 Welcome to the laptop set. Right. This is my chaos. As you can see, well, it's actually a lot tidier than it normally is. I was doing a review of a camera lens, 24 to 70 Mark II for Sony G Master Series. So I did that and I rigged up the phone to the camera there. You can see that's pretty cool. Yeah, Sony sends it to me in a really cool little black box. Got my coffee. It's actually tea today. Got my workhorse right here. There's a microphone here. Everything I do on my laptop is on here. It's a nice light here. I have a beautiful little alcohol collection there that I never drink because I'm too busy working. And yeah, when I have time, I put the microphone on and I do podcasts. There's heaps of stuff that I do, but I want to share it more with you now. And being a part of the Sevo show, I feel that I need to be a bit more transparent and not need but want to. I don't need to do anything. I can live my life and just be chill as it is. And I've got this little microphone here. Ooh, probably picking that up, eh? Anyway, this is where we start. Today is day one. Today is Monday, the 16th of May, 2022. And I'm just gonna take snippets of as much as I can around my day-to-day and compile it all for you in a weekly episode on YouTube. And then from there, you'll find hilarious snippets that you probably found on TikTok and Instagram and maybe even LinkedIn that brought you here. So enjoy the show. Most of it is unproduced apart from the work that I do. Everything I talk about is true to the best of my knowledge and I will always tell you things from my own personal observation. It's never an agenda. It's never a, you must do this, you must do this. It's always, you can try it. It's always suggestive. Whatever you take out from these episodes from now on and into the future, then I wish you well and I hope that some of this is helpful. Please let me know what you think and cue intro if there is one. I hope you're entertained and let's get to it. I don't know how we would make that even more quicker or a lot more enthusiasm, but. Anyway, today I'm gonna go and field test this lens. So I'm not really a reviewer of tech, but I use it a lot. And I can tell you what I like about it and what I don't like about it without getting too nerdy for the nerdy versions of things. Check out my mates, Andrew Murphy and Jason Morris. He's the guy behind the lens, behind the camera that really knows his stuff when it comes to Sony equipment. And a good friend of mine. I learn a lot from him, so that's the nerdy stuff. For me, I've just gone hard with it and gone, yeah, this is the one. What we're going to do next is we're gonna drive to the city and go take some photos. And then we're gonna go to the movies and go watch the new Topcon movie with my friend Eddie. That's exciting. It's only Monday. Let's get to it. I've got so much to do and I'll share that with you next. I'm gonna fill up my wife board soon and show you what I'm all about this week. And it's good because it keeps me accountable and gets me moving. If you're cheering for me, then great. I'm gonna be even more motivated to get through stuff because content is king, right? Let's do it. So the movie premiere went well. Man, TikTok about it. Here it is. We're at the premiere of Topcon. If you had a call sign as a fighter pilot, what would it be and why? Probably the entertainer. And why? Because I do his afflictions shit. And last night I was doing a TikTok live stream. During the live stream, I got a notification from my phone from a text message of someone going, do you wanna go to Cannes tomorrow? Yeah, sure. I'll go on an all expenses paid trip to Queensland and, you know, make content. So here I am, about to head off. Got my boy Jason here with me. He's gonna take me to the airport. He's a bit short. Wow. Ha ha ha. Opportunities come round even last minute. Last night I was live streaming on TikTok and I got a message from a friend, the boys from Cheat Meats. You can hit them up here. They were flown into Cannes through Hunt and Brew. There's lovely company here. Hopefully the white balance is, there it is. But Hunt and Brew flew them over to Cannes in Queensland to do some promoting and they're gonna do some cooking there with their brisket stuff and it's amazing. So I'm keen for that too. Last night they booked my flights and now we're driving to the airport to send it. I've got a lot of meetings to do right now, between now and then. I've got a meeting at 11 AM so there's a bit of a challenge to get through check-in and stuff and be sitting in the terminal waiting for my flight and setting my laptop up on Zoom so I can have a meeting with someone else. One including TikTok, which is an important one. And then yeah, on the flight, I've got my laptop. I'm gonna do some wedding photo editing because I can no longer do it at home. One o'clock fly up, Q montage. Now it was at the airport because it's so late at night. 