This week we are talking taking care of our bodies and minds so that we can edit until we're the ripe old age of 95!

You have career goals but do you have health goals? You'll need to take care of your body because it's the vehicle you'll use to get you to the finish line.

We editors have a reputation for neglecting our health whether it be not exercising, sitting with incorrect posture, going without sleep or some other way that will kill you slowly.

This episode addresses that reputation: Why are editors out of shape? (not all of us, but let's face it, the majority seem to be).

This is also Part 1 of a 2-parter that will address overall health awareness. The next episode will deal with mental health, how to keep your brain stimulated, healthy and creative. So stay tuned for Part 2!

Josh has an announcement to make: he is taking the leap to being a freelance editor!

On this podcast we've discussed the differences between freelance and contract/full-time positions, with Josh and Nick representing both sides of the coin. However now...all that is about to change.

This decision has been long in the making and there has been much thought put into this move. This episode we get to capture what goes on in the mind of an editor as they make this transition. So for editors who are considering going freelance, this will be a great episode to know how to best prepare yourself for it.

This episode comes with a BIG gift for you!

We are joined by Todd Wolfe from CheeseSteak Media and FroKnowsPhoto. The latter of which just released the FroKnowsPhoto Video Editing Guide. This 16GB guide is jam-packed with the knowledge needed for beginners to get started with the basics and plenty of advanced techniques for the veteran editors, as well.

Todd shares his story about how he fell into filmmaking, running his business CheeseSteak Media and how he first encountered Jared Polin (the Fro) and formed an excellent business relationship that has become one of the biggest online resources for photography and filmmaking.

The guide also includes the footage featured in the guide itself so you can get hands-on experience trying your own cut of a music video, commercial or short film. If you do your own cut, go ahead and share it with us and the FroKnowsPhoto crew.

This was a killer episode and we want to thank Todd for being on the show and chatting with us.

He also wanted to share an EXCLUSIVE gift for the Command+Edit listeners. Use the promo code "cmdedit" (all lower case) to get a whopping 25% off of the FroKnowsPhoto Video Editing Guide (normally $279). Click the link below to get the guide now.

This here is a bonus episode for you to enjoy just for being awesome listeners!

We invited Andrea back on to the show in response to listeners saying they were curious about the 7-Day Sugar Detox group that she runs each month.

  • What does doing a sugar detox involve?
  • Are there ways to prepare the body for removing sugar from the diet?
  • What are the biggest challenges of a sugar detox and how does the group help?
  • Just how much sugar is in everyday food that you consume (Hint: Sugar hides in many foods under different names. It's sneaky like a ninja!)

You can join Andrea's 7-Day Sugar Detox group for FREE because she runs it out of the goodness of her heart. And also because she helps people for a living to make healthier lifestyle choices in nutrition and is an all-around pretty happy person herself.

Join the 7-Day Sugar Detox Group here (http://bit.ly/1YrYH9J)

Today's guest is Mark Hartzell (editor on True Blood, Agent Carter, Animal Kingdom) to talk about how he got into TV editing and what the difference is between TV editors and feature film editors.

We talked about:

  • What it's like transitioning from show-to-show often
  • How does the workflow differ between shows?
  • How do you know when to say "No" to a script?
  • ...and how do you do it politely and professionally so that bridges don't get burned?
  • And how does an editor work their way onto one of the BIG shows like Agent Carter? (or how can Nick weasel his way into working on The Golden Compass series?)

Today's guest is Andrea McLaughlin from Llovara Holistic and I'm so glad to chat with her about what fuels us and keeps us creative and active throughout the day.

I asked recently in the Command+Edit Facebook group how some of you rate your ability to make good food choices while on the job and (surprise!) a lot of you said you often cave and eat foods that you know will have a negative impact on you.

Our jobs are known for being particularly stressful, constantly changing and leave us with little to no chance to eating healthy.

So with that in mind, Andrea is here to save the day! She tells us:

  • How can eating better make us feel better and work more creatively?
  • What foods should we avoid for their negative affects?
  • What exactly does "holistic" mean and what does it have to do with us wanting to work better day-to-day?
