The Cath Path

Episode 03: Show Notes.

“I don't think you have to follow a straight line in life. You just have to follow your instinct and then follow what you're passionate about and just trust the process.” These are the words of today’s guest Cath Simard who clearly practices what she preaches. Cath was studying biomedical sciences when her modeling career led her into the arts, but it wasn’t until she followed her instincts to Australia where she spent two years banana farming that Cath discovered her passion and talent for photography. Today Cath is a great photographer and composite artist who leads multi-day workshops around the world. She's an adventurer and a Sony Ambassador. Her work has been featured in Sony Alpha Universe, DP Review, Art of Visuals, Open Skies Magazine, and Paragon Journal. Her clients include DJI, North Face, and Duracell. Today Cath joins us to discuss all things art and NFTs. Cath explains her life’s mantra, the best advice she’s ever been given, and shares her appreciation for the work of some other great artists. Tune in to find out what she thought of NFTs when she first heard about them, and why she thinks it’s important to take your time and not necessarily follow the trends. For all this and more, tune in today!

“It was just very freeing to explore the mountains and go on hikes and I met a lot of incredible people. That's how I started to take more photos of the landscape and that's how I discovered my passion for the mountains.” — @cathsimard [0:15:16]

“I don't think you have to follow a straight line in life. You just have to follow your instinct and then follow what you're passionate about and just trust the process, because if you're trying to always project and plan everything, maybe you might miss some opportunities.” — @cathsimard [0:16:19]

“I think that that's why I've always been comfortable changing directions, from science to fashion to farm working to photography to NFT's, because I feel that when you're truly putting in the work and time and energy into something, there's no reason why you will not succeed.” — @cathsimard [0:21:19]

“I like to remind myself that even if I'm not in a good place, or even if I don't feel like it, I’ve got to stay positive. I really think that this mindset has a huge impact in my life and personal and business-wise.” — @cathsimard [0:23:12]
