   057 - Raising 3 Kids, Running a Business & Homeschooling: A BTS Look at Our Days

   What does it actually look like to raise three kids, homeschool, run a business, work from home, and still have a life? We’re sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what’s worked for us, what hasn’t, and what we’ve learned after nearly 10 years of parenting while running our business.

   056 - The Truth About Style, Taste & Presets w/ Austin Trenholm

   This week Brad & Jen sit down with Austin Trenholm, a wedding photographer of nearly two decades and the co-founder of Good Light Presets. Between shooting weddings across the country and building editing tools with his business partner Cody, Austin has had a rare front row seat to how thousands of photographers edit, the trends they chase, and the styles they grow into. That vantage point makes him the perfect person to untangle a question every photographer wrestles with: what is style, how do you actually develop it, and what is the difference between borrowing a look and building a voice? Austin's throughline is that YOU are the differentiator. We are all shopping at the same retailers, using the same gear and the same presets, so style is less about the ingredients than how you combine them. What starts as a talk about editing turns into decisiveness, boundaries, creative burnout, and the freedom to experiment without blowing up your business. We also explore: Why you, not your gear or your presets Editing like a home chef From a camera at fourteen to nearly twenty years behind the lens How Goodlight started Why your voice, not one rigid style, is the thing that should stay consistent The "I could never wear that" story we tell ourselves, and how to drop it A simple reference-card trick to commit to a look and stop second guessing Why boredom and monotony cause burnout as much as overwork Chasing timelessness while working in an industry built on trends Why no AI culling: your voice lives in choosing every frame yourself Connect with Austin Website: https://www.trenholmphoto.com/ (https://www.trenholmphoto.com/) Instagram: @trenholmphoto (https://www.instagram.com/trenholmphoto) Good Light Presets: https://goodlightpresets.com/ (https://goodlightpresets.com/) @goodlightpresets (https://www.instagram.com/goodlightpresets) Connect with Us Join Purpose & Profit (https://learn.bradandjen.com/purpose-and-profit-course) – A Roadmap to 10k Weddings Apply for the Mastermind Program (https://learn.bradandjen.com/mastermind-application) - High level 1:1 creative coaching & community.

   055 - On Belief, Bold Moves, and 3 Years That Changed Everything w/ Fulton Events

   What if the biggest opportunities in your business don't come because you're finally "ready"… but because you've spent years preparing before they ever arrived? This week we're joined by Kellie and Caitlin of Fulton Events for one of our favorite conversations to date. On the surface, it's the story of three years that changed everything. But underneath, it's a conversation about believing in a future before anyone else can see it. About making decisions before there's proof they'll pay off. About saying "yes" when the opportunity feels just a little bigger than you're ready for. Over the course of just 3 years—while raising three young kids—they transformed their business through intentional relationships, strategic investments, countless uncomfortable decisions, and a willingness to build the business they wanted long before they actually needed it. If you've ever wondered whether the work you're doing today is actually leading somewhere… this conversation is a reminder that growth rarely looks dramatic while you're living it. It looks like showing up. Again. And again. And again.
