On this episode I chatted with Oklahoma photographer Tony Hebert about his business and passion for photography. In specific, night and dark sky photography. Tony who used to be aa police officer with a photography side business suffered a bit of a physical scare. Causing him to leave the force and commit fully to his photography business. His company 319 Photography is extremely unique in everything they do. My favorite being the workshops for customers. Tony and his team take photographers on three to four day workshops around the country. As he says in the interview the best skies for dark photography are in the Western half of the country with less light pollution. So Tony and his team take groups out to the desert to show them how to capture and edit the best photos. He even goes to Alaska to photography the northern lights and see bears!

Bio
Born in San José, Costa Rica, Carlos Barboza has been dedicated to the visual arts from a very early age. Beginning with caricature lessons and a healthy obsession with movies, Carlos's artwork has always been character-driven and inspired by cinematic imagery.
From digital illustration to mural painting, Carlos is constantly evolving as an artist. He pushes himself to go beyond what’s possible stylistically and technically, while nevertheless maintaining what he believes is the most important value— emotionally driven storytelling.
Carlos currently resides in Oklahoma City with his beautiful wife, Leslie. And also… he has a daughter now. A perfect tiny human. And he has no idea what he’s doing.

On this episode I chatted with Piyush Patel about his entrepreneurial journey. Last fall I had the opportunity to tour Piyush's home in OKC and boy is it special. Almost as special as his story and message for you all today. Piyush grew up in El Reno Oklahoma and learned the value of hard work and gratitude from a young age. However, culturally his parents wanted him to become one of three things. To which Piyush did not take to very enthusiastically. So he joined the military to pay for his schooling and became a teacher. Working part time at the local radio station at OSU he noticed a room. A special room where people spent hours and hours in, that room was the animation room. He was hooked, marrying his passion for teaching and learning animation his business was born. I'll let Piyush take it from here. This story is just one of many example of the opportunity that this incredible country presented to immigrants like myself and Piyush. The American dream is a real thing and we are living examples of that dream.
