Last week I did a crazy thing and live streamed a photoshoot of the Milky Way - yes in real time - in front of almost 500 students!

I had no idea if I would actually be able to pull it off, but you know the saying - you can’t win the game if you don’t play it. 

So I decided to go all in and do it. And it worked so well.

Except the thing people didn’t see was how nervous I was leading up to it. And the best feedback I got is that people liked the little things that happened live that made them realize I make mistakes too (dead battery, bad framing, lens heater over the lens… you know ;) 

Which made me realize more than ever it’s important to put ourselves out there, especially when it can feel like we’re a bit out of our depth. You never know who you are helping.

But we can get tripped up because our brain starts doing things to keep us safe. Change = new = scary and probably will get us eaten by a tiger. It’s best just to keep doing what we know… right?

Our brain is amazing, and sneaky AF. 

This is a vulnerable episode for me, which in turn I hope helps you dig into these ideas for yourself - because that is where the magic happens and we can uplevel everything in our life, including our photography.

When you are done listening to this episode you will know:

• What it takes to get to your next level in photography
• Why you don’t have to be the best at something
• What your procrastination is really hiding
• Tools for how to master the mind game of photography
