In this episode of the Creativ Rise Podcast, Joey interviews Christy Speers (formerly Christy Johnston) about what it really looks like to build a thriving, 6 figure wedding and brand based creative business — and why she almost let fear keep her from the life she has now.

They unpack:

✅ How Christy built a business with 7-year long retainers

✅ Her pivot from international weddings to working with global brands

✅ What it’s like getting hundreds of inquiries a year — and how she handled it

✅ Her role in helping launch a clean water non-profit

✅ And the hard lessons she’s learned along the way

PLUS:

→ Her biggest wedding shoot disaster (and how she saved it)

→ Why she left weddings — and what she’s doing to go back

→ How she structures shoots that lead to repeat brand clients

→ The biggest lie creatives believe about self-employment

This is one of the most honest convos we’ve had on the show — if you’re a creative struggling with fear, indecision, or how to scale smart, Christy’s story will encourage you!

A different type of episode this week - we put Joey on the hot seat. 👏 In this episode, we’re firing off the realest, rawest questions about what it actually takes to build a 6-figure content agency from the ground up from the age of 14 and all the other questions we want to ask Joey, no holds barred. 👊

Joey went from shooting videos solo to running a brand and content agency — and today, he’s spilling everything. The creative chaos, the dream clients (and the nightmares), what he’d never do again, and what he wishes every creative knew before going all-in.

We cover:

• Joey’s biggest flop
• The tools, systems & strategy behind scaling
• What he wishes every creative knew before starting
• Rapid-fire Q&A that gets honest fast

If you’re a photographer/videographer, media creative, or building your own agency — you’ll love this episode.

Should you quit your job and go full-time in your creative business? Going full time is one of the biggest—and scariest decisions you’ll ever face. But here’s the truth:

It’s not an emotional decision. It’s a logical one.

In this episode, Joey & Christy break down the exact framework they’ve used (and taught hundreds of creatives) to confidently know when to leap—and how to avoid the 3 biggest mistakes that ruin most people’s transitions.

You’ll learn:

• Why your 9-5 might be capping your potential (and your income)
• The safety net every creative needs before going full-time
• How to know if you’ve got a real business—or just a hobby with hope

If you’re stuck between security and freedom, this episode is your roadmap to making the move!
