How to Stand Out as a Photographer by Being YOU
Hey . . .
🎣 Hook: Think successful photography is all about mastering the technical side? Think again!
The Old Way vs. The Right WayFor too long, photographers have been caught up in the technical side of the craft—perfect lighting, flawless settings, the latest gear. But guess what? That’s not what makes photos memorable. So often, photographers chase after “iconic” scenes they’ve seen before, trying to replicate what’s already out there. This approach can leave you frustrated, exhausted, and unfulfilled because…
You lose the uniqueness of your voice — it gets buried under what everyone else is doing. Your photos start to feel flat—sure, they’re technically “perfect,” but something’s missing. The creative joy fades as you chase perfection over authentic expression.Colleen and I get it, though. It’s easy to feel like you’re just one in a crowd. You may even feel like your voice doesn’t matter because of all the “rules” out there.
Why This Episode Is Just for YouIn this episode, Colleen opens up about her journey from technical perfectionist to true artist. And her number-one piece of advice? “Be you.” Dive into what it means to find your voice and create work that feels truly personal and fulfilling.
Here’s a snapshot of what you’ll learn:
How to see the world through your unique lens – Learn why chasing iconic shots actually limits you, and how to break free from the pressure to fit into a “photographer” mold. Creating meaning over meeting expectations – Colleen shares how she discovered her true purpose by following her own values instead of traditional definitions of “success.” Letting go of “perfect” – Tips on shifting from technical perfectionism to creating work that’s truly resonant and meaningful for you. Why Being You Works BetterWhen you create from your own experiences and unique perspective, you:
Connect deeply with your audience—People can tell when work is personal and authentic. Feel more fulfilled—Every shot becomes a story, not just a technical exercise. Stand out naturally—Your work is distinct because it’s you. No one else has your story or your way of seeing the world. Last Thought to Take With YouThe world has plenty of perfectly captured, “ideal” shots. What it needs is your unique vision. Start embracing the weird, wild, and wonderful perspectives you bring—because that’s what will truly set you apart.

Curiosity: "If I had known back then that being curious would lead me to a career in AI and tourism innovation, I would’ve asked a lot more questions!" Dan Flores, Satisfi Labs
Parable:Think of tourism as a river. If you stop paddling, you might float for a while, but eventually, the current will pull you in directions you don’t want to go. Curiosity is your paddle. It keeps you exploring new waters, finding smoother routes, and avoiding obstacles. Without it, you’re stuck, moving only where the current takes you.
Principle:In leisure and tourism, curiosity and an open mind aren’t just beneficial—they’re necessary. With the rise of new technology, especially AI, those who stay curious and continuously explore new tools will not only survive but thrive. It’s about constantly asking: "Is there a better way to do this?" and never getting too comfortable with "good enough."
Transition:That’s why now, more than ever, staying open to new ideas is vital. Whether it’s AI, customer engagement strategies, or operational efficiency, those who embrace curiosity will be the ones who stay ahead. The biggest challenge holding back many tourism businesses is the belief that they already know what works, and they’re hesitant to explore new opportunities—like AI—to improve efficiency and customer experience.
Call to Action:So, if you’ve been feeling stuck in the old ways of doing things and want to see how embracing curiosity can lead to better outcomes, Reach out to Dan!

Why exploring deeper is more fulfilling than just hitting tourist spots.
Think of Anthony Bourdain. Sure, he could have visited the usual tourist spots and called it a day, but what made him an icon was his curiosity. He found the beauty in meeting locals, eating their food, and experiencing life as they lived it. It wasn’t about the destination; it was about the stories he unearthed along the way.
It’s easy to stick to the guidebook and rush through our travels. But here’s the thing—when we do that, we miss out on the heart and soul of the places we visit. We lose the opportunity to see through the eyes of the locals, to witness the life that happens outside the tourist zones. That’s why we created content like the Journal of Lost Time and events like Lost Places, to inspire deeper exploration and meaningful experiences.
If you're tired of travel that feels like checking boxes and ready to experience the world with depth and curiosity, check out the Journal of Lost Time, and start uncovering the stories that matter.
Tune into Episode 469 for an experience and motivation with Josiah Roe—a great listen the next time you "get outside!"