11 PM Wednesday night in Queensland. I'm gonna go to the hotel room. I think I'm gonna get picked up. See if the boys are there. All right, ass off. Apart when your ears are f***ed and you're just trying to pop them. Now I'm waiting for the boys from Cheat Meats to pick me up. Hopefully the pubs still open. I didn't get much footage on the plane because it's the same s***. I don't fit and the toilets are too small. Okay, in the elevator of the hotel. Two, seven, three. Two, seven, three, there it is. There it is. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Doubles, doubles. We're doing bounties on each of those two. Bang, bang. Got a balcony. We'll have a look at that later. Oh, there's a pool there. Yeah, pool time. Bathroom, bathtub. I'll be not fitting in that at all. How's, how's that? Zoom right in on that. Just, that's, just, how's that? There's my feet. There's my head. In moments like this, you're just going to appreciate the people that you make friends with who look out for you and make happen with you shout outs to the boys. Already forgot where I'm going. May as well introduce you to the boys. The crew. Guys that got me here. We're on to have some bevos and then the next couple of days they will get quite messy in a good way. Welcome. What's going on? What's going on? Honestly feels like cow googly. Have you been a cow? It's like cow butt with palm trees. Yeah, and humid. We're going to the cast tomorrow morning, breakfast and then other stuff. Probably not gonna be able to film inside the cast. Probably a good thing because I don't win money much. That's why I don't gamble. Three hours later. Walking home from the cast. My one rule is I'm not allowed to use a map to see if I can get back and I'm a little bit intoxicated. And I want to see if I can get back without using a map somewhere that I've never been before. Casino was about four or five blocks away. So, ah, I made it. I did it. Yay. The next morning. So it's Thursday now and this is outside with the pool. I don't know what the ISO is doing there but it's looking rather nice. I'm here for the hunt and brew event. I'm excited because we're going to get to the farm and I think I've decided to do a series. I'm going to launch a series whether it's on TikTok and expanding it to YouTube but I'm going to call it learn with Seth and I'm just going to go do shit and teach people about it. So, first episode inaugural. We're going to go with this here. Let's get that focus. There we go. We're going to head over to the hunted brew and I'm going to teach you how this is made from all the way from the coffee beans being picked out of the bushes or the farm to being roasted to being cooked with some ingredients to make for the flavors all nice and also bottled and served to you at your local server. So, that's going to be today. Anyway, breakfast is on them downstairs in the hotel. Let's get some free food. This is my welcome note. No hotel, hunting brew. Gave me a drink on me, on us. That's cute. Use that later and some sunnies. No coup. Did you get breakfast for free? If you didn't vlog about it. No. Yes, sir. Round two. They have a Gelatissima conference. I don't really want to crash it because ice cream and shit. I still got an ear plug thing. Do you guys have a remedy for that? Like, after a flight, if one of your ears is still plugged, how do you unplug it? Doesn't work. It stays plugged for like a day and it's annoying. All aboard the coffee bus. Let's go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. Loves this coffee. So now, why cans of all places for this specific blend for your drink? Cans produces Australia's coffee beans. The climate here is perfect for growing for coffee beans and we are fortunate enough to get the first commercial quantity of coffee beans for the hunting brew product. And how long has it been in the making for? For years. For years we've been trying to find a farm in Australia that can find enough coffee for hunting brew and we finally found one which we're visiting today. Broken down, just having a rest because we're waiting for something else to happen. I'm stretching my legs because I don't like sitting down for very long. We're in the fields of coffee. Fields and fields of coffee. I get a bit of hay fever so I can't really smell it that well so hopefully the closer I get, the more potent the smell is. Are you hungry? I'm always hungry for you. We've got a couple of dinosaur bones here. Oh, this is exclusively for me. At most events you'll find me right here at the grazing table. If you want me to come to your event, you may have a grazing table like this and I'm almost a guarantee. It's part of the Australian launch. We're super excited too. All right, what do they go for the bevos? Pink gin soda. You've got a ginger beer as well. A vodka soda. That