    Take 7 - Josh Goodell on Transitioning to a Larger Market

    Josh Goodell joins us to discuss his experiences transitioning from Iowa to Los Angeles. From still photography to a rental house to getting on set with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, Josh helps us dissect his journey West. We discuss how he approached networking in LA, how he found his way to the moving image, and what best practices he employed to stay positive and focused. Josh is a good friend of mine, and I think you'll find his story helpful if you are looking to move to a bigger market.
