Whatâs up Rock Nation, today weâve welcome the Hall of Fame NBA Photographer Andrew Bernstein. Andrew D. Bernstein isnât just a photographer - heâs a storyteller who has spent over four decades documenting the greatest moments in sports history. From courtside at Lakers championships to behind-the-scenes with Kobe Bryant, his lens has shaped the way we see the game. A Hall of Fame photographer, longtime NBA shooter, and the co-author of The Mamba Mentality, Andy has built an unparalleled career capturing the essence of legendary athletes. Being that we both grew up in LA, we are huge Lakers and Kobe Bryant fans, so this episode was very special for us. If youâve ever wanted to know what it takes to capture history through a camera, this is an episode you donât want to miss!

Whatâs up Rock Nation, today weâve got the legend Chris Hau on the pod! Chris is a filmmaker, photographer, and entrepreneur whoâs completely flipped the script on how creators work with brands. After building a 600K-subscriber YouTube channel and crushing it on social media, Chris realized that all the views, likes, and followers didnât actually bring him happiness. Instead, he stepped back, redefined his goals, and went all-in on his production company, proving you donât need massive teams to make massive moves. Chris loves to work with Travel and Tech brands like DJI, Fairmont, and One-Plus, and leverages his personal brand into six-figure production deals. Chris is all about creating meaningful projects, building community, and helping other creators find success while staying true to themselves. This episode is Chris like you've never heard him before.
