KEY REFERENCES
● His first videographer gig didn’t go as planned but still learned from there as an amateur
● Working with people who like to collaborate and are open-minded to fresh ideas, rather than wanting him to do one-off videography
● Working various 9-5 roles in different industries including Schools and Corporates, prepared him for his business and all had one thing in common: they were all associated with events
● He can take his company anywhere in the world and isn’t limited to one country or area to work in, and can work anytime (finding freedom)
● Finding differences to Spanish cultures
● Lockdown in Spain completely different to England- far less opportunities to leave your home
