Chef Thomson

There are a lot of misconceptions about myself and what I do that tend to be fairly consistent. One of the most popular is the idea that I can not be a “content creator” and also pursue a career as a chef. Just because I’m the first person to ever do this, doesn’t mean it isn’t possible.

My camera being on my chest, watching me work does not impact my focus or my skills. I have been able to prove that to everyone I’ve worked with, who’s thought the same. If you ever have the pleasure of working with me someday, I can demonstrate that for you as well.

If you drive truck for a living, and you install a dash camera to record your driving, that shouldn’t cause you to get into an accident. The camera shouldn’t impede your ability to get from point A to point B. If it does, you need to get better.

I don’t ever need to stop what I’m doing in the kitchen to set up lights and tripods. I don’t need to even press record and stop recording. There are voice commands. There’s a reason why professional athletes wear cameras and have no issues performing death defying stunts. Just look at the Red Bull account. They are focused, and trained.

I don’t record a video and just post the raw file. I used to, and it doesn’t get views. It’s not what makes people famous on social media. I spend hours of my own time outside of work editing and producing content. It’s not something that takes any attention away from what I’m doing at work.
