what happens if success DISAPPEARS? ft scott proposki

Scott Proposki has photographed for National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, HBO, the White House, and so many massive brands and teams, and then experienced a complete business and identity reset when the pandemic hit.We talk about what it’s really like to lose momentum after building something big, how identity can quietly get wrapped up in our work, and why sustainable success for photographers has so much more to do with leadership, clarity, and problem solving than just “good photos.”Scott shares the behind the scenes of rebuilding from scratch, why comparison can derail even the most experienced creatives, and how focusing on one thing (instead of 32 ideas at once 🙃) can change everything.If you’re a photographer who feels stuck, overwhelmed, burnt out, or just unsure of what the next step should be, this episode is such an encouraging reminder that your story, your experience, and your perspective actually matter more than you think. This one is full of mindset shifts, practical wisdom, and a lot of “oh wow, I needed that” moments.You’re going to love Scott and the heart behind what he’s building._______🎉MENTORSHIPSIf you’re craving direction in your photo business, want real, honest guidance, or just wanna hang with me in person—my 1:1 mentorships are open (in person or virtual)! https://www.alexblakeeducation.com/servicesLET’S CONNECT 🫶Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexblakephotoTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/AlexblakephotoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexblakephotographySTUFF I SWEAR BY 🫡My Gear, Bible Stuff, + Life Faves: https://www.amazon.com/shop/alexblakeottoPass Gallery – 1 Month Free: https://alexblakephotography.passgallery.com/referralAI Editing (30-Day Free Trial): https://aftershoot.com/friends/?ref=alexottoHoneyBook Discount (Get organized!): https://share.honeybook.com/alex89263Merch, Presets, & More: https://www.alexblakeeducation.com/PHOTO CAMP INFO 🌊⛺️  https://www.photocampinfo.comDON’T FORGET! 🎙️ Rate, review & subscribe to the pod to stay inspired + support the show!
