And maybe the most uncomfortable episode I've made so far.\nA few weeks ago, I sent an email to thirty photographers I know. I asked them one question: What's your dirty little secret? The thing you'd never admit publicly. The thought that lives in the back of your brain at 3 AM.\nI told them it would be anonymous. I just wanted the truth.\nAnd I got a lot of responses.\nThis episode is about those secrets. The ones we carry alone. The ones that make us feel like frauds, or failures, or like we've made a massive mistake.\nSome of these might be mine. I'm not telling you which ones.\nBut they're all real. And if you've thought any of them, you're not alone.\n\nThe Eight Secrets\nThe Gatekeeping - \"I resent [X] photographers and think I'm better than them.\"\nThe Copycat - \"I don't know how to make anything original.\"\nThe Performance - \"I'm not as busy as I make it look.\"\nThe House of Cards - \"I'm one accident away from losing everything.\"\nThe Golden Handcuffs - \"I would walk away if I could afford it.\"\nThe Minimum Effort - \"I'm just trying to get the work out the door.\"\nThe Burnout - \"I don't care about photography anymore.\"\nThe Long Game - \"I'm terrified I won't be able to retire.\"\nMentioned in This Episode\nLeslie's Podcast: Niche to Meet You\nA great show about finding your creative lane.
