LEVEL UP: A Wedding Photography + Videography Podcast
245: 2025 Wrapped: What Worked, What Didn’t, and What We’re Taking Into 2026
This episode is a year-end exhale and a mindset reset.
We are closing out 2025 with an honest reflection on the growth, risks, and decisions that shaped the year. From expanding revenue beyond weddings, to building League, to redefining what it means to work hard without burning out, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what real evolution in business actually looks like.
If you’ve been feeling torn between wanting more and wondering if you’re doing too much, this episode will hit home. We talk about diversification as a path to freedom, networking with intention, pricing with logic instead of emotion, and why loving your work isn’t something to apologize for.
If you’ve been setting goals too small.
If fear has been keeping you comfortable.
If you’re waiting for the “right time” to go all in.
Let this be your reminder: momentum comes from movement.
2026 is around the corner.
You don’t need permission.
You just need to decide to GO FOR IT.
