In this weeks episode of the Be More George podcast I chat with the absolutely amazing Clay Cook.  Clay is a former musician turned graphic designer turned photographer… and what a photographer he is!  In a few short years, Clay went from being a full time musician to being a full time photographer with a massive client list and massive social media following.  It is all down to hard work, and personal projects… a great follow up from last weeks episode on personal projects.
Have a listen, grab your notebook and pay attention!
