Video couldn’t have come at a more perfect time! This week I quit my job to pursue my video business full time. Your content’s been inspirational to me for a while now so hearing your thoughts in discussions about entrepreneurship and brand building is awesome stuff!
Awesome, mate! Wish you the best on this journey. I'm one year in and can only tell you to be yourself and make some friends along the way. The creative industry is amazing!
Clocks & Colours is a brand that I will always stand behind - not only because of the gorgeous work they do, but because of their philosophy as artists - following your gut As an artist and art RUclipsr, my creative process is defined by that philosophy Awesome partnership - one more reason I’m so proud to be Canadian My love to you both.
This was literally perfect timing, I have my own brand and have been struggling with the creative side and only making stuff that I think people want, instead of just making shit I like. No point in doing it day to day if you don't get to make shit you love!
Remembering to have fun with a project like this is so important. Whenever starting a business venture, things WILL get rough. Remembering that joy you felt when you started will help you keep pushing. I wanna see us all succeed!!!!
Man...this was awesome and motivating AF. If you're watching this and have an entrepreneurial mindset I don't know what other fuel you need...Do it and fuckin kill it. Time to be the captain of the ship
This video made me smile :-) Just another independent creative here looking down at the ring I bought in Ubud, Bali, which was my first stop on a 3 month adventure backpacking Asia after I decided to quit my day job in San Francisco and set out on my own creative journey. 4 years independent this week!
Pete your videos have made such a huge impact on my photography career, I cannot tell you how excited I get every time you drop a vid! Thanks for all that you do Pete it means a lot
I am literally trying to figure out a brand for a ring making business im starting! And I've been inspired by both Pete's Pirate life and Clocks and Colours! So the timing of this is amazing!
This was really inspiring for me because I just quit my IT management job to get back into my photography and what makes me happy and try to finally build the life that makes me feel fulfilled. Keep up the amazing content and doing what makes you happy.
Dude, I'm in the middle of rebranding Pete! I've started leaning into freelance since you replied 2 weeks ago, secured a few gigs but looking to level up my brand visuals! Thanks for the video man, and for the inspiration ❤️
Needed this. I'm currently rebranding my film career and RUclips channel into following my journey as an aspiring film director. As I'm writing my first original film as we speak, i've been stuck in a creative rut and trying to appease the masses, but i'm learning how to trust my own creative intuition. Thank you
An enlightening video, to say the least... Creators and artists are meant to create and bring value into this world through their projects. When you create a piece of art, a business even a cup of coffee, you put a piece of your energy in it. To build a cult following, people who want to be around you and your brand you should tell your own story. Don't try to write someone else's story... Align ... I just saw that you are connected to etah love ! I love the philosophy and the pieces of the brand ! keep going
Thankful to find this video at this time. Currently cutting my dads grass for some extra cash while trying to climb over a mountain of debt to pursue sharing myself and the things I care about. Much love to the both of you for this encouragement!
On a real note, I needed to really listen to this. Realigning to following my gut is something I’ve been needing to do for a long time now. Thank you gentlemen.
Synchronicity. Sitting down today to relook at what business I want to start and why. Found this video and feel like it holds the piece I'm missing. Will be reflecting on the things that I love and enjoy and see how that links to what purpose I find in my life of constantly seeking growth. Inspiring. Thanks.
"..I wasn't really concerned, like if this is gonna become a real business or anything. I just wanted something where I could make some cool products that I was into." In my humble opinion, this is the biggest take away. Too often we hear things like "make stuff with your customer/audience in mind". While that has it's place, it can be limiting in the creative space. Build a brand that's for you. There are almost 8 billion peeps roaming the planet. Someone will be down. Chase what makes you happy. Not what makes others.
Love your videos, you always inspire Pete! Its because of you I started my channel and you continue to push and inspire me in my photography! . Like the addition of the candles behind you on the table, every little thing just adds that little bit!
My whole journey in jewellery started with a ring, bought in Dresden. It originally came from Bali too. The stone cracked after hitting something harder 😏 I took it to a goldsmith and swapped the stone with a blue Topaz with some personal changes to make it fully mine. Wearing it since 5 years and confirm stones have an affect on you
This is really interesting because it directly applies to my YT channel. I only review products specifically for Big & Tall people, so learning how to grow that market with no previous existence has been tough!
This had campfire story vibes all over it and I’m here for it! Would kill for an episode of the Dope squad just sitting around a fire telling life stories like this.
Dope seeing the start of the company. I order from them all the time since before your collab and love their work! Love your stuff on there too! Got a few of your collab!
The intro! the song, I just feel warm. I miss these meetings, well they dont get RUclips happy, and that is cash.... where are we goin with the art? Clearyfying I´m a rookie in the craft! That word is for me like the FORCE! I wish I had the force, but I know what I wish to see, NO CASH!
This video came out at the perfect timing since I've been looking for some ideas for my project. This just gave me the feeling of inspiration to strive forward. I love your work guys!
Holy sh*t Pete! This was legit the best video to come out today! I so appreciate that you shared your ‘quitting’ story. I seriously just did that this week so I could just create and it’s awesome to hear I’m not the only one (and not insane 😂) Thanks mate!
Your stories are always inspiring pete! I always love hearing about the day you and chris made that jump-and to see you find shane and how much you guys align-so epic to see. loved this video!
Very cool Peter… I’m a brand for my business and I really connect with the idea of this video. I try to think what other “Language institutes” in colombia are doing and “let’ just do things in our way and be authentic. would be cool to hear from you and your ideas… i always try to learn from it.
Awesome work!! Shane, true artist will always stay inspired with their learning roots, ubud is universal hub of art and artist, Peter you are an amazing creator, cheers from Ubud- Bali
Dude beautiful stories fr. Its my goal and dream to achieve what you have established for yourself and much more. An icon a legend and my inspiration thats Peter Mckinnon
This video was on point! I ❤️ the brand’s story, the storytelling, and the feel of the video. It's inspiring to hear why creatives follow their chosen path. BTW, I thought you were interviewing your brother. The resemblance is there.
I Dig this!! that mindset it was I am here for! I love the idea of just doing what I love without caring what others might feel like!!im still figuring my stuff out but ill get there!
Another great video PM Congrats guys on this And the great products.. it’s giving me the push to do something extra with my life .. thanks as always for inspiring everyone
The coolest thing about these real-life stories is when you look back in time and you're glad that you've made those risky decisions back then and do not regret not doing it for the rest of your life. (I hope that makes sense lol)
Hey Pete! When you use a Mic placed that close, it’s really sensitive to pops from “p” or “h” sounds… try using an eq with a hi pass (low cut) around 100hz or maybe a touch higher… it’ll help mitigate that “thump” in the low end of speech.🤗 appreciate your videos so much dude
Thanks again to Shane for stopping by to talk shop! Absolutely LOVE this topic and could literally make dozens of videos about building a brand!
Heck yeah love ya Peter!!
What is this code for only white people in Canada? Just call a Segregation Branding that's a good name for it. 👍 Good shit Petey
Please make those videos Pete, I think everyone would dig it! Especially coming from such a creative side of things you're portraying! 🙏
I really enjoy it when the videos are slightly long. ⚡️
PLS MAKE SOME BROLL PETER.... I LOVE U MAN
When the inspiration is authentic, it can be felt. Beautiful and genuine collaboration!

