What if you could capture the essence of sports history through the lens of one of the most celebrated photographers in the field? Join us on this riveting episode of Voice Like a Lion, where we have an in-depth conversation with the legendary Andrew Bernstein. Known for his iconic images of athletes like Kobe Bryant, Andrew shares his incredible journey from picking up his first camera at 14 to becoming a cornerstone in sports photography over the past 45 years. Listen as we discuss how his work with the Showtime Lakers and the Dodgers has left an indelible mark on the sports world.

Reflecting on the foundations of leadership and resilience, I recount my own experiences as an 18-year-old assistant photo editor at a major daily college newspaper. With invaluable lessons from mentors like Chris Bourne, we navigate the complexities of client satisfaction, tough personnel decisions, and the importance of teamwork and continuous learning. This chapter is a testament to the unpredictable nature of business and the necessity of staying adaptable and respectful in professional environments.

We also dive into the creation of Legends of Sport, a collaborative venture aimed at honoring legendary athletes. Hear about the evolution of our podcast from audio to video, and the impactful projects like a book with Vanessa Bryant. Andrew offers insights into managing bandwidth and maintaining a work-life balance, emphasizing the importance of pacing oneself amidst professional and personal demands. This episode is filled with inspiring stories of passion, resilience, and the extraordinary power of collaboration.
