    Glory to God!!🙌🏻🙌🏻
    Nathan, please don’t ever stop sharing the truth of God’s word and educating on business. I’ve never found a combo like this and it’s incredibly encouraging that you don’t shy away from hard topics. As a creative, sometimes it can feel I need to compromise convictions to stay relevant and every time I listen to your podcast, I am reminded that is not so. This podcast is an absolute blessing!! Thank you!🙌🏻

    A powerful listen for those wishing to build a fruitful and righteous life in their business
    Nathan, your manifestations podcast nearly brought me to tears. I’ve been a listener for 6 or so months, but your God-focused content is what sticks out to me the most. I also struggle with self doubt and self reliance and this episode was so uplifting and reminded me to lift my eyes to the Lord. Becoming more like Christ should be our only crucial goal. Everything else is secondary. I should not be wringing my hands over building a website. There is so scripture to enrich and guide our lives that people miss out on because they can’t put self centered goals on pause. You’ve forced me to pause today and consider these things. I can’t wait for more of your content and I hope you and your family flourish!

    So appreciate this!
    I really appreciate this podcast and the time that Nathan takes to share all of this information and encouragement. It has truly contributed to motivating me as I’ve had some discouraging moments pursuing my photography business. I religiously listen to this podcast As I always learn something. What a genuine dude and anytime I’m listening to it it feels like just one of my good friends giving me advice. Thanks again!

    So Grateful
    I have been listening to Passion with Purpose for forever! The thing that drew me to the podcasts was Nathan’s way of viewing business ownership as being the manager for the Lords business. As I’ve applied what I’m learning through the podcast, I’m consistently seeing so much growth. This podcast has adjusted my mindset to help me recognize that I CAN make this a career and be successful. I’m so grateful for the lessons I’ve learned through each episode.

    My fave podcast ever!
    I seriously can’t say enough good about this podcast. I’ve been doing photography full time for 8 years now. After having two babies back to back, I was really struggling to keep up with my business and life. I’ve been listening to every episode for a few months now, and implementing where I can. I have felt so inspired by the ideas on this podcast and it has really given me the push to dive back in with my business. I am so excited that in January alone I booked $20,000 worth of weddings, my biggest month yet. I think every photographer and entrepreneur should give this podcast a listen.

    Thank you!
    Episode 173 is amazing!! Helped me so much where my mind is right now!
  • Felisha Knapp
    Perfect for people running a business!
    So I absolutely love listening to Nathan’s podcast. With having two kids I always turn it on during nap time and try to take away as many business tips as I can. Honestly, I think his tips go beyond photography. The podcast can easily be applied to anyone running a small business, and in fact I have applied it to my husband’s business as well, which is legal tech! I highly suggest listening to these!

    Amazing, new, and eye opening perspectives
    Not only does Nathan give new and eye opening perspectives about my business, but he also sprinkles in ACTUAL facts and information. HOW he has the time to research this stuff, run a business, coach, AND be a dad is WILD. I also love that his episodes aren’t an hour long commercial like some podcasts!! I’ve implemented tips and things that have really helped me grow. I also love that he’s open about his faith and incorporates it in his episodes!! Praying I get to do his coaching some day, I can’t imagine how much further my business would go! Keep up the amazing work!
  • Emmgrce
    The best Biz Podcast ever
    I’m really thankful that Nathan pours so much of his heart into his podcast. I’ve a business blueprint student and his podcast episodes are an extension of the goodness he pours into his classes. He’s very knowledgeable, he’s very intentional, and he does a great job of hearing people, validating their experience while also challenging them and giving them examples and homework to better themselves. He’s kind, positive, and he makes me feel safe as an entrepreneur trying to better by own business

    I am loving this fresh perspective!
    Nate has blessed me so much with his content, values, beliefs, strategies, insight, etc. I could go on and on, but the biggest thing to me is how bold he is with his faith in a world that shuns Christianity. It just blows my mind, and has made me more bold in my faith. Nate, it is obvious how the Lord has His hand on you, and has blessed you and your business. He has def put you in my path for a reason! I’m so excited to be in BB with you and can’t wait to learn more, even after being in the industry for 15 years! I truly believe you can never stop learning, and I’m loving your fresh perspective!

