Creativity is messy and we like it that way. Saying yes and figuring out the rest, with photographer Chris Zebo.

Hey Maverick,

In Episode 114, my guest is Chris Zebo, an incredibly talented, award-winning photographer and multi-passionate creative.

I met Chris through my own fun creative endeavor, and could immediately tell that in addition to his travel and landscape photography which I love, he also has a keen business sense and a lot of great ideas! I was thrilled to book him for this show.

In our conversation, we discuss:

  • Chris’s penchant for saying YES to new opportunities in his career, and the messiness that follows as he puts his money or, rather, his camera lens, where his mouth is.

  • WHY that method works well for him (hint: because he is good at listening to his inner voice and letting the rest go.)

Chris now runs two successful photography businesses, and we dive in to his personal philosophy on creating a stellar client experience, and how interior design plays a big role in that. We also chat about how he balances his "millions" of projects to stay inspired and fulfilled. One thing I learned about Chris in this conversation is that he as good at painting a picture with words as he is with a camera. I think you'll enjoy this conversation.
