Episode #968 Ever have a song take you back to a moment in your life—instantly? That's not just nostalgia. It's your nervous system responding to sound. In this episode, I sit down with Levi Goins, the man we call the “ranch wizard” at TPM—but today, we're tapping into one of his true gifts: the healing power of personalized music. Levi's been quietly changing lives behind the scenes using custom music therapy tracks. We're talking about music that's actually designed to anchor you into the man you want to be—whether that's the calm leader walking through your front door or the powerful father fully present with his kids. We get into how sound affects your emotional state, how to create music that becomes a personal trigger for peace, presence, or energy—and why even guys with zero musical talent (like me) can do this. This isn't about learning an instrument. It's about creating something that sticks with you, wherever you go, and gets you back to your best. You don't need a playlist. You need a personal soundtrack.
Everyone makes mistakes, but in this episode, we're owning them and sharing the valuable lessons they brought us. From pouring too much energy into social media to regretfully underpricing creative work, skipping contracts, and being enticed by the exposure promises of predatory photography sharing platforms, we're breaking down what we got wrong in our photography journeys. We reflect on these missteps with personal stories, honest insights, and practical advice to help you avoid similar pitfalls. Whether you're navigating pricing, client agreements, or the balance between social media and creativity, this episode delivers key takeaways to propel your growth as a photographer or creative.Expect to Learn:How to not let time spent on socials overshadow honing your craftHow to avoid pricing yourself too low and feeling regretfulWhy you should always use clear contracts that outline everythingHow to avoid predatory apps and situations that promise exposureHow to align your energy with your long term photography goalsSponsor:Thanks to Tamron for being our lead sponsor this episode!

In this episode, we challenged ourselves to create an entire episode without mentioning photography, not even once! What seemed simple at first turned out to be a tough but rewarding experiment. The episode serves as an experiment and demonstration of how it's okay to take a pause from your duties, even when an audience has come to expect something specific from you. This rare break gave us the chance to check in on each other as friends, leading to off the cuff discussions about favorite books, Seth learning Norwegian, Aaron rediscovering his love for music, and much more. We talk about the art of play, toe yoga (yes you read that right), raising a Husky, and how stepping away from your passions can spark new inspiration.We'll return to photography-focused episodes next week, but for now, enjoy this refreshing detour. Got a topic for us? Drop a comment in Spotify, DM, or email, and remember to rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Expect to Learn:Why you should try to do one thing you did as a kid every single day.How stepping away from a primary focus can inspire fresh ideas.How to create and invite more joyful moments into your life.About tons of great books to help you navigate life's challenges and peak your curiosity.

Are photography contests worth your time? Can submitting your work really change your creative trajectory or confidence? Seth and Aaron sit down with photographer Neil Dankoff (@neildankoff), VIEWBUG CEO Ori Guttin, and Zach Hodges from VSCO to explore how photography contests go far beyond competing for prizes and likes, offering insight into your work, sharpening your skills, and pushing you to think outside the Instagram bubble.From judging nuances to personal stories of life-changing wins, the conversation dives deep into what makes a photo stand out in a sea of submissions. Along the way, the guests share behind-the-scenes tips on building a photography career, the value of branching out to specialized communities like VIEWBUG and VSCO, and how contests can motivate you to experiment, grow, and reconnect with why you started creating in the first place.Expect to Learn:Why the best photograph isn't always the most technically perfect one.How contests can inspire you to reevaluate your portfolio and take creative risks.Why rejection is necessary feedback and valuable to your growth.How platforms designed for photographers differ from mainstream social media.Why we often mistake the effort invested in capturing a photograph as a reflection of the image's quality or value.How to Enter the "My Best Frame" Photography Competition:(You do not have to do both, just one!)Visit the contest page on VIEWBUG: https://www.viewbug.com/contests/my-best-frame-photo-contestPost your work on VSCO with the hashtag #MyBestFrame.

Episode #951 When was the last time you got truly curious about your wife? Not just about what she's doing, but who she's becoming? In this episode, Doug Holt and TPM advisor Chris tackle a common challenge: emotional distance in marriage. Many men unknowingly stop seeing their wives as evolving individuals, leading to stagnation in communication and intimacy. We answer real questions from TPM listeners, including: How to give your wife space without triggering her fear of abandonment Simple ways to break through emotional walls and spark meaningful conversations The importance of reinforcing emotional safety (hint: you need to say it more than once) Easy, actionable strategies to keep curiosity alive in your marriage If your relationship feels a little off, this episode is for you. Tune in and start reconnecting today.
When faced with the question "If everything is meaningless, why bother?" how do we push forward as creatives and start or resume sharing our work again?Seth and Aaron explore what it means to create in a world that often feels saturated, overwhelming, and cosmically insignificant. They reflect on their own experiences of creative nihilism, the creeping sense that no creative act really matters in the grand scheme of things, and how they've worked to overcome the detachment that can stem from that feeling.What starts as a discussion about social media and the challenges of sharing work evolves into an exploration of purpose, authenticity, and how to reframe the act of creating. From letting go of perfectionism to finding joy in absurdity, Seth and Aaron remind us that the antidote to the despair of meaninglessness is to make your own meaning, however small or silly it may seem.Expect to Learn:- How meaninglessness can be an opportunity to create your own purpose.- How to get to a place where you don't feel like you're "ego sharing" your work- To combat nihilism by experimenting with absurd or whimsical ideas.- How to view "sharing your work" as the final stage in the creative process.- To reconnect with people when you're detached and struggling to relate.Sponsor:Thanks to WhiteWall for being our lead sponsor this episode!

Why does hard work sometimes fall short of delivering the results we expect? In this episode, we uncover the non-linear relationship between effort and success, challenging the idea that rewards are always proportional to the work we put in. Through self reflections, we discuss the frustration around fairness, the role of external validation, and the power of self-auditing to find your "fifth gear" without burning out. By asking tough questions about our motivations—why we create, what truly matters, and how to align effort with purpose—this conversation aims to inspire a more intentional, fulfilling approach to chasing your creative goals.Expect to learn:-Why success isn't always proportional to effort-How to spot diminishing returns in your work-The importance of peeling back the layers of your "why"-How external validation can derail your creative process and what to do instead-Why fairness is an illusion and how accepting this can help you focus on youSponsor:Thanks to Tamron for being our lead sponsor this episode!
