Comparison is Killing Your Photography

#582 In this episode of the podcast, I take a deep dive into how comparison can seriously derail your progress and enjoyment as a photographer. Inspired by my own experiences learning new skills—like learning to juggle and nurturing my lawn—I share how easy it is to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others, especially in the age of social media. I remind listeners that success in photography, or any art, isn't reserved for those who started young or have the best equipment—it's all about showing up, being consistent, and putting in the work over time.I discuss the myth of overnight success by highlighting stories of people like Morgan Freeman and Stan Lee, who found their big breaks later in life. I emphasize that wherever you are in your journey is exactly where you need to be, and it's totally normal to have doubts and setbacks. What matters most is your willingness to keep going and focus on your own growth, not what others appear to be achieving.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Perils of Comparison in Photography - Raymond explains how comparing one's progress or results to others—whether it's speed of learning (like juggling), gear, or social media metrics—can steal the joy from personal growth. He urges photographers to focus on their individual journey and celebrate each step forward.The Myth of Instant Success and the Power of Consistency - Using stories of well-known figures like Morgan Freeman and Stan Lee, Raymond underscores that it's not too late to start or improve at photography (or any art). He highlights the importance of steady effort, practice (“putting in the reps”), and embracing the “gray areas” of life and art.Setting Intentional Goals and Noticing the World - The episode shifts towards actionable advice—encouraging listeners to discover what draws them to photography, rather than chasing external validation. Raymond introduces a practical seven-day photo diary challenge, urging listeners to capture images that make them “pause and notice,” fostering mindfulness and personal vision.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSComparison Trap: The tendency to measure one's worth or progress against others, leading to dissatisfaction and doubt. Relevant throughout the episode as Raymond identifies it as a major hindrance to creative growth.Reps (Putting in the Reps): A term borrowed from training, here meaning to consistently practice taking photos. The more you shoot, the better you'll become—emphasizing process over perfection.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow has comparing your work to others affected your enjoyment of photography?What motivates you to pick up your camera—validation from others, or personal fulfillment?In what ways can you adopt more consistency in your photographic journey?Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

Vernon Davis: Chasing Greatness, Silencing Doubt, and Staying Driven

The journey from NFL superstar to Hollywood actor isn't one many can successfully navigate, but Vernon Davis makes it look effortless. This raw conversation with the Super Bowl champion reveals the mindset that's enabled him to excel across multiple fields. "When I understood how important it was to be selfless and do things for the sake of the team, then I became a better not just a better player, but a better person overall because that shifted over to life," Vernon shares early in our discussion. This philosophy has guided his remarkable transformation from elite tight end to accomplished actor with over 30 credits to his name. What separates Vernon from others attempting similar career pivots is his unwavering commitment to mastery. He describes sneaking away from football practice to attend acting classes at the same theater where Danny Glover trained. Now, five years into working with a dedicated acting coach twice weekly, he's seeing the results of that consistency: "If I'm where I'm at right now, imagine what I'm gonna be at in 10 years." This echoes his football approach, where he was famously the last player off the practice field for 14 straight seasons. Perhaps most valuable is Vernon's wisdom about evaluating opportunities. Rather than focusing on products or concepts, he examines the people involved: "People can make or break you. I don't look at the business or the product—I look at the people who I'm working with." This insight saved him countless headaches, as demonstrated by his grandmother's remarkable ability to spot a dishonest financial advisor who later stole $500,000 from him. Throughout our conversation, Vernon's legacy emerges clearly—a man determined to lead by example in everything he does. Whether catching game-winning touchdowns, starring alongside Morgan Freeman, or building businesses, he approaches each endeavor with the same dedication to excellence.

[Verse 1]  At first, we felt a chill, just a cough, a little sweat  Then came the news from overseas—it ain't over yet  From the jungle to the airwaves, it flew fast and flew unseen  One scratch from Betsy, now this town's a quarantine [Verse 2]  We wore our masks, we sealed our suits  Still the sirens howled, the threat was absolute  They said “Control the panic,” but we knew it wasn't true  When your generals are hiding truths, what's a virologist to do? [Chorus]  We won't die, not today  Though McClintock's bombs are coming, we still found another way  We tracked that monkey through the trees, we hit the skies, we found a cure  Now this town will stand, and science will endure [Verse 3]  Jimbo touched that monkey, which grayed out his anatomy   You can call him McDreamy, but his guts turned creamy   Made out with his girlfriend and his luck ran dry First on the slab, and the first to die  [Bridge]  And Robby held on strong, though her hands began to shake  Her life on the line, with every move she'd make  But with serum in the needle and a second left to spare  She took the cure and breathed again, fresh hope in the air [Chorus]  We won't die, no, not this time  Though fear spread fast and high command tried to cross the line  They said “nuke it from orbit,” we said “That's insane!”  So we flew between the bombs and saved the town from flame Cedar Creek still breathes…  And we—we won't die

