In this episode, we challenged ourselves to create an entire episode without mentioning photography, not even once! What seemed simple at first turned out to be a tough but rewarding experiment. The episode serves as an experiment and demonstration of how it’s okay to take a pause from your duties, even when an audience has come to expect something specific from you.
This rare break gave us the chance to check in on each other as friends, leading to off the cuff discussions about favorite books, Seth learning Norwegian, Aaron rediscovering his love for music, and much more. We talk about the art of play, toe yoga (yes you read that right), raising a Husky, and how stepping away from your passions can spark new inspiration.
We’ll return to photography-focused episodes next week, but for now, enjoy this refreshing detour. Got a topic for us? Drop a comment in Spotify, DM, or email, and remember to rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!
Expect to Learn:
- Why you should try to do one thing you did as a kid every single day.
- How stepping away from a primary focus can inspire fresh ideas.
- How to create and invite more joyful moments into your life.
- About tons of great books to help you navigate life’s challenges and peak your curiosity.
