Jeremy Cowart - Getting Past “I Can't” to Change Yourself and the WorldWe all have amazing ideas. Some are hard earned while others just come to us while we are walking down the hall on one unexpected day. But to make those ideas a reality, we need to get past the “I can't moment” that invariably follows.On today's Inside Influence Podcast episode I talk to Jeremy Cowart, celebrity photographer, artist, and entrepreneur, about how fear lies on the other side of great ideas and how he has learned to get past those fears. Jeremy Cowart has been named the “Most Influential Photographer on the Internet” by Huffington Post, Forbes and Yahoo. He has presented at TEDx and the United Nations. His photos have appeared in well-known publications such as Time Magazine, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and Sports Illustrated. He has taken portraits of stars such as Taylor Swift, Sting, Britney Spears, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Heidi Klum, and Gwyneth Paltrow. He is also well-known for his “Purpose Hotel” Kickstarter campaign. The aim of the project is to create a hotel chain where all the goods, services, and decor used generates a financial benefit for the marginalised around the world. A luxury hotel designed to connect people around the world to the stories of others - and enable them to support.Today's Guest Jeremy CowartJeremy grew up in Hendersonville Tennessee. He was a struggling student who seemed to fail at everything from piano to maths. “I can't do it” was his motto. But his supportive parents were insistent that he could do anything: “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me”.Then he discovered a love of drawing and started to believe in himself.After high school, his parents suggested that he study graphic design. But he did not feel smart enough to use computers. But he tried it and ended up becoming a designer and then a digital photographer right as digital photography was taking off.Fast forward over 20 years, and he is an influential photographer to the stars and renowned social entrepreneur. In addition to his photographic work, he helped start the global movement Help Portrait, founded an online learning platform See University, formed an idea development community called LIMINAL Society, invented a new digital photographic technique called Lightograph, and is founder and CIO of Purpose Hotel.He has also written four books and is a sought after presenter.Website: www.jeremycowart.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/jeremycowartTwitter: www.twitter.com/jeremycowartInstagram: www.instagram.com/jeremycowartLinkedIn:www.linkedin.com/in/jeremycowart“I think a lot of people want to help but a lot of times they just don't know how … but when you can align helping with people's natural passions and interests, magic can happen.” “I have pursued over 75 different ideas and probably more than half of them have been total utter failures, or I have abandoned them altogether.

Have you ever had an idea so big that it feels impossible, too scary, too out of reach? If you have a calling that overwhelms you, join us to hear how Jeremy Cowart’s career has tackled all those questions and more. Jeremy has accomplished many wonderful callings including work as a humanitarian photographer, artist, author, and founder of The Purpose Hotel! We’ll discover the impact of Jeremy’s work and the mighty power behind the simple act of asking. 3:05 - The Jeremy 101 Jeremy Cowart is a man of many ideas and many callings. He’s an artist, photographer, humanitarian, fine art creator, public speaker, painter, and founder of Help Portrait and The Purpose Hotel. Knowing how much Jeremy has accomplished would make you think it’s always been that way, but school did not come easily to Jeremy. He struggled thinking he’d never amount to much and thought his grades reflected his value as a human being. In junior high, Jeremy fell in love with the arts and his parents encouraged him to pursue graphic design as a more stable career path. In college, Jeremy jumped head first into graphic design and even worked for an ad agency after college. In 2001, Jeremy left the advertising world to pursue his own design agency and has worked for himself ever since. 7:47 - Follow Your Purpose While working on a photography job, Jeremy found himself walking through The Standard (hotel) in LA. As he walked by the rooms, the thought randomly popped into his head that each room could tell a story. Every aspect of a hotel stay reminded Jeremy of a cause that helps people. Each room could sponsor a specific child, keys could be linked to The Giving Keys, the art could come from humanitarian artists, the soap could come from Thistle Farms, and so on. Like many of us with big dreams or entrepreneurship visions, Jeremy spent a lot of time in fear of the grand scale of his idea. On a flight over NYC, the visual of thousands of skyscrapers lead Jeremy to ask “Why can’t that be me?” It’s a great lesson for all of us: If God calls us to something specific, all we are required is to trust that next small step put before us. 12:44 - For People, By People Since The Purpose Hotel idea revolves around helping other people, crowd funding seemed fitting to help get the idea off the ground.    While over 4,700 people contributed to the first Kickstarter campaign for the hotel, the original campaign fell well short of the $2 million goal. What looked like an initial setback proved once again a lesson in trusting things to line up in just the right way. With a second Kickstarter set at $350,000, the next campaign raised around $750,000. When we hit a roadblock on the path to a big dream, instead of letting what looks like failure hinder us, we can recognize it as a setup rather than a setback. 17:03 – The Orchestrated Details Speaking of setbacks, another one popped up when the first plans for the hotel’s location fell through. The next day at the annual Help Portrait event, Santa Claus (no joke!) surprised Jeremy with a Christmas miracle and offered him land to build The Purpose Hotel right next to the brand new Nashville Convention Center.  A chance meeting with Horst Schultze of THE Ritz Carlton did not initially go well, but at the last minute, Jeremy asked if he could show Schultze the full presentation. A 10-minute meeting turned into three hours of conversation and a big offer from Schultze. When things feel like they just won’t work out, God is orchestrating something bigger and better that we don’t always know about right away.  The Purpose Hotel plans to break ground next year and open in 2022. The long-term hope is to continue building hotels all over the world as a beacon of light helping humanity. 30:25 - I’m Possible. Jeremy’s new book is called “I’m Possible.” It’s Jeremy’s story of turning “I can’t do this” to the reminder of “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Hear Jeremy tell us about how that change allowed him to bear witness to more orchestrated moments, including stories of healing from Rwanda in his  “Voices of Reconciliation.” 42:38 - Getting To Know Our Guest Jeremy has been all over the world, so I’m sure you’re curious to know where he’d go if he had to move somewhere outside of the US! You’ll also learn who he’d pick to narrate a movie about his life, what book has influenced him the most, and which 1900s era he’d travel back in time to visit and why! Most importantly, Jeremy shares with us what it means to run a business with purpose (you don’t want to miss hearing what it means for him to be creative)!  JEREMY COWART BIO: Named the “Most Influential Photographer on the Internet” by Huffington Post, Forbes and Yahoo in 2014, Jeremy Cowart is an award-winning photographer, artist, and entrepreneur whose mission in life is to "explore the intersection of creativity and empathy." Jeremy has published four books and is a sought-after speaker, having presented at TEDx, the United Nations and creative conferences across the country.

