Audio clips from that press conference are used throughout the episode.  \nFrom there, the conversation becomes much more personal.\nPatrick shares the story of an early freelance assignment he never should have accepted, and how one difficult phone call in a 7-Eleven parking lot changed the way he thinks about professionalism forever.\nBecause professionalism isn’t about never making mistakes.\nIt’s about telling the truth before someone has to chase you for it.\nKey idea: Good faith isn’t believing nothing will go wrong. It’s the promise that when it does, you’ll remain reachable.\nResourcesAPA (Advertising Photographers of America) Find your local chapter at apanational.orgThe BookLessons From a Terrible PhotographerSupport the Showterriblephotographer.com/supportStay ConnectedSubscribe to Pub Notes (the newsletter)The Terrible Creative on InstagramPatrick Fore on Instagram\nEmail Me (Patrick Fore)\n\nPodcast written, produced, and hosted by Patrick Fore.\nMusic licensed through Epidemic Sound and Blue Dot Sessions. \nRecorded from my garage in San Diego, California.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qsOnUwMbUF-PHJZ7RwOm0Uh1mXJoqDwCz1nHN0z7r7Q/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wMTIy/MjM3Yzk2YTUzZDE5/ZjNiODE0Y2MxOTgz/MGRiNC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
