The Dave Grenier Podcast
For creators who want to become real professionals, not just collect tips. Every Monday, I share practical photo and video advice based on actual experience: workflows that hold up on real jobs, decisions that save you time, and fixes for problems you’ll actually run into. If you’re tired of the same recycled creator-to-creator echo chamber, you’re in the right place. We talk gear only when it solves a specific problem, and we keep the focus on what actually moves the needle.
The Dave Grenier Podcast
Stop Buying Gear. Start Solving Problems.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Before I buy anything, I try to slow down and ask: does this solve a real problem, or does it just make me feel better? In this one I share the mindset I use, plus a couple real examples from my own gear choices, including one upgrade I’m glad I made and one purchase I definitely didn’t need.
