Living the GoPro Max Life - Abe Kislevitz

Hey guys,

Unfortunately, due to potential COVID exposure, we were not able to record a new episode this week. However, we still wanted to share something. So, we decided to re-upload and streamline the podcast that was done with Abe Kislevitz back in 2021. Also, the never-before-seen video is now going to be on YouTube as well. So, if you're not subscribed already, make sure go ahead and do so!

Abe Kislevitz  @abekislevitz   is the Senior Creative Director at GoPro. He originally started at University of Southern California studying mechanical engineering before being offered an opportunity with GoPro when it was in its infancy. Now, the rest is history as he has evolved with the company and has been a part of their team for over ten years.To start the conversation Josh goes into how he discovered Abe and asks him about how he ended up at GoPro and living in California.  He follows up by asking if Abe would follow the same path if he had the chance and if he has any advice for young creatives like himself. The conversation then shifts to discuss the differences between his Instagram/Youtube and real-life travels before talking about the harms of social media. Next, Josh asks Abe about his editing and filming style including how he learned it before getting into Abe's role at GoPro. To wrap up Josh and Abe discuss Abe's love for Japan and any career advice he has for kids trying to follow his path.
