In this episode, I sit down with Business Blueprint student Jalen Moore, who went from roughly $12K in annual revenue to $168K+ booked in 2026 while preparing to leave a nine-year Air Force career.

This conversation is such a powerful reminder: if you’re good at something you’re NOT passionate about, imagine what could happen when you put that same energy into something you ACTUALLY love.

The middle class is disappearing... and photographers who keep doing what everyone else is doing are going to feel it first. "

Average" is going to feel like POOR in the photography industry in a few years, and if not, it already does.First time home buyer age has now risen to a whopping FORTY YEARS OLD.

This is one of the most personal episodes I've ever recorded. If I could sit across the table from my 24-year-old self, this is exactly what I'd say. If you're tired of surviving, settling, or wondering why your business still isn't creating the life you want, don't skip this conversation.

This is where you turn the car around.

Is getting the shot "for Instagram" a bad thing? Is taking BTS content at a wedding unprofessional?

In this episode, I’m tackling a topic that’s been making waves in the photography industry: should you create for your clients or for your marketing?

I share why great client service and great marketing aren’t competing priorities. They can actually strengthen each other when approached with wisdom and balance.

• Why “client vs. marketing” is a false choice

• The value of sharing your work publicly

• BTS content at weddings: when it works and when it doesn’t

• Reading the room and serving clients well

• Avoiding the starving artist mentality

• Building a business that creates impact and freedom

Marketing isn’t the villain. When done well, it helps you serve more people, grow your business, and maximize the God-given gifts you’ve been given.