A friend once said are you ever not working? When you love what you do you never consider it work In the very first episode, I share the story of How a Camera Saved My Life This is a follow up where I share the entire story of how I got started and where I am now. My first camera was a Kodak Polaroid Camera Then the convenient store digital film cameras In Middle School, I was gifted with a  digital camera which I took with me on my first out of the country trip to Costa Rica. The DSLR (Digitial Single Lens Reflex) cameras I own and use are the Nikon D3000 and D7000 (Video Capabilities) I Really started using it during my first trip to my first African country of Ghana (Which I also talked about in a previous episode) Unbeknownst to me, I started capturing the last professional images of friends/family/clients Family Portrait - Son of Audiologist Marine Family friend Almaz - I took the most and the last professional photographs of her Began photographing my friend who grew up in a musical family My first big media break thanks to my aunt who was a freelance makeup artist My name meaning is illuminous (illuminating, shining bright) That’s what I bring to the Music Industry and any of my Candid Style of Portraits My classmates have said my travel work resembles Steve McCurry and makes them feel like they were in the country I traveled to. I studied the work of Jeremy Cowart who I mentioned in a previous episode as he founded Help-Portrait. Back when Amazon was a book reseller my mom bought me photo books I ordered books from photographers who looked like me or whose style I admired such as Matthew Jordan Smith and photographers like Mark Liddell, Mario Testino Brian Smith - whom I had the pleasure of meeting and receiving an autograph from. I even got to meet the official photographer of the Grand Ole Opry, Chris Hollo and got his Autograph as well. Studied Commercial Photography in High School - wanted to take the journalism program, but instead got placed in the Architecture program. There are no regrets because I know how to read floor plans and how I want to build my future house. Then studied Professional Photography post-high school. Only a handful of my classmates still actively pursue photography because, like entrepreneurship, it is not easy. What a full Circle it is because a camera saved my life due to an image my mother took to help detect cancer, and now I plan to give back by teaching children. I saw a need and a void that I could fill. I had others who wanted to be my assistant just so they could learn.

