Tagging artists, creatives, photographers, videographers, etc. is important not just for the gesture of giving credit where credit is due, but for other purposes like making connections.

Ethan Lemieux created a dope video for Mural City Coffee Company and I took notice. He did a great job and I wanted to know the guy who made the video. I wouldn’t have known who the creator was if Mural City didn’t tag his name in their post.

So I reached out to Ethan, said we should meet up for coffee, and we got to do that this morning.

Come to find out he’s got a lot in common with me and there is potential to work on some projects together.

Here’s my message to you. Make friends not enemies. I could have looked at Ethan as a threat or competition, but that’s not my heart or mindset.

I’m motivated to make connections and help our fellow creators as much as I can.

As Ethan put it this morning, “we can accomplish so much more together.”
