EP 53: Build Community

Success never happens alone. This week, REL reflects on a powerful quote from Angela Davis—a reminder that real progress is built with community, not in isolation. Every major moment, every breakthrough, is stronger when it's shared with the people around you.

We also dive into the latest news shaking up the creative world. The DJI Mavic 4 Pro leak signals DJI’s growing takeover of the consumer video camera market. RED just dropped the price of the KOMODO 6K to $2,995, making it more accessible than ever for indie filmmakers. Meanwhile, Runway Gen-4 advances AI video capabilities, but real filmmaking still proves it’s the heart of storytelling. And over in culture news, Warren G is set to perform and compete at the National BBQ Festival on Long Island.

On the personal side, REL shares why he's headed to Vegas next week for a project that feels like a major turning point for Art of Storytelling, and recaps the first-ever Storytellers Only event that went down in Oakland this past weekend—marking the beginning of something truly special.
