What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Howdy my friend, really quick, I want to talk to you about something new we're doing here at Creator News Live. It's called the Cheat Sheet Club. Every week we take the best ideas from the episode and boil it down into a downloadable cheat sheet. The key takeaways, the tactics, the tools our guests actually use so you get the good stuff without having to re-listen or furiously try to take notes during the episode. Ever try to take notes while walking on a treadmill? Completely impossible. Possible. Don't ask me how I know. It's free, so go grab it at JeffC.com forward slash cheat sheet. That's J-E-F-F S-N-Sam I-E-H dot com forward slash cheat sheet. Alright, let's get into today's episode.
So if I'm the one that wants to be seen, I just have to make a better product. How do I make a better product? I illuminate the guests that comes on. Then people will keep coming back to my show. It sounds counterintuitive, but it's really not. It's all about making sure that the product that you're delivering is the best possible product. And people get pretty bored when all you're doing is talking about yourself over and over and over.
Hello folks, welcome to Creator News Live. I'm Jeff C and you're not.
And I'm Kira Pogey and this is a show that keeps you up to date on what's happening in the Create Air Academy and so much more.
Have you ever wondered the best way to interview, like when it's your turn to talk, or maybe it's you want to ask a question so good the other person tells you something they had never said out loud before? This might be a little bit uncomfortable. What if the thing holding your interviews, your lives, even your sales calls back is that you talk too much? If that sounds like you, it does me a little bit, you are in the right place.
Yeah, it sounds like me a little bit too. So I'm really glad that our guest today is Matt Stagliano. He is a portrait photographer from Maine, The Way Life Should Be. He's the host of the Generator Podcast and the author of a new book called Speak Less, Get More. He's here to teach us his framework for asking better questions, a little bit about how he leverages AI to run his one person studio, and lessons that he's learned from over 70 plus conversations with creatives on how to do the real
So sit back, clear your schedule, clear your mind, and get ready for this week's episode of Creator News Live.
It's create a news live where the real talk thrives. Matt Stagliano is here, the conversations alive. A podcast, a book, and a one-man crew. Speak less, get more. Here's how you break the
Awesome, awesome. It's it was a little hard to get your last name to work for the AI. Had a had a little bit of problem with that one, but it it it came out good in the end. So very, very cool. Thanks again for being here, Matt. This is gonna be a fun show.
Thanks, Jeff. That was great. And it's it's really funny. The AI got my salt and pepper right. I was really actually kind of impressed with it, made me look better. If I could have that for my headshot, that'd be actually faster.
I will sit it on. I will sit it on. So I want to jump into it because it seems like you're a lot like me. That you you've done a lot of things, you do a lot of things. But one of the questions I had, because you know, you're a portrait photographer and your your photos are stunning, by the way. I just was really impressed looking at your portfolio. But you know, many times photographers and videographers, you know, they love being behind the camera, but maybe they struggle with being in front of a little bit. So what made you decide to kind of do that? Like go to, you know, you have a YouTube channel, you have a podcast, generator podcast. So kind of tell us a little bit of the origin story behind that because I've found like a lot of times it's a little bit of a struggle for creators to get in front of the camera like that.
Yeah, absolutely. I think self-portraits specifically are probably one of the most difficult things for photographers to do, right? We live behind the camera. We're always searching for composition and light and, you know, figuring out what the best pose is going to be.
