We explore how entrepreneurship within cooperative movements help to drive community ownership in the online economy. We're excited to be joined by Nathan Schneider, a professor of media studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, who we know from the early days of the platform coop movement, when he participated in the first ever Ouishare Fest in 2013. The very fact that Ouishare Fest brought Nathan together with Trebor Schultz for the first time is telling of what a powerful space that Ouishare Fest provides. And this year, Ouishare Fest is back, organised next week right at the outskirts of Paris - from 23 to 25 June. Check it out at http://ouisharefest2021.com/. Currently, Nathan Schnieder directs the Media Enterprise Design Lab, and he has written books on cooperative enterprise, the Occupy movement, God, and the Internet. He is truly fascinated by the chronicling of ideas, of perfect worlds, of ordinary imaginations in practice. With his experimental attitude, Nathan believes that every word is a hypothesis and a test. Tune in to this episode as we explore the cooperative movement and the different forms of community opportunities it provides. We also discuss ‘benevolent dictatorship', levels of community participation, multi-stakeholder structures, and what we mean by community.

An idea he’s talked about in the Cameras or Whatever podcast is that there needs to be stock photography of everything. That includes the joys and tears of life, and that needs to be captured so carefully and beautifully, a big challenge creatively if you’re looking for oneIf you’re into photography, I’d highly recommend the Cameras or Whatever podcast, it’s one of my favorites.Follow me and the podcast on Instagram @livelifecreativepodcastOr search "Live Life Creative Podcast" on Facebook as well.Cameron's links:Website: cameronwhitman.comInstagram: @kammerun and @camalog (film shots only)Twitter: @camrockerAs a note, Cameron's opinions are his own, and do not reflect the feelings or perspectives of Stocksy United.Remember to rate and review the podcast on whatever podcast app you're using!And tell a creative friend that they need to listen to it as well.

In this episode, we spoke with Nuno Silva, Vice President of Product at Stocksy United and Commercial Photographer. We caught up with Nuno at The Design Conference Brisbane earlier this year and talked about his background in graphic design and how he transitioned into photography, we spoke about Stocksy and how Stocksy saw an opportunity to lift the whole profession it’s set up very much in the artists' favour. We spoke about his time travelling in Australia before getting a bit personal and spoke about battling cancer and his unique way of dealing with it. www.nunosilva.ca www.stocksy.com
Something a little different this week...We chat with two of the co-founders of Stocksy United (www.stocksy.com) the image and video stock agency. Sam chats with Brianna Wettlaufer (CEO) and Nuno Silva (VP of Product) about the stock image/video industry, how it's changed over the years and some of the specifics behind their co-operative based stock agency - Stocksy United. This is hopefully a fascinating peek behind the curtain with two insiders of this business who discuss how trends and markets have changed, and what direction the stock business may be heading to in the future. If you've ever sold images or video through a stock agency, or have even considered getting into that business then this is an essential episode to listen to! Also this week Paul & Sam chat about the new Fuji GFX-50S, Paul has been hands on with one for the last few days testing it in all outdoor conditions. We also mention 'The Photography Show' which is coming up between March 18th-21st 2017 at the NEC and we look forward to bumping into some of you there. Thanks as ever to our great supporters Wex Photographic (www.wexphotographic.com). Make sure they're your first stop for any camera, video, lighting etc equipment with great prices and fast delivery.

And, when you get done listening to Alicja here go listen to her podcast Manual Focus, where she does short segments about the business of photography.

It makes you feel great on the inside. --- Lindsay I am a creative person and I want to continually pursue that. --- Lindsay I could be sitting on the couch watching reality TV and wasting all my time, or I could decide I was going to be the kind of person who was going to get up and do stuff. I want to be the kind of person who gets up and does stuff. --- Lindsay Being actively creative is the difference between creating and consuming. --- Lindsay What is that thing that makes your heart sing? --- Lindsay There is an ebb and a flow to it all the time. I’m not creating in every spare moment of my life. --- Lindsay The idea of showing up every day and doing the work is the kind of stuff that gives you a foundation so that when you need to take a break you can step out, and you don’t lose everything that you’ve accumulated. --- Lindsay What in my life can I celebrate through a photograph? --- Lindsay There are all sorts of beautiful things around us. We don’t necessarily take the time to pay attention to them. --- Lindsay Embrace the fact that life is extremely ordinary, but we can have these creative celebrations throughout all of that. --- Lindsay As creatives, everything you know is important for the next step you take. --- Abbigail “Essay” in French means “to try.” --- Lindsay Our collaboration has become such a deep friendship. - Lindsay It is amazing how much more intentional we are with our thoughts and words when we are sitting down with pen and paper. - Abbigail I was so beaten up by the word “fearless.” It was awesome, but exhausting. - Lindsay No words. No challenges. This is a time to pull back, not to push forward. - Lindsay “Only what matters”: that is my guiding force for the year. - Lindsay Maybe this is a Sabbath year for me. - Lindsay Without the Internet, does my life feel satisfying and full? --- Lindsay She was talking about showing up and doing the work before it was a thing on the internet. - Lindsay, on Madeleine L’Engle I first read Walking on Water in college and I think I’ve re-read it every year since then. - Ashley Listening to the seasons of your own life - Madeleine L’Engle would encourage that. - Abbigail
I share how I discovered Stocksy, what it is, how I was accepted, what I learned, and that I'm bad at ending an episode :P
