Ben Hagarty aka BenRealVsWorld is a creative director, photographer, videographer, editor, musician, podcaster and founder of Black With No Cream. Back in the fall of 2018, he wrapped On The Run 2 Tour with Beyonce & Jay-Z. Born in Waterloo & raised in Cedar Falls, Iowa, he was into creating from a young age. His neighbor introduced him to music and he would use his father’s camera to record his friends, family and concerts. Finishing high school he toured the country with his punk band in a 12 passenger van, most of the time sleeping in or under it. He attended Hawkeye Community College for 2 years before switching to the University of Northern Iowa where he majored in Communications with a focus on Electronic Media. After finishing college, messing around with a rap career, saving up 3 months worth of living expenses, he took the leap and moved to Los Angeles. His strategy, supply true value to anyone that gave him a shot and it worked. He co-edited Chris Brown's documentary, “Welcome to My Life”, directed EA Sports “Mean Guys” piece alongside Lil Dicky, Rob Gronkowski, Von Miller & Antonio Brown, toured the world with Schoolboy Q & even met Donald Glover at a bar. Turning down Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN Tour, he launched Black With No Cream, an active online community curated to help creatives of any type be better versions of themselves. In this Episode Ben discusses why we should ask the most important questions, learning through people’s stories & experiences, say yes until you can say no, take a chance & worry about the money later and why we should be willing to live uncomfortably. - If you enjoy this podcast, please leave us a 1 sentence review on the iTunes Podcast App with your honest feedback OR screenshot this Episode, post it to your Instagram Story tagging @BenRealVsWorld & @PurposeintheYouth!  - Connect with Ben!

BenRealVsWorld Content tells stories and everyone has a story and has the ability to tell a story. The means are there to learn. Find the best way that YOU can tell a story whatever medium that may be. If you're a content creator and this doesn't set you on fire to make something that matters than what the hell is wrong with you?! My buddy Ben Hagarty, aka BenRealVsWorld knows a thing or two about creating content. He’s been creating content on Youtube before it was big and now he’s in LA as a content creator for the likes of Schoolboy Q, Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige, EA Sports and Madden Football. I could keep that list going but you get the point, he's the real deal. Ben is a local legend in my stomping grounds of Cedar Falls, IA. He's a role model when it comes following your dream and taking a risk when you catch a glimpse of what you’re capable of creating. From creating music in his parent's basement to crashing on air mattresses that needed bubble gum to fill holes, the road to where he is today hasn’t been easy. It's been a slow and steady climb and I guarantee he'd have it no other way. Black With No Cream He’s the host of the Black With No Cream Podcast which is also a private Facebook Group Community for Content Creators which we cover more in this episode. He’s an insanely talented individual but most importantly, a humble down to earth dude who doesn’t forget he came from a little town in bum fuck Iowa. In this episode we talk about: Saying yes and figuring it out on the fly Getting a taste in order to take a leap Bringing value and being consistent Telling stories and creating an experience with content Taking initiative and being willing to do what others won't Shownotes Ben’s IG: @Benrealvsworld Ben’s Twitter: @Benrealvsworld Black With No Cream: IG  /  Podcast  /  Facebook Group Travis Llyod Someone Who's Killing it: @D33JaySlim Dose of Inspiration: @De2s Podcast theme music by Blookah Want to Support the Show?

"Your identity is not in what you do, therefore fail often, fail freely, learn and experiment. And take your successes in each of those failures because there is one." This is the kind of encouragement Alicja Colon (yes, like the fragrance) brings to the table. Not only is she an epic photographer / paper crafter extraordinaire, but I think her strongest traits come in prioritizing what’s most important to her in life like family, friends and guiding other creatives. Alicja works her magic in Savannah, GA and is also the Commerical Photographer at Focus Labs who build thoughtful identities and experiences to elevate and empower organizations. She brings timeless advice to this episode and this is the deepest conversation this podcast has delivered to date. We go in depth about: Staying on your creative path Discovering new passions and niches along the way The long road of losing your identity The danger of having success be defined by the work you create Practical steps for: Reclaiming your who (identity) Refocusing your do (what you create) Reframing what success looks like for yourself Key Takeaways She tried 50 thousand things and continued to find “her thing” as she got older by staying curious.   There is still a path available out there for you, so stick with it and you can uncover a gold mine of hidden talents. The path and jobs you’re currently working will teach you necessary skills and put you on the trajectory to where you’re supposed to be.  Reclaiming your who starts with defining your priorities in life. Once you know your "who" you can use that through a lens to focus your "do". Kill Your Darlings  (Stephen King) - Eliminate the things you love that don't align with the trajectory of where you want to go. Side projects are always a source of personal growth from a craft and endurance perspective.