This is brilliant, Pete. Brought a tear to my eye. You guys are the embodiment of ‘follow your North Star.’
Yooo,,the last time i saw your videos was 2 years ago,still awesome 🔥⚡️
Yeah he’s dope ....He taught me how to shoot music videos wyd?
You've been missing out....
Welcome back!
@@BricksofHappiness i’ll watch all the videos tonight bro😂
@@ashourofficiall that’s a good idea, you won’t be sorry
Find someone who looks at you the way Pete looks at Shane 😄 Seriously though, this is truly inspirational. You guys are the best.
Just bought that Anker charger because of u - so rad 🥳

I just saw that you are connected to etah love ! I love the philosophy and the pieces of the brand ! keep going
My favourite dude on RUclips! For educational. For advice. And just for sheer entertainment. Regards from the UK!
Pete, please do more of these if you get a chance. It's really interesting to see the story behind brands and creations.
Shane is very articulate and I love it. He sent me rings from your first collection to photograph and one of the shots made it onto the website!
I love this. I literally have "I'm not for everyone" on my main page of my website so this whole video just spoke to me. Thank you for this chat!
Thankful to find this video at this time. Currently cutting my dads grass for some extra cash while trying to climb over a mountain of debt to pursue sharing myself and the things I care about. Much love to the both of you for this encouragement!
I love having a platform like this and building with other people and giving them a chance to be introduced to a new audience
Im from a little Island off Australia and I have a few Clocks and Colors items. So cool that a small brand can spread all over the world.
Two guys whose brands are genuinely inspiring me every day, this was amazing to information to absorb.
On a real note, I needed to really listen to this. Realigning to following my gut is something I’ve been needing to do for a long time now. Thank you gentlemen.
Don’t be scared to start that brand !!! Go for it
just ordered my first ring! thanks Clocks and Colours and Peter McKinnon!

Will be reflecting on the things that I love and enjoy and see how that links to what purpose I find in my life of constantly seeking growth. Inspiring. Thanks.
I've always made that statement about my photography...I do it for myself and if others enjoy it in the process that's a bonus.

I really like how every piece has a story and name behind it, have a nice collection of 16 and growing.
stoked for this one!

