Hey everybody, what's up? It's Chase. Welcome to another episode of the show. Today is a micro show.

And I've been thinking about this for a long time. I made some notes in my journal. And so I'm going to read from from you a combination of my notes and some other things

I've written for today's micro show about what you can't see.

And I like to think that what you can't see matters.

What I'm talking about?

I'm talking about great work like photographs, videos, you know, enter your craft here. Whatever it is that you do, that you think of yourself as a creator around these particular activities. Enter your topic here. Great work. Great photographs, videos, your topic. Being great at that thing or doing great version

or some greatness in that craft is simply the get in the door fee yeah we need to be good at our

craft but when it comes to getting a job around doing that craft which is not for everybody to be good at our craft. But when it comes to getting a job around doing that craft,

which is not for everybody, to be fair, but if you are seeking to get hired for your craft,

when it comes to getting that job, a thing that you can't see matters. And it matters a lot.

Hiring for someone who is hiring for, say, the craft that you do,

hiring depends in part on intangibles.

The total package that someone brings to the table,

whether that package includes experience or vigor or passion or positivity,

wisdom, naivety, intensity, technical knowledge, or whatever.

We know not in any particular moment all of the things that go in, But what we do know is that it is a total

package that gets the gig. So picture this, if you will. There's an art director and they have to

spend 10 days on set, on some far away set with a great photographer or a great director to shoot something in, let's say,

Aruba.

I'm like a ruba, okay?

Do they, this art director and or client that's going to go on the shoot with you?

Do they want to hang out with the jerk?
