In this episode, Coach JVB and Coach Jac break down how fitness photo shoots go far beyond the aesthetic. What starts as a fat loss journey often evolves into a powerful rite of passage that ignites confidence, self-belief, and a new vision of what's possible. Discover why so many women end up stepping in front of the camera—and how that one decision can change the course of their lives, careers, and even inspire them to coach others.

You’ll learn how the "why not me" mindset gets sparked by seeing real women featured in publications like Hot and Fit and STRONG, and why high-level coaches must leverage these transformations and features to build authority, drive content, and create new business opportunities.
