341 - Remember when you started your photography business because it was supposed to be fun? Somewhere between the marketing, the follow-ups, and the revenue stress, that fun went missing. This week Heather Lahtinen and I get into eight ways to hack your brain back to creativity and joy, even when things feel hard.

What to Listen For

  • Why fun in business is not optional
  • The one trap that quietly drains your creativity
  • How to celebrate wins that aren't money
  • Three questions to ask before bed
  • The trick to quitting that keeps you going
  • Why creativity begets more creativity
  • The hat, haircut, or tattoo decision test
  • How to interrupt the everything-is-terrible spiral
  • One thing for your business, one for your soul
  • Better questions that rewire a stuck brain

The photographers who last aren't the ones who never struggle. They're the ones who know how to bring themselves back to joy and possibility. Tune in and find out which of the eight shifts feels most like you, then go try it.
