In this solo journal-style episode of Alien Eyez Photos Industry Talk, photographer and creative entrepreneur Jackson (Steve Jackson) breaks down the daily and weekly habits that help him stay focused, grounded, and consistent while balancing business, family, creativity, and life.

This episode is a transparent look at how structure creates freedom—from calendar discipline and limiting daily tasks to journaling, rest, movement, and protecting personal time.
