The Dave Grenier Podcast
For creators who want to become real professionals, not just collect tips. Every Monday, I share practical photo and video advice based on actual experience: workflows that hold up on real jobs, decisions that save you time, and fixes for problems you’ll actually run into. If you’re tired of the same recycled creator-to-creator echo chamber, you’re in the right place. We talk gear only when it solves a specific problem, and we keep the focus on what actually moves the needle.

How to Build a Portfolio That Actually Gets You Hired with D.Will
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I sat down with D.Will, my first-ever podcast guest, to talk about what actually makes a portfolio hireable, not just “nice to look at.” We get into a real multi-day shooting workflow, client delivery habits, and the business side of building something sustainable.
