Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

07 Khary Mason retired Homicide Detective turned Photographer
Q: What was your training like in the academy and early career?
The academy emphasized rules, law, and tactics, with a sense of camaraderie and DEI training; he recalls a mentorship culture and models of firm but fair policing that inspired him.
07 Khary Mason retired Homicide Detective turned Photographer
Q: When did you decide to pursue policing as a career?
I was drawn to service and to provide for my family; photography and writing weren't on my radar at the time. Law enforcement offered a path to stability and to make a difference, which led me to the police academy and a long career.
10 Thanasis Petrakis UFC/NBA Videographer
Q: What has shooting embedded taught you about collaboration and being a one-person crew in high-stress environments?
Embedded showed that one camera, one fighter, and the right approach to sound, cadence, and on-the-fly interviews can produce compelling content without a large crew, emphasizing preparation and relationship-building with the subject.
10 Thanasis Petrakis UFC/NBA Videographer
Q: Is this something you've always wanted to do?
No, not at first. I didn't even know the job existed; I discovered it through exposure to basketball and film, and gradually built a path through internships, logging, and hands-on learning.
12 Reilly Balcom - New Age creator
Q: What are your thoughts on building a team and expanding into a production company?
I want to develop a production team with an editor, a director, and shooters to handle projects more efficiently, focusing on the final product and client relationships rather than everything being just about me.
