083. Trusting What Comes Next: A Conversation with Iz Harris

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 83.

Today I’m sitting down with Iz Harris, who is basically my most favorite person on the internet. Iz is a filmmaker, writer, and mom who documents her life as she travels and eats her way through the world with (and sometimes without!) her family.

I found Iz and her husband Johnny through their youtube channel years ago, and I’m just so grateful that I get to talk to her and share our conversation with you guys!

Episode 83 Topics:
- Her journey from a young, married mormon mom to becoming one of DC’s most highly sought-after wedding videographers
- Her creative process
- How to travel with young kids
- How to know it’s time to take the next step in your creative career
- What Iz did to build her YouTube following

Episode 83 Product Picks:
BeeKeeper’s Naturals

In October 2019, I decided to write the entire first draft of my book in like... five days. It was intense. I knew I needed to be laser focused for those four days, so you better believe I loaded up on my Beekeeper’s Naturals goodies every day that week!

I took the B. Powered superfood honey to improve my focus and keep me alert. I also took a BLIXR vial each morning to clear out that brain fog.

Truthfully, two years ago I never could have written this book in four days. I didn’t have the mental clarity or the energy to do it. But my Beekeeper’s honey keeps me fueled and fog-free, and I can definitely notice a difference on the days I forget to take it.

Sleeping with a Stranger
Sleeping with a Stranger is officially available everywhere books are sold in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook. Since the book’s launch, I’ve been amazed by how it has been received. From being named a best seller by USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, Amazon and Barnes & Noble to incredibly personal and touching reviews from my amazing readers, it’s been such a wild journey!

Here’s one of my favorite reviews…

“I love the honesty of this book. It is real and raw and doesn't hold back; and that is why it is so mesmerizing. I could relate on so many levels and I know it must've been so hard to write about many of these very personal and taboo topics. I couldn't put the book down, it was such an easy and enlightening read. I highly recommend this to anyone who is soul searching or just looking for some perspective. Truth is better than fiction!”
