Recently, I’ve been going deep down the rabbit hole of camera gear and lighting, and the strikingly handsome Justin Bobb has been my spiritual guide. So today, we’re broaching these topics with all of you, and you’ll also get to hear me apologize profusely to Luke Koppa for basically forcing him to drink terrible coffee over the years. (You’ll see.)
We Want to Hear from You!

I have been waiting for you guys to dive into cameras.
It is amazing how the technology can make the learning curve reasonable for the average person to be able capture video /photo and then edit it into something reasonable professional. Super high end no, but good enough for the job of YouTube and Social Media.
The discussion on functional for usecase vs cost was good. Unless we shooting for Red Bull no need for a super expensive (relative) kit.
I will say I tried Divinci, and it was too much learning curve for what I had the time for. The same with PhotoShop. But if getting content was my primary business, I am sure I would have dedicated more time to the process. Instead I found Microsoft’s Clip Champ to be Super Easy, intuitive, and expansive with time and practice. Perfect for the weekend warrior.
I hope you will continue this discussion, and open it up to action cams. I am sure I am not the only member of the 100, recording memories with their go pro or other action cams.
Would love to hear about different action cams and what are best use cases for different brands and models. Mounts. Btw Head is much much better than chest. Tips and Tricks. Then maybe a discussion on settings.
Thanks again guys.

Jonathan, I know the podcast wasn’t about this, but I want to bring up something that I think is pretty fundamental. you mentioned in your discussion of light. You said that mitochondria get powered by exposure to sunlight. As far as I know, mitochondria are not powered by exposure to sunlight. Mitochondria, which are organelles present in animal cells and are thought to be derived from oxygen-consuming bacteria and have their own DNA separate from an animal’s DNA, take products of sugar metabolism (NADH and pyruvate) and fatty acid metabolism (acetyl-CoA) plus oxygen and use that in the electron transport chain to make adenosine triphosphate, which is the energy currency of cell that powers everything, like muscles, flagella, ion pumps, DNA synthesis, etc.
Photosynthesis, the ability to take water and light and make chemical energy (ATP and NADPH) and oxygen, is an ability limited to plants, red algae, green algae, and cyanobacteria. The chemical energy can be stored in carbohydrates like glucose via the Calvin Cycle. In plants, the conversion of light and water into chemical energy takes place in organelles called chloroplasts, which are thought to be derived from photosynthetic bacteria. Animals cannot perform photosynthesis and need to obtain energy by eating other organisms like plants or other animals.
Good thoughts, Samuel, thanks. And I didn’t mean to suggest that photosynthesis was taking place, because you’re right, it’s not. But there is emerging research on how exposure to sunlight affects mitochondria in humans. Huberman recently discussed this with Dr. Martin Picard on his podcast (ep. 259 “Improve Energy & Longevity by Optimizing Mitochondria”), and earlier this year, I’d seen this study published on nature.com:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-09785-3
This is from the abstract of the article:
“Long wavelength red light that can extend beyond the human visual range penetrates deeply through biological tissue. Exposure to these longer wavelengths improves mitochondrial function and ATP production.”
Well damn, that’s super interesting. I probably should have just asked you what you meant by the whole mitochondria thing rather than posting a long winded digression about cellular respiration. Thanks for sharing that.
