Taking action towards your goals beats the intentions of having them, almost every time.  I have been guilty of staying in the planning stage for far too long without ever taking action towards my goals. In this season I am focused on taking aligned actions and really seeing progress in multiple areas of my life.  Towards this end I utilized ChatGPT and a prompt (The Devil Couldn’t Reach Me) I saw in a TikTok video. I loved the idea so much I saved it and sent it to 3 friends encouraging them to try out this prompt for themselves.  The Devil Couldn’t Reach Me Game; We're going to play "the devil couldn’t reach me" I’ll write "the devil couldn’t reach me" and you'll respond "he already did" To which I will then I'll ask "how?" and you'll respond brutal and honestly based off of our previous conversations and all of the inputs you currently have pertaining to me.  I encourage you to try it out as the response may surprise you. Input this is ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or whatever LLM AI you use. Don’t forget to take action towards your goals today, one step forward is called progress and action beats intention almost every time. Let's connect! I'd love to hear from you.

Swim Week Las Vegas came to town and with it a new epiphany for me.  In this episode I encourage you to realize when something no longer works for you in the same way it used to, how you have the power to create new opportunities for yourself in whatever way you choose.  Swim Week Las Vegas was a blast!

For the past few months I have had an inner voice saying to me “Content is the key to the next season in your life. Content is your path.” Recently I have been listening to much of Gary Vaynerchuck’s podcast where he has been talking about publishing content to the top 7-10 platforms centered around your passions or interests. This message has resonated deeply with me.  In this episode of the podcast I discuss the why behind my return to content marketing, and a personal challenge I am engaging in over the next 30 days.  Tune in today and let me know how you are using content marketing in your business and your life.  Let's connect!

The goal is simple; generate $1,000 per month, every month of “passive” income through my own business efforts.  $1,000 per month is not a ton of money but it could be enough to create margin in your finances each month. With a goal to create this “passively” that still leaves time to go out each month and create a larger sum actively through business efforts.    Tune in to this episode to hear what I mean by $1,000 “passive” income each month, why I have set this as a goal for myself, and the plan I have implement to make this happen.  Let's connect!

In continuing with assigning a theme to my overall year 2026 is The Year of Reset.  This theme came to me at the end of 2025 when I realized I would be rebuilding my life and my business from [what felt like] nothing. Every aspect of my world needed a refresh, a facelift, an upgrade, a reset. The idea of approaching every decision as a reset from your old way of existing is something that resonated with me deeply when I sat down to think of how I wanted 2026 to look. I knew I would be rebuilding various parts of my world but when I took a step back and said "What if I rebuild everything? What if I just start over with all of it?" that is when the real idea took root and began to grow. This year isn't a pivot. 2026 is The Year of Reset.  Let's connect! I'd love to hear from you.

The year 2025 brought so much change into my life. When I look back over the year as a whole I remember a lot of hurt and disappointment, but also a lot of growth and healing and learning. For me it really was the year of new opportunities.  I went into the year of 2025 with the mindset of being open to new opportunities, of looking for and accepting them as they came into my world. I would repeatedly ask myself “Am I using fear of failure as an excuse to never take action?? What does this mean? What does this make possible?”  I learned a lot about myself, about what I wanted, who I wanted to be, and how I want JohnnyBoy to show up in the future. I am taking that with me into this year of 2026.  2025 was indeed a year of new opportunities, let's take a look back.  Join my Substack! Let's connect! I'd love to hear from you.

In 2023 I began putting themes to my overall upcoming year. A guiding idea of how I would operate throughout that year and what filter I would use when making decisions and taking aligned actions.  2024 was The Year of Events and 2025 was The Year of New Opportunities. Both years saw massive growth in my mindset, my business moves, and my connections because I would constantly ask myself "What does this make possible, and does it line up with my theme for this year?" 2026 has a theme as well and I will dive into that in an upcoming episode but for today I want to dive into assigning a theme for your overall year, and how that helped me in 2025 The Year of New Opportunities.  Let's connect!

Early 2025 I forgot I am a creator, but by the end of the year I had found that joy again and tapped back into the gift of creating. As we move into the new year I want to remind you of that gift, and the power you have within you right now to pursue the life you want to live this year and every day moving forward.  This is part 1 in a short series about being Locked In for 2025, enjoy!

Moving into the new year I am committed to being intentional with my marketing efforts when it comes to my products and services. This means I need to look at what I have been doing (not much in recent years), what I haven't been doing (being consistent), what I need to continue, and what I need to stop.  I sat down and did an audit of my marketing over the past 2 years and came to the conclusion of what I need to focus on moving forward into 2026. I formulated a plan of action to follow, and in doing so I found 3 main marketing tips I want to share with you for your own marketing efforts.  Tune in, audit your own marketing, and develop your own plans to better market your product or service in the coming year!

The weekend following Mr Olympia I went to Los Angeles California to take part in Los Angeles Fashion Week produced by Art Hearts Fashion. This would be my 5th time volunteering backstage with Art Hearts Fashion and it was one of the best shows I have been part of, including 2 I attended as part of the audience.  Walking in backstage was like a mini family reunion; seeing all of the staff, photographers, models, and other volunteers I had seen or met with at previous shows. This was a chance to reconnect the sort of family that only forms at events.  3 days of helping designers left and right, I was moving chairs, I was carrying cases of water, I was herding models, organizing clothing and accessories ....I was in my element. Hit play on this episode to hear all about my experience from the October 2025 Los Angeles Fashion Week produced by Art Hearts Fashion, and how it has played into how I will approach photography in the near future.  If you would like to send me a message head over to my Contact Page where I have links to each of my brands and all of my social media.

Coming out of 2024 The Year of Events I had to decide what I wanted the theme of 2025 to be. After much thought, prayer, and introspective it became clear something big would be on the horizon for my life. Putting that into action, and backing it up with belief the entire way, I decided the theme for 2025 would be The Year of New Opportunities. I knew I would be looking for new opportunities everywhere I went, that I would be open to moving far beyond my comfort zone, that I would be leveling up in multiple areas of my life. I knew I be experiencing new opportunities throughout the entire year, and boy was I right.  Before Las Vegas was even on my radar. Before the day job offer came through. Before my dogs health issues started I had a deep since 2025 would bring many changes to my life, and I thought I was ready it.  This episode is a continuation of the series outlining what is next for JohnnyBoy Studios.

2024 was the first year I themed for my life; I called it The Year Of Events.  After years of FOMO I decided I would take action, and committed to attend the events in 2024. Despite whatever would come up, I would not let myself talk myself out of attending something I knew I wanted to be at.  I put together a plan, started using Notion to track the events, and got out from behind a keyboard to go connect in person. One of the best moves I have made in recent years.  Today's episode is all about 2024 The Year Of Events, what I learned and how it shaped my approach to attending events moving forward.  The takeaways from 2024 definitely played a huge part of 2025. Tune in and hear all about my approach to live events now and why I plan to double down on them in the future.
