What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified? How do we play games with other people where we're aware of what it would be for them to win and for us to win? What is it that you're challenged by? What is it that you want to share? What is it that you're afraid of? If there isn't a change, then why are we wasting our time? Can you define tension? What kind of haircut do you want? How long has it been since your last haircut? How might one think about intentionally creating that question? What factors should someone think about as they use questions to create tension? How was school today? What is the kind of interaction I'm hoping for over time? How do I ask a different sort of question that over time will be answered with how was school today? Were there any easy questions on your math homework? Did anything good happen at school today? What tension am I here to create? What wrong questions continue to be asked? What temperature is it outside? When the person you could have been meets the person you are becoming, is it going to be a cause for celebration or heartbreak? What are the questions we're going to ask each other? What was life like at the dinner table when you were growing up? What are we really trying to accomplish? How do you have this cogent two sentence explanation of what you do? How many clicks can we get per visit? What would happen if there was a webpage that was designed to get you to leave? What were the questions that were being asked by people in authority at Yahoo in 1999? How did the stock do today? Is anything broken? What can you do today that will make the stock go up tomorrow? What are risks worth taking? What are we doing that might not work but that supports our mission? What was the last thing you did that didn't work, and what did we learn from it? What have we done to so delight our core customers that they're telling other people? How has your international circle informed your life of questions? What do I believe that other people don't believe? What do I see that other people don't see? What do I take for granted that other people don't take for granted? What would blank do? What would Bob do? What would Jill do? What would Susan do? What happened to them? What system are they in that made them decide that that was the right thing to do? And then how do we change the system? How given the state of the world, do you manage to continue to care as much as you do? Do you walk to school or take your lunch? If you all can only care if things are going well, then what does that mean about caring? Should I have spent the last 50 years curled up in a ball? How do we go to the foundation and create community action?…

As many of you know, in 2019 I ventured to Albania to take a workshop from visual artist Elena Dorfman. Elena and I have been friends for many years but had never crossed paths, so to speak, in the field. She had been venturing to Albania since the country opened up in the early 1990s and I knew she would provide me an opportunity to learn and explore. The workshop, my first in nearly twenty years, was eye-opening as well as educational and was my first real field foray in many years. After the class, we began discussing the idea of working together on an upcoming workshop. Then came C19 and the world took a moment to pause. However, as we learn more about the virus and how to take precautions we are, once again, planning our Albania venture. In addition, she and I have pitched an online class to the Santa Fe Workshops. (Stay tuned for more information on this.) Elena has had a very interesting career. She and I have a similar background in linear, reportage style photography, but she has gone on to adapt and evolve in many ways I did not. From this, we can all learn a thing or two. This is one of the best interviews I've done in regard to learning about how this industry works, how someone can and should adapt and evolve, and how one person has overcome the demands of the industry to blaze a personal path of singular vision.

After a long break the world's most famous, in-demand podcast is back. The dozens of stranded listeners came unmoored as they desperately attempted to find a replacement podcast only to realize nothing came close to FWIW. Most alternative podcasts are run by those who leave the "About" tab empty. People who are compromised in one way or another would like you to know as little about them as possible. Adding or speaking about who they are might impact their analytics, serving as their primary guiding light. But this podcast host talks about what other hosts only talk about in private because he doesn't care about numbers, data, metrics, or analytics. He cares only about camera gear and film types.…

