Edward Lee is a filmmaker and content creator who's carved his name in this industry with his unique style, commitment to the aesthetic and big brand partnerships. We unleash all our questions on Ed and he doesn't hold back on pulling back the curtain behind his successful and thriving creative business.

Ed has built an iconic brand in the creator space: working with brand clients like Delta Airlines, The North Face, Lincoln, Sonos, Orbitkey etc. Not only has Ed built up an impressive client list, he's also mastered the art of building a personal brand as well - - curating a large & committed following on Youtube & Instagram. A purist when it comes to art but also strategic in his business - you're going to learn so much from Ed in this episode. 

On today's episode, we chat about how Ed got started, why he quit his job, how Ed and Joey met, why personal brand is so crucial and what he's learned after 8 years of full time creative work.
