Season 5, episode 2 is here!
Drew English and I had never spoken before this live. We’d only traded messages, and it all began with a short video from him with nothing to sell attached. He’s a self-taught cinematographer, a former wannabe rock star, and the host of the No Set Path podcast. He talks about career chaos with total calm. What a great chat!
What we covered:
- How Drew went from wannabe rock star to Apple store employee to working cinematographer, with a used camera, YouTube University and a $5,000 summer job in the middle.
- The podcast he started out of boredom in a basement during COVID, and the studio it grew into that he never has to market.
- The simple message that got him into my DMs, and the one part he found hard about sending it.
- Why he thinks plenty of people building a personal brand are actually building something else in disguise.
- What happened to a six-figure cinematography career, and the hybrid way he’s rebuilding around the life he actually wants.
- How he weighs paid work against showing up online, and the one thing that always comes first.
- The sci-fi worlds, the surprising Paris film and the vintage hobby he uses to switch off, plus the reassuring thought he left us with.
You can find Drew at No Set Path on Substack, where he also hosts the podcast of the same name.