looks like a winner too. Oh no, hunting brew. Look at that presentation. All right. We're about to go into a farm tour and see where the beans come from. Coffee will take about three years until it fruits and we can get a harvest of it. All right, let's give this a go. First time. Yeah, taste like a berry. Could be sweeter, but I wouldn't hope to survive. But yeah, it'll do. That's what it looks like. Some tasting. Yeah. What's your money on? Brasil. Brasil. So when you do it, make that noise. We're on the way to some crocodile farm with Cory. We've got Ed at the front doing business and we've got the Italian stallion having a drive. Hey, hey, hey, I was on the right. With his bangers. Arrived at the crocodile farm. About to enter in crocodile shit. Home on a Saturday because when you get home, you still have a good day and a bit to just chill. What? Get out of here. Yes. Let's go. For a second. See, you should be familiar with the braces. Final leg. Five hour flight. Absolutely. Ed's stoked. Stoked to be going home. I better update you guys for what's happening. Move the camera there. So I am back from Cairns. We were promoting this drink first in the world to brew the coffee from beans that were farmed in the same country as was the milk. So everything was made in Australia. First ever coffee drink in the world to do that. I'm shocked because coffee's been around for a while. Commercially, it's been around probably around 120 or so years. The two biggest places in the world for farming coffee are Brazil and Vietnam. And none of them have their own bottled drink. Now, there are other coffees out there. Not going to mention them because they're competitors. But they're all from exported beans from other places in other countries. But Hunt and Brew comes in clutch in the first ever Australian brewed coffee to release its own drink. Again, coffee's farmed here in Cairns. That's where we went. We went to the farm and then we went and drank all this and had some good times and stuff and it's legit. Now, if you look at the back of the label, we have, check this out, no added ingredients. It's just coffee, milk and water. That's it. And my favorite part is there's no added sugar. There is 6.4 grams of sugar per serve. That's one drink, 6.4 grams. That's it. That's it. I mean, if you are a sugar person, you can add it into yourself or we'll make content about that later. But this is the future. And I can't wait to promote it even more because there's going to be a vertical version of this on TikTok. But I'm excited. I'm genuinely excited. Genuinely excited enough that I've got my own Hunt and Brew merch with the rhino on the back. It's not quite the kangaroo, but we're there. In other news, we have something else to promote. And I'm excited about this because I'm all about lighting as well. Shout out to Andrew Murphy again. Here is his channel once more. Shout out. He hooked me up with a plug from Nanlite and I've got two Nanlites that I'm going to mess around with in the field and also at home. They're not super strong, but they're compact. And that was the aim to see what sort of magic I can do with them. So I'm going to make that content later. This lens, the 72, 24, 24, 71 point, sorry, 2.8. This is going to be sold. This is sold to one of my interns, his name's Jarek. And he's going to pick it up when I get them up too. You saw the review before. It's about it for now for this week. It kind of wraps up what happened last week in Cairns. Today is Wednesday, the 25th of May. This week has been hectic. I've just been doing workshops, TikTok workshop and content creation workshops on how to perform better on TikTok and amongst other platforms. Yesterday I had a meeting with a new and specific digital agency for business. So that's exciting. And then tomorrow I've got a wedding. So I'm shooting a wedding in the afternoon. Friday is a little bit more chill. I'm probably going to be doing a bit more editing for the clients and posting some stuff up, getting some more content in the afternoon, which will be cool. And then Saturday, another wedding, a big one, all day wedding, I'm covered for that. So I'm going to share with you some stuff in the wedding space to see my life in that. You can follow me on Sev's weddings right here on Instagram and join in that journey there. And there's a lot of stories coming out from that soon. So in the second episode of Sev's life, the Sevo show, something I'm going to call it for my YouTube channel. And amongst other things like TikTok, we're going to dive deep into what I actually do on the regular daily basis, majority of the time. And it's either weddings, consulting and personal TikTok creation and playing around with products like this. And then let's go from there and anything else that happens in between, I'm keen to share it to you. Thanks for tuning in. Let's get it happening.
