    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    Glad I found your podcast
    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!!! :)

    Insight I needed!
    This is my first time listening to this podcast and I’ve gain so much assurance and insight in the luxury wedding biz already. I can’t wait to browse the rest of the catalog.

  • JC Penney Registry User
    Love!
    I’ve never considered myself much of a podcast person but let me tell ya, when I came across Passion with Purpose I was instantly HOOKED. I’m a newborn & family photographer so not even in the wedding genre, but the amount of business knowledge I’ve gained from listening to this is insane. I think I’ve binged all but 20 or so of the episodes and am dreading the day that I’m all caught up 😂 The energy and value is worth every minute of listening! Highly recommend for any entrepreneurs out there. 10/10.
  • lucyjalin
    Thankful for a photo biz educator with Biblical values!
    I listened to the episode on is it wrong for Christian entrepreneurs to seek money and it was SO good! It was so insightful and I really appreciate Nate’s humble approach to sharing his thoughts and experiences to tackle this controversial topic. I’ve struggled a lot with money mindsets and this episode really helped me to see that even though I can have mixed motives about making money, doesn’t mean I should fear or reject it all together but that I can trust God will guide me and help me through navigating temptation as I seek to honor him and following his professional calling for me. Thank you so much!

    Personal & Professional: you have to listen!
    This show is gold! If you’re listening to this show it’s cause you’re looking for answers in your business. Nathan BRINGS IT. So good. Love this show.
  • Listen… you won’t regret it!
    Changed my brain chemistry
    I have struggled with money and the narrative I picked up as a child for a while and I am on a mission to heal that inner narrative and I can say with full confidence this podcast has healed parts of me that I didn’t realize needed healing. This podcast has absolutely changed the way my brain perceives money in the entrepreneurial world. The knowledge, wisdom and confidence God has given you to deliver this truth is very evident. I am so thankful I came across this podcast and am so thrilled to see a turn in my life and mind.
  • M096780
    This pod isn’t for photographers; it’s for anyone in the service market
    As a nurse injector I am always looking to find people who will help me elevate my client experience and take my personal brand/business to the next level. Nathan you are bringing so much value in every minute of your episodes. Thank you. Everyone else, the number of times I have paused to take notes, rewound and took some more notes is testament enough to how great this info is.
  • Lkalyuzhnyy
    Can’t stop listening to this podcast!
    Wow! I’ve had a really hard time with rebuilding my business when I moved across country. After spending 2 days consuming as much content as possible from this podcast, I’ve been able to approach booking weddings using a different strategy, and it WORKS!!! I feel so much more confident with my family’s future and am so incredibly thankful 😭
  • Annie Albrecht Photo
    One of the best photography podcasts out there
    I’ve been a silent listener for a while now, but Nathans episode on handling poor feedback I thought was so raw real and I just wanted to saw Nathan’s content is the best!
  • TPI Photography
    A fantastic podcast for photographers and entrepreneurs
    I started listening to this podcast about 8 months ago and it has been transformative for my business. The knowledge and wisdom shared, along with bringing experts into his episodes, has provided key information that I have been able to implement into my business. I’m now in his business blueprint program and that also has been vital to the growth and longevity of my photography business. Thanks dude!
  • Kara Hanes

    Best Photography Podcast
    Huge fan of Nathan’s podcast since day 1! Not just because of his brilliance, but because he centers his business & personal life around Jesus! There’s aren’t many business owners like him so I’m thankful for the community he’s created for us Jesus loving photographers! I just wish he posted episodes more often 🤪
  • HannahParks
    Listened to every single Podcast!
    Nate! Thank you so much for creating such an amazing podcast. This podcast has truly helped me so much. I am now 1 year going into my second year as a photographer. Your podcasts have changed my life this past year. I have set a 10x goal going into this next year and am promising to be unashamedly myself.

    Makes me smile and inspires me
    I’ve been following and listening to Nathan for a few months now and have already been so encouraged and inspired to grow as a photographer, my marketing and business strategies, and in confidence for myself and business through those things. Nathan, it especially encourages me how you’re not shy to give God the glory! That too is so inspiring and I pray He continues to grow your platform and bless your ventures. Thanks for pouring so much into others!

    No fluff
    I love that Nathan talks about real and practical things. There’s no fluff and added unnecessary content. I’ve been listening to his podcast for awhile and his is by far my top fave! Thank you Nathan for your wisdom, talent, and work into this podcast!
  • Kellbellbell3232
    Love Nathan, his guests, and all he has to say!
    Love his passion for his business, his faith in God, and how “practical” his podcasts are. His attitude is so positive but real. He has great resources and amazing guests on his podcasts!
  • raymlee
    Love this podcast
    So helpful and the topics are great. I find myself coming back again and again! There are always new things I can implement based on all the practical items discussed!
  • Joyannahstice
    Immediately Actionable Content
    I started my photography business in April of 2023 after years of being a hobbyist photographer. Nate’s podcast has been one of 3 tools I find myself constantly coming back to over and over again. His episode about what he’d do if he started over now was a freaking game changer and powerhouse of information that has catapulted me into actually getting bookings with my ideal clients. Get a notebook and pen, because you’re gonna need it.
  • McGuire Moments
    Practical. Intentional. Informative..
    Nathan! I discovered your podcast about 6 months ago and oh. my. gosh! There are SO many “hidden” gems in every. single. episode. Thank you so much for taking the time to not just ask intentional questions, but phrasing them in a way that we are receiving practical information that we can quickly apply to our daily practices as SBO’s. Keep up the fantastic work! XX - McGuireMoments
