“Don’t let perfection and fear limit the best version of you”
Carlos Bradley
My word am I excited to introduce you to Carlos Bradley. A Photographer and film maker from Atlanta Georgia, Carlos has much to share about his process of turning a hobby into a career. The story started way back when Carlos used to steal the family disposable camera and filled it with selfies and from there, his love of photography and film has grown into the career it is today. Carlos has taken on projects from taking photos for Facebook profiles back when Facebook started, capturing the vibes of nightclubs and editing thousands of photos, to being a part of Geico commercials. Carlos has accomplished a lot and is an amazing resource for insights into both technology and life. I have no doubt there are some incredible things on the horizon for Carlos and I cannot wait to watch the journey unfold.

We all have an interesting story to share and insights/advice to give, so let’s give everyone the opportunity to do just that.