This had campfire story vibes all over it and I’m here for it! Would kill for an episode of the Dope squad just sitting around a fire telling life stories like this.
It's great seeing you talking to others that are passing there own way, really encouraging to see
Dope seeing the start of the company. I order from them all the time since before your collab and love their work! Love your stuff on there too! Got a few of your collab!
LOVE This! Can we please get the full length podcast/interview?
The intro! the song, I just feel warm. I miss these meetings, well they dont get RUclips happy, and that is cash.... where are we goin with the art? Clearyfying I´m a rookie in the craft! That word is for me like the FORCE! I wish I had the force, but I know what I wish to see, NO CASH!
I did a whole video about this line! Absolutely crushed it Pete! 🔥🔥🔥
Outstanding story, I'm working on a deck of cards and this couldn't have come at a better time man. Thanks again for keeping the fuel in the fire!
Ive got a tonne of clocks and colours stuff from over the years, was stoked when I saw your collab items start showing up.
There's some awesome vibe going on with you two on podcast, I could listen to your stories for hours straight.
So cool to see and hear someone talk about just starting something that you want and following your compass rose.
Right on. Dig their stuff. Just ordered a couple shirts. Congrats on the colab
Love how Peter matches the energy of his guests so well!
Really good life lesson; don't worry about making things for everyone cause your stuff isn't for everyone, its for you.
Amazing audio quality, dang! Stories were awesome too, as always. 👊🏼
This video is so interesting and inspiring, I could listen to y’all talk to each other for hours 🙏🏼
This video came out at the perfect timing since I've been looking for some ideas for my project. This just gave me the feeling of inspiration to strive forward.
I love your work guys!
So good!! Been meaning to check out their stuff for a while now. Crazy that you ended up doing a piece with them. Congrats man, they look amazing.
Holy sh*t Pete! This was legit the best video to come out today! I so appreciate that you shared your ‘quitting’ story. I seriously just did that this week so I could just create and it’s awesome to hear I’m not the only one (and not insane 😂) Thanks mate!
Your stories are always inspiring pete! I always love hearing about the day you and chris made that jump-and to see you find shane and how much you guys align-so epic to see. loved this video!
I love getting these style of videos from Pete!
Doesn’t matter what type of video this guy makes, I can binge them all. Thanks for the inspiration brother
I appreciate this about your channel. I’m realizing I haven’t been doing this and i think it’s why I’m struggling to build my channel. Thanks!
Had me on the edge of my seat when you said "Planes, trains.... automobile" I was like is he going to say it?! And he did.
Super cool video guys. Very inspiriing!
Very cool Peter… I’m a brand for my business and I really connect with the idea of this video. I try to think what other “Language institutes” in colombia are doing and “let’ just do things in our way and be authentic. would be cool to hear from you and your ideas… i always try to learn from it.
This is what people these days need to learn about, do what makes you happy and don't bash others just because you don't like the way they see things
LOVE vids like this! Well done, congrats on all of the above bro!
Love this topic too! Learned a lot from you, Peter and I appreciate all your videos man!
I love your brand! And your mission! We need more company’s like y’all!
love Shane work.I look for that every single week. Hope i can find it in PK
This is so relevant to me, thanks for posting!
Balinese here, yes it is the island to go if you want to find good arts and also great inspiration. So Bali is not only about great vacation island😄
Thanks Pete, thanks Shane! Love the brand and will be shopping for a piece myself so def appreciate that discount!
Awesome work!! Shane, true artist will always stay inspired with their learning roots, ubud is universal hub of art and artist, Peter you are an amazing creator, cheers from Ubud- Bali
Dude beautiful stories fr. Its my goal and dream to achieve what you have established for yourself and much more. An icon a legend and my inspiration thats Peter Mckinnon

I Dig this!! that mindset it was I am here for! I love the idea of just doing what I love without caring what others might feel like!!im still figuring my stuff out but ill get there!
I never come away from watching one of your videos without being inspired!

Peter McKinnon videos keep me going and are the reason why I love the craft of photography and film
Dude that was awesome and it was motivating. Great one!!
For a split second I was thinking 'The grandmother has explaining to do'. No wonder they look similar. LOL ... Awesome content as always guys!
absolutely love clocks and colours
Great vid guys! Those rings are really dope! It’s also nice to hear to you credit the artists in Ubud and see them as craftsmen👊🏽
Dude !!!!! So many gems in this . Live it
It feels great watching these two guys talk and share the stories
The coolest thing about these real-life stories is when you look back in time and you're glad that you've made those risky decisions back then and do not regret not doing it for the rest of your life. (I hope that makes sense lol)
King's birthday is coming up! 👑 And he's the one surprising us by uploading two videos in two days 😍
I just got my Watery Grave ring from them and it's fricken crazy. The detail is insane and I love it.

Wow. I loved this. I love hearing people's stories. Thank you guys for sharing this. This is beautiful.
Congratulation's with Clocks & Colours. love the blue ring with the trees. Awesome :)
Great episode. I really appreciate the added visuals.
Great stuff Pete. Good to see you branching out from your regular sphere of content. Inspiring!
