A Journey of Entrepreneurship & Resilience. David Cinelli and Mike Austin
In this episode of the DC Talks Podcast I am catching up with my great friend, top Canadian Realtor, and HGTV Hot Market co-host David Cinelli !
Our friendship has blossomed through the years, originally meeting through our wives, and since then; we've remained steadfast in growing our relationship.
In this episode from David's DC Talks Podcast. I talk about my journey into entrepreneurship, and my careers in live event production, architectural lighting and controls, all the way through to the inception of my own company Twenty Valley Media. Along the way, I touch on an eye opening cancer scare, and candidly share how this pivotal moment prompted a profound shift in my perspective on life.
Our conversation covers a range of topics, including:
- Relocating from the US and establishing roots in Canada
- The motivational nudge from Gary Vee that propelled me to start my own company
- Triumphing over sickness
- And striving to be the best version of oneself for the sake of family
And much more!

      Thanks for watching! The Rock-N-Roller and the Onstage cart both have plastic wheels and hubs. Which is great, so you don't need to worry about flats, and they are much lighter (great for travel). Though I prefer the hub design on the OnStage cart much better, as it uses a bolt into the hub axle. As the Onstage uses a cotter pin to hold the hub/wheel onto the axle.

      I have mine daisy chained via USB through an OWC Thunderbay RAID enclosure. And use it about 8 hours everyday for editing projects. Essentially all my projects these days are multicam 4K 120fps, with audio, 4K drone & graphics. Edited on FCPX on a M2 MacBook Pro. And I use the Sandisk Pro-G40 as my working drive. And it’s had no problems over the last year keeping up with my workflow. I haven’t heard about Acasis, I will have to check it out. Thank you for watching!

      @@kernzilla I checked out Acasis. I see they posted similar SSD speeds - "ACASIS 40Gbps NVMe SSD enclosure read/write speeds reaches up to 2805MB/s / 2734MB/s" on their website. I typically go w/ name brands that are tried and tru, not to say Acasis is not as good (I have never tried them out). Though I would error on the side of caution w/ anything that has a fan on it, and all those ports. Collectively they all add a lot of heat build up, which is why they need the fan in the first place. And if I were using this as my main working drive, I would want as few "failure" points in the device as possible. If you try it out, or do a review, send me the link. Would love to check it out! ✌

      ​@@MikeAustinMedia man i could not agree with you more, and know exactly what you mean. I swore off DIY external enclosures prob a decade ago after a scary situ that nearly cost me big time. revision note on my prev 4000mb comment: i mixed up a speed test result where someone took the NVME out of the Acasis, and installed internally to test r/w speeds on custom windows build. impressive speed ofc, but not relevant to us mac users. my bad on that! for anyone reading/researching, I don't think there is an external enclosure that breaks 3k.. if there is i'm all ears! While there are pros to it, I'm not overly sold on the Acasis setup either. having addl USB port in the back would be handy, and being able to upgrade the drive size makes it a bit more future proof. but at the end of the day, I've never heard of Acasis until the last several weeks exploring my options for fast externals. where the viability escalated was a podcast or something, where Caleb Pike was like "i love it" and someone like that can be impactful on my decision-making. tbh, I've been happy with my Sandisk Pro HDDs and Extreme Pro SSDs drives in the last year, and this G40 prob makes more sense. My Sandisk SSDs perform lot better than my prev T7 drives after several hours, but still see some unwanted slow-downs couple hours into edit. where it's really apparent is pulling up finder window with 100s or 1000s of raw photos - at beginning of work session, these thumbnails load nearly instantly, few hours into working, it can become a dreadfully long time. also skimming timeline after a fresh restart gets laggy/less responsive. hate to admit it, but this 'stickyness' affects me more than it should; i internally start getting steamed about it and can stifle my creativity and minimize being "on a roll" with an edit. perhaps a personality weakness on my part lol, but willing to throw some money at this to see if it can be resolved. if i buy the acasis setup, will def report back with finding, but likely just go with the G40. appreciate the vids, keep up the good work! (and holy shit this was a long reply hahahaa!)

    Hey Mike, How long have you been using the drive? SanDisk has had some issues in the past year on their Extreme Pro drives with failures (Ive used one of these slower drives for years without issue FWIW). Just wondering how you have found the Pro G40?

    • @MikeAustinMedia

      Hi Andre, I have been using it just over a month now. Yes, I have read about the issues. Though I am not too worried about that as every drive manufacturer has random issues at one point or another. I use this SSD just as my working drive, and still have everything backed up locally and in the cloud so Im not worried. I've had failures w/ most all major manufacturers at one point or another, so as long as I use the modified 3-2-1 rule and swap out/update RAID backup drives every 3-5 year I'm good "from a business standpoint". This drive though is really helping me dominate the workflow with FCPX on my MacBook M2 Max. Thanks for the comment, have a great day!