    Can’t Get Enough
    Don’t walk - run and listen to this show! The value I get out of each episode as a pro photographer (of more than a decade) is incredible. Nate is so real, so smart, and so relatable and he gives away this info for free! Thank you! The only thing missing is more episodes of juicy goodness!
  • haicoul
    THE BEST!
    I listen to a lot of photography podcast and this is so far my favorite! Such great insight, advice, and the guests on the show are so good. I am absolutely loving the newer episodes of fellow photographers calling in with questions. I’d love to hear an episode like that every month. Nathan has such an easy voice to listen to and seems like such a down to earth guy. I love hearing all of the successes of fellow photographers in my industry. Would highly recommend!
  • Shaynecenterphoto
    My favorite podcast in the industry!!!
    WOW!! This podcast has changed so much of my mindset and outlook on my business. Nathan is such a blessing to me in this season of my photography career. And such an incredible FREE education opportunity. The way the Lord shines through Nathan and all that he is teaching is so evident. I love that he incorporates his faith into his podcast and his business. So so good!! Couldn’t recommend listing more!
  • oh shoot review
    THE BEST
    This podcast has truly changed my outlook on my business. The way nathan talks realistically about business but brings in faith is exactly what I was looking for. In a market that can be very superficial, Nathan brings Gods light into it! I would love to be coached by him someday, if his podcast is this good I can only imagine how good his coaching would be!!! You rock nathan keep being a good steward of your gift!
  • KPellerin
    Great Podcasts for entrepreneurs!
    I can always count on Nathan to put out a great episode packed with valuable information. I love how he incorporated scripture and Christian living into this one especially. 🙏🏻

    The Best Way to Gain Knowledge While Running Your Business!!
    It’s wild but I never really had gotten into podcasts before, let alone ones that would help me gain more knowledge about my business. I would always start my days editing and put on a Music playlist and go about my workday. Finally one day, a friend recommended for me to start listening to podcasts. I instantly remembered Nathan had one because I follow him on Instagram so I decided to check it out. AND WOW! I am SO glad I did. It has been so refreshing to listen to podcasts based on business as a photographer and I have already gained so many tips from him and the guests that he has had on the show. THANKS NATHAN!!!

    Life changing
    I first heard about Nathan on The Heart & Hustle Podcast and ever since then my whole perspective on my business has changed. Just listening to this podcast I doubled my bookings and gained more confidence in my business. I read any books he recommends and it is so incredibly amazing to know that there are other resources we can look into as entrepreneurs to grow our business. I hope one day that I can afford the business blueprint and his courses but for now this podcast is incredible and I definitely will recommend this podcast and recommend this podcast anybody I know.
  • Katiageorge

    A gold mine of helpful information
    Nathan thank you so much for pouring your heart and soul into everything you! You give actionable advice that is always unbiased which is so appreciated. You are building a community that is supportive, driven, and successful! I am so grateful that you center your faith around your life and business. I always thought I couldn’t do that in a creative space, but you have given me the confidence to do that. Thank you xo
  • Toriablaine
    Nate’s mindset is SO EMPOWERING
    I love how candid, straightforward and positive Nate is. He gives REAL business advice, lays out clear expectations you can have for your business, and is so encouraging! I feel like I just got a 35 minute pep talk from my best friend!
  • Reannakaitlin
    The most helpful podcast!!!
    I can't tell you how beneficial Nathan's podcast has been for me personally and for my business. This podcast has been like a community for me by being able to hear his tips, advice, and conversations with other successful photographers. He always covers the topics you question to yourself and wish you could just ask someone!! Wether you're just starting out or a seasoned photographer — you NEED to be a listener 🤍
  • Franccesca Ramirez
    Love your podcast! I listen while editing!
    New podcast listener here & so far I am loving everything you are sharing! You speak from a real & RAW approach & it’s so encouraging & inspiring! Keep showing up & sharing episodes! Stopped listening to give you a review as you mentioned in the episode 😂 Thank you so much👏🏼👏🏼
  • ZSizzleGo
    Great show!
    I quit my full-time corporate job two months ago to pursue my photography full-time, FINALLY after four years. I’m only on my second episode, but I’m enjoying it a lot! I’m really in a space where I need to learn as much as possible and grow my business!
  • Terry Carrelli
    Great podcast
    I started listening to your podcast last year searching for anything with photography. I’ve been into photography since 7th grade & got my first 35mm in 11th grade. I have been a photographer for several years and got back into it in 2017 as a family portrait photographer, some weddings and events. I listen to your podcast at my job & it makes my day. It took me a while, but I’m finally all caught up. I don’t know if this is the place to add this, but I was wondering if you will ever be doing a segment on dealing with customers who don’t read their contract, especially when it comes to taking photos while you’re taking them. I’ve been dealing with a lot of customers who take cell phone photos while I am & by the time the kids get to me they’re done with photos. Or uncles taking them and they’re all looking the other way. Thank you, Nathan.
  • Mr Mentos
    Great information and fun personality
    I’ve been listening to Nathan’s podcast for a few months and he finally got my review haha not because the information wasn’t good but because by now the value provided has been exceptional. I’m a portrait photographer and I enjoy listening to those who are running successful businesses but not everyone can teach and motivate. You can tell Nathan does both. Hope this review can have a positive impact in reach
  • Linda Cob

