#09: Daryl Hawks - Knowing Your Own Worth As A Professional Videographer (Or Any Creative)

Daryl Hawks (@dhawks2099 on twitter) is on the show today. Daryl "D Hawks" is a music video director and producer, as well as the owner of Studio 2099, a creative visuals company. Their main focus of work is music videos but they also do some photography and other videography projects, and you can check them out and see Daryls work by looking up "Studio 2099" on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms as well. He is someone who shares my love for creating and editing videos, so I was super excited to have him on to share his wisdom to me and you listerners. This podcast felt like more of a casual conversation to me, like more than just someone getting asked questions and answering them. Theres a lot of conversations that flow into each other. We talk about how he grew up right outside of Buffalo in Lockport and how that shaped him into being a more self-relient person, what made him want to start shooting videos, the up and coming Buffalo hip hop scene, how to learn how to edit videos, favorite books, and a bunch of other goodies.
