I'm māori and atheist
Creative Curiosity
I've stopped believing in god a long time ago but didn't embrace being atheist until a couple of years ago. This is a big part of me that I've struggled to express openly because of the amount of people I respect who have beliefs in the supernatural. I feel liberated knowing I no longer have to pretend I believe in things I don't.

Retimana Hartley of S30 Studio | Know Your Numbers ep2
Creative Curiosity
I met Retimana a couple years back when he came to get some moko done. Over those couple of days. I learnt alot about his journey and his business prowess. One of the most valuable lessons I learnt from him was the power of asking questions and to never be afraid to say you don't know something. This way you get quick tips and answers in order to move forward in your business. Another valuable lesson he taught me was creating great systems and processes so when it comes time to hand off tasks, the people you're handing them off to have a roadmap to follow.

The last month has been a good change. I've recently started an internship at The Hood & Co who are a video production company based in Auckland. I've always wanted to move into film making at some point, and being at The Hood & Co will help me learn the skills necessary to get there. Here's to the future! =)

How being a perfectionist has negatively affected my work
Creative Curiosity
I've spent countless hours deliberating over small details of works that didn't need to be deliberated over and it's taught me a good lesson. Prioritise what work needs more effort and time than others. They don't all need the same amount of energy.
info_outlineIt was a pleasure having James Rua on the podcast today. He's a super skilled creator when it comes to all things video. I say skilled because he went out and worked hard to get better, and I say skilled creator because there are many aspects when it comes to creating video and he has had experience in all of those areas.
We take a dive into his roots in the film and television industry here in NZ, his idea of leadership and management, how figuring out your threshold when it comes to risk and sacrifice can lead to your ideal life and many other topics related to video creation and his life.
Even if you're not a video creator I'm sure you'll find value in this episode of the podcast
