Have you ever felt the pull to leave a secure, conventional career for a more exciting path of as an artist?

In this encore episode, I'm revisiting my conversation with photographer Nolis Anderson, whose journey is a powerful lesson in following your creative intuition.

Nolis shares the incredible story of how he pivoted from pursuing a Doctor of Pharmacy degree to building a full-time photography career, not with a grand plan, but through organic growth and the power of community.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone wondering if their 'hobby' could be something more.