I’m that big-hearted empath that wears my heart on my sleeve. My Love language is any one of the five on a given day but my biggest is quality time. As a Muslim, Charity is one of the five pillars of our religion of Islam. I talk more about that in a previous episode (Episode 05 Islam A Way of Life). Charity becomes more prominent during the holy month of Ramadan. It is more so common for women, especially if they are on their menstrual cycle or pregnant because if you are unable to fast or sustain from eating and drinking from sun up to sun down, then you should be charitable. That can be monetary, or a matter of giving your time and serving or making food for those who are fasting or less fortunate. Also because of my history of PCOS Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome which I talked about in a previous episode (Episode 02 PCOS Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), I end up doing more charity than fasting. It’s like taking a breath for me. My first real paid job was as a summer camp counselor to deaf-blind in middle school. No I was not 16 yet, but it was a part of vocational and orientation/life skills. They paid us bi-weekly. It was such an exciting job because I was able to be of service. I was able to be a listener. I wanted to be a psychologist. At my first high school, I became a member of Key Club, high school portion of Kiwanis International, during my freshman year. Even though I ran for secretary and did not win the election, my club advisor asked me to be the Class President. I was the president of all the Sophomores. I started a Key Club chapter at my second high school in Fort Lauderdale. Key Club has nothing to do with the making of door keys, but I do believe that service is the key to life as well as kindness. As a young adult, I became a member of Kiwanis, the Young Adult Club in Washington D.C. where I led a chapter version of the fundraising program called Eliminate (maternal and neonatal tetanus; a bacterial disease can affect joints in third world countries). The year I graduated high school, I was looking up ways to be of service with my photography skills. I learned about Help-Portrait and photographer Jeremy Cowart, who is based in the Nashville area. He founded it in 2008. It’s an annual event. Photographers, volunteers, makeup artists come together to take a professional picture for free. It’s an exhilarating experience. I became one of those who would always give the homeless or less fortunate money whenever I could. My favorite and most exciting service projects are the ones where I can interact with people. There was a period where I would question their motive, but then it took me some growing to realize that my intentions are pure and it’s between them and God what they do with the money. My next real job (A monthly paycheck) was Operation Crossroads Africa. I also talked about them in a previous episode. (Episode 03 Operation Crossroads Africa) I wore many hats: Photographer for orientation, communications associate for DMV Alumni Association, videographer for their promo videos, social media marketer (Created their Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest), email manager, productivity consultant, advisor, gala steering committee member, and volunteer. That opened a lot of doors for me. They were my first real client. I’m grateful for the opportunities. I look forward to being a group leader either to my husband’s country of The Gambia or to a new country as a part of my goal to visit 30 African countries by age 30. Crossroads Meant so Much to me as a paid job. My love for Africa grew working with Crossroads. I will give my old clothing items and electronics to Goodwill, Salvation Army or companies like those before I sell it. If it’s not in horrible condition, I will give to someone who I know will be more grateful for it. That mentality stayed with me when it came to recycling. My favorite quote by Muhammad Ali: “Service is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.” Takeaways: Love Always is the Answer Love Always Wins Be Charitable Be selfless You can never truly make it entirely on your own. It does not have to be lonely climbing the ladder to success My first few jobs involved interacting with people/being of service. One of the 9 Guiding rules of my part-time job is service. No matter what I do where this life takes me, I try to always incorporate service with all of my jobs as a photographer, brand cultivating strategist and as a woman.

If you wandered into Baltimore's Helping Up Mission last Dec. 6, you might have thought you were in a photo studio. Rows of portrait stations lined the room, all staffed by photographers busy shooting and printing images.  And if you really paid attention, you'd notice that no money was being exchanged. That's right, photographers were shooting high quality portraits — free — for people who normally might never have experienced that kind of attention. Wes Linda was one of the organizers of the Help-Portrait Baltimore movement, and he joins this episode to share what he learned, and how you can change your own world with your camera.   Listen to the podcast or visit the show notes at bit.ly/shutterbuglife022.

Por sugerencia de uno de nuestros oyentes, hemos incursionado en varios temas que iremos publicando poco a poco. Gracias a un mensaje de Edison Palacios hablamos en este episodio acerca de la técnica denominada HDR o High Dynamic Range (Fotografía de Alto Rango Dinámico). Es un filtro de Photoshop? Qué es? Siempre tiene que verse tipo "cartoon"? Y como ya es Junio, comenzamos a planear Help Portrait Fort Lauderdale 2014. Vea algunos ejemplos de fotografía HDR en mi website en los siguientes enlaces: http://www.rostonics.com/www/rostonicscomblog-143/31-other/99-the-not-so-new-new-orleans.html Para aquellos interesados en Help Portrait, ya sea para participar en el evento de Fort Lauderdale o para planear el suyo propio, pueden visitar http://www.TheSoulCatchers.org o ponerse en contacto con nosotros.
