the show!Last week I stumbled across a Reddit post that shed some light on a side of YouTube & content creation that's less than wholesome" people being paid to leverage their influence without disclosing the fact that they're being paid. It was a long post, so I want to break it down and dive in to see what this means for creators and viewers alike. 🎙Ready to start your own podcast?
