In this episode, we dive into the idea of overdelivering. When it’s powerful, when it’s unnecessary, and how to decide which projects genuinely deserve more of your time and energy.

We kick things off with Cameron sharing updates on his 3D journey, finishing his drone project and stepping into more intentional portfolio work. He also touches on something that feels universal across creative industries, the familiar noise around “no work,” slow periods, and frustration, and how that mindset shows up just as much in 3D as it does in photo and video.

Matt breaks down his recent trip to South Africa, including the realities of travelling for shoots, navigating safety concerns in Johannesburg, and working under intense conditions, high heat, high altitude, and fast-moving environments while photographing elite athletes. This leads into a broader conversation around staying sharp, adaptable, and professional when working on location.

We also unpack the real heart of the episode: overdelivering as both a creative choice and a business decision. We discuss how to recognise which projects are worth pushing further, when overdelivering actually strengthens long-term relationships, and when it risks burnout or diminishing returns. We also talk about choosing images for yourself versus choosing images for the client, and how those decisions impact your portfolio and reputation.

We wrap up by discussing building rapport with talent, why trust and connection often lead to the best work on set, and how strategising on the best way to showcase and share your work is just as important as the core work itself.

In this episode, we dive into the psychological side of freelancing — the parts people don’t talk about enough.

We unpack belief as a freelancer: belief in your creative process, your pricing, your pace, and the way you choose to show up. We discuss the difference between being loudly confident versus letting your skills and craft speak for themselves... and why both approaches can work if they’re authentic to you.

We also get real about self-motivation and resilience. Freelancing doesn’t wait for motivation, it demands commitment. We talk about turning up even when you don’t feel like it, handling feedback and rejection, sending messages that never get replies, and sitting with silence without letting it knock you off course.

This episode is about understanding that uncertainty, quiet periods, and doubt aren’t signs you’re failing, they’re part of the job. And if you can stay committed through that, things do start to click.

It’s our first episode of 2026, and we’re starting the year with a big, honest conversation about goals, belief, and designing a creative life that actually fits who we want to become.

We talk through our goals for 2026, not just in terms of numbers or milestones, but as a lifestyle. Cameron shares how he’s structuring his weeks around 3D modelling, livestreaming, and remote work, focusing on building momentum through consistent systems rather than rigid targets. He also talks about going deep into technology, Linux, and software, and how questioning the “default” way things are done has reshaped how he thinks about creativity and work.

Matt shares his ambitions for 2026, including what it really takes to think and operate at a world-class level, from belief and mindset to communication, network, and showing up fully for every opportunity. We also discuss the future of content in an AI-driven world, the importance of authenticity, and why embracing imperfection might be the thing that sets creatives apart moving forward.

Along the way, we touch on recent moments in our lives, from Matt’s engagement, to reflections on film and TV, and what seeing what’s possible can do for your own ambition.

A reflective, motivating start to the year and an episode about committing fully to the long game.
