When it comes to pursuing passion projects, often times we don't know how to go about doing them and there's this tension between our "job" and our passion. For many freelancers, it's between two passions. Maybe the path to get to where you are has seemed unconventional, but the truth is it's that way for most people.
In this episode, Kristi Odom shares her story of first being an engineering student at Georgia Tech then photography taking ahold of her and never letting go. Kristi has been featured in Rolling Stone, The Smithsonian, Rangefinder, Fearless Photographers, even on a billboard in Times Square! She balances wedding photography with her passion of wildlife fine art and conservation.

So often when were starting our photography journey, the order of events is something like this: passion>job>lose passion>burn out. How do we keep the heart in what we do? How do we keep the passion?
It starts with us and how we're doing.
In this episode, Adam and Benj Haisch talk about how they avoid hiccups in weddings, how to find your niche, and how Benj strategies his Instagram into his business and marketing strategy.

What did you learn from this episode?
Jeremy Cowart is a fantastic mix of an idea master, but also someone who can execute on those ideas. From photographing Taylor Swift, the Kardashians, Garth Brooks, Tim Tebow and more celebrities than we can list, to launching the first hotel that gives back to those in need around the world, Jeremy is an incredible inspiration to me and many others.
In this episode, Jeremy and I talk about the beginning of his career, finding his first agent, different ideas that have failed and succeeded, and how to keep chasing ideas.
