Why Quitting Your Job Too Early Can Kill Your Creative Dream
Most creatives are told to quit their job and go all in - but what if that advice is actually destroying their dream?In this episode of The Steve Reynoso Podcast, I sit down with my friend Dean, the photographer behind In Dean We Trust, to talk about the real side of building a creative business.Dean opens up about almost quitting photography after comparing himself to other photographers, why chasing fast money can ruin creatives, and why keeping a 9-5 job can actually help fund your dream instead of killing it. We also talk about faith, family, gratitude, building a brand people trust, dealing with difficult clients, perfectionism, social media pressure, and why stability matters when you’re trying to grow as an entrepreneur.This conversation is for photographers, content creators, entrepreneurs, and anyone trying to build something without losing themselves in the process.Dean’s story is a reminder that success does not always come from quitting everything overnight. Sometimes the smartest move is staying grounded, building slowly, and protecting your peace while you sharpen your craft.Topics we cover:Photography as a businessWhy photography is not fast moneyQuitting your job too earlyBuilding a creative career with stabilityComparison as a creativeFaith, gratitude, and family supporteDealing with clients as a photographerPersonal branding and social mediaWhy creatives need patienceThe truth about chasing your dreamFollow Dean:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/indeanwetrust/Subscribe for more conversations with creators, entrepreneurs, and people chasing something bigger.New episodes every Tuesday.Follow Steve Reynoso : Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/steve_reynoso/Tiktok : https://www.tiktok.com/@stevereynoso_?lang=enFacebook : https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569366936080LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevereynoso/Podcast Links:Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3jBdBHrS3SqJSaoDKhtEjC?si=0e1e12e36a664745Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/notes-of-success/id1782016727Podcast Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLTFZ6BFyKFJy_lfK4tk07nZEJaKflLGr

Are We Happier Now, or Just More Distracted
This episode isn’t about clubs or interviews it’s a raw conversation about life. We sit down and talk about:Why growing up felt different and why our childhood might’ve been the last “real” one.The pressure of chasing goals but never feeling content even when you’re winning.Nostalgic stories of wild pregames, real friendships, and the way social media changed everything.How support from friends (or the lack of it) hits harder than views and likes.Dating apps, attention spans, and why nothing feels as fun as it used to.If you’ve ever looked back and thought “things don’t hit the same anymore”, this conversation is going to resonate. It’s real, unfiltered, and a reminder that even while chasing success, we all need to slow down and take in the moments that matter.We’re getting close to 1,000 subscribers, so if you’ve been enjoying the podcast - hit that subscribe button and help push us past the milestone.🙏 Thank you for all the love and support so far - it truly means the world.Justin Gord : Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/jgsview_/Lotus Rooftop :Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/lotusrooftopnj/Follow Steve Reynoso : Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/stevereynoso_/Tiktok : https://www.tiktok.com/@stevereynoso_?lang=enFacebook : https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569366936080LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevereynoso/Podcast Links:Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3jBdBHrS3SqJSaoDKhtEjC?si=0e1e12e36a664745Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/notes-of-success/id1782016727Podcast Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLTFZ6BFyKFJy_lfK4tk07nZEJaKflLGr
