Cashing in on Your Passion while Staying True to Yourself, with Guest, James Patrick, Award-Winning Fitness Photographer, Author, and Founder of FITposium EP109


Just because you are good at something doesn’t mean you have to do it for a living.

My lord do I wish someone told me this early in life!

So many people (me included) turn what we are good at into a career, never asking ourselves if we are truly passionate about it or enjoy it.

We may love the awards, praise, and accolades from doing these things we are good at or even naturally gifted at, but that doesn’t mean it’s what we are meant to do.

I am naturally great at conflict resolution and crafting corporate documents, while these are great skill sets, I am not passionate about either, in fact I don’t enjoy them at all.

The magic happens when we align our gifts with our passions. My guest on today’s podcast episode found that magic and he’s going to share how you can do the same.

EP 760 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (THE BODY) How to Get Your Energy, Body, & Skin Snatched- Even If You Feel Unmotivated right now

If your energy feels inconsistent, your body no longer responds the way it used to, and your skin seems to reflect stress more than confidence, this episode explains why that is happening at the identity and nervous system level.

The 2026 Glow Up Protocol begins with the body because every habit, every discipline pattern, and every glow up is controlled by internal safety signals, not motivation.

This episode is part of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, a 6-part identity reset covering the body, the bank account, the business, the brain, the being, and the boundaries. It is designed for burnt out high achievers who are ready to stop pushing harder and start becoming the version of themselves that success actually sticks to.

EP 759 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (THE BRAND) How to Create a Magnetic Personal Brand That Matches Your True Self

Your personal brand is not your logo, your colors, or your social media bio. It is the identity you live from every single day. It is the story you tell about who you are, what you stand for, and what you believe is possible for your life.

This episode is the starting point of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, a six part identity transformation playbook designed for high achievers who feel burnt out, disconnected, and ready to deliberately craft a life that feels aligned instead of draining. This is a completely different way to approach personal growth, because nothing changes sustainably until your identity changes first.

Your brand is the hub of the wheel. It is the center that everything else spins from. Your body, your brain, your business, and your relationship with money will never feel stable if the story you tell about yourself is outdated.
