  • 158 ~ Recapping Los Angeles Fashion Week

    The weekend following Mr Olympia I went to Los Angeles California to take part in Los Angeles Fashion Week produced by Art Hearts Fashion.

    This would be my 5th time volunteering backstage with Art Hearts Fashion and it was one of the best shows I have been part of, including 2 I attended as part of the audience. 

    Walking in backstage was like a mini family reunion; seeing all of the staff, photographers, models, and other volunteers I had seen or met with at previous shows. This was a chance to reconnect the sort of family that only forms at events. 

    3 days of helping designers left and right, I was moving chairs, I was carrying cases of water, I was herding models, organizing clothing and accessories ....I was in my element.

    Hit play on this episode to hear all about my experience from the October 2025 Los Angeles Fashion Week produced by Art Hearts Fashion, and how it has played into how I will approach photography in the near future.

  • 156 ~ 2025 - The Year of New Opportunities

    Coming out of 2024 The Year of Events I had to decide what I wanted the theme of 2025 to be.

    After much thought, prayer, and introspective it became clear something big would be on the horizon for my life. Putting that into action, and backing it up with belief the entire way, I decided the theme for 2025 would be The Year of New Opportunities.

    I knew I would be looking for new opportunities everywhere I went, that I would be open to moving far beyond my comfort zone, that I would be leveling up in multiple areas of my life. I knew I be experiencing new opportunities throughout the entire year, and boy was I right. 

    Before Las Vegas was even on my radar. Before the day job offer came through. Before my dogs health issues started I had a deep since 2025 would bring many changes to my life, and I thought I was ready it.

  • 155 ~ 2024 - The Year of Events

    2024 was the first year I themed for my life; I called it The Year Of Events. 

    After years of FOMO I decided I would take action, and committed to attend the events in 2024. Despite whatever would come up, I would not let myself talk myself out of attending something I knew I wanted to be at. 

    I put together a plan, started using Notion to track the events, and got out from behind a keyboard to go connect in person.

    One of the best moves I have made in recent years. 

    Today's episode is all about 2024 The Year Of Events, what I learned and how it shaped my approach to attending events moving forward. 

    The takeaways from 2024 definitely played a huge part of 2025. Tune in and hear all about my approach to live events now and why I plan to double down on them in the future.

    This episode is a continuation of the series outlining what is next for JohnnyBoy Studios.

  • 153 ~ Locking In for the Remainder of the Year (2025)

    I have mentioned in a number of previous episodes being Locked-In for the remainder of the year. In this episode I want to outline exactly what that looks like and what I am focused on for the rest of 2025.

  • 152 ~ The Ballad of Karma and Simba

    Karma and Simba were huge parts of my life over the past 2 years, and since losing them in March and April I have felt their absents deeply.

    Soon after loosing Simba I wrote a letter to the doggie day care I got him from and in this episode of the podcast I want to share that letter with you.

  • 151 ~ The Shutdown of JohnnyBoy Studios

    In early 2023 I received advice around shutting down JohnnyBoy Studios, placing everything under construction, and relaunching bigger and better than before. 

    Well I did the first part, I shut everything down or let it die out in 2023. 

    Since then I have not pursued relaunching because it was "never the right time" and I always had "one more thing" to do or more important than bringing back any particular brand.

    In this episode I walk through the how and the why of shutting down JohhnyBoy Studios, and what it looks like today,

  • 150 ~ I Created A Static Contact Page

    Over the years I have launched many different creative projects on many different platforms, and often I would create an email address and landing page for each. 

    SoCal Live Music Review, 75 Hard Daily, & JohnnyBoy Studios to name a few.

    This led to me having many email inboxes, landing pages, hosting, URLs, etc. and trying to manage it all.

    In 2023 I shut down most of these pages in the process of focusing solely on JohnnyBoy Photos and the rebrand.

    With showing up so many different places and platforms on the internet I decided I wanted one central place people could come to while I rebuild. One place they could come from any podcast, any YouTube video, any mailing list, any landing page and still be able to contact me.

    Also that one central place would show the other platforms they be unaware of! 

    This all led to me creating a static contact page I would be able to redirect to no matter what platform or hosting I had live at any given moment. 

    In this episode I walk through in detail the process of creating the static contact page, the platform I chose to build it on, and how I am utilizing it today.

    Tune in, check it out, and shoot me a message about what you think!
