Entrepreneurs and business leaders are goal-oriented people. Always striving for success, chasing the dream. But, what if you obtain the success, you’re living the dream, and it turns out it isn’t quite what you expected? What happens if you achieve your ultimate goal only to realize your “why” wasn’t as clearly defined as you’d thought?

Our guest experienced and overcame just that. She achieved her dream of running a successful business that allowed her to travel the world practicing her craft with the freedom of working for herself. Yet, when it came down to it, she didn’t feel fulfilled. She didn’t feel free.

Today’s guest is Brooke Genn, a retreat photographer and creative director. In this episode. Brooke talks about the realizations she made that allowed her to pivot from what she thought was her dream into a more fulfilling business, and life, in line with who she actually is. She tells us how she was able to create a sustainable passion-driven business and how knowing yourself, your habits, and your passions allows you to align your business to match YOU.

Brooke Genn is an entrepreneur who’s not afraid to pivot. She’s run businesses from international wedding photography to copywriting and even a vintage boutique! Prone to spontaneity and likely to set sail on a moment’s notice, she always takes the road less traveled. She and her husband, Wilhelm, both work remote and have loved living the digital nomad dream, though they’re now choosing to create a season of slow travel and stillness. These two even live in a luxury solar-powered tiny home on wheels!
