Ever wondered what it really takes to build a thriving creative business that lasts? On this episode of Outsmart the Hustle, I sit down with Jai Long, creative business coach, award-winning photographer, and host of the Make Your Break podcast, to talk about what we’ve both learned from saying yes in the face of challenges. 

This conversation is all about how the moments of risk, uncertainty, and adversity can actually become the turning points in your business. Together we share the lessons we’ve picked up along the way and why leaning into opportunity matters more than waiting for the “perfect time.” We dive into: 

• Why opportunity cost matters more than price when investing in yourself
• How community and collaboration can change the trajectory of your career
• The mindset shifts that separate thriving creatives from stuck ones
• Why experiences like workshops can’t be measured in dollars alone
• What saying yes, even when it feels hard, can teach us about growth

Whether you’re a creative entrepreneur, a wedding pro, or someone who’s ready to stop holding back, this episode will give you the perspective and encouragement to take your next big leap.
