But today, as more and more teams are moving to hybrid or remote working, are they really necessary? Join host, Christine Dela Rosa and debaters Marshall Walker Lee and Shannon Winter and find out if your distributed team really needs to meet IRL. In this episode, you'll hear from team builder Anne Thornley-Brown on why setting goals for offsites is crucial, and Unsplash's CEO Mikael Cho shares the story of building his two companies at in-person offsites.

"What's happening in general on the internet is an evolution to visual storytelling. The image is more powerful than ever, but it's also much harder to be seen than ever due to saturation. What's happening is the exchange is in social capital - the exchange is in being seen." NFX partner James Currier sits down and chats with Mikael Cho (CEO & Co-founder) and Luke Chesser (Head of Product & Co-founder) about their Founder journey to creating Unsplash, solving the chicken and egg problem within their marketplace, the psychology of their users, and what the future of digital advertising will look like.

Mikael Cho, CEO of Unsplash shares his lessons learned from starting Unsplash as a side project and growing it to a market leader, and disrupting an industry of giants like Shutterstock, Getty, and Adobe Stock with a free business model.

In episode 31 UNP founder and curator Grant Scott is in his shed considering the recent discussions around stock photography and 'free' photography in respect to the recent Squarespace and Unsplash collaboration. He also follows on from last week's podcast with an update on using charcoal to teach photography! Plus this week Grant re-visits a recorded conversation with legendary photographer Mary Ellen Mark from 2012 on the publication of her book Prom. In this short edited clip Ellen Mark comments on the importance of simplicity in portrait of photography and for the image to be about the subject and not the photographer. If you would like to learn more about Unsplash and their business model I suggest watching this excellent filmed interview with Mikael Cho, the company's Co-Founder and CEO. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZevNRITnWU Mary Ellen Mark was an American photographer known for her photojournalism, documentary photography, portraiture, and advertising photography. She photographed people who were "away from mainstream society and toward its more interesting, often troubled fringes". Mark had 18 collections of her work published, most notably Streetwise and Ward 81. Her work was exhibited at galleries and museums worldwide and published in Life, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, New York Times, and Vanity Fair magazine. She was a member of Magnum Photos between 1977 and 1981 and received numerous accolades, including three Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards, three fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the 2014 Lifetime Achievement in Photography Award from the George Eastman House and the Outstanding Contribution Photography Award from the World Photography Organisation. She died in 2015.

We recently hosted a conversation between Mikael Cho, Co-Founder & CEO of Unsplash, and Elliot Susel, Faculty Member at Lean Startup Co., about how Unsplash put community at the center of their product. In Elliot and Mikael’s conversation, they discuss: - How starting with something small and high quality can lead to something much bigger. - How to encourage your community to participate in your product design. - Why it’s important to make “being useful” your first priority instead of making money. - The importance of trusting your intuition but also seeking feedback. - And much, much more... Co-Founder & CEO of the photo-sharing startup, Unsplash, Mikael Cho, spoke with Lean Startup Co. faculty member, Elliot Susel, about how a simple problem with photo access filled the needs of a community of photo lovers. The most successful startups often tap into an unfulfilled need that nobody has gotten around to filling. Unsplash did just that in the photography space. Mikael, who comes from the design industry, saw a problem that needed solving before he ever planned to start a company from the solution. When building the website for his design business, Crew, Mikael quickly realized that finding good photos that didn’t cost a lot of money was “a really crappy process.” He wanted a way to remove the licenses from photos so users could have access to high quality photos without paying a lot or jumping through hoops. The easiest solution was just to take them, themselves. They hired a photographer. Left with a bunch of unused photos after the shoot, Mikael wanted to use them to create a photo-finding experience that would be the opposite of his own bad one. “We made the ideal experience for someone who wanted to use photos, and we could use our own,” he said. With a $9 domain name for Unsplash and a Tumblr theme for $19, they threw up a simple website in three hours with one goal: to upload ten new photos every ten days for anyone who wanted to use them. From there they used public Dropbox links hooked up to a MailChimp newsletter and a Google Docs sign up form. Their website was so simple Mikael says they were actually embarrassed by it and didn’t plan to share it too widely. The only bit of advertising they did was to post a link to Unsplash on Hacker News, a site where they’d never had much success, so if it flopped, it would be no big deal. Instead, what followed, Mikael calls a “happy accident”: tens of thousands of people signed up on their Google Doc and began accessing the photos.

