001: Welcome to The Posers Podcast

Welcome to The Posers Podcast, where we skip the fluff, say the quiet parts out loud, and get real about what it takes to run a successful photography business. This isn’t your average, sugar-coated industry podcast—I'm here to talk about the raw, messy, and unfiltered truth behind photography, business, and everything in between. In this first episode, I’m sharing why I started this podcast, what you can expect, and—more importantly—what you won’t find here. If you’re looking for a toxically positive, cookie-cutter business advice show, this ain’t it. But if you want to dive deep into the psychology of powerful photography, the hard truths of building a creative business, and the real infrastructure behind success, then you’re in the right place. I also get personal about my journey—how a divorce shaped the way I built my business, why I refuse to play by the industry's rules, and what I’ve learned from nearly two decades in photography. Plus, we’re breaking down the biggest myths in the industry, calling out the BS, and setting the tone for what’s to come. In this episode, I cover:🔥 Why I named this podcast The Posers Podcast (hint: we’re all posing in one way or another)🔥 What this podcast isn’t—no fluff, no buzzwords, no nonsense (okay, maybe a little nonsense)🔥 The realities of running a photography business that no one talks about🔥 Why I care more about infrastructure than tips & tricks🔥 How a divorce was the wake-up call that pushed me to go all-in on my business🔥 A little rant on the toxic positivity and outdated advice that plagues our industry If you’re ready to ditch perfection, embrace the chaos, and build something incredible—let’s do this.
