In this podcast episode, we reflect on our recent trip to the Canadian Rockies, specifically Banff and Jasper National Park. We hosted our 2nd annual Photographer Mindset Retreat in these locations, immersing ourselves in the stunning landscapes and encountering abundant wildlife. Despite challenges like rain and wildfire smoke, we adapted, pivoted, and made the most of our adventure. Listen as we review the trip and use the scenarios that occurred to more deeply explore the photography and mindset principles we routinely discuss on the show. In this episode some of things we talk about but aren't limited to are:Making your trips more affordable by reaching out to companies and tourism boardsHow to keep a positive attitude and perspective when external factors are plaguing your plans or tripHow to know when to pivot or make a change vs. keeping the status quo or sticking to the original planHow suffering and discomfort is a usually short term experience and why that's worth regularly pushing throughThanks to Tamron Americas for sponsoring this episode!
