 Feeling stuck digging without seeing results? You’re not alone, friend. In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes journey of building my business from nothing—no connections, no funding, no experience. Plus, I reveal the mindset shifts that helped me pivot from photographer to CEO and my 1-on-1 convo with Gary Vaynerchuk about building my holding company. If you’re in the foundation phase, this is your reminder: you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. Let’s build something incredible. 🚀
