Summary
Can you believe this show has been running for 10 YEARS! Today’s guest was one of my earliest guests, and long time friend, Jasmine Star. Jasmine is a photographer, business strategist and founder of Social Curator. If you're an OG listener, you'll hear some behind the scenes stories of some our collaborations, including the internet’s first ever LIVE wedding (where Jasmine taught CreativeLive’s first wedding photo class - attended by 150,000 students!) More important than reminiscing, though, we go deep on finding your voice, adopting children, homemade tortillas, dropping out and reinventing yourself in an entirely new career.
Jasmine's journey is one that many creatives can identify with, from facing difficult times, how she found her feet and her personal process of transitioning from one career to another. She articulates how to make that transition and gives us very practical advice that will add heaps of value to you.
We also talk about...
- instagram strategy - she’s a master - and you should know all about her business socialcurator.com
- Mentors, leaders, and inspirations
- the evolution of a career, how to transition from being known / building a community as a one thing (like a wedding photographer) and re-shaping that vision to your next big thing
- moving away from anything seen as “safe” - law school, a traditional career, or living with your parents - to pursue a crazy dream career in the face of doubt and discouraging surroundings.
Jasmine is so good, so fun, and I can’t wait for you to hear the show.
Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

| 0:00.0 | Can you believe this show has been running for 10 years? |
| 0:09.0 | 10 years? |
| 0:10.0 | And today is not some sort of fancy anniversary or anything like that, but it dawned on me |
| 0:14.5 | because the guest that I am introing right now is Jasmine Star. |
| 0:19.2 | And Jasmine Star is an amazing photographer, |
| 0:22.7 | an entrepreneur, and a business strategist helps creators unlock their potential. And she's just |
| 0:29.5 | an absolute superstar when it comes to building a brand and finding your voice. So this 10-year |
| 0:36.6 | thing that I'm, I just ranted about is she was, I think, |
| 0:40.3 | our fourth class on Creative Live. 15,000 people watched her, took her class on wedding photography |
| 0:48.7 | live. It was trending above Barack Obama ahead of Lindsay Lohan. I have this green cap to prove it. Of course, |
| 0:56.2 | Jasmine and I are dear friends because we've been, you know, homies for a long time. So we do get |
| 1:01.6 | into a lot of personal stories. This is not a story about photography. This is a personal journey |
| 1:06.6 | of invention and reinvention of finding your creative voice and of course we talk about making |
| 1:12.9 | tortillas we also cover adoption her mission from law school to dropping out to being living out of a |
| 1:24.0 | car and completely reinventing herself in a career where she had no previous |
| 1:29.9 | experience. She called herself a photographer before she even owned a camera. What I love about |
| 1:35.8 | this, well, first of all, Jasmine is a firecracker and brilliant. You're going to be very, very |
| 1:40.3 | inspired. But this is a journey that so many creators that I know have traveled. It is a journey through curiosity, through struggle. She talks. She's very, very good at not gold plating her grit. She shares some stories, some intimate stories about where she really struggled when she was crying on the floor, didn't think that she could possibly go on. And then she somehow |
| 2:02.1 | found a way to go on as I like to think all of us can. And so this story is hers is an inspirational |
| 2:09.9 | one. And it's also completely riddled and filled with very, very tactical pieces of |
| 2:15.8 | advice because Jasmine is a professional speaker. |
| 2:18.4 | She speaks on stages all over the place. |
