When the world feels dark, create anyway.

2/25/2026
If you’ve felt heavy lately… distracted… angry… stuck in the scroll - you’re not alone. But what if the world doesn’t need more consumers right now? What if it needs CREATORS? In this episode, I share why some of history’s greatest artists created their most meaningful work in the middle of chaos, and why your small, everyday work might matter more than you think. Put the phone down. Pick the work back up. Create. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the noise, this is for you. ⭐️Nathan’s Signature Coaching Program:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THE BUSINESS BLUEPRINT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐️ Questions about the Business Blueprint?

She almost quit. Then she doubled her income. (Student Story with Olivia Tarkowski)

2/18/2026
"I’m giving myself one more year… and if by the start of 2026 this is still literally going nowhere… maybe this isn’t what I’m supposed to be doing." That's what Olivia Tarkowski (today's guest) said to her husband in January of 2025. Good grief did her story take a turn! Today, I'm joined by Business Blueprint student named Olivia, a wedding photographer who went from struggling to book consistently (she floated the idea of quitting at one point!) — to closing her books, doubling her income, and hitting 70–80% booking rates in just a few months. ...oh and then she hit $100k in 2025. We talk candidly about leaving corporate, walking through uncertainty, rebuilding her brand, and what changed when she finally surrendered control of her business to God. Her story is a real life story of faith, persistence, and breakthrough. If you’re in a slow season, questioning your calling, or wondering if this business can actually work — this episode is for you. ⭐️Nathan’s Signature Coaching Program:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THE BUSINESS BLUEPRINT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐️ Questions about the Business Blueprint?

How this Photo/Video duo went from burnout to $200K. (Business Blueprint Student Interview)

2/11/2026
Today I’m sitting down with Josh and Lily of McKinley Made Photo & Film(Wedding Photographer and Videographer team), Business Blueprint students who went from being overworked, underpriced, and stretched thin — to breaking $200K in a year as a photo + video duo. We talk honestly about what actually changed: raising prices, refining their client experience, rebuilding confidence, investing before it felt comfortable, and trusting God through the uncertainty of entrepreneurship. No theory. No hype. Just a behind-the-scenes look at what growth really looked like for them. If you want proof that change is possible — this episode delivers.

Friends & family discounts, haters, parenthood, sharing your faith online, & more. (Q&A episode)

2/4/2026
You asked, and I answered on this Q&A episode. In this rapid-fire Q&A, I’m tackling the real questions photographers are thinking but rarely say out loud: family discounts, industry haters, how to get in with planners, personal branding beyond Instagram, and how to create boundaries when you’re booking months out. We also go into some juicy stuff: politics + pressure, sharing faith in business, and a nuanced take on tithing vs. generosity as a Christian entrepreneur. If you want an industry real talk (without the fluff), this one’s for you. ⭐️Nathan’s Signature Coaching Program:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THE BUSINESS BLUEPRINT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐️ Questions about the Business Blueprint?

When clients keep choosing the cheap photographer over you...

1/21/2026
The most discouraging feeling (or one of them) is when photography clients come at you saying things like "Sorry, you're just a bit out of our budget, and we decided to go with another photographer for our wedding instead. But we wish you the best in your business, anyway!" Feels like a gut punch, doesn't it? Let's break down how to manage something like this, and what to do or think when this happens (and keeps happening). ⭐️Nathan’s Signature Coaching Program:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THE BUSINESS BLUEPRINT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐️ Questions about the Business Blueprint?

"Everyone is an artist until rent is due."

I heard this quote recently ("everyone is an artist until rent is due") and it got me thinking... Is this true? Are we all just purebred artists at our core?