  • Phantom@99
    Fascinating Podcast
    I appreciated the energy and information on this podcast. Personally I could have done without the language, Lauren used. But very interesting episode.
  • tomanny$$$
    Best podcast ever
    I am usually never a podcast girly but this is such an informational, assertive podcast! I love the way he speaks about business and he gives great inspirational insight, tips, and has helped me shift my mindset to grow my business more! Can’t wait to hear more of your episodes!
  • Niloo Rosi
    Thank you!!
    I really enjoy listening to Nathan’s podcast. What is interesting is that, being a floral designer myself I find his discussions incredibly relatable to my business. There’s something about hearing someone speak with genuine passion and from the heart. Thank you, Nathan, for creating such engaging content!
  • JoezyNelson
    So beneficial!
    I’ve learned something new and super helpful from every podcast I’ve listened to so far. I’m so grateful for the perspective, knowledge, and encouragement within the episodes. I’ve had to learn a lot on my own in my journey as a photographer, and this has helped me grow!
  • Katia Pistulka
    Nate bomb message
    This is huge and insanely necessary to listen to
  • Sarah Lanette
    A Needed Voice in the Industry
    It’s hard to find photography education with a biblical perspective. Nathan is a much needed voice in the industry! He offers valuable insight into furthering your business and practical advice. One of my favorite listens!
  • @everfindingbeauty
    Great Biblical Perspective!
    I love the podcast you did called comparison is the thief of joy Nathan! Such a helpful perspective is something I and many others really needed to hear! You are always so uplifting, honest and thoughtful which makes this a must listen for me. Your advice is applicable and easy to understand. I listened to an episode on posing on the way to a shoot and it helped so much!
  • SamiJoPhoto11
    Photography Guru
    As someone who has been shooting since I was a kid (borrowing my parents point and shoot), and trying to transform my passion and love of photography into a business, I can confidently say Nathan has guided me to where I am today. When I say guided, I mean like holding my hand and breaking down information like it’s Chinese and I’m in Pre-K, okay? He KNOWS how to teach and this podcast is my holy grail for my small buis. Bless this man and the photograph community for making this camera-holding-universe less intimidating & believing in all of us 🫶🏼
  • Lauracsp
    Actually helpful
    I don’t listen to many business type podcast because I just either find them way too detailed and boring or super silly and unhelpful. But this one is right on. Nathan is great at getting right to the point and thinking about things on a deeper level- not just the same tips over and over. I love anything mindset related that he discusses. Really great! Don’t switch to interviews only because I hate those podcasts- lol!
  • Mic_ai_ah
    Exceptional Value
    I love how much value this podcast provides to me as I walk through different phases of my business. For a free resources this podcast really knocks it out of the park. I also love that this is from a Christian entrepreneur in our industry! I have learned so much in such a short amount of time from listening and not only that but I have overcome mental blocks and fixed my point of view in areas that I didn’t even know needed fixing.
  • CrusitaR
    So informative and inspiring!!
    I am so glad I found this podcast! Nathan answers so many questions in the most in depth and helpful ways. Breaks down things that truly matter and help make your business, yourself, and your walk better! Extremely grateful for this podcast!

    Re-falling in love
    I’ve been doing photography for years but have never had the opportunity to shoot but events and is now dropping 9k this weeks in my photography business and is ready to hit the ground running. Yes it’s a huge step to spend this much… but I know that this has been a long time coming to invest into my photography career along with great podcasts like this. Thank you for providing this valuable information! I can’t wait to join the community.
  • Marianna Elise
    The BEST podcast in the industry!!
    The way Nathan communicates with his audience, and shows you what is possible if you put the work in and trust in God is so encouraging!! He truly has a way of showing you what is possible by the words he speaks over his listeners!! 10/10 recommend!!

    So far I have only heard 4 of your podcast. Great content. I really like the one about money and the misunderstanding of having money.
  • JN Robertson
    So helpful and full of Gods word.
    Nathan is so good at conveying where God and creativity intersect. I’m very encouraged by his podcast not only in my business but in my walk with the Lord. Keep it up.

    A Spiritual Inspirational RAW Podcast for Photographers!
    I absolutely love tuning in and listening to Nathan’s insight weekly! You can truly tell how PASSIONATE Nathan is about his work, helping other photographers thrive and how much he lives daily for The Glory of GOD, which is why everyone is so drawn to his podcast. It is such an honest podcast too in a motivational way and sometimes I will laugh because I am like “DANG I feel seen/exposed but you are right I could be doing X, Y and Z better Nathan thanks for that advice!” I am entering into my third year of owning my own photography business and I still learn SOO much from this podcast every time. It always motivates me to go do something immediately that will improve my business. Thank you Nathan for encouraging me to utilize my God-given talents and what God meant for me to do and others, we appreciate you!!! :)