Paying the Price to Get Paid How many times have you saw someone’s work and thought to yourself, “Man, I wish I could get paid to do something like that.” Did it cross your mind how could anyone know to hire you if you’re not exploring the type of work you want to be known for and better yet, get paid to do? This is your queue for starting a side project in 2017. Side projects as Lauren Hom likes to call them are your secret weapon for getting paid for the type of work you want to create. Let’s hit on it a little more on how side projects will help you attract the kind of work you want to get paid for by telling you a bit about good friend Ben Hagarty, aka BenRealVSWorld. The Long Road to Getting Paid By Your Dream Job My friend Ben Hagarty has been creating music and playing with cameras since late junior high. This obsession has elevated him to a level 53 Wizard at producing amazing video content around music. Basically, I’m just saying he is a pro but getting to where he’s at now all started with side projects. His passion for making music, especially hip-hop, resulted in some side projects with one being his group called Skool’d. This project led to them opening up for some of the biggest names in the industry like J.Cole, Big KRIT, and Timeflies just to name a few. His passion for video led to him always creating the content for the music they made. He made music video singles, weekly YouTube videos, promo and hype videos which allowed him to flex his video skills along the way. He learned early that consistency was key for building a reputation. Ben’s also big on quality. You could always find him studying other music videos, vlogs and countless tutorials on how he could improve upon what others were doing. Not everyone he worked with in his music projects shared the same vision as him so he created the side project identity of BenRealVsWorld that could house all of his personal projects. He started building relationships and networking with others in the industry trying to get his foot in the door to pursue his solo writing and rap career. Creating videos and his love for music opened the doors of opportunity. He got a gig shooting a SXSW festival and then got a chance to fly out to LA to shoot some behind the scenes footage for a Chris Brown project. From there he realized he needed to be in the middle of the action and took the risk of flying to LA to start his music career. To makes some money and build relationships, he fell into doing more work for Chris Brown which began building a name for himself for his video editing and content creation. This led to an opportunity to work with EA Sports for a Madden release which he got to work with Antonio Brown, Rob Gronkowski, Von Miller and the rapper Lil’ Dicky. Ben was hustling his ass off in LA making all of his Iowa family and friends proud. His hard work continued to pay off because the relationship he built from his SXSW gig landed him his biggest dream job / client yet. He was contacted by the TDE group to be Schoolboy Q’s main photographer and videographer on his worldwide Blank Face Tour. TDE is Top Dawg Entertainment which houses the talent of Q, Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock just to name a few. As the tour just wrapped up, it’s safe to say Ben killed it by catching praise from the likes of Macklemore and Tyler the Creator for his high-quality work. His vlog edits for Q dominated the huge hip-hop sites like WorldStarHipHop.com and he even did a Reddit AMA takeover recently. If a dude from a small town in Iowa can start a side project and get paid off the work he loves to do, why isn’t it possible for you? Paying the Price to Get Paid I believe in one rule for building a successful side project: You have to pay the price to get paid. For Ben, it started with finding something he was passionate about and was good at. From there, it took research, deliberate practice, perseverance and the ability to believe in yourself even when things didn’t always break your way. Pursuing a side project isn’t all fun and games, you have to pay to play. However, when you slowly build momentum and see a few wins, you start realizing that you’re onto something. Everything starts small and it grows by taking it one day at a time. I repeat you grow by taking it one day at a time. Turning your side project into a paid dream job isn’t a sprint—it is a marathon and it’s all about pacing yourself. Ben has been working on his craft well over 10 years. Nothing happened overnight. There were countless times he had to pull all-nighters to shoot, edit and meet deadlines. There were countless times of sleeping on floors, not making a lot of money and getting stressed out for him to finally get that first of many dream clients. These things don’t happen overnight as big rewards and wins need to be earned. People like Ben and all the other people you look up to in the creative industry understand that you get back what you put in. Attract the Work You Want to Get Paid For So what side project do you want to start? Do you want to be a successful hand lettering or visual artist with big clients? Do you want to run your own jewelry or clothing line? All of this starts with beginning a side project. Landing the dream job or the dream client happens by starting and sticking with it. Side projects are your opportunity to master a new skill or medium on your own terms with no one handing down an agenda to follow. Side projects allow you to attract the type of work you want to get paid to do. Side projects start with you. You have a fresh slate here in 2017 to get started, what’s holding you back? Next week’s episode we wrap up the series with the 3 ingredients for getting your side project exposure and attention. You don’t want to miss it! Key Takeaways Pursuing a side project isn’t all fun and games, you have to pay to play. Everything starts small and it grows by taking it one day at a time. Turning your side project into a paid dream job isn’t a sprint—it is a marathon and it’s all about pacing yourself. These things don’t happen overnight as big rewards and wins need to be earned. You have to pay the price in order to get paid. You get back what you put in.
