Episode 039: Live-streaming (A Different Kind of Networking)

In this episode, I'm joined by Nathan Patterson—a dear friend I met a few years back while filming a marriage proposal—coincidentally at his daughter's ballet recital. His background is in technology and telecommunications; but in recent years, he has started his own company that produces high-end, multi-camera, live-stream video content. Needless to say, he and I connect on many levels—hence why I've been so stoked to have him on the show!

In the Moment Series #004

As promised, here is the follow-up episode from Sonya's garden three months later!
The In The Moment series allows us to stray from our traditional format to bring you an intimate conversation that captures the essence of spontaneity. Sometimes, the most incredible discussions occur in brief moments that don't quite fill the duration of a full episode. But why should that stop us from sharing these captivating moments?
This is a collection of episodes where we embrace the beauty of unfiltered conversation. Much like our main show, the conversations in this series are completely off the cuff but offer a much more raw take on events happening almost in real-time.

Episode 038: Real Estate and Palpitate

I'm joined by my relatively new friend Christie Carroll—a real estate agent based in Northwest Georgia. Christie is yet again someone I met through my newly formed networking group, and she is clearly knowledgeable and passionate about her career and her relationships with her current—and even past—clients. Join us as we go on a nature walk throughout her property. We will be sharing pictures on our social channels!
As always, thanks for joining us! If you'd like to contact us, you can email us at contact@hindlightmedia.com.

Episode 037: Commissioner with a Kangaroo

I've got a super laid-back episode for you guys today! Joey Stevens—attorney at law and county commissioner elect in St. Clair County, Alabama—joins me on the show. The conversation ranges from larger-than-life fowl; a Ritz-cracker-loving kangaroo; and life as an attorney turned county commissioner.

Episode 036: A Dreamer Turned Hollywood Streamer

I'm stoked to be joined by a long-time friend Seth Ingram! Seth is a film producer, collegiate educator, writer, film-fest director, and the list goes on and on–with some of his work currently streaming on Apple TV, Paramount+, Amazon Prime, and Showtime. It's an honor to have him on the show to discuss all things film and TV—especially as it relates to the state of Georgia here in the United States.

Episode 035: The Man with the IT Factor

Today we're in the cozy and simple environment of my own home office. I have the privilege of chatting with Scott Dempsey—a seasoned information technology professional with more than two decades in the field! This is another conversation that could easily go on for hours; but with much restraint, we were able to keep it within our usual window of allotted time. We discuss the field of IT; the importance and ever-growing challenges involving internet security; how artificial intelligence is currently and will continue to heighten concern; and much more!
