You can be a successful artist and a successful business owner In this episode of *Shifting Focus*, I sit down with Arkansas-based photographer Myles Witt Boyer for a candid conversation about the balance between art and business, and how to succeed in both.

Whether you’re a photographer, videographer, or any creative entrepreneur, this episode will give you practical tips on building a profitable business without losing your passion for the craft. What started as a quick chat turned into a deep dive into: Finding the balance between creativity and profitability, Mindset shifts that lead to long-term success, How to build a sustainable photography or creative business, Lessons from years in the wedding and portrait industry. If you’ve ever felt torn between creating beautiful work and making a living from it, this episode will show you how art and business can work together.