In this episode of the Better Learning Podcast, we dive into the iconic 1989 film Lean on Me, starring Morgan Freeman as the unforgettable Principal Joe Clark—a tough, uncompromising, and deeply committed educator who is called in to rescue a failing inner-city school on the brink of state takeover. Set in Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey, the film dramatizes the true story of how Clark used controversial, often militant methods to confront violence, low academic performance, and deteriorating morale. But underneath the shouting, chain-wrapped doors, and expelled drug dealers lies a message about courage, leadership, and believing in students when no one else will. Joining host Kevin Stoller for this breakdown is Dr. Brian K O'Keeffe, who brings an educational leader's perspective to the real-world challenges reflected in the film. Together, they explore what Lean on Me gets right—and wrong—about education reform, school culture, and the role of school leaders today.     Takeaways: Lean on Me reminds us that strong leadership often requires making bold, unpopular decisions. Principal Joe Clark's extreme methods may have sparked controversy, but his unwavering commitment to student success lit a fire for change. Clark's toughest love came from a deep belief in his students' potential. This episode highlights how powerful it can be when educators see beyond circumstances and treat students as capable of excellence - sometimes before they believe it themselves. Before any academic improvements can happen, a school must rebuild its culture. The film shows how restoring order, setting expectations, and cultivating pride in the school community were the essential first steps. The same applies in today's schools—culture drives outcomes.     About Dr. Brian K O'Keeffe From finishes to space planning and furniture selection, Thea collaborates with project team members, consultants, district staff, and stakeholders to develop interior design solutions that enhance their school's design and align with the district's educational goals. Thea balances design expertise with end user advocacy to facilitate focus group sessions and synthesize feedback, creating spaces that reflect a learning community's unique identity.   Learn More About Dr. Brian K O'Keeffe: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-o-keeffe-ed-d-sfo-22348719/   Learn More About Community Unit School District 200: Website: https://www.cusd200.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/district200 Twitter: https://x.com/cusd200 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cusd200       Connect with host, Kevin Stoller: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinstoller/   Learn More About Kay-Twelve: Website: https://kay-twelve.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kay-twelve-com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kay_twelve/         Episode 236 of the Better Learning Podcast Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture.

Matthew spoke to us about growing up behind the scenes in Hollywood as the son of an icon of the film industry, Fred Specktor, a super-agent of A-list Hollywood talent who is still going strong at 92 years old. With a roster of clients that included everyone from Robert DeNiro, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Danny Devito and many, many more, Matthew was brought up in and around the film business and had a firsthand look. Part memoir, part biography, part cultural history & part fiction, The Golden Hour has been priases in outlets such as NPR, the New York Times, the Kirkus Review, the LA Times and many more for it's unique look into Hollywood and the battle between art vs. commerce and much more. As this is his third book based on his take on Hollywood, Matthew is getting name-checked alongside iconic LA based, Hollywood centric authors such as Joan Didion and William Goldman and getting praise from authors like Jonathan Lethem and Griffin Dunne. High praise indeed. We get into that as well as how Matthew formed the book and the basis of his exploration into his family and the city formed him, shortly. Matthew's behind-the-scenes stories of how Hollywood was created in the second half of the twentieth century at Tinseltown institutions like MCA, William Morris and CAA beginning in the 1950s and where we are today, 70 years later a a large part of this episode. But we also hear personal stories about pranks the pre-rat pack played on him and his best friend Renee Estevez (daughter of Martin Sheen) in high school, what LA restaurants his family ate on special occasions, the cars and vanity plates of super agents in the City of Angelss and the movie theaters and books that shaped his youth on the Westside of Los Angeles. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and if you've never had David Lynch tell you, you were more an artist than a deal maker at 13, take a listen because Matthew Specktor has. Everyone has a story.
