Before being known as one of the greatest guitarists of modern times - John Clayton Mayer was just a kid from Connecticut who was obsessed with three things: Canadian Actor Michael J. Fox in his Iconic role as Marty McFly in the 80s sci-fi adventure romp Back To The Future. The Blues. And of course - the instrument that tied those other two obsessions together - The Guitar. And, by the way - I don’t use the word obsession lightly - According to John, this wasn’t your run-of-the-mill relationship with the instrument that many a teenage boy find themselves enamoured with - John was so single minded with becoming a guitar virtuoso his parents actually took him to be psychologically evaluated over his commitment to guitar playing - it was the only thing he ever wanted to do - like… ever. After high school, John Mayer had hoped to skip college completely to become a full time independent musician - but he was convinced by his parents to seek further education, and enrolled in the lauded Berklee College of Music at age 19. At Berklee, Mayer met eventual Zac Brown Band musician Clay Cook, who swiftly convinced him to… Drop out of Berklee after only two semesters. By 1999, John would package up his 9 best songs for his debut EP Inside Wants Out as a companion record to all of his touring - and by the year 2000 - with the help of a lawyer, he would sign with small label Aware Records, who would fund the original recording of an internet-only release of his debut record Room For Squares. Although it was originally a bit of a slow-burner, Room For Squares would spend 95 weeks on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart, eventually going platinum off of the successes of No Such Thing and Grammy-Award Winning Follow up single ‘Your Body is A Wonderland'. Just like Room For Squares before it, Mayer’s virtuosity in both guitar playing and songwriting got him over the line with discerning pop music fans; his followup, Heavier Things would debut at Number One on the Billboard 200 - and with the success of single 'Daughters', would beat Squares’ 95 week run with a 98 week sprint on the chart. But, after three big hits that launched him into the ‘sensitive songwriter guy’ stratosphere, John Mayer was ready to break the space-time Continuum. This is the story of John Mayer's Waiting on the World to Change, with newly unearthed audio from John Mayer himself.

Editorial and Commercial fashion/lifestyle photographer and educator Clay Cook joins the podcast from his studio in Louisville, KY to talk about how he went from years on the road as a guitar player in a popular hard rock band, to shooting fashion editorials and commercial campaigns across the country.  Although Clay was very influenced by movies at an early age and loved trying to create his own short films, at 16 years old he joined a band that would alter the trajectory of his life and send him out chasing the dream of stardom and touring the country for the next 10 years.  Music became everything to him during that time and his band put out an album that attracted the attention of some in the music business and became the foundation of so many of the stories he has from the earlier part of his life. During all those years of touring, Clay started doing graphic design work to supplement his income, which led him to finally picking up a camera in an attempt to create his own stock imagery for design purposes.  Before long he became more and more fascinated by figuring out photography and his band began to realize that it might be time to move on with their lives.  Clay began to put more of his focus on becoming a better shooter and finding clients and the rest is history.  During our conversion Clay talks about the personal project and book that helped launch his career, why he's chosen to keep his studio in a smaller market like Louisville, KY when he is shooting national work, what motivates him to keep creating, some of the positive and negative aspects of getting involved in the online education world of photography, and the advice he gives to others coming up.   To Learn More About Clay Cook Visit: https://www.claycookphoto.com And Follow Him on Instagram At: https://www.instagram.com/claycookphoto/ To Learn More About Visual Revolutionary Visit: http://www.visualrevolutionary.com And Follow on Instagram At: https://www.instagram.com/visualrevolutionary/

Constantly collaborating with fresh designers, national models, filmmakers and other photographers, Clay has built a reputable name as an award-winning internationally published photographer and filmmaker, specializing in editorial and advertising photography. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/claycook In this episode, Clay discusses: -How he got started with photography, transitioning from his music career. -The importance of having a good logo and good flyers for bands, as perception is reality. -His suggestion for any creative person who is looking to dabble in other creative fields as well as the field they are already pursuing. -How "playing around" or investigating other creative pursuits can really help to prevent burnout. -How the pre-production elements that come into play end up taking so much time away from the actual act of taking photographs. -The parties that he threw when he was just starting out, where he would shoot his friends on a cloth background. -How the impressive quality of images that he was able to capture with the DLSR got him excited to keep shooting. -When he started "going for it" with photography, he wasn't completely sure of the exact path he would be taking, only that he would find a way to be successful. -His advice to just keep shooting, because the more you shoot, the more you fail.  And we learn by failing. -The importance of stepping outside of your comfort zone, because if you are comfortable, you are most likely not growing. -How he used to immerse himself in YouTube videos and tutorials in order to learn everything he could about photography. -How to balance a job that you hate with your creative passion. -His unwavering desire to be his own boss and the sacrifices that came with making that decision a reality. Clay's Final Push will inspire you to be obsessed with your work and never give up.   Quotes: "Perception is reality in the music business." "The beauty in creativity is that it covers a whole wide umbrella of different topics." "For me, photography was just as fulfilling and rewarding as music was." "I think you have to stick to your passion, but dabbling in those other areas doesn't hurt at all.  And it will only improve your self-satisfaction." "I spend more time in a pre-production state than I do in a production state or a post-process production state." "I would throw parties just to shoot friends on a cloth background in my little office that was a 5x5 room.  It was almost a closet that I was sticking these people in and photographing them." "I didn't care who I shot or what I shot.  It was just so exciting for me." "The biggest piece of advice I can give to someone just starting out in photography is just to shoot.  Because the more you shoot, the more you're going to fail, and the more you fail, the more you're going to learn." "You have to really be obsessed with your craft." "I always want to be outside of my comfort zone." "I've seen a lot of photographers get worse over the years because of the fact that they never truly step outside their comfort zone."