Show Notes
Most of us dream of grand adventures, but everyday responsibilities seem to pull us away. We settle for the occasional weekend hike or a vacation once a year while longing for something more thrilling and purposeful.
You want to explore more of the world but feel tied down by routine. You crave adventure and meaningful experiences but aren’t sure how to make them a consistent part of your life. You see others doing incredible things, like skiing the Himalayas or conducting research in the Arctic, and wonder, "Why not me?"We understand. Society has made you believe that real adventures are a rare luxury or only for a chosen few. But it’s not your fault—no one told you it’s possible to live a life full of exploration.
That’s why this episode with Anneka Williams, a climate scientist and adventurer, is so inspiring. In this conversation, you’ll learn how she crafted a life full of global adventures, from skiing down icy peaks in Patagonia to studying climate change in the most remote corners of the world.
Anneka’s story will take you beyond the typical vacation. Imagine skiing as a child on the single-chair lift at Mad River Glen in Vermont, then fast-forward to skiing in Bhutan or studying gas emissions in the high-altitude Paramo of South America. This episode will show you that the world is a wild, beautiful place waiting to be explored—and you don’t need to wait until retirement to do it.
Start young but keep exploring: Anneka’s began skiing as a kid in Vermont, but she never stopped seeking new places to explore. Whether it’s hiking the Andes or fieldwork in Chile, she proves that no matter where you start, the key is to keep pushing your boundaries. Mix work with play: She didn’t choose between her career as a climate scientist and her love for the outdoors. Instead, she combined the two. From her fieldwork in Arctic Alaska to her free time backpacking in Patagonia, Anneka’s adventures blend purpose with passion. Embrace the unknown: Anneka’s trips to far-flung places like Bhutan or Columbia were filled with uncertainties and challenges, but those experiences shaped her most memorable adventures. The best stories come from stepping outside your comfort zone.
Here are three inspiring lessons from Anneka’s adventurous life that you can apply to your own journey:Benefits of the Solution:
Discover the world in a way most people only dream of: From mountains to jungles, following Anneka’s example means you’ll explore landscapes few get to experience. Adventure meets purpose: You won’t just be sightseeing—you’ll be part of something bigger, whether that’s climate work or another passion that drives you to explore. Growth through exploration: The thrill of tackling new environments, cultures, and challenges will not only satisfy your adventurous spirit but also push you to grow in ways you never expected.Lasting message (A):
The world is wide, wild, and waiting for you—don’t wait for "someday" to start living your adventure.Tune into Episode 466 for an experience and motivation with Anneka Williams—a great listen the next time you "get outside!"

What are your favorite outdoor activities to do in South Carolina?
23:25 I just really do a lot of paddling, I mean, there's like literally Blackwater rivers are just, they call them Blackwater because there's no elevation to them. You don't seem to have any current at all because they almost look like swamps.
What advice would you give to aspiring outdoor adventure travel writers?
17:44 I would say read. Write. If you're gonna pitch a, or if you're gonna write, if you wanna write for a certain outlet, make sure that you understand their voice.
What they're trying to, what, so, It's great if you want to tell it in your words, but it may not be the voice of the publication that you're going after.

INCA (formerly Inca Floats, Inc.) began in the 70s as a family adventure when Bill Roberson, a scientist and professor, and his two daughters, Kim and Marika, traveled to Peru and the Galapagos Islands. They had such an adventurous, entertaining, and educational time that they couldn't wait to share it with their friends. And so a company was born. Bill tells us about an expedition through South America before founding INCA that inspired and motivated him to start a travel company focused on the region.

Welcome to episode 457 of the Outdoor Biz Podcast with Marika Roberson and INCA. Brought to you this week by Smugmug. INCA (formerly Inca Floats, Inc.) began in the 70s as a family adventure when Bill Roberson, a scientist and professor, and his two daughters, Kim and Marika, traveled to Peru and the Galapagos Islands. They had such an adventurous, entertaining, and educational time that they couldn't wait to share it with their friends. And so a company was born.