Hello, my darlings. Did you miss me? We have a full stack this week. Our hero and goat are secured. We dance from the Japan Workshop to the promise of the M3 iPad Pro. We swoon through guns at parades, SORA taking down entire industries, and the power of a rock back from 1970s Seattle. Don't miss the National Geographic photographer series, UFC results, the Canadian border, and more. If you are sensitive and easily triggered by math, science, truth, or even opinion, it is better if you stay away.…
It's been a while, but back by popular demand. For What It's Worth Podcast. For those of you new the cast, we start with who the program is for, our hero of the week and our goat of the week. After the niceties, we move forward with topics like the podcast revolution, my new Nikon Z8, grift on YouTube, my future online plans including the newsletter, and more. We round out with my upcoming schedule, rucking vs going to the gym, and my overall self-grade for my trip to Antarctica.…
It's been a while. But I'm back with a stellar yet random list of things to discuss. As always, we begin with who this is for followed by the hero and goat of the week. We hit war in the Middle East, travel to India, my Royal Enfield Himalayan, photography conformity, wokeism, and the complete failure of the Democratic party. Wait, there's more? Birding, workshops, my X100V impression, and more.…
Back to the sound of my voice. Welcome to the latest episode of For What It's Worth Podcast, the audio orgasm that nobody asked for. This week we talk Supreme Court lunacy, the Fuji x100V, sport and those who detest sport, the availability of "dumb" in American society, and my plans for future online endeavors. I also recap the first two months of my ongoing road trip, including flights. And much, much more.…
I know that many of you have led interesting, adventurous lives, so I know you will enjoy this interview with Monique Stauder. Monique is an old friend who inspires through her work and her lifestyle. There isn't a region in the world that Monique hasn't visited, and her projects and artistic undertakings are commendable. From journalism to fine art, from photographing female Tamil Tiger fighters to metalworking in Kinshasa, Monique has made the rounds and lived a life that many of us can only dream of.…
Welcome back to the "Conversation Series" with this week's guest photojournalist David Butow. David and I met several decades ago and I've followed his career ever since. Photojournalism is a semi-misunderstood field but still serves as one of the most critical functions of photography, at least in my opinion. Working as a photojournalist involves training, a vetting process, and a serious responsibility. I've always viewed David as one of the "good guys" in this industry. His skill and commitment behind the camera are revealed by both his coverage and his awards. David worked in locations like Afghanistan, Myanmar, Iraq, Peru, and others. He covered stories on post 9/11 New York, the Palestine/Israeli Intifada, the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the China earthquake in 2008, the funeral of Nelson Mandela, the Hong Kong protests of 2019, and spent the last five years covering politics in Washington. His list of awards includes World Press Photo, Pictures of the Year International, Photo District News, National Press Photographers Association, White House News Photographers' Association, Communication Arts, and more. David and I discuss his photographic origin story, his early training, his rise through the newspaper and magazine worlds, his work with US News and World Report Magazine, personal vs professional projects, the arrival and impact of the Internet and social media, and his incredible experience covering the events of January 6th, 2021. We also discuss his book "Brink," which details the entire arc of American politics from late 2015 to early 2021. As important as what we discussed is what we did not get to discuss due to time restraints. This is good news for all of you because it means there will be a second episode of my conversation with David. My goal with these talks is to introduce you to working photographers. Their life, their story, their training, their experience, and their understanding of what it means to dedicate your life to photography. In a world of influence, these are the folks that are actually rising at dawn to bake the bread. Photo: Roman Cho https://www.davidbutow.com/…
Once again, the world tilts on its axis as For What It's Worth Podcast comes alive. We hit who the podcast is for, the hero of the week, and the worst of the worst from the world at large. New camera kit, FIFA and the World Cup, the FTX scandal, and what it actually means to get involved. We also cover the status of my beloved Salsa Fargo Ti and how the money savings of using a bike vs a car have panned out. What else? The death of Twitter, COP27 and what is happening with my current bookmaking endeavors.…
How can you live without this podcast? A feisty week, but for the love of God, someone has to say these things. Let's talk Leica rerelease, NFL update, UFC 280, and the current crisis in the professional camera field where NOBODY makes one camera do all. How about the failure of our Supreme Court and how this might impact things like Americans paying taxes? Analog Albania, YouTube success, and the rebuilding of the best bike in the world.…
I wedged this one in just as Ron DeSantis was running for cover as the CAT4 beast that is Ian came to visit. One blowhard to another. Just as it should be. What a week. I feel like the kid in the dodgeball game who ends up alone against a full team on the other side winging those pain-inflicting red balls at his head. "Hey, can you kill this mouse, set up a satellite dish, teach an 87-year-old how to use Facetime, critique this PDF, write a quote, make this book, find this part, review these samples, drill this hole, and talk your mother off the ledge of running out of coffee." And that before 10 AM. Thank God I'm so intelligent. Who is this week's episode for? Anyone saying, "Me and my kids are riding this thing out." Then, when the reporter returns the next day the only thing left is a slab. THAT is my kind of adventurer. Who is our hero of the week? Our GOAT? Tune in and find out. This week we cover the departure of my drone, my experience with Starlink, Salsa Cycles coming through in a major way, my return to El Paso, and how much I miss Albania. In addition, we talk new laptops, horrible morning rituals, and the strange, fantastic world of letters, pens, and mysterious correspondence.…
Heroes and goats. Heroes and goats. Who is this for? Well, I'll tell you. We say goodbye to Roger Federer, discuss the snowflake outrage at having U2 songs embedded on your iPhone, and the new depths of the GOP. We talk hipster love of psychedelics, Casey's big move, and my distaste for concerts and Burning Man. Also on tap is the hypocrisy of the Drug War when combined with American sport and why pickleball should be banned forever. And for you camera geeks, I'll explain my time with the Fuji XH2s. And this, friends, is just the tip of the iceberg. Strap in and gear up.…
Sarah Leen is a mentor, editor, consultant, board member, advisory council member, director of photography, founder, and a very, very accomplished photographer. She is also a pioneer. First female winner of the College Photographer of the Year, sixteen assignments for National Geographic--including five covers--and titles of editor and director of photography at National Geographic where she was the first female to attain this position. You could say she owns a resume made of stone. Her insight into the life of a working pro, the amount of research done on stories and the beauty of the edit and sequence of photography books are all on tap.…
Lori Grinker has been a working photographer for over three decades. Long-from storytelling, photojournalism, collage, illustration, and installation provide the foundation for her process and career. Grinker has published several monographs and will soon release her book on Mike Tyson, a project that required nine years of principal photography. With numerous awards to her name, Grinker's work is in the collections of museums worldwide.…
For the love of crap people, we MUST begin by agreeing there IS such a thing as fact. Not yours or mine, just fact. Inert. Plain and simple. How about a softball? Are we on Earth? You and I? Unless you are in orbit the answer would be a resounding yes. Fact should be the baseline for all we do and yet we have found a way to muddy the factual water like idiots on the bow of the boat as it heads into a CAT 5 gale. But I digress. We have a lot to cover this week. I'll update you on my workshop situation, the books I'm reading and express to you the importance of knowing that we live in a country that loves nothing more than trucker movies. What camera will I stick with? Is the Uni-Jetstream the most complete pen ever manufactured? Why am I still wearing a mask and what will actually come from the raid of Mar-a-Lago? I finally found a YouTube photography channel I like and why moose meat is a hidden gem of the meat world. And more!…
