If you’ve ever felt behind in your photography journey, like everyone else is growing faster, booking more clients, or finding success while you’re stuck—this episode is for you. In this powerful conversation, Dan and Laura sit down with photographer Neshaszda (@neshaszdazphotography) to talk about one of the most relatable struggles in the photography world: comparison.
They dive deep into the real, often-unspoken mindset challenges photographers face—especially when you're building a business in the age of social media. From battling imposter syndrome to feeling invisible online, this episode reminds photographers that slow growth is still growth—and that showing up with intention matters more than flashy success.
Neshaszda shares candidly about her early days, the moments she felt discouraged, and how she’s learned to stay consistent even when results weren’t immediate. They talk about why comparing yourself to other photographers will kill your creativity, how to navigate seasons of doubt, and how mindset work is often the key to long-term success.
Whether you're just starting your business or you're years in, this episode will meet you where you are—with encouragement, wisdom, and a reminder that you’re not alone in the ups and downs.
