On this week’s episode of Behind the Business Podcast, an expansive question comes to light regarding the pressures business owners put on themselves when they’re doing all of their prepping, planning, goal-setting, and time-bending. Do we get too hung up on the ‘why’? Hear us out. Matthew Powers, owner of Calioh Coffee Roasters, weighs in with an interesting perspective on this. Matthew is a detail-oriented entrepreneur. He sets specific money goals, and he puts in the work to achieve those goals. But he doesn’t do it because he feels compelled to make a dollar. To him, that’s where we get caught up. Matthew says he commits in the way he does because he’s secure in the lifestyle he desires for his family. He’s measuring his financial goals by the experiences he gets to have, not by how much money he generates. We don’t want to allow our work to take precedent over the joy of life. We don’t want to “just earn a living.” Host Tawney Allen encourages the idea of leaning into what feels good as opposed to waiting until we can justify ‘why’ we feel that way. Gain the resources you need to warrant the life you desire and then watch your business grow. Not the other way around.

Matthew Powers discusses his research, which focuses on the intersection and overlap between non-profit communications and journalism. It’s an area that every visual or multimedia journalist or student should think about, because at some point, you are likely to end up with a commission from a non-profit. Maybe you feel uncomfortable crossing that line, or maybe it’s a sector you really want to move into. Whatever your thoughts, It's clear that the line is becoming increasingly blurred and there are lot’s of opportunities opening up in this sector. As always we’d love to hear your views, write to us or comment on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/multimediaweek. Matthew Powers, @mj_powers, is an Assistant Professor of Communication at the University of Washington.SHOWNOTES:Sharron came across Mathew’s research via this article When Greenpeace hires journalists, it’s adouble-edged sword http://theconversation.com/when-greenpeace-hires-journalists-its-a-double-edged-sword-47398 Matthew's most relevant paper to this shows ‘NGO Journalism’ discussion is here: https://www.academia.edu/10414692/The_New_Boots_on_the_Ground_NGOs_in_the_Changing_Landscape_of_International_News More of Matthew’s papers at: http://www.com.washington.edu/powers/ The Greenpeace report discussed in the show is here: http://energydesk.greenpeace.org/2015/12/08/exposed-academics-for-hire/ The HRW reporting in CAR is here: http://features.hrw.org/features/Unravelling_central_african_republic/index.php An older but very relevant series by Nieman Lab on NGO’s as newsmakers: http://www.niemanlab.org/2009/11/ngos-as-newsmakers-a-new-series-on-the-evolving-news-ecosystem/ Ashley Gilbertson's work for UNICEF is excellent http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/11/21/opinion/sunday/exposures-uncertain-journeys.html Photojournalism, advocacy and change by David Campell is another good read https://www.david-campbell.org/2015/04/30/photojournalism-advocacy-change-marcus-bleasdale-human-rights-watch-central-african-republic/ If you enjoyed this podcast, you might like to hear David Campbell’s interview with Emma Daly, communications Director at Human Rights Watch in New York  http://www.multimediaweek.net/e/ep-24-interview-with-emma-daly-human-rights-watch  SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS: The University of Bolton, together with Beijing Foreign Studies University are offering two fully funded postgraduate scholarships for international students in Multimedia Journalism for the 2016/17 academic year.