Today we're unpacking the mind of Mikael Cho, CEO of Unsplash - Offering beautiful, free images and photos that you can download and use for any project. 10 Unsplash photos are downloaded every second.

Projects fail. Side-projects fail even more. But every once in awhile, a project comes along that shatters expectations (and maybe even a Google Sheet in the process). Yet all too often, we’re left wondering why? Mikael Cho, the CEO and founder of Unsplash, knows the answers to this question. Unsplash was once a side project itself. In today’s episode, Mikael explains which signs to keep a sharp eye on when you’re exploring side projects, and how he transitioned his own into the company it is today.

From starting a company with his wife in the basement of his home to presenting his start-up company to a daunting crowd of Canadian angel investors, Mikael Cho of Crew and Unsplash, has been able to consciously push himself and the people around him to new levels of success. In this episode, Mikael and Anthony discuss the journey that Mikael's taken to find his professional path and how that path created his perspectives on growth, success and life as a whole. Mikael believes building trust into new business relationships and knowing that growth is organic and in his eyes, is the most successful way to be true to yourself, your client and your craft. Originating in design and development, Crew seeks to help freelancers and studios establish consistency and Companies in need of Creative talent find the best available to them . Holistically, Crew supports freelancers and studios in removing the troublesome aspects of business in order to focus on letting those people do what they do best, create.

Crew co-founder and CEO Mikael Cho talks about Unsplash.com, a photography side project that now boasts billions of photo views each month and salvaged a startup heading for bankruptcy. The project is so widely used today that a photo on the site gets viewed more times than a photo on the cover of TIME Magazine ... but it all started with a ridiculously small amount of time and an even smaller budget.   LINKS TO KNOW: unsplash.com Mikael's company: crew.co Mikael's Twitter: twitter.com/mikaelcho Jay's Twitter: twitter.com/jayacunzo Jay's Snapchat: snapchat.com/add/jayacunzo     TOPICS DISCUSSED: Side Projects Startups Photography Creativity Craft Intuition Art Technology Content Marketing

As the Co-Founder of the startups Crew and Unsplash, Mikael Cho makes it all sound so simple. Behind his relaxed demeanour, we discover the secret to Crew’s success (hint: it’s not all about crushing monthly targets), and how a heightened sense of awareness and drive, rather than serendipity, got him to where he is today. He explains why transparent communications and trust are so crucial in his industry, and how an attention to ‘detail’ in design could be better translated as an attention to ‘people’.

Welcome to the first episode of DN FM! Look forward to a new show every couple weeks. Through interviews, news and Office Hours community segments, DN FM aims to spark a meaningful conversation on design.

How do you get people to know you exist? Be unexpected. Justin talks about his new book (justinjackson.ca/jolt) and talks with Mikael Cho from Crew in Montreal. They're the awesome makers behind Unsplash.com

Grant and Vince talk with the awesome folks at Unsplash, the labor-of-love turned massively popular photo-sharing platform, Mikael Cho and Luke Chesser, about the interesting nature of side-projects, balancing them and knowing when they’ve earned their time in the sun.

Mikael Cho is tenacious. Listening to this story it will become very clear that tenacity is the intangible skill in the entrepreneurs arsenal. It isn't given. It isn't learned. You have it or you don't. The thing is, to be an entrepreneur you need it.   This is Mikael's third visit to UNTETHER.tv - the first two were centered around the previous incarnation of his current business called OOOMPH. He is now the CEO of its evolution into Crew, a marketplace for matching highly qualified mobile development skills with projects. I say evolution on purpose because as you consume this episode you will notice a few things of importance: How an idea forms around a team and how the thinking of an entrepreneur evolves into a leader.   This isn't just a story about switching businesses or pivoting, it is about fessing up to the questions all entrepreneurs face at one point in their lives: Is what I'm doing creating value? Tough question to ask but sometimes the answer is even tougher.   This is that story - Mikael's story.   Full show notes can be found here: http://untether.tv/2014/ep-517-the-tale-of-the-tenacious-entrepreneur-with-crew-co-founder-mikael-cho/
