Show Notes:

Introduction of guest Stacy Pierce, Badass Lifestyle Personal + Business Branding Photographer. Stacy´s journey from food seller to renowned photographer was not a easy switch To get where I am today, I had to have a trade-off between money and time When Stacy had a seizure, she woke up to how her life was going and the choices she was making, questioning what she was doing at sacrifice of her health. Photography is very different from what it was about ten years ago. Stacy wanted to get to know her clients so she could cater the photoshoot for them. She shoots people from where they are now to where they want to go.

3 Key Points:

Knowing the things that don't fulfill you are important. For Stacy, it took a life-changing health scare to give her space to realize she wasn't doing what she loved. Stacy switches from a corporate job to owning her own photography business in pursuit of a life that fulfills her. It takes stepping away from what doesn't fulfill you to be able to have time to invest in what does.

Tweetable Quotes:

-       “I tell clients if you aren't willing to get uncomfortable, I can't shoot you. Because that is what this is, being uncomfortable with letting people see you, not that perfectly posed stuffy headshot with your hands on the hips. But making you laugh and giving you the freedom to get comfortable being uncomfortable.¨ –Stacy.

-       “Head up, phones down. hearts open.” –Stacy.
