002: The Audacity Tho

After launching Episode 1, I’m feeling fully exposed—like season-one-Real-Housewife-level unfiltered—but that’s exactly why I started this podcast. In this episode, I dive into the scrappy, untamed beginnings of my journey, the three guiding words that shaped my business, and why audacity is the single most important trait for building a brand that actually stands out. Being audacious isn’t just about confidence—it’s about taking bold, sometimes terrifying leaps that set you apart from the masses. I’m sharing how I made fearless decisions early in my career (including pricing my very first wedding above market rate) and why standing firm in your worth is non-negotiable. So if you’ve ever felt like you’re playing small, this episode is your sign to step up, own your brilliance, and maybe even fuck some shit up in the best way possible. In this episode, I cover:🔥 The naked vulnerability of starting something new (and why it’s worth it)🔥 My childhood as a feral, dirt-covered kid—and how that scrappiness built my business🔥 The three guiding words that have shaped every decision I’ve made: Authority, Grace, and Audacity🔥 Why audacity is the #1 key to long-term success in business🔥 The wild story of how I booked my first wedding at the top of my market (with zero experience)🔥 Why what you choose not to do in your business matters just as much as what you say yes to🔥 A challenge for you: Welcome more audacity into your world and start making bolder moves Timestamps:00:00 Welcome back to The Posers Podcast01:00 Feeling exposed after launching the podcast03:00 Real Housewives, reality TV, and showing up unfiltered05:00 My wild, scrappy childhood and how it shaped me09:00 The three guiding words that drive my business12:00 Why audacity fuels real business growth18:00 My first wedding booking—and why I refused to start at the bottom23:00 A challenge for you: Step into your own audacity25:00 Final thoughts & closing 🔗 Connect with Jodi:web: www.j-annephotography.comig: www.instagram.com/j.annephotography 📣 Help Spread the Word!If you loved this episode, subscribe, rate, and review!
