Comparison is one of the biggest confidence killers in photography. In this episode, we talk about the comparison trap — why photographers constantly measure their work against others, how social media amplifies self-doubt, and what it does to creativity over time.

This episode is for photographers who care deeply about their craft but feel stuck, behind, or unsure of their creative voice. We explore mindset shifts, practical ways to refocus on your own work, and how simplifying your gear choices can help reduce creative overwhelm.

If you’ve ever questioned your style, your progress, or whether your photography is good enough, this conversation will feel familiar. This isn’t about shortcuts or trends — it’s about building confidence, clarity, and long-term growth as a photographer.

You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle of the story.

In this episode, I’m returning to the mic after a long pause to talk honestly about life, creativity, and making time for the work that matters. Over the past year, a lot has changed — becoming a father, losing my dad, recalibrating priorities, and learning what it really means to create space instead of waiting for time.

We talk about the long game of creativity, why human connection matters more than ever in an AI-saturated world, and the importance of owning your ideas instead of copying what already exists.

This isn’t a polished or scripted episode — it’s a real conversation about showing up, being present, and committing to the work, even when life gets busy.

If you’re a creative, business owner, or anyone trying to balance ambition, family, and life, this one’s for you.
