Up and Becoming

What did Ryan do when he was faced with the hardest season of his life?

My guest for this episode is Ryan Teague. Ryan is an award-winning photographer that runs a wedding and elopement business called Feather & Finch photography from his home in the Gold Coast. He creates some of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring photos I have ever seen!

Though this wasn't always the case and that's what Ryan and I have a conversation about. How his son Carter being born prematurely lead him to find his love for photography and become the person he is today. 

In this episode we talk about:

- Ryans story & the challenges he faced that lead him to pick up a camera
- How to own your style & find people that inspire you
- How giving back to others changed Ryan's perspective 
- Photography, being a beginner and dreaming BIG

Have you ever wanted to quit your 9-5 job to pursue your dream? Do you have this deep gut feeling you're made for something more than where you are right now?

Well in this episode I chat to Benny Hi...  A friend of mine who quit his job to completely immerse himself in an intensive design course to transform himself into becoming a sought after designer who is working with some of the best agencies in Australia. 

Benny is what he likes to call a multi-disciplinary freelance creative (this basically means he likes to do more than one thing), self-diagnosed introvert & all-round quirky fellow who will create a personal commission for your favourite household pet.

I loved having a chat and hearing Benny's Up & Becoming story. He's such a talented, funny and interesting fella so I know you'll leave with something that will equip you to take your next step towards your big ambitions. 

In this episode we talk about:
- How Benny quit his job to pursue a career in design.
- Being an Introvert & creating quirky drawings with your inner child
- How having support can make or break you when chasing your dreams
- Creativity, design & having your own taste
