But it wasn't until he read the 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss while working 12-hour days on a boat off the coast of Angola that he began to envision a different life for himself. Today, he takes his 1,000,000+ audience on a journey from the streets of Tokyo to the beaches of French Polynesia. For him, the most important lesson learned is that the process is as important as the achievements themselves.

As an educator, Jamie's focus is on photography and related topics, but rather than being a typical gear-oriented channel, he emphasizes the artistic and philosophical aspects of the craft. While there is certainly value in gear reviews, he believes that the creative principles of photography are just as important.
